This page is part of the Rules and Policies of Cubic Worlds, covering:
Server Rules • Language Policy • Staff Code of Conduct • Courtroom Process |
Introduction
To ensure that the Members and Staffers of CW have the most information possible about our justice system, this post aims to set out the typical penalties for breaking server rules.
Below is a list of specific types of offence followed by a minimum and maximum ban length. However, this is only a guide, and exact punishments will depend on how serious a given case is.
Warnings, mutes, kicks, and bans
Staffers will always try to warn and potentially mute or kick an offender before a ban is finally made, at least where it's appropriate to do so. However, for crimes where a culprit is online and caught in the act - especially those involving griefing - we may skip the warning stage and go straight to the serious stuff.
The threat a criminal poses to other players is always our first concern, so in some cases, we reserve the right to ban a player without giving them a detailed explanation. Nevertheless, in all cases where ban has been made, a post will be made within the Courtroom forum, as per the server's Courtroom Process.
Typical ban lengths
| Chat offenses | |
|---|---|
| General chat spam | 1 day / 1 week |
| Advertising or spamming links | 1 day / 1 week |
| Posting links to inappropriate content | 1 day / 3 months |
| Arguing with one or more other players † | 1 day / 1 week (for all players directly involved) |
| Repeated public discussion of sensitive topics ‡ | 1 day / 1 week (for all players directly involved) |
| Repeatedly asking for promotion | 3 days / 1 week |
| Obscene chat or bad language | 3 days / 2 weeks |
| Posting racist or other hate-related chat | 2 weeks / 3 months |
| Harrasment | |
|---|---|
| Pestering staff to do something that violates the Staff Policy | 1 day / 1 week |
| Repeatedly killing others in PvP without permission | 1 week / 2 weeks |
| Using hidden traps to kill others | 1 week / 2 weeks |
| Harassing or bullying a player through in-game chat or elsewhere | 1 week / 1 month |
| Griefing | |
|---|---|
| Building inappropriate structures | 3 days / 2 weeks |
| Breaking and entering | 1 week |
| Theft of items or blocks | 1 week / 1 month |
| Deliberate damage to builds | 1 week / 2 months |
| X-raying | 2 months / 3 months |
| Hacking, cheating, or large-scale damage | 2 months / 6 months |
| Other offenses | |
|---|---|
| Repeatedly asking when the server is going to update Bukkit | 1 day / 3 days |
| Walking the line on any server rule or policy | 1 day / 1 week |
| Suggesting that marmots are not awesome | 1 second / 42 months |
Other considerations
Sometimes there can be factors which will influence the length of a ban. A repeat offender, for example, will get a longer ban than normal - though any ban's length may be reduced if staff agree that you have accepted your punishment gracefully and have made a genuine apology for your actions.
We use the table below as a guide for adjusting ban lengths.
