Loosen impersonation rule

Loosen the impersonation rule: if someone simply says “I will ban you” without being staff they should be warned once, possibly link to Why impersonating mods with texts like “I will ban you” or “I am a mod” is bannable and after 2nd offence they should be banned, not directly. Saying (joke) like “i will ban u (joke)” (or /j, /s) implies that that is a joke and not be taken too serious, so this should be maximum warned. Especially if no one really thought the user would be a mod and starts as…

Frustrations?

Those are good ideas. For the server rules in particular, it may be worth grouping them. Rules that are outdated and need to be removed is one. Rules that you are clarifying are another. Rules that you are changing the meaning of should probably each be a different topic. Only because some changes require little feedback and others require more. Sorry I didn’t fully read your topic yet, but I noticed that those types are mixed and I know some of those are 100% needing to be made.

Suggestion of reworking the server rules

Below I made a concept for reworking the rules. Do not hesitate to comment on what can be made differently or improved on this suggestion. I will soon make the same for the discord rules. INFO to those who appeal a ban or report players: Do not use this ruleset when quoting the rules, instead use the official rules listed here. Key: Red stroken through : This text is to remove Yellow: This text is to add (Orange in parantheses): Comments The following is the complete list of Rules. This …

Using the name of, claiming to be or hinting at your identity being that of another person is impersonation. Jokes do not get around the rules if not clearly marked as such.

1. Impersonating other members of the community without their permission and if it is thought by many other persons that the impersonater is indeed the impersonated member will result in a ban.
2. Impersonating those outside of the community, when considered by Staff to be malicious or fraudulent, will result in a warning and any further offence will result in a ban.
3. Impersonating when not considered malicious or fraudulent, and therefore for entertainment purposes, is permitted. This also includes if you impersonate a member with their permission for entertainment purposes

See Cipher is actually done with Skemor’s permission currently I’ve been using said character to work with new vanity designs, and PvP kits

The most recent version of Cipher uses a modified variant of Skemor’s current PvP kit with a Devil May Cry Dante vanity
