You may have noticed one of two chat bans lingering around... so I thought it was needed a explanation. The new discipline system is much different than the old one that Douglas had in place. Keep in mind the new system is certainly lenient compared to Doug's, and definitely lenient when compared to your local school district.

A violation of EULA will usually result in a few warnings and then temporary blocks, but in the situation where the case is severe enough (such as threatening), will get you blocked immediately. More general violations will have warnings. Here's how the system on those work:

1st Offense- Warning 2nd Offense- Warning 3rd Offense- 2hr Block from either Chat or Game, depending on where the violation occurs. 4th Offense- 1 Day Block from either Chat or Game, Depending on where the violation occurs. 5th Offense- 2 Day Block from either Chat or Game, depending on where the violation occurs. 6th Offense- 7 Day Block from either Chat or Game, depending on where violation occurs. Also, your on VERY thin ice if you reach this. 7th Offense- *Permanent Block from either Chat or Game, depending on where violation takes place.


 * If you express regret after the 7th warning, your punishment may be reduced, but will still be longer than 7 Days.

8th Offense**- Permanent Block with no chance of unban.


 * Only used after 7th offense results in unban due to regret.

If you are someone with the power to unban yourself, keep in mind this is Defiance of Authority, which also violates EULA and will raise the punishment you receive by one level.

Example: I spam 5 times, and receive a 2 day block but unban myself. It becomes a 7 Day Block instead of a 2 Day block.
