We're gonna try something new here. We like our games to go smoothly. That means no racists, cheaters, trouble makers or anything like that. So to help along the chronic abusers we've come up with this system.
With each ban you move up a strike. Itâs that simple. The loss of privileges with each strike is meant to get it though your head that you messed up and are being punished for it. If this makes it sound like we are treating you like a child then yes we are. If you want to act like one, we will treat you like one.
The bannings could be from anywhere: The forums, IRC or on the servers. With each ban you get moved up one Strike.
Strike 1
After 1 minute you can't edit your post, can't edit your own profile or upload avatar, can't post or even see a couple of the forum sections and can't upload anything to any of the groups. Can't start new polls
Strike 2
There are more restrictions on this group. Can't start new topics, but can reply to topics that others start. Can't e-mail people from the boards.
Strike 3
There are heavy restrictions on this group. Can't view or talk in any areas except for general talk and banned group. Can't PM people at all.
If you get banned again you are banned for good no coming back, at all.
As you can see with each banning the restrictions pile up. People with Strikes will be easy to spot. They will have a yellow S1, S2 or S3 in front and in back of their name on the forums.
We're still tweaking things, but these are basically thatâs going to happen. You don't like this, then don't break our rules.

If you dont screw up again while you are under these categories you can be moved out of the strike zone
Strike one you have a month there if you screw up you get moved to strike 2, if you don't then you go back to regular and start fresh
Strike 2 you are there for 4 months, screw up move on to strike three, if you dont screw up you move to strike 1 and have a month there to prove yourself before you are removed from the strike list
Strike three 6 months, you screw up you are gone for good, dont screw up you move to strike two for 4 months etc

I would just like to add that just because we are going with this method still doesn't mean that we can't ban for good at any point.
