-====== Punishments ======
+===== Punishments =====
-We operate a two-limbed objective and subjective approach towards punishment in NordInvasion. This means that we firstly apply the “reasonable player” test; what would the normal player believe is acceptable behaviour? I would like to draw your attention to the maxim at the top of this page; ignorance of the rules in NordInvasion is no excuse and every player is deemed to know them.
+Punishments range from official warnings, temporary bans, various degrees of account resets, to a permanent ban.  The severity of the punishment is based on the type of offense committed while keeping in mind the history of previous offences and warnings.  A repeat offender will be dealt with more severely than a first time offender for example.
-The subjective test means we will look at the individual player, his reputation and past infringements. This means that if we see you have 86 reports by other players, we will view your infringement in a dim light; if you have received warnings in the past for the same behaviour you will be treated more severely; if you have behaved in an inappropriate manner to a member of the administration team in the past, you punishment is very likely to be more severe and so forth.
+Account resets remove a fixed percentage of levels, experience, class points, gold, and quantity of items.  The cost of hero classes removed in the process is not refunded.
+===== Unban Request Rules =====
-We //normally// operate an Official Four Warning system;
+You may request to be unbanned by posting in the [[http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php/board,79.0.html|Unban Requests]] section of the forum.  If a duration for the ban was provided, do not post until that amount of time has passed.  Doing so may result in the ban being extended.
-  * Warning 1 – Official Warning
+I again cannot urge you enough to be polite and mature in setting out your unban request. If you have additional information to add to your request before it has been responded to by a member of the Developer team then please use the modify post button. Please do not spam your thread asking why your request has not been answered, it will happen in time.
-  * Warning 2 – 50% reset
-  * Warning 3 – 100% reset
-  * Warning 4 – Ban
-The developer that deals with your particular case has the discretion to alter your punishments. __Not all offenses have been created equal__, much the same as real life. This means __you are not entitled to four warnings__; you are not entitled to any warnings. __Your punishment will suit the crime__. If you believe you have been treated unfairly, I advise you to think very carefully before sending any PM’s to a member of the developer team. We are all very busy and do not bother reading whiney PM’s. A polite and mature message is far more likely to generate a response.
+===== Disputing a Ban =====
+If you truly believe you have been treated unfairly, contact someone in [[http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?action=viewgroups&gid=24|Dev & Ops]].  A polite and mature message with a rational argument is far more likely to generate a response than anything else.  If however you dispute a ban in a condescending manner or you waste time by disputing an obvious ban, your ban may be extended.
