Guidelines for Moderation
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2022 10:35 am
The following should be understood as a how-to-guide for moderators but not as strong and fixed rules. A moderator should decide depending on actual situation.
- If you yourself got into trouble with a player, don't take moderation actions. Ask another moderator to solve this.
- Don't use your privileges to gain personal advantage.
- Use actions in increasing seriousness: start with warnings in normal chat, then use windowed PM, kick for this match, for multiple matches, some days. A permanent ban should be the last option.
- In case of a player's SHOUTING, chat spamming, using really dirty or unlawful speech: first ask him to not spam the chat/keep writing in small letters (UPPER CASE is felt like shouting). If he continues, send him a windowed PM. If he continues, mute him.
- Concerning bad team behaviour (intentional team shooting, putting foreign xlocs into harmful environments (lava), running in front of weapons, taking ALL goodies, rushing, …): warn a player to team play or he may be banned otherwise.
