Official Handbook Overview | Project 8
This handbook outlines the rules and regulations within the PROJECT-8 community, both in-game and outside of the game, that help us achieve an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all players. By participating in our community, you agree to abide by these rules. Failure to follow the rules will result in warnings, temporary mutes/bans, unwaves, or permanent bans from the game and any associated server.
Punishments
[ 1.1 ] Warning System
Warnings are considered the least severe out of all the punishments. They are issued by members of staff to players that commit minor infractions within the community. After 30 days of the warning being issued, you are able to make a staff ticket to request that the warning be removed.
If you believe that the warning issued to you was unfair, you are permitted to make a staff ticket to appeal the warning. If your appeal is rejected, you may not request another appeal.
A max of three warnings can be issued every month before it results in harsher punishment.
[ 1.2 ] Ban Appeals
If you are banned from Project-8 and your ban is appealable, you are able to make a staff ticket where you will be provided a format to follow for appealing. Below is Project 8’s support server; you’ll be able to make a ticket here to appeal.
