=== General rules for Minecraft server ===
=== Rules & Punishments ===


*1. '''Be mature and respectful towards others in chat.''' ''Teasing/banter is often permissible when mutually enjoyed, especially as an element of friendly competition, but it should not cross into malicious antagonism.''
These rules exist to offer clarity on how players are typically expected to conduct themselves on Runsafe. If a rule is broken, punishments often include being muted, kicked, banned, or the Troll rank. In less severe cases, the rule break may only be met with a warning, or merely let go. Rules are imperfect, so staff discretion is always in effect to account for unique situations. We are not looking for ways to punish good players, nor define loopholes for troublemakers.


*2. '''Avoid cluttering chat with spam.''' ''This typically includes making words too long, spamming words/phrases (or general nonsense), or using excessive caps.''
Each rule is stated below in '''Bold''' with further clarification text in ''Italics''. The rules can be read much quicker by skipping the clarifications.
