Divine’s SCP:F | Community Rules
Our rules set forth here are to ensure the safety of all players and maintain a fun, welcoming environment. Our policies are formed around the principle of common sense, ensuring that a conscious decision must be made in order to violate these rules.
This will outline our policies and our principles, which will be enforced through our Moderation team and Support Staff.
Other things, such as how we may operate ban appeals and reports, will additionally be provided.
Moderators and other respective staff, such as Development Staff, are given full permission to ban or kick players from their server without repercussion. These are not moderations and do not block you from playing the game, thus, these actions are non-abusive. They also have full permission to use all other commands or privileges they gain access to on other players, of which we specifically are referencing watching, teleporting, or anything similar.
Section 1 - Punishments
| Punishment | Description |
|---|---|
| Warning | Warnings are taken as a base-level punishment for relatively minor or minor infractions. These stick to your account for 30 days. |
| Account Suspension / Ban | These stick to your account 90 days before expiring. Account suspensions are undefined in their maximum time and are used to prevent you from accessing the game for a period of time. |
| Account Termination / Permban | This is the final stage in escalation and never expires. These are used in the event a severe infraction is committed and the offending user needs to be indefinitely banned from the game. |

Section 3 - Policies
Bug Policy
When you encounter a bug, it may come in a variety of different manners. As a general rule of thumb, we ask that you do not abuse any bugs you come across.
If a bug you encounter causes unexpected gains on any statistic, or any unexpected losses, so long as the bug does not have to be caused and you have not exploited the aforementioned bug, you will be permitted to keep all benefits.
Likewise, any bugs that cause losses are not required to be reverted by us.
Informing others on how to abuse a bug or abusing a bug will result in punishment.
Section 4 - Ban Appeals
Every player is given a chance to appeal their ban when banned. This comes with its limitations, however, as we have a required cooldown period and not all bans are allowed to be appealed.
Second Chances
We believe in second chances. As such, after a 3 day cooldown period you may submit a “second chance” appeal. You can submit them on our Discord server.
False Bans
We understand that staff may occasionally make a mistake and submit a false ban. In the case that this does occur, you may open an appeal to have this revoked. Please have evidence to prove your innocence ready and answer the questions Support asks you to the best of your ability.
Section 5 - Reports
We handle reports on an after-the-fact basis. Occasionally we may handle them during the time they occur, assuming a Moderator is already on the server or has been contacted to join a specific server.
Reports are handled by Support Staff on our Discord Server. Provided substantial evidence is given (videos are most preferable. Provide evidence according to the set method) action will be taken against the offender.
Submitting a report that is false, just to troll, or anything else that wastes our time will have your account banned from submitting any more reports. Escalation can be done.
Section 6 - Escalations & History
The following are the lists of escalations that can occur from gathering too many moderations on your account. These are based on history collected onto your account after a punishment.
Active Warning - An active warning is a warning yet to expire on your account. Takes 30 days to expire.
Ban History - Each ban sticks to your account for 90 days after it’s expiration.
Having too many punishments within the specified threshold above for each of the respective punishments will escalate it to a higher level.
| Threshold | Penalty |
|---|---|
| 5 Active Warnings | 3 Day Ban |
| 10 Active Warnings | 14 Day Ban |
| 5 Bans | Account Termination |
