== Reports ==
When the server rules are broken, a player or staffer may report the incident using the #courtroom channel on our Discord server. A similar report can be made if a player has a complaint against a staffer that they feel did not abide by the [[Staff Code of Conduct]].
When the server rules are broken, a player or Staffer may report the incident using the '''[http://minecraftmuseum.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=7 Courtroom]''' section of the forum. A similar report can be filed if a player has a complaint against a Staffer that they feel did not abide by the [[Staff Policy]]. Specific information on how to lay out your report is given on [http://minecraftmuseum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=349 this page of our forum].


== Rulings ==
A staffer will check new reports usually within 24 hours after they are posted and make an appropriate ruling. Typical outcomes are:
One or more Staffers will review each report after it is posted, and when a decision is reached, a ruling will be made. There are two common outcomes:
* If we feel a warning is needed, a staffer will give one.
* The report is marked as requiring no further action, or
* Otherwise, if a warning is already in effect, a ban may follow.
* A punishment is outlined and enforced, and the first post of the thread is updated.
* Depending on the case, it may be that no action is needed.
In cases where the banhammer is used on a player, we use our [[Ban Length Guidelines]] to decide how long a player should be banned for.
For more information on how warnings work and how long bans can be for various offences, check the [[Warnings and Ban Lengths]] page.


== Appeals ==
If the player involved (or one of their guardians) wants to discuss a ruling to add their side of the story then they're welcome to do so. We'll try to take everything into account fairly and we may adjust the ruling as a result. Keep in mind however that repeat offences or cases where we have very clear proof of wrongdoing are less likely to see any change in ruling.
Except for some cases of repeat offences, all rulings may be appealed by the player in question. There is no specific format required other than for the player to give as much information as they can as to why they believe the ruling should be changed.


== Open arbitration ==
All information that relates to a case of rulebreaking should be posted in public, and we reserve the right to use and repost any relevant private messages that may be made available. We understand that sometimes the players involved may not agree with this but we believe it's better to have things out in the open rather than to hold discussions behind closed doors - we want to avoid inaccurate or incomplete reports that might lead to unfair rulings.
In an effort to ensure that incidents are arbitrated in the fairest and most even-handed way, all reports, rulings, and subsequent appeals should be posted in public within the relevant Courtroom thread. Staffers reserve the right to repost any forum Private Messages relating to the report onto the public thread. Though we understand that sometimes the player(s) involved may find this disagreeable, we believe it is preferable to holding discussions behind closed doors; doing so may lead to inaccurate or incomplete reports that, in turn, lead to flawed rulings.

This page is part of the Rules and Policies of Cubic Worlds, covering:

Server Rules • Language Policy • Staff Code of Conduct • Courtroom Process
Warnings and Ban Lengths • Privacy and Video Policy

When the server rules are broken, a player or staffer may report the incident using the #courtroom channel on our Discord server. A similar report can be made if a player has a complaint against a staffer that they feel did not abide by the Staff Code of Conduct.

A staffer will check new reports usually within 24 hours after they are posted and make an appropriate ruling. Typical outcomes are:

  • If we feel a warning is needed, a staffer will give one.
  • Otherwise, if a warning is already in effect, a ban may follow.
  • Depending on the case, it may be that no action is needed.

For more information on how warnings work and how long bans can be for various offences, check the Warnings and Ban Lengths page.

If the player involved (or one of their guardians) wants to discuss a ruling to add their side of the story then they're welcome to do so. We'll try to take everything into account fairly and we may adjust the ruling as a result. Keep in mind however that repeat offences or cases where we have very clear proof of wrongdoing are less likely to see any change in ruling.

All information that relates to a case of rulebreaking should be posted in public, and we reserve the right to use and repost any relevant private messages that may be made available. We understand that sometimes the players involved may not agree with this but we believe it's better to have things out in the open rather than to hold discussions behind closed doors - we want to avoid inaccurate or incomplete reports that might lead to unfair rulings.
