Disclaimer: This article is not an official document. It attempts to accurately describe current policy and statements made by the developers, but should not be taken as binding or otherwise limiting. If an authoritative statement is required, it should be requested directly from from staff or the development team.


This is a non-exhaustive list of reasons you may be muted:

  • Talk of/about illicit drug use, possession, or sale.
  • Use of vulgar language.
  • Discuss R rated themes, please keep chat PG, many players are very young.
  • Any discriminatory remarks about someone's race, creed, sexuality, or lifestyle.
  • If you say something that is offensive to a large group of people and are asked to shut up, please do.
  • Discussion of macros.
  • Spamming chat.
  • Flaming.
  • If you are excessively combative or argumentative when warned or asked to change the subject.
  • Attempting to pose as someone working for the game. (e.g. CM, GM, DEV).
  • Trolling.

Procedure(s) for mutes:

  • You the player have said something from the list above.
  • Moderator tells you that is unacceptable. (GMs can skip this step if they feel the need)
  • You continue
  • An official mute warning is given, this will appear in that scary orange color in your event window.
  • You keep continuing
  • Mute. Length of mute determined by moderator. (not to exceed 24 hours)
  • Post a log of the incident where it can be reviewed by the GMs, both to determine proper action was taken, and that further action is not needed.

Things they may not do:

  • Vendetta mutes. They don't like you, so they mute you.
  • Mutes for things they find personally offensive.
  • Casual muting (just for the hell of it)
  • Mute a GM, or attempt to, or even think about it.
  • Mute you because you PKd them and they are angry.
  • Mute you because of something you said in local.
  • Mute you permanently, GMs alone reserve the right to mute for more than 24 hours, I'd ask them to refer any cases where they feel an extended mute is needed to a GM.
  • Mute you in a manner inconsistent with the procedure posted above.
  • Mute without warning
  • Abuse their position, or pose as a GM.

Note: mutes are limited in time and lifted by the server when the time elapsed or a moderator lifts the mute.
