Rules

Cloudcraft Rules

We want every new player and existing player's experience on the server to be the best it can be, and to do this we must create rules to maintain the server structure and authority.

Ingame Rules ~ Discord Rules ~ Forum Rules

INGAME RULES

The ingame rules are split into three categories:
Chat Offenses ~ Offenses that occur in public or private chat.
Gameplay Offenses ~ Offenses that occur while ingame or an action a player does.
Miscellaneous Offenses ~ Anything that doesn't fall under the Chat or Gameplay Offenses.

If a player does commit an offense on Cloudcraft, there are 5 different punishments a player may experience:
Chat Offenses: Temporary Mute, Permanent Mute
Gameplay Offenses: Temporary Ban, Permanent Ban
Miscellaneous Offenses: Revokment*, Permanent Ban, Blacklist, IP-Ban
*Revokements are a temporary restriction of using a feature of the server or a command.

The rules are categorized by three different severity punishment durations. (seperate for each offense)

Offense Category	Severity One	Severity Two	Severity Three
Chat Offenses	5 hour mute*	12 hour mute	Permanent Mute
Gameplay Offenses	1-day ban	14-day ban	30-day ban
Miscellaneous Offenses	--	--	--

*All Severity One Chat Offenses require a warning before the punishment listed in the table.

Punishments can be appealed here.
