Spoiler: Staff permissions
Toggle Spoiler

{1} Moderators have the power and permission to warn, or ban anyone at anytime when the rules are broken. If you feel this was abused, contact an administrator on the site via Private Messaging. Although moderators have this power, the warning or ban will be revered if deemed unfit by higher authority.

{2} All bans require proof and a current administrator must have seen proof for a ban to be held. No proof has to be shown to a banned user, however.

{3} The administration will ban any users who dispute donations.

{4} The infraction/ ban reason used may not be relational to your offense if a moderator feels a different punishment is more suitable.

{5} Staff members are able to match users to accounts on both, the servers and forums using IP addresses.

{6} Staff members have the right to kick, temp ban, ban, or warn a user if they feel threatened by a user or cannot perform their job to the best of their abilities based on a user's behavior.

{7} Staff members have the right to deny assistance to any user when deemed necessary.

Spoiler: Infractions and stuff
Toggle Spoiler

Forum rules: 1. Minor Warning

Posting in the wrong section could result in the removal of the topic, an infraction to the author of said topic and for repeat offenses a ban may be instated on the offenders account.

Not reading announcements. The announcements the rule refers to include any content posted by ex-staff or staff on the forums that is A) Pinned B) Within the announcement board C) Announced above forum sections

Unnecessary post includes posts that do not contribute to the content the thread it is posted in. If staff believe the post is reasonable you will not receive any punishment.

2. Warning
Inappropriate behavior refers to any behavior that shows any intolerance towards race, disability, sexual orientation, religion and belief or inflammatory comments directed at other members.

Profile violation refers to the use of inappropriate content within either of the following A) Avatar B) Signature C) 'About me' D) 'Website E) 'Location'. If staff believe the content is reasonable you will not receive any punishment. Inappropriate content is defined as anything that violates the rules which includes but is not limited to pornographic, intolerant or unlawful content.

Spam includes any posts that are meaningless, off topic or used to farm post count. Spam, much like unnecessary posts are subject to staff opinion and will only be removed if seen unfit by staff. Spam only occurs if multiple instances of the same or similar posts are created. Staff discretion is used when differentiating spam from mass spam.

Bumping a thread older than 30 days is classified as spam. If the response is not deemed necessary and would require a new thread to be started you will receive an infraction for gravedigging/necroposting.

Repeat level 1 offences can be seen and enforced as though it/they were a level 2 infraction.

3. Minor Offenses
Posting in Ban Appeals, Reports, or Help when not directly involved or adding evidence.

Repeat level 2 offences can be seen and enforced as though it/they were a level 3 infraction.

4. Offences
Illegal content refers to real world laws, please note different States/Countries/Cities have different laws. This rule is not checked against any specific zones and staff discretion applies. If you have doubts about content then please contact a staff member. Furthermore, Skyblock classes pornographic content as illegal content and will punish for it as such. Illegal content can also be enforced where the content only borders being illegal.

Mass spam is the same content as spam (see section 2) however on a larger scale. Again, staff discretion is used when differentiating spam from mass spam. If the spam contains content that violates other rules you can be infracted for both offences and serve a longer punishment.
Repeat level 3 offenses can be seen and enforced as though it/they were a level 4 infraction.

5. Major Offenses
Hacking refers to the act of gaining unauthorized access to another members account, computer or other intellectual property . Please note we understand things such as gaming accounts technically do not belong to the user however when enforcing this rule it is seen as theirs.

Ban evading refers to the act of creating another forum account or using an alternate minecraft account when you have one already banned.

Account Sharing refers to the act of allowing other users to use your account. This is an offense for both the user allowing it and the user doing it. If access is granted for special reasoning by an administrator the user must not send any messages from that account nor create any content.

Multiple accounts are not allowed by any user. (Exception: Creation of a ban appeal account is allowed as long as the account is strictly used for the ban appeal.) However, if you have other family members wishing to create a forum account please do so and contact a staff member immediately. Please note that if a family member becomes permanently banned, all family members are then banned until the issue is resolved.

Posting users personal information. Skyblock recognizes the majority of users real life information is available online however making it available on Skyblock is an offense. Depending on the severity of the situation this can be worthy of a permanent ban.

Advertising refers to posting an external link. External links are allowed within reason, sites such as personal sites or a friends site is advertising. Furthermore, logos or images or mentions about such website even without an actual link is deemed advertising. This includes posts, topic titles, avatars, signatures, topics and private messages (if done for direct advertisement purposes).

I'm going to rewrite the rules as soon as I have time. I'm currently taking 18 credit hours this semester. This leaves no time for me to do things like this but ill try to make time soon.
