# Broadview Moderation Severity This document shall outline all of the rules and guidelines pertaining to in-game roleplay conduct, along with providing proper moderation punishments for players. # Utilization of Warnings Warnings should be utilized before straight up banning individuals. These can be done by using kicks. Warnings should always be considered before a ban, and if players were warned beforehand regarding a current situation, then players would be banned accordingly. # Ban Lengths Ban lengths should be consistent across the board. It's important that moderators enact bans with lengths that are consistent to every player, so that every player gets a similar treatment across the board. With that being said, the standard ban length should be a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 14 days depending on the *severity* of the player's actions. ## 1 Day Bans One day bans consist of minor things that do not adversely affect other players like the following: * 1a. In-Character violation / 1b. In-Character violation * 2a. Leaving during roleplay and rejoining. * 2b. Suicide during roleplay. * 3b. Remembering enemies after dying. * 3c. Non-violent returns to scene of death. * 3d. Non-violent returns to same roleplay situations. * 4a/4b/4c/4d. Roleplay Restrictions * :::danger It should be noted that you must **warn someone before you ban for any of the above.** ::: ## 3 Day Bans Three day bans consist of more major situations that can adversely affect other players such as: * Any of the previous 1 Day Bans (repeated occurrence) * Violent NLR violations (killing or causing damage) * Violent crime on civilian jobs * Initiation / RDM violations that cause less than 300 dollars worth of damages. * Leaving to avoid action / resetting to avoid action. * Glitching through jail cells (to obstruct officers) :::warning It is moderator discretion to **warn or ban for these situations.** ::: # Permanent Most permanent bans do not require warnings as they are likely intentional. Permanent bans should only be given for the following: * Any of the previous 3 Day Bans (on 3rd occurrence) * Exploiting * Mass RDM / "Rogue" * Dealing department / job items. * Blowing up vehicles with no apparent reason * Clearly negligent and bad-mannered things * Glitching to gain unfair access / advantage * Alternative accounts * Document destruction (defacing documents)
