Rules Changelog

Additions and changes are highlighted in bold.

Chat Rules

  • "Warnings may be given out at discretion of the staff team, but are never guaranteed."
  • Harassment - Banter is expected given the nature of factions, however, excessive pestering, instigation, or otherwise negative comments about another player in public chat is disallowed. Additionally, engaging muted players with comments similar to “Say nothing if x is true” will be punished under this rule.
  • Sensitive Information - Desteria does not recommend releasing any personal information about yourself due to how easy it can be to mistakenly give out too much information. Putting non-specific information about a player (including yourself) in chat, such as a first name or state/province is not punishable on its own. However, should a player decide that they don't want that information on our networks, they should let a member of the staff team know and we will take action against any player who continues to distribute that information on our network.
  • Foreign Trades punishment durations have been changed to "24h mute -> 3d mute -> 7d mute -> 14d mute -> 30d mute -> 60d mute"
  • Discrimination punishment durations have been changed to "14d mute -> 30d mute -> 60d mute"
  • DoS Threats / Dox Threats / Hack Threats / Swat Threats punishment durations have been changed to "7d mute -> 30d mute -> Permanent mute" with the NOTE: Punishment severity may be increased to Tier 3 depending on the situation.
