INTRODUCTION

The following document outlines every server rule for the MCOrigins brand and network, including websites and social media platforms. Players and staff should refer to this document, as punishments will be given based on the following rules and regulations. Staff reserves the right to punish players for any valid reason they see fit. If you are punished for a reason that is not outlined below, it may be unique but remain valid.

Bypassing any punishment via another account will result in a more severe IP-wide punishment compared to the original offense.

FALSE PUNISHMENTS

Staff are human too. If you feel that you have been unfairly punished or given an overly harsh punishment, appeal to the MCOrigins Discord.

Any dispute regarding a punishment should be voiced in the Discord, not in DMs to a Staff member on the server. Ensure you take screenshots as evidence to support your appeal.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

These punishments serve as a general guideline for both players and staff to follow. Every situation is unique; staff reserves the right to punish players for anything they deem to be unfair or inappropriate, even if it is not outlined in this document.

Furthermore, the offenses listed for each rule are a guideline. Again, staff members may slightly increase or decrease a punishment’s severity if they deem it necessary.

You are responsible for all activity on all of your accounts. Therefore, we advise against sharing your account details with others, as you (the account owner) are responsible for any activity on said account.
