🪦 Public Ban Thread (Discipline Process) ⚖️

[DM Maleficent's Kiss]

Disciplinary Process

For the sake of transparency with the community our disciplinary process involves 3 strikes.

(1. Official Warning
(2. Final Warning
(3. Permanent Ban


When a player receives a warning(friendly or official) a thread will be started on the DM forums documenting the incident, interaction(including chat log or screen caps) and the reason the warning was given. We document this so that our entire team is aware of what's going on and what has been discussed with the player in question.

DM's always reserve the right on an individual level to give friendly warnings as a means of help and guidance that will not serve as an initiation of this disciplinary process. A DM may in some situations use other forms of correction such as gold, xp, or item removal in the case of ill gotten gains(farming or breaking the 7 day rule for instance) in conjunction with an official warning. DM's may choose to temporarily boot a particularly disruptive player, teleport them to a closed off isolated area, or even initiate a temporary ban until next server reset if necessary.

As far as official warnings are concerned, individual warnings will drop off after 6 months time. This is to prevent a persons past from being held against them indefinitely after they've been warned and corrected the behavior. At the same time an established history of repeated poor behavior and taking advantage of this will lead to a ban.

We will always be patient with people who are genuinely trying to do their best and have fun on FRC; we don't follow people around endlessly waiting for mistakes or looking to badger people. It is our desire to treat everyone here like an adult but our tolerance level for nonsense, policing, and sabotage of other players time when we have to deal with problems is minimal at best. Please keep in mind that those with a continual disregard for other players enjoyment, server rules, spirit of the rules, and those who encourage others to have the same disregard, will no longer be welcome on FRC.

Also for transparency some more recent and all future bans will be listed in this thread below along with the reason(s) for such. To note, previous bans from years past prior to the team deciding to make this public information will not be added retroactively.
