How the system works
Whenever you violate a rule, you will receive the punishment listed. If it says “warning,” then you will have a warning marked for your account. If you are to receive three warnings, the next violation will result in a block being applied to your account, varying on duration based on what the offenses were. Staff reserve the right to choose the block length. Staff also have the right to punish you for something that is not on the Guidelines, if they deem an action unneeded/unacceptable. Warnings are removed after 3 months. Staff should log warnings/punishments in Staff:PunishmentLog.
Appeals
If you receive a punishment that you wish to protest, create a topic on your message wall on why you wish to appeal your punishment. Tag the acting staff member. You can view who this is via. Staff:Punishment-log When you appeal please use the following format:

If you are unable to post a message on your message wall, that means that you are unable to appeal due to the severity of your infractions.
