Table of Crimes and Punishment
These are general guidelines. There are some rare, unlisted crimes that are given punishments based on severity. Sorted by severity:
"Crime": Trolling Trolling is acting like an idiot for the pursuit of hilarity, or otherwise screwing with people in a manner that does not ruin the game. Severity: None Yep, that's right, nothing will happen to regular trolls.
Crime: Role-Quitting This one is obvious. This is for all those people who ruin games and setups by leaving just after seeing their role card. Example: "DOCTOR? Fuck this, I'm out." Severity: Low Role ragequitters are bad people. The game sometimes automatically punishes them, too. But don't bother reporting them.
Crime: Griefing Griefing is similar to trolling, but actually results in the game being ruined. This is trolling taken too far. Severity: Medium
Crime: Cheating Cheating is using methods unintended by the game (such as abusing Skype, lag screen, or forcing players to read their role cards) to gain an unfair advantage over other players. Severity: High
Crime: Game-Throwing This is intentionally playing to lose. An example of this is a Mafioso giving out the names of his fellow Mafia to the town during his trial. Severity: High
Crime: Abuse Abuse is abusing donor or (more seriously) moderator abilities. This includes kicking people at random, cheating with the mod message system, etc. Severity: Very High
Crime: Hacking Hacking is obvious: getting donor codes or moderator abilities, modifying bank files, mining players' roles, etc. are all examples of this. Severity: Very High
Every punishment is up to my sole discretion. Moderator input, trustworthy members, and WELL-REASONED, WELL-WRITTEN REPORTS are more likely to result in punishment.
Watch List is a list on the website. For various reasons, people on the watchlist are no longer added to a list in-game, to save time and effort and focus on the real punishments: kick-vote and ban lists.
General punishment guidelines:
Ignored A discredited report
On-Hold (3 months) One or multiple unconfirmed reports
Watch List (4 weeks) Low or Medium Severity: Multiple reports High Severity: A confirmed report Very High Severity: A credible report
Kick-Vote List (2+ weeks) Medium Severity: A confirmed report and a criminal history High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports or a criminal history Very High Severity: By Administrator decision
Ban List (4+ weeks) High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports and a criminal history Very High Severity: By Administrator decision
Dropping from Ban List to KickVote List or from KickVote List to Watch List will result in a sentence equal to double the time spent in the previous punishment level (i.e. someone sentenced to 2 weeks in the KickVote List will then have 4 weeks in the Watch List after the first term is up.)
