We received a lot of positive feedback regarding the potential addition of monetary fines.
It seems fines are a logical step to discouraging offenses & deflating the economy in a way classical punishment doesn't. These fines will be implemented on a per case basis and will be an added option for Moderators, Head/Sr Guards, and Wardens.
A lot of ideas for a judicial system have been suggested over the years but ultimately it's not feasible when it comes to running the server smoothly.
Applying fines:
Permitted staff will manually apply financial fines to applicable offenders after default punishment is issues (mute/ban). Staff are not required by any means to hand out fines but if doing so they must not selectively enforce favouring their friends.
Fines must follow guidelines and not exceed set amounts. This is a high responsibility for staff and the command must always be executed correctly in full.
The command to fine a player is /fine <name> <amount>
For players total fine counts can be seen with /fines.
Staff may see their total amount issued in fines with /finesissued.
Players may not be fined if they are the following:
- E rank or below
- Less than 20 hours playtime
- Below 75k in balance including faction balances & alt accounts. If a user has significant money in a faction/alt you may base the fine on that if you see reasonable.
Fine-able offenses include the following:
Excessive mutes - A player who frequently violates chat rules may be fined $5,000-$50,000 depending on the frequency, severity, and occurrence of their violation.
Temporary bans - Players temporarily banned for offenses that "should have known better"to do may be fined. The fine is recommended to be $50,000-$100,000 per day of the temporary ban. Fine amount must not be more than 1/3rd of their balance. These fines must be well thought out and seeking the opinion of other staff members is recommended.
Permanent bans - Players permanently banned will receive hard fines. If the player should have known better than to commit their offense they may be fined $50,000-$2,500,000 depending on the offense and the likelihood of them being unbanned (higher chance of them being unbanned via appeal = higher fine). These fines must be well thought out and seeking the opinion of other staff members is recommended. These fines must not be over 1/3rd of a players balance.
If there is an incident regarding fines contact a higher up staff member such as a Warden.
Please leave us feedback on this.
