||
CONCEPTS OF DP II
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
The primary goal of this revision to Disciplinary Principles is to strictly codify all
|
||
possible offenses. Some players, such as naniclan and ender_sam_ have complained that
|
||
either the justice system is too lenient, different moderators hand out different
|
||
punishments for the same thing, and we keep favourites. The use of this system will not
|
||
only convert discipline into an objective measure, it will ensure that everybody gets what is
|
||
fair to them.
|
||
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
MAJOR REVISIONS
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
Revision 11: Adds anti bullying frameworks, mandated by the Landry Strike Action Deal of October 2025.

|
||

|
||
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
INTRODUCTION AND POLICIES
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
WHAT COUNTS AS INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
|
||
Throughout this guide, you will see numerous references to inappropriate language.
|
||
Inappropriate language is any text that:
|
||
* Uses highly sexual or suggestive language
|
||
* Contains racial or homophobic slurs
|
||
* Contains traditional curse words aimed at an individual.
|
||
- "What the f*ck" – OK
|
||
- "F*ck you, [Player Name]" – Not OK
|
||
* Note: hell and damn do not count as inappropriate language under any circumstance.
|
||
"Ass" is permitted as long as it is not used in a sexual manner.
|
||
* Expresses undue hatred towards a specific group or player.
|
||
|
||
THE POINT SYSTEM
|
||
There is now only one point count. This count is incremented for every crime.
|
||
|
||
DISCORD AND MINECRAFT ARE SEPARATE
|
||
If a player commits a crime on Minecraft, their discord account will remain unaffected,
|
||
except in these circumstances:
|
||
* The player has committed a massive grief
|
||
* The player has been convicted of “Grand Manipulation” or “Corruption”
|
||
|
||
If a player commits any of these crimes, their discord account will be banned and will be
|
||
unbanned along with them if that ever happens.
|
||
|
||
Likewise, if a discord account does something bad, the Minecraft account will
|
||
remain unaffected. This is partially to protect people from answering for the crimes of
|
||
others impersonating them on Discord.
|
||
|
||
An exception to this is when discord has been used to clearly plot corrupt acts
|
||
against the server. Then, the players may be charged both on Discord and Minecraft with
|
||
“Conspiring to Act Corruptly.”
|
||
|
||
PERMANENT ISN'T REALLY PERMANENT
|
||
In many cases, permanently banned players will be unbanned after many months if
|
||
staff believe the player is genuinely reformed.
|
||
NOTE – Exception to this rule: If this player has a history of manipulation or Grand
|
||
Manipulations, they will not be believed, so unbans in this case will be greatly
|
||
delayed if ever.
|
||
|
||
POINT DECAY AND THE NEW REQUIREMENT FOR TRUSTED
|
||
Points decay at one point for every week. When reporting a crime, make sure to
|
||
check when the user’s last offence was, and subtract points accordingly. To be
|
||
trusted, a user must now have 0 active points. This means that players with criminal
|
||
records need to wait for their records to naturally decay.
|
||
|
||
RULES FOR TRESPASSING
|
||
Prior to November 1, 2025, trespassing, snooping, and looking in chests was not a
|
||
crime at all. After several complaints, rigid trespassing rules were implemented.
|
||
* For the most part, you will not get in trouble just for walking on somebody’s land.
|
||
* Trespassing works on a complaint-based system. If somebody tells you to leave, you
|
||
must leave.
|
||
* If you fail to leave, you will be teleported out by staff and issued a punishment.
|
||
* Snooping (looking in private chests) is a semi-enforced crime. You will be
|
||
questioned if caught, but not punished retroactively.
|
||
* Punishments are double if the player trespasses in a staff area (e.g., the Nani
|
||
Base).
|
||
|
||
REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSTED
|
||
To become trusted, one of the following criteria must be met:
|
||
* Total play time > 10 hours AND Joined at least one week ago AND Existing
|
||
trusted player vouches for them AND zero active disciplinary points.
|
||
* Total play time > 15 hours AND joined at least two weeks ago AND zero
|
||
active disciplinary points.
|
||
|
||
Once a user becomes trusted, they require three active disciplinary points to be
|
||
demoted.
|
||
|
||
AWARDS AND ILLEGAL ITEMS
|
||
The following are the ONLY legal unobtainable items:
|
||
* Award for Service, 1st class – Enchanted netherite ingot
|
||
* Award for Service, 2nd class – Enchanted diamond
|
||
* Award for Service, 3rd class – Enchanted iron ingot
|
||
* Award for Bugfinding – Enchanted gold ingot
|
||
* Award for 5 exploits – 50% scale stick (“small stick”)
|
||
* Award for Playtime – Enchanted bedrock
|
||
* Halloween 2025 winner – enchanted jack o lantern
|
||
* 1 year anniversary award – enchanted cake
|
||
* Ban Hammer – mace with lore #banhammer (staff only)
|
||
|
||
Any other illegal item must be treated as a violation.
|
||
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
HOW TO REPORT
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
1. Run /history on the perpetrator.
|
||
2. Find the date of their last offence and the [note].
|
||
3. Subtract two points for each month that has passed. If less than two weeks has
|
||
passed, do not subtract any points.
|
||
4. If points decreased due to decay, run a new /note <user> (new point total).
|
||
5. Execute punishment commands (punishments are calculated AFTER adding points
|
||
from the current offense).
|
||
6. Add a new /note <user> with the updated total.
|
||
|
||
THE PROCESS
|
||
1. Receive Report: From players or staff discovery.
|
||
2. Investigate: Use CoreProtect inspection.
|
||
3. Discover Scope: For griefs/thefts, determine the block/item count.
|
||
4. Reverse Damage: Use CoreProtect rollback (check for #tnt, #water, etc.).
|
||
5. Issue Punishment: Apply based on the specific crime section.
|
||
|
||
CALCULATING ITEM POINTS (FOR THEFT)
|
||
* 20 points: Elytra, Nether Star, Beacon, Heavy Core, Mace, Netherite Block,
|
||
Special Awards.
|
||
* 10 points: Netherite derivatives, Diamond Block, Gold Block, Emerald Block,
|
||
Shulker Box.
|
||
* 5 points: Diamonds and derivatives, Iron Block, Potions.
|
||
* 2 points: Any tool/armour piece, any ore/ingot, Firework Rockets.
|
||
* 1 point: All other blocks.
|
||
|

================================================================================
|
||
ANTI-BULLYING FRAMEWORKS
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
Created October 30, 2025, to stop chronic trolling that causes serious distress.
|
||
|
||
THE SIGNS OF BULLYING
|
||
Defined as chronic harassment or intimidation. Includes:
|
||
* Chronically insulting or slandering (false statements).
|
||
* Harassment via signs, posters, voice calls, or spying.
|
||
* Repeated killing or snooping.
|
||
* Seemingly innocuous actions like "shipping" or jokes if the victim is upset.
|
||
|
||
STARTING A CASE
|
||
Staff may start a case if they believe a player is being bullied. They must confirm
|
||
with the victim if they feel harassed. Isolated incidents are treated as standard
|
||
offences (Inciting Verbal Conflict or Abusive Chat).
|
||
|
||
MONITORING A CASE
|
||
1. Notify the bullies. If they stop, no further action is taken.
|
||
2. If they continue, implement further protections.
|
||
|
||
SPECIALLY PROTECTED PERSONS (SPP)
|
||
If bullying is consistent, a player is declared an SPP.
|
||
* Their name becomes forbidden to say on the server.
|
||
* Crimes against them have stricter punishments (e.g., Trespassing becomes a
|
||
1-week ban).
|
||
* Slander is introduced as a harsher offence.
|
||
|
||
NON-COMMUNICATION AGREEMENTS (NCA)
|
||
Both parties agree not to talk. Any breach results in punishments.
|
||
|
||
WHAT COUNTS AS SLANDER?
|
||
Slander is a factual, untrue statement designed to damage reputation.
|
||
* "I do not like [Player]" – NOT SLANDER (Opinion).
|
||
* "[Player] has an STD" – SLANDER (Untrue fact statement).
|
||
* "[Player] is an idiot" – SLANDER (Harmful to reputation).
|
||
* "F*** [Player]" – NOT SLANDER (Abusive language).
|
||
|
||
HOW BULLYING CASES END
|
||
1. Not enough evidence.
|
||
2. Victim agrees the bullying has stopped. (SPP cases continue to be monitored).
|
||
|
||
BULLYING PUNISHMENTS
|
||
Added on top of standard crime punishments. They do NOT decay, ever.
