I made this as a guide to all staff members on rules, and punishments.

This will
include rules, punishments and staff guidelines.
To All New Staff Members:
Every staff receives hate. Please do not let this get to you. If you feel like it's much
too excessive, please feel free to talk to me or any other staff. We are all friendly
and willing to talk. If you record a hacker, please upload it to Youtube and post the
link in the staff chat for another staff member to pick up the ban. If you catch
someone advertising, please just screenshot their message and post it in the Skype
Staff Team Chat. You will receive status on both the TeamSpeak and the Forums
along with your promotion. Something that has been happening with some of the
other staff if someone says that you are not a "Staff Member" just remember this.
You are a valuable part to the staff team and you help keep the server going. You
are a staff member. One more thing before we send you off on your new exciting
journey, please be respectful and humble. Please do not be rude to the players of
the server. Please do not think of yourself as better than them. You are more like a
parent than a king. You nurture and help other players, not command them. Well,
that pretty much sums everything up! You're ready to head out on your exciting new
journey! Good luck and Have Fun!

3.) Promotions and Demotions

Like all servers, our staff team runs by a promotion by effort system. The harder you
work the easier it will be for you to be promoted. However, we dont like our
members only working hard to be promoted, you should be doing it for the
betterment of the server, not your rank. To better your chances follow these
suggestions:
Dont ask about your promotion
Be active on the server and forums
Fulfill your duties
Outstanding deeds
Sometimes, we need to demote staff members. Usually its because we decide that
they should no longer be staff because of things they did (or did not) do. The most
common reasons for demotions are
- Abusing commands and privileges
- Going inactive without first notifying the staff teams
- Being rude or disrespectfuls

4.) Proper Staff Protocol

A. Forums
Do not post on hacking reports unless youre accepting the report. You may
talk about it in staff chat and say your opinions however it does not look good
when half the staff agree that hes hacking and the other half do not
Do not post on staff applications, if you have a recommendation/words to say,
say it to the administrator dealing with applications
Do not tag other staff members, especially the owner, you have access to our
skype, use it!
Do not flame, harass or be unprofessional on the forums as this will affect our
image
B. In-Game
If any situation comes out of control you can always contact someone above
you. Were here to work as a team thus we should all communicate
Dont break any rules that normal players must follow
Act professional and use proper grammar
Respect other players and staff
Respect the chain of command (rank hierarchy)
Use staff chat to communicate with staff quickly
Dont scam
Dont go AFK, leave the server
Dont repeat what other staff members say, this causes spam
Dont ban players whore sending IPs to friends
