Notes

Hyperbian Staff Guidelines:
It is your obligation as a staff member to follow all rules such as the players do and breaking/abusing will result in demotions and/or other consequences.

Any other situations that do not appear below are up to your understanding of leniency and how the server and players function. Good luck.

I. Chat Rules - if someone avoids the chat filter it will also result in a temp mute less than 10 min.
1. Spamming
- If a player is constantly spamming the chat with messages that may be repeated or not for the intention of getting attention or blowing up the chat will result in a warning to start. If the player continues they will receive a 2 minute mute. You will warn them in chat while muted that if they continue they will receive a temporary ban for 2 hours. If they continue when they return they will receive a 24 hour ban. If they continue after the 24 hour tempban they will be perm banned from the server and allowed to make an appeal on the forums
2. Racial/homophobic slurs towards other players or in general
- If a player uses terms such as the nigga it is acceptable as long as it is not used in a harmful/harsh manner. The word used to discriminate against black people is extremely offensive. Two letters make a huge difference in the meaning of the word. Calling people gay or faggots are alright if they are playful. (Note: We are a factions server and we must be lenient in almost every case) If they are directing these slurs towards players for the intent of disrespect you will follow this order: First warning, second mute for 2 minutes, third 2 hour tempban, Third 48 hour tempban, fourth perma ban.
3. Links in chat

Links not to be posting:
- other servers
- pornography links
- jump scares
- anything that isn't a picture or video, or link to Twitch/YouTube

-Since we have a plugin that blocks the ability to use links most people will avoid pasting links in general. Although if someone is posting harmful/threatening or inappropriate links with names in them that can be clearly seen they will receive a warning for their first attempt. Mute for 2 minutes on their second attempt. Tempban for 2 hours. Temp ban for 24 hours. No more than 24 hour ban for any cases involving posting links in chat. If they continue to post chats then post on forums and higher staff and owners will discuss the future for the player.
4. Death threats / posting Ip's of other players / DDOS Threats
- All threats relating towards Death, posting IP's or locations of other players and DDOS threats will be handled the following ways. Death threats will receive a warning first, second a mute for 10 minutes, third a tempban for 24 hours, and then a perm ban. Posting IP's or locations is a severe issue. if the player is joking around and giving false information you must warn them to stop regardless but no other steps taken. If the player is giving away information that is valid they must be muted for 10 minutes after being warned, then temp banned for 24 hours, then if they continue after ban they will be perm banned. DDOS threats will be handled by Vice (Themobster) you bring any information on legit and valid ddos threats to him. If a player is talking about threatening the server but is "joking" they must be warned that consequences for even attempting to DDOS results in your entire life being destroyed. (To make it simple for you).

II. Hacking
- No hacks or mods other than:
- optifine
- mini maps that do not show players/caves/ores
- damage indicators
- potion/armor hud
- full bright, max gamma


- Someone who accuses to hacking is not enough information for a ban. You must have video evidence of them committing a crime involving hacking. Pictures work for certain situations but if it is even debatable whether or not they are hacking they will be deemed innocent. All hacks that give an advantage to players will result in a perm ban. Xray, kill aura, etc. They can either apply for an unban or buy an unban from the shop. You must report every case of hacking on the forums. We cannot just trust your judgement. If you are unaware with how to record we will help you. Contact Felix_la_cat or any other staff member who has a recording software for free that you can download.


III. All scamming is allowed.

EXCEPT for donation scamming. EX: If a player offers you 200,000 in game money for you to upgrade his donation rank, you buy it and he does not give the money, he will be banned. OR revered, AKA, he gives you the money and you do not buy the upgrade, you will be banned.

You can serve as an intermediary for all trades. Meaning you can be the middle man and cannot scam other players. You as staff members may scam players out of deals but when serving as a middle man you cannot scam anyone.
