Repeat Offenders

When punishing a player who has already received punishment for a committed infraction, the punishment given shall be one tier higher than the offense's listed punishment. Each subsequent offense will move to the next tier, until one of the following conditions are met, at which point the player should be banned permanently:

1. The number of infractions committed by the player (including the one that would be assessed) is equal to 5 or more, or; 2. The length of the ban would exceed one month

Note: When assessing violations, if the infraction is relatively minor, lower tier punishments such as verbal warnings can be repeated so long as actions committed are not causing other infractions.

Note: All Discord bans are permanent unless appealed. All Discord mutes should be under 24 hours - anything over this should be considered for a ban.
