Rules Violations

[Dave Baughman]

In the event of a forum rules violation, the administrative staff will take the following actions. In general, the staff will follow these steps in order, but reserve the right to immediately escalate to a higher level in the case of serious violations.


Step 1: Informal Warning - a staff member will counsel the violator in a private message regarding the rules violation.

Step 2: Formal Written Warning - a staff member will describe (in a private message) the specific violation and outline the penalties of any further noncompliance.

Step 3: 72 hour cooldown - as step 2, but the violator's ability to post or send private messages will be revoked for 72 hours.

Step 4: 30 day ban - the violator is banned for 30 days.

Step 5: indefinite ban - the violator will not be able to access the INTELSER forums until the adminstrative staff are satisfied that the user will comply with the forum rules.

Reaching steps 4-5 are, at the discretion of each game's GMs, grounds for removal of a player from a faction leader position.
