## Detailed Policy:

### 1.) **No Hacking or Cheating.**

	1. Duping
	2. Xray
	3. Flying
	4. Bug exploitation
	5. Glitch exploitation
	6. Bypassing AFK checks
	7. Intentionally causing lag
	8. Using a hacked or cracked client
* Any advantage gained by any of the above is subject to be removed

from the game or taken away by the staff. Which includes (but is not
limited to):

* Duped materials
* Stolen materials obtained through cheating
* Lag machines

* Any information on any bugs/glitches you find in game should be

reported to the staff immediately so that we might find a fix as quickly
 as possible.

* Distributing or publicly posting any information about the points listed above is not allowed.

### 2.) **No Alternate Accounts**

* Players found to be using alternate accounts will be banned.
* Players found to be breaking this rule will be permanently banned on all accounts.

### 3.) **No Harassment, Hate Speech, Doxxing or Personal Attacks.**

* Due to the nature of civ-style servers arguments and conflicts

between players can get pretty heated, however players are expected to
remain civil in their interactions with other players.

* Using or divulging personal information of another player without their consent is not allowed.
* Any action taken to negatively affect a player outside of the game is not allowed.
* Moderators will not intervene with interactions between players unless things are taken too far by either party.
* Players are encouraged to use /ignore and /ignoregroup to avoid interactions with players they dislike.
* Players should report continued harrassment to the moderators

whether it happens on the subreddit, through modmail, or in game,
through a support ticket.

* Players should send in evidence of harassment in a timely manner or their reports will be ignored.
* Any players engaging in continued harassment will be given a warning and subsequent bans after that.

### 4.) **No knowingly aiding other players in breaking/circumventing server rules.**

* Players found to be helping other players in an effort to break the rules will be banned based on the ban policy.
* Continued aiding of banned players will end with a ban similar to that of the players they helped.

### 5.) **No reinforced grief outside of vaults and bunkers or other military-only structures.**

* Spiking vaults in order to disable vaults is allowed.
* Interfering with other players bunkers and vaults is allowed and seen as a consequence of conflict.
* Players are expected to be proactive in the protection of their builds and claims.
* Players are not allowed to use reinforced blocks to grief other players.
* Moderators reserve the right to intervene in the event of extreme grief.

###

### 6.) **No paying with, accepting, or soliciting real money for ingame goods and services.**

* Any evidence should be sent to the staff through modmail / ticket

###

### **7.) No using server resources to maliciously advertise other minecraft servers, services or games.**

* Contact the staff if you want permission to do so.
* Don't assume we’ll allow it- ask us first!

## CivEx Moderation Policy

In an effort to better streamline the enforcement of the rules we have created the following moderator policy:

* All minor offenses will follow the following ban structure:
	+ 1st Offense: 1 Week Ban
	+ 2nd Offense: 2 Week Ban
	+ 3rd Offense: 1 Month Ban
	+ 4th Offense: Permanent with a chance of appeal
	+ 5th Offense after appeal: Permanent.
* We encourage all players to work with us to make their appeal process as smooth as possible.
	+ Being honest and helpful goes a long way to making the whole process much faster and smoother for anyone involved.
	+ Being confrontational and aggressive towards the staff will only end in a longer ban.
* In cases that a player acts against the health and best interest

of the server the staff reserve the right to remove them permanently
until such a time that the player is found to be fit to return.

* All bans will be handled through the ticket system.
* Moderators will not make posts or comment on the subreddit in threads about specific bans.
* All changes to the rules will be announced within 24 hours of the change being made.
* Changes to the rules are not retroactive and apply after the announcement of the change has been made.
* Players previously banned will not be unbanned due to retroactive changes in the rules.
