Rules

***Not reading the rules doesn't exempt you from their consequences. Read them with attention.***

### Social Credit System

Mediterranea uses the Points System to determine the intensity and duration of punishments, as well as giving second-opportunities and judging players.

It is important to maintain a clean Social Score because:

* Staff will trust you more when you make reports. This means being more likely to be heard.
* Entering Staff requires a positive Social Score. No exceptions made.
* You will be given more opportunities and will be less likely to get banned if you make mistakes.
* You have more chances to get away from a report someone makes against you if you have a positive Social Score.
* There are certain events that give items and loot for positive Social Score players.

How to increase Social Score?

* Be kind with other players. Offer help when needed. Staff will notice it and increase your score.
* Be calm and don't cause trouble. Neutral Score is not bad, and will not exempt you from benefits.
* Make alliances and stick to them. Play by the rules in war and conquest and your score will increase.
* Successful reports, even if you are not affected, will increase your score **as long as the reports are true.** Otherwise your score will be lowered.
* Every two weeks there is a global Score Increase. This means more opportunities for people who have it negative or neutral.

How is Social Score decreased?

* Breaking the rules will always decrease Social Score in some form or another. Some rules decrease it more, and some rules will always mean a blacklist.
* Toxicity will lower your score. If you are toxic too frecuently, this will mean a ban due to many negative points.
* False reports, appeals and abusing the Staff Ticket System will decrease your score.
* Each time you break a rule, the lowered score **will decrease exponentially. For example: You advertise a nation in the wrong discord channel for the first time, you will be lowered 1 Social Score. The second time, you will be lowered 2 points, the third time, 4 points, and so on.**
