Moderation

Purpose: Behavior correction and minor rule slip-ups—not punishment.

Triggers: First-time misposts, light tone issues, minor unsolicited DM reports, or gentle rule slip-ups.

Procedure: Assess calmly → Issue warning → Send a brief public or DM explanation.

Command: /warn <user> <reason>

Purpose: Temporarily restrict messaging to de-escalate active tension.

Triggers: Heated arguments, spam, derailing chat, emotional spiraling, or ignoring staff prompts.

Durations:

• 10m–30m: Light chat tension or minor derailment.

• 1h–4h: Heated arguments, disrespect, or persistent disruption.

• 6h–12h: Major public escalation or repeated post-warning issues.

Commands:

• Apply: /mute add <user> <duration> <reason>

• Early Lift: /mute remove <user> (if user apologizes or situation cools)

Purpose: Immediate server removal when a user needs a reset, but a ban is too severe. Rejoin allowed.

Triggers: Abandoned/refused age verification, suspicious unverified accounts, persistent disruption after a timeout, or needing space beyond a mute.

Repeat Offenses: If a kicked member rejoins and continues disrupting, escalate to a ban immediately.

Command: /kick <user> <reason>

Purpose: Permanent or temporary removal for dangerous, malicious, or ToS-violating behavior.

Immediate Perma-Ban Triggers: Underage claims/suspicion, non-consensual media, doxxing/PII leaks, slurs/hate speech, threats, or alt evasion.

Temp-Ban Triggers (1d, 3d, 7d, 30d): Forced breaks for non-malicious meltdowns or severe repeated drama.

Public Protocol: Never debate bans in public chat. Direct appeals to the external Moderation Appeal form.

Commands:

• Permanent: /ban add <user> <reason>

• Temporary: /ban temp <user> <duration> <reason>

• Unban: /ban remove <user> (Admin approval required)
