Revision as of 00:18, 19 January 2024

The RetroMC Punishment Manual (RPM) is designed to outline the punishments issued to players for different offences. This document is currently in draft and thus, only staff can edit this.
To staff: If you wish to edit this in any way, contact @cruxell ( 16.png CruxyMC in-game) or @derperu ( 16.png Orknarok_666).

Advertising

Advertising can be broken up between malicious and non-malicious advertising, and thus, various cases should be handled differently. It should be noted that mentioning the names of other servers or other off-topic activities and discussing them is not necessarily a punishable offence; however, the issue lies in the direct advertising and distribution of other server IPs/links.

Malicious advertising

An example for what can be considered malicious advertising: https://bans.johnymuffin.com/b/e476cE
As you can see, this user is directly inviting people to an alternative server and asking them to play there, which is a direct conflict of interest for the server.
From the context given, this player seems to be at best unaware of how this could cause harm to the server, or at worst, just doesn't care and thus, was promptly banned.
Players like these can make appeals, but will have a permanent record on their ban history.

Non-malicious advertising

An example for what can be considered non-malicious advertising: https://bans.johnymuffin.com/b/465d4E
As you can see, this user had posted a link to another server in response to another player asking if there were any legacy anarchy servers.
While this user did post a domain name/IP address to another server (which is a conflict of interest and does harm the server), it is clear that it was not their intention to directly harm the server.
Players like these should promptly be met with a warn, a mute then a ban for this behavior if the offense is repeated.

AFKing/idling and alternate accounts

RetroMC has a feature wherein AFK players will be auto-kicked if they're idling for longer than 30 minutes; however, this feature can be bypassed via anti-AFK pools and other various methods.
For a while now, players haven't really been punished for bypassing the autokick timer, and there has never been an issue with people using anti-AFK pools.
However, as of 11th January 2024, some players are using one or multiple accounts to merely idle while not being at the computer playing the game for long stretches of time – this results in players who are not being particularly active having immense gain for very little work, all while bypassing an intended auto-kick feature.
This is against the best interest of the server and will result in the following punishments on a case by case violation:

  • 1st violation: A warning.
  • 2nd violation: A 1 week temporary ban and freeze of farm.
  • 3rd violation: A permanent ban and removal of farm.

Freezing/removal of farm only occurs if the farm that's being abused is owned by the player abusing it.
If its the other case, the player will be banned from using the farm and would be permanently banned if caught using it again.


Acceptable uses for AFK pools:

  • Using an alt account to load chunks so that a farm can work while your main account is actively gaining the resources at the farm.
  • Using an account to wait for crops to grow.
  • Idling and doing nothing of value.

Denied uses for AFK pools:

  • Using one or multiple accounts to afk at a farm that collects drops while you are not actively at your keyboard/controller.
  • Idling on a farm that lags the server in any way.
