Everyone should have a right to feel safe on this server, and that it isn't full of anti-semites, racists, homophobes, and so on.

4. 2) Warnings are specific to a possible or suspected server policy violation, so a first warning on three separate policies would not warrant forum expulsion.
(
4. 3) Warnings do not need to cover behavior such as spamming or trolling, as a member can be muted or removed from the forum, till they desist.
(
4. 4) First warnings are advisories requesting laying off an activity, and are not threatening expulsion from the server, but appeals of this warning can be granted on request.

Second warnings are advisories requesting laying off an activity, though in this situation appeals will be granted, as it could lead to more severe action in the future.

Final warnings will result in being moved to the Confined to the Supply Closet group and being unable to post on the forum Appeals will be granted if requested, and will take place in PMs . If the appeal fails this will result in forum expulsion from one to twelve months, or indefinitely if the behavior was severe enough a breach of the Code of Conduct.
(
4. 8)
If it is suspected spamming or trolling, you can either PM New Rogernomics, McChimp or Tubbius.

5. How to Appeal a Moderation Decision
There are many reasons why you might want to appeal a moderation decision, which includes:
- Feeling you were treated unfairly in a decision, or that the decision was too harsh for the action
- Not all the facts being provided in reaching a decision such as prior harassment
- You were given a warning you believe you shouldn't have been given,
You may appeal a moderation decision in this thread.
Do not continue to discuss the decision in the thread where the incident occurred as this will force an escalation.
