V. Consequences
Fatalx operates a warning system, this excludes in-game blackmarks. Users will be warned to a maximum -5(50%) points for any and all offences. If the warn rises to -5(50%) points, a temporary ban will be put in place for 1 to 7 days. Staff reserves the right to permenetly ban members on a staff discussion basis, this excludes Patrick, Mark, NickAlec, or other undisclosed founders.
Arguing with staff after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes, a temporary ban will be put into place as above.
Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact the relevant staff member, e.g. if warned by a moderator you should contact an administrator. If they feel you were treated badly they remove a warning. If you feel their decision is also unfair you may contact a Founder. Founder's decisions are final.
Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban will lead to that ban being made permanent. Circumvention includes re-registering under a non-banned username, changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban, registering a new email account to evade an email ban; circumvention also includes posting as an anonymous user.
Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them. While staff may consider lifting permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurrence.
We reserve the right to modify these rules at anytime, without notice.
