PurityCraft Rules Section:
Stability within the PurityCraft community is achieved through the numerous rules governing how one should conduct themselves and the punishment of those who fail to follow them.
Punishments:
• Lv.0 : written warnings and player kicks. Written warnings are given to players whose infractions are deemed minimally severe but still need to be addressed as being negative–they are typically spoken in chat via /msg or sent via /mail. Player kicks are brief, forceful disconnections from the server often due to chat disruptions. Kicked players may rejoin the server seconds after they are kicked. The reason for the kick will be stated in the kick message. The kick itself is viewed as a warning against further infractions of a similar nature.
• Lv.1 : mutes (temp-mute/mute/softmute) and temporary bans (temp-ban). Mutes are given to players when they have accumulated numerous warning or kicks against chat disruptions, or 3rd party players who have requested staff to unban friends for any reason. Mutes are often set to last between 10 – 15 minutes, after which players may chat again. Temporary bans are prolonged disconnections from the server given to players whose actions deserve a punishment but not the the degree that require Lv. 2 punishments. A temporary ban does not require that the banned player make a ban appeal, as their ban will be lifted after a certain time period has been met. Attempting to appeal a temporary ban may be denied at staff's discretion.
• Lv.2 : bans and permanent bans (perma-ban). Bans are given to players who have engaged in a serious breach of the server’s rules or when players use alternate accounts to evade previous bans. A ban will remain in effect until the offender submits a correctly formatted ban appeal on the server forums and the server’s staff accepts this appeal. A permanent ban is given to repeat offenders who broke the server’s rules on multiple occasions, or given to people whose actions were deemed extremely damaging to the server as a whole. After 2 – 3 repeated and appealed bans, staff members will institute a permanent ban on an account, as it shows an inability to follow the rules. Usually*, a permanent-ban will not be considered even if the offender submits an appeal. (in some cases, permanent bans have been appealed but are very, very difficult to even be considered for fairness' sake)
• Lv.3 : Internet Protocol Ban (IP ban). This punishment is reserved for repeat offenders who use alternate accounts, players who have engaged in cheating on the server, or placed on top of some permanent bans in some instances. This ban denies access to the server from a player’s electronic device through their Internet service provider.
Server Rules:
1: On Griefing – Punishment: Lv. 1 – 3
A. Do not modify any build that is not yours without the permission of the build owner. This includes the addition or subtraction of any gameplay element from one’s build, such as: blocks, crops, items, animals, NPCs, etc.
B. Even if a build appears abandoned, is abandoned, or is griefed already, one does not have the right to grief it.
C. Do not lie about being griefed or attempt to frame someone for griefing.
2: Chat Etiquette – Punishment: Lv. 0 – 3
A. Be respectful to others at all times. General disrespect, racism, sexism, etc. towards any person, group, organization, or creed will not be tolerated.
B. Profanity is tolerated but not when directed at other people.
C. Do not give players answers to the tutorial questions.
D. Do not be annoying in chat.
E. Do not welcome newcomers with a rude or gross comment. For example: “Whalecum” instead of “Welcome”.
F. No IP-advertising.
f1. Advertising other Minecraft servers in HomeTown's chat will result in a permanent IP-ban.
f2. Any player/s caught IP-advertising the PurityCraft IP address on another server will be IP-banned on the PurityCraft server.
G. Do not type in excessive all-caps and do not spam.
g1. The limit on caps lock is 4 words or 15 letters.
g2. Spam is sending the same message multiple times within one minute, typing too many lines of gibberish into chat, unsolicited song lyrics, or sending repeated teleport requests when denied or asked to stop. The server definition of spam is outside of any dictionary definition; do not argue with staff over this.
H. No doxing players. Offenders will be punished at the staff-team's discretion. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing )
I. Do not ask staff to unban a player for any reason. Banned players have to make a proper appeal on the HomeTown forums. Repeated requests of this nature may be punished under rule 2A and 2D of chat etiquette.
J. Staff-members are not obligated to disclose information regarding the details of a player’s ban. Repeated, unwanted requests for disclosure of details may be punished under rule 2A and 2D of chat etiquette.
K. Do not post pornographic or adult website URLs in chat.
L. Do not request undeserved ranks or items to be spawned in.
3: Build Etiquette – Punishment: Lv. 0 – 3
A. Do not build death traps to kill other players.
B. Do not build within 100 blocks of other people without their consent. The original claim owners maintain the right to have encroaching builds removed and the offending player/s to relocate.
C. If you use 1x1 towers, be sure to tear it down when you’re done; the same goes for temporary shelters.
D. If you build something of a sensitive nature, make sure it is hidden where others will not see it. For example: Nazi swastikas, jerking-off statues, racially stereotypical builds, etc. (Yes, these have happened.) Failure to do so will result in an appropriate punishment at the staff-team discretion.
4: About Cheating – Punishment: Lv. 2 & 3
A. The use of x-raying, orefinder, etc. is not allowed. These include hacking or using resource packs.
B. Use of duplication exploits is not allowed. Report any you find to a staff member immediately.
C. The use of server glitches to alter one's gamemode or receive personal gain is not allowed.
5: Miscellaneous – Punishment: Lv. 0 – 3
A. Players maintain the right to ask trespassers to leave their property for any reason at any time. Frequent, repeat trespassers will be dealt with appropriately.
B. Player-killing outside of PvP arenas is not allowed on this server.
C. Do not use alt accounts to circumvent bans.
D. The use of alt accounts to increase one's financial standing on the server is prohibited and will be punished at staff's discretion.
E. Do not generate lag.
e1: Do not leave redstone clocks running when not in use.
e2: Do not go over /speed 5, as it loads too many chunks in and causes lag.
F. Do not threaten other players in any form.
