Warning System

With this warning system we will be cracking down on rules that are broken. We will no longer tolerate what we have in the past so that we can be more fair to everyone.

* Unofficial Warning: This is an unofficial warning for you to stop what you're doing.
* Warning 1: A simple warning not to do what you were given a warning for again. Nothing will come of this. (typically minor offenses)
* Warning 2: Staff will be keeping an eye on you and depending on what your offense is you will be banned from adopts/purchasing grans temporarily. (typically major offenses or many minor offenses)
* Warning 3: Temporary Kick (first time getting to 3) or Permanent Ban (second time getting to 3) (typically many minor and major offenses or an instant ban offence)

## Offenses

We will be considering each report and categorizing them in the following way so that we know how to properly give out warnings and strikes.

Keep in mind that all of these offenses will only result in any form of warning if they are repeat offenses, meaning they happen multiple times after we give you unofficial warnings and small reminders.

* Minor Offenses (These might not result in official warnings if they are first offense)
	+ Putting things in the wrong chat consistently
	+ First offense advertising
	+ Talking about real-world problems/politics/financial issues
	+ Adding your gran to the wiki yourself
	+ Bringing up issues with other members of staff after having already spoken to another member of staff, especially if said staff member you are speaking to secondly is on public hiatus
	+ Acting out when your MYO design or Adult Lines were declined by Bee or another Admin
	+ Complaining when a Wiki Team Member asks you to change something in your gran's bio
	+ Calling dibs on grans on the off chance the owner decides to sell it
	+ Putting down another member, publicly or privately
	+ Complaining about losing an auction/raffle
	+ Discouraging others from bidding
	+ Randomly approaching other members to ask to breed their gran who is not up to stud, especially when the gran is not yet up  on the wiki
* Major Offenses (These absolutely will result in warnings/strikes or the adding of a role that prevents you from accessing any channels that aren't the rules and other important chats)
	+ Not listening to staff when they tell you to stop in chats
	+ Disrespecting staff or other members
	+ Backing out of multiple (more than 4 in a row) purchases with Bee
	+ Selling grans for more than they're worth/allowed to be resold for/when they are not allowed to be sold
	+ Harassing members for any reason
	+ Spreading rumors or gossiping about anyone/thing
	+ Using one or more grans in a breeding without permission from their owners
	+ Prejudicial/stereotyped/racist/etc comments
	+ Discussing your lack of grans funds or begging people to buy your commissions/for money in general
* Instant Ban (These will only be given out when the situation demands it)
	+ DOXing members
	+ Posting NSFW advertisements without warning in any chats
	+ Screaming in any chats for any reason after staff has told you to stop and take it up with them in private
	+ Targeting another member via hate art/stories/other malicious intent

## Complaints About Staff

We're all human. We know there will be complaints about any one of our staff team. If you have any grievances with any member of staff please do the following.

* Helpers
	+ If it's a helper then speak to any admin
* Admins
	+ If it's an admin speak to another admin that is not the one you have issues with or Bee herself

## Keep in Mind

* We cannot do anything without proof. If you refuse to give us proof we will have to assume you are simply wasting our time and will be given a Minor Offense warning. If this continues to happen you will be given a Major Offense warning on top of it.
* If you would like to remain anonymous and not have any staff know who is reporting the issue please feel free to use the anonymous report system we have in place.

* If you would like someone to Mediate an issue before it gets out of hand we are also here for that to play the middle man before it gets to you guys, especially if it's something small and simple
* As time goes on with no additional warnings given your warning level will decrease. These will happen in 3 month intervals.
* We will be implementing the use of the Ezabi (Unbelievaboat) bot to keep track of warnings given from here on.
* You may still have characters that have a non-inclusive mindset but keep in mind that you must not have that character target characters belonging to one specific member
* There is a difference between someone wishing to buy a gran for someone else and someone begging for a gran to be purchased for them.
* If you use racial slurs/insults or make racist/phobic comments the staff team will determine if it falls under a Major Offence or Instant Ban
* You may still ask the chance to be sold cubs that were bred from your gran first, but this is the only exception to that rule.
