► Rules & Explanations

Boosting Value
Being involved in real money trades with anyone or buying spawners, money or ores from disqualified islands is disallowed. Buycraft trades are allowed, but we strongly encourage doing gold-related trades via the auction house, as it is possible to list items for gold there, therefore ensuring a safe trade. This rule also includes having accounts on multiple islands.

• First offence: 10 strikes

Cooperative Island Spam
Flooding the chat as an island and making it unreadable will result in an island punishment instead of a standard warning/mute. This means if multiple island members are sending the same message or similar in the public chat with the goal of spamming, the island will get struck. Does not apply when the entire server is typing 'L', 'LOL', or similar when someone gets banned/struck/etc.

• First offence: 1 strike
• Second offence: 2 strikes
• Third offence: 3 strikes
• Fourth offence: 4 strikes

Economy Script
Using any form of modification (excluding automatic mob farms) to automatically grind resources for the island. Includes alt accounts.

• First offence: 4 strikes + cheating ban for the involved user
• Second offence: 6 strikes + cheating ban for the involved user

Island-Wide Cheating
Having 3 or more players from your island banned for cheating-related offences, screen share bans, ban evasions of cheating-related bans, or ban evasions of screen share bans. Includes kicked players and cheating on alts.

• First offence: 5 strikes
• Second offence: 6 strikes

Server Abuse
Crashing, exploiting bugs, duping, or similar actions. Even if one person from your island commits the act, the entire island may be affected. This will result in the abuser getting banned, and your island receiving strikes and possibly disqualification (depending on the severity). Also includes using tracker bots (bots automated to track vanished staff).

• First offence: 4 strikes
• Second offence: 8 strikes

Strike Evasion
Evading strikes by making a new island or having 2+ members leave the struck island and join another island. If it's only one player, the leader of the island will be asked to kick the user and a punishment will follow if they fail to do so.

• First offence: 10 strikes

All of these rules can also be viewed in-game using /is warns.
