<mark style="color:blue;">Helpful Pointers</mark>

* You must follow the punishment guide when issuing a punishment
* The only time you can alternate a punishment type is when the rule broken is not listed and therefore you make a personal judgement on the scenario
* All punishments MUST be logged via Melonly, so we can keep a track record of each individual's record upon request

Punishments are issued to players who are blatantly/intentionally breaking rules. As a Staff member it is your responsibility to ensure each individual gets a fair outcome and not to alternate a punishment due to you knowing the individual. The 4 punishment types are: <mark style="color:red;">**Warning, Kick, Ban & Ban BOLO**</mark>. You can find the punishment guide via the link listed below:
