Rules
-Mafia- has a few rules, since it's a game based very much on secrets and lying. For example dead people shouldn't be able to talk with the living.
- Role-Quitting is not allowed.
- Game-Throwing is not allowed.
- Skyping is not allowed.
- Hacking is not allowed.
Role-Quitting
Role-Quitting means to leave a game for the sole reason of not wanting to play the role you have been given.
Game-Throwing
Game-Throwing means "playing to lose", in other words ruining the game for your team-mates. Game-Throwing can be considered somewhat ok if you are Serial Killer or Arsonist, cause you don't have any team-mates.
Skyping
Skyping means that the accused is talking with someone else outside of the game, and there by gaining information that they shouldn't be able to gain.
Hacking
Hacking can mean many things, but the most general case of hacking is "Point Hacking".
Crimes
These are general guidelines. There are some rare, unlisted crimes that are given punishments based on severity.
General crimes sorted by severity:
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.
Example:
- "RED IS ALWAYS EVIL!"
Severity: None (Yep, that's right, nothing will happen to regular trolls.)
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. But don't bother reporting them.)
Griefing
Griefing is similar to trolling, but actually results in the game being ruined. This is trolling taken too far.
Severity: Medium
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.
Example:
Severity: High
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.
Example:
Severity: High
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
Hacking
Hacking is obvious: getting moderator abilities, modifying bank files, mining players' roles, etc. are all examples of this.
Severity: Very High
Punishments
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.
Watch List
Low or Medium Severity: Multiple reports
High Severity: A confirmed report
Very High Severity: A credible report

Point Ban
A player will receive a point ban if he/she is found to have modified their bank file to gain points unfairly.
Duration in days is equal to the number of points gained unfairly.
Kick-Vote List
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
High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports and a criminal history
Very High Severity: By Administrator decision
Punished Players and Appeals
The punished players and appeals forum contains threads for approved Point Ban, Kick-Vote list and Ban-List reports.
This forum gives players the opportunity to appeal their sentence.

Length of Punishments
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.)
