Discord Conduct
This section applies to all Discord related rules and policies.
Staff will have the final decision on whether to accept a report or not. Anyone who acts angrily, complains, or whines about action taken (or not taken) on a report is subject to the following possible punishments:
- Blacklisted from making new tickets
- Muted from sending messages
- Banned from the guild entirely
- Reporting a Player
- Retaliatory Reporting
- Complaining about Rule Violations
- Discouraging Reports & Witness Intimidation
- Respect & Professionalism
Reporting a Player
Players are responsible for reporting other players for rule violations. Video evidence is required, staff will close any reports that have insufficient evidence. We will not entertain any reports that have insufficient evidence. Videos cannot be edited, trimmed, or otherwise obfuscated to mask any rule violations committed by the reporting party.
Retaliatory Reporting
We will not accept reports that are made after someone (or their friend) is punished. Player reports must be issued in a timely manner, within 24 hours of the violation occurring. The staff team will have the final say on whether to accept any reports that exceed this time requirement.
Complaining about Rule Violations
Anyone who complains about a player or gang breaking rules in a public channel will receive a mute, timeout, or a guild ban. We don't care how annoyed, angry, or upset you are about another player or gang in-game -- either report them with the appropriate video evidence, or don't say anything at all. Nothing can be done if people complain in Discord without providing any actionable evidence.
Discouraging Reports & Witness Intimidation
Anyone who makes any comments, whether in the guild or in-game, about a report issued by another player will receive a permanent mute from the guild, or possibly a ban in-game.
This rule is in place to prevent players from discouraging others from issuing reports. We rely on player reports to address issues and remove problematic players. Anyone who tries to obstruct or degrade the effectiveness of this process is violating this rule.
This includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Calling someone or an entire gang a 'ticket warrior'
- Calling someone a snitch for reporting a rule violation
- Implying any in-game retaliation for reporting misconduct
- Bringing up the fact someone reported another player in-game
- Anything that would discourage people from reporting another player
Respect & Professionalism
Players who submit tickets are required to maintain a level of courtesy and professionalism towards the community moderators and staff team. We will not tolerate any disrespect, name-calling, or any hostility in the tickets.
