Dogecraft Rules

General chat rules
Breaking rules will result in punishments that are previously established however the leniency will depend on the staff member enforcing them, all staff members decisions are final.

Listen to the staff. Respect the staff and other players.
Swearing is allowed as long as it's not excessive or directed at anyone.
No roleplaying, you may use /msg to roleplay with someone. Any type of sexual talk is preferably kept out of global chat.
Bullying/racism/mentioning suicide WILL NOT be tolerated.
No advertising. No YouTube/Minecraft servers/discords. Period. This will result in a temp-ban or permaban.
Spam of any sort is not permitted. 5 or more repeated characters will result in a warning. Be aware that an accumulated amount of warnings will result in increased severity ending in temp-bans.

Examples of Spam Types:

Character Spam: omgggggggg
Snail Spam: H I E v e r y o n e!
Camel Spam: Hi EvErYoNe!
Word Spam: One-word sentences. (Sending one word at a time)

Spamming also includes participating or clearly trying to initiate spam. This excludes things like welcoming new players, gg, and f when a player dies.
Please do not intentionally give players false/fake information. Telling someone alt f4 will fix something is not allowed.
Please do not /ignore staff as you will not see their verbal warnings and may end up being /warned for chat rule violations.
If someone has you /ignored please don’t go on the discord to talk to them through the global chat channel. If you have been muted and you talk through the discord this is mute evasion.
If you have issues with another player please contact the staff. Do NOT contact the other player OUTSIDE of Minecraft. Please contact a staff member to help resolve the issue. Harassment is not tolerated anywhere
Please avoid naming items anything that violates the general chat rules. We may ask you to rename the item if we feel it doesn’t comply with the rules.
English only in the main chat, please. Use party chat or PMs for other languages.

General Rules

Common Sense
Duping, collaborating with a duper, or accepting items from a duper is a permanent ban.
Listen to the staff. Rules are a guideline. The staff enforces the rules.
Report glitches you find to staff. DO NOT ABUSE them.
Report issues to STAFF. Do NOT take matters into your own hands to resolve grief etc.
No ridiculous pricing of items in any market or auction house.
No pretending to be using hacks mentioning it in chat for attention.

Alt Accounts

Do not use more than 2 accounts on the server. More than 2 will get you and the other accounts banned. If you avoid this ban you will be permabanned.
Free accounts - please understand that these are against Mojang's rules. If you are on a free account you might lose access to that account. This is not OUR problem.
If your main account is banned and you use an alt that is ban evasion.

Inactivity/Afk

If you are inactive for 3 months your residences will be removed, and people will have the right to claim the area upon request.
Land and items may be rolled back or given away at this point. This is more likely to happen on pieces of land that are empty. This is up to staff discretion but only Admin and above can change/remove/alter the actual residence.
Non-donors will have a 15m kick timer and donors 1h. Going past this will result in a warning and a kick (first offense). Repeat offenders will receive a warning and punishment will escalate from there.

Mods/Texturepacks

No mods or texture packs that provide an advantageous position over other players is allowed. If you have questions about particular ones please ask a staff member before using them.
NO XRAY.

Staff

Staff follows a guideline their judgment “if you are spamming” is on a case by case scenario but all follow the same general guide, they will inform you/act accordingly.
Do not ASK FOR STAFF. If you would like a staff position please check our forums and put in an application.
The owner is a very busy person. If you have a question please ask another staff member if they are available.
Please contact Prosp_ in-game or Prospectum#6829 on the server discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/qGPYcVT) if you have any problems regarding staff members or if you need help finding the right staff member to talk to or if you think you really do need the owner. Another way to contact staff for emergencies is to do /discord and tell us about the issue in our #ticket-support channel.

KICK: Kicks you from the server. Can immediately re-join.
TEMPBAN: 24 hours - 7 days or up to staff decision.
MUTE: Anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours or more. This is usually due to chat rule violations and is up to the staff member to decide how long it lasts.
