A Guide on Chat Offenses [Outdated]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:16:54 +0000

This thread will teach you what a chat offense is, how to call them, and what qualifies as a chat offense. The original thread that tried to explain this can be found here
This guide will help expand on that to help Moderators and A-Guards and above better understand this.

What are chat offenses?

Chat offenses are warning that are given to a player when they break one of the chat rules. Players are given three (3) chat offenses and on their third (3rd) offense the player gets muted. They are a way to help keep the server's chat cleaner and friendlier.

How to call chat offenses

The most common way to call a chat offense is to say "chat offense x left." Although you may chose to call them differently if you wish.
Here is a list of some examples:

co x left
co x
chat offense x left
chat offense x

You may make up your own as long as it informs the player that they broke the chat rules and how many offenses they have left. So that means that you may not say " x left" as this does not tell the player what you are calling.

What qualifies as a chat offense?

A basic list of what qualifies as a chat offense:

Spam
Caps
Swearing
Disrespect towards staff
Advertising (insta-ban)
Racism (insta-ban)

Now to expand on that.

Spam:
Something is considered spam when a player repeats a chat message more than three (3) times with little or no change to the message.

Caps:
Something is considered caps when a chat message has three (3) or more letters that are capitalized. Also, this is not limited to letters, if a player uses a zero (0) in place of an O then it is still considered as a letter.
Although, there are some exceptions to this rule. If someone says MCP in all caps then that is fine, same if someone says "Welcome to MCP ! "

Swearing:
Swearing is any word that has a very negative meaning to it.
Here is a list of some swear words (don't ban me for this astral, its for educational purposes ):
[spoiler=Swear Words]

This includes some words that are used in other parts of the world since people from all over the world come onto MCP.
- [li]Fuck
- Shit
- Cunt
- Pussy
- Twat
- Ass
- Bitch
- Bastard
- Bollock
- Bugger
- Cock
- Dick
- Faggot
- Whore
- Slut
[/l][/l][/l][/l][/spoiler]
This should go without saying but I'll say it anyways, variances of these words also count as chat offenses. So if someone says "Holy sh!t, the parkour is hard" it would still count. Same if someone says "Omg, you little f***er!"

Disrespect towards staff:
This is when a player shows disrespect towards a staff member. This does not include things like "omg wow, summon! why???" Something that would be considered disrespect would be like "wow summon, you are a really sucky guard that doesn't do shit" (that would also be called for swearing).

Advertising:
This is not something that you would call a chat offense on.
This is self explanatory, but there are some specifics to this rule. Some things that don't count as advertising are things like someone telling everyone to check out a video on YouTube. Something that would count would be if someone says "Hey guys! go to
, it is soooo much better than this server!"
The penalty for advertising is a permanent ban.
Non permitted links in chat can be considered advertising and can be punished with a chat offense.

Racism:
This is not something that you would call a chat offense on.
Players that show racism of any kind get an instant one (1) day ban.
Things that are considered racist:
[spoiler=WARNING THIS CONTAINS RACIST THINGS]
- The "N word"
- Cracker
- Chinky Eyes
- Anything else that is obviously a derogatory statement against a certain (or multiple) race, colour, ethnicity, etc.
[/spoiler]

Hopefully this guide helped the staff and players know a bit more about chat offenses.

MCP In Game Rules

Fri, 03 Jan 2014 09:13:17 +0000

*All Of These Things Can Get You Either: Jailed, Kicked Or Temp Banned*

1. Do not show any contraband items. These items include:

Swords
Bows
Negative splash potions
Chainmail
Drugs
Special PvP Items (Shotgun, Throwable Bricks, Disk Launcher, Silas Sythe, etc..)

If a guard sees you with these items, he or she will ask for the item, if you do not give the item, you will be jailed. If the item is not actually contraband (i.e. a stick, dye, horse armor) the guard will check first and then give the items back.

2. Do not PvP Abuse. PvP Abuse is when you hit someone or are hit by someone and run into a no PvP zone. If you continue to do this and a guard sees, you will be jailed.

3. Do not grief the tree farms and mines on the server. If you are caught placing blocks in the mines or tree farm like lava, fire, or other harming blocks, you will be banned. Also, do not break the saplings in the tree farm. This, like placing aforementioned blocks, will get you banned.

4. Do not continuously PvP. If you die and go straight back to PvPing too many times in a short period, you will be jailed by a guard.

5. Do not interfere with any guard duties. If you do so, you will be jailed for however long the guard sees fit.

6. Do not under any circumstances attempt to convince a new player to remove pvp timer when you have the intention of killing them. Doing this will result in a temporary ban.

7. Do not under any circumstances attempt to convince a new player to type "/suicide" or "/kill". Doing this will result in a temporary ban.

8. Plot owners are responsible for their plots. You are liable for what a member does/builds on it.

9. Auto fishers are banned. Punishment for using one is usually a 1 day ban and $50,000 fine.

10. Using special items against players in safezones is forbidden and punishable. Items such as Taser, Jarder, Pocket Sand, etc. This does not include the use of lava buckets/flint and steel on plots.

11. No PvPing and running/teleporting away. Doing so may result in you being jailed. If you do this a guard may call "hit and run" and jail for 5-10 minutes. The definition for hit and run is 50-100 blocks away from the site of PvP. Keep in mind this is to prevent players who hit and run excessively, avoid jailing players who are simply tactically retreating to allies etc.

12. It is forbidden to have items that are not legitimate in the eyes of the server economy. Items in this category obtained through glitches, staff, or other players should be reported immediately. An example of these items are Power VII Marksman bows, A sharp 7 diamond sword, or special event items. Items such as warden axes or simply renamed harmless items are fine.

13. Ignoring the automatic afk kick via use of macros or afk pools is forbidden.

14. No Scamming other players. IE promising to sell an item then not giving it is scamming. Intercepting an item thrown is not scamming it is stealing. Long term deals are not covered for scamming, only instant transactions are.

15. Using exploits or loopholes to kill players or gain an advantage on any aspect of the server is forbidden.

MCP Server Rules

Fri, 03 Jan 2014 09:12:54 +0000

These rules are pretty much common sense.

If you do not obey these rules, you may be kicked, temporarily banned, or permanently banned.

1. No hacked clients
2. No unapproved mods. Approved mods may be seen here
3. No x-ray texture packs.
4. No spamming or advertising.
5. No profanity.
6. Respect all staff and fellow players.
7. No griefing in the prison. In the free world, this is allowed.
8. No abusing any bugs or glitches that you either discovered or heard about. Please report them to a staff member if you find one.
9. You are responsible for your account. If someone does something on your account that gets you punished, there is nothing we can do. If you are worried about an occurrence like this, change your Minecraft password. If you share an internet connection with another player you may be responsible for their actions. This is a risk you take and it is your responsibility to stop them from breaking the rules, if this is an issue don't use a shared connection.
10. Do not necromance on the forums. Necromancy is when you reply to a forum that has been dead for a long while.
11. If bypass a mute, ban, or other limit with an alternate account both of your accounts will be punished or even permanently banned. Knowing a banned player is bypassing and not reporting it is also against the rules and can get you banned.
12. Do not impersonate other players/staff.
13. No VPNs/Proxies. If you use one you may be banned instantly. If you have a technical reason for using one clear it with a Warden first.
14. Purchasing packages with real money for other players in exchange for in game items is discouraged. If the package buyer chargebacks or the in game buyer does not fulfill terms either party may be out of luck. Our only official statement on the matter is if you do this get full payment in game before buying the package for the user. Do not set drawn out deals over a time frame.
15. Have common sense.
16. By being warden on MCP you agree to be Silas's slave.
17. Wearing Christmas skins before November 12th will result in a banishment.
18. Having an incomplete pepe image on your property will result in a fine.
