My suggestion is to add examples of when you can actually report someone, currently I feel like there's quite some confusion about when exactly you're able to report someone and when this player should get a mute. Most of these rules state that you have to warn the player at least 2 times, does this mean that you can report him directly after you've warned him twice? Or does this mean that he has to do it once more after your second warning? I really feel like this should be cleared up, as I've seen some staff members accept reports that have two warnings and the player stops after the second warning, but I've also seen some staff members reject these reports.
I've most of the guidelines and I'll edit them to how I think it should be, also I feel like if someone reports a team-killer, with evidence that clearly shows that the player is purposely trying to kill his team, he should be banned without any warnings. If someone accidently places lava on their team I feel like one warning should be enough, and then if the person does it a second time he should get punished. After you've been warned not to kill your team with for example lava you should probably just put your lava away, so I feel like one warning is more than enough, unless the evidence shows that the person is purposely doing it of course. It would also be really neat to see the actual punishments of breaking these rules in the guidelines.
Advertising an IP, YouTube and Twitch links - All but server advertising requires at least 2 warnings and screenshots.
We do not allow players to advertise on our server. While advertising a server does not require any warnings, advertising Youtube/Twitch links requires at least 2 warnings if repeated more than once in a hour.
Example of when you are able to report advertisers (Requires unedited/uncropped screenshots):
|Stone| Player1: Hey everyone, please come and join my stream/watch my new video *inserts link*.
[Mod] Mod1: Hey Player1, please stop advertising your Twitch/YouTube. (1/2)
|Stone| Player1: Hey everyone, please come and join my stream/watch my new video *inserts link*.
[Mod] Mod1: Hey Player1, please stop advertising your Twitch/YouTube. (2/2)
|Stone| Player1: Hey everyone, please come and join my stream/watch my new video *inserts link*.
Now you're able to report Player1 for advertising.
Cussing, spamming or using any kind of offensive language - All of those require at least 2 warnings and screenshots.
If you see someone doing one of the above, you must warn them by mentioning their name and telling them to stop at least 2 times.
Example of when you are able to report spammers (Requires unedited/uncropped screenshots):
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
[Mod] Mod1: Hey Player1, please stop spamming. (1/2)
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
[Mod] Mod1: Hey Player1, please stop spamming. (2/2)
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
|Stone| Player1: Spam spam spam
Now you're able to report Player1 for spamming, the same format counts for warning/reporting players who use inappropriate language, they don't have to spam their inappropriate language though.
Team-killing/trolling and cross-teaming - All of those require at least 2 warnings and video evidence.
While playing with a player that did one of the above, you should warn them twice before reporting.
Example of when you are able to report team-killers/trollers and cross-teamers (Requires video evidence):
*Player1 is teaming with Player2 whilst they're not on the same team*
|Obsidian| Player3: Hey player1 and player2, please stop cross teaming.
*After a couple of minutes Player1 and Player2 are still teaming*
|Obsidian| Player3: Hey player1 and player2, please stop cross teaming.
*After another couple of minutes Player1 and Player2 haven't stopped teaming*
Now you're able to report Player1 and Player2 for cross-teaming, if the video is long be sure to include times where you warn them. The same format counts for warning/reporting team-killers/trollers.
Camping (Skybases in: Lucky islands & solo/team SkyWars) - Requires at least 2 warnings and video evidence.
If someone is camping in a sky base, you must warn them by mentioning their name and telling them to stop at least 2-3 times.
Example of when you are able to report campers (Requires video evidence):
*Player1 and Player2 are camping inside a sky base, making it really difficult for other players to kill them*
|Diamond| Player3: Player1 and Player2, please stop camping in a sky base, it's against the rules and if you continue to do so you might get punished.
*Player3 waits a couple of minutes to see if they stop camping*
*Player1 and Player2 continue to camp inside their sky base*
|Diamond| Player3: Player1 and Player2, please stop camping in a sky base, it's against the rules and if you continue to do so you will get punished.
*Player3 waits a couple of minutes to see if they stop camping*
*Player1 and Player2 ignore Player3 once again and they continue to camp*
Now you're able to report Player1 and Player2 for camping, if the video is long be sure to include times where you warn them.
Impersonating staff, other ranks and players -Requires at least 2 warnings and screenshots.
If someone impersonates, you must warn them by mentioning their name and telling them to stop at least 2-3 times.
Example of when you are able to report impersonators (Requires unedited/uncropped screenshots):
|Iron| Player1: [YouTube] Hey guys, I have a lot of subs!
[Mod] Mod1: Player1, please stop impersonating.
|Iron| Player1: [Admin] I will ban you all.
[Mod] Mod1: Player1, please stop impersonating.
|Iron| Player1: [Obsidian] Player3: Hey guys, I have the Obsidian rank and my name is Player3!
Now you're able to report Player1 for impersonating.
I didn't perform it that well and I might've made a couple of mistakes, but I hope you get the idea and I think it would be really good if it got added to the guidelines.
