Players who break the rules on the server or in the Telegram groups may be banned from both places.
These rules may not be exhaustive, and I may decide to ban a player for some other reason. I am generally pretty easy-going, but if someone is making someone else feel unsafe I will take what I judge to be appropriate action.

The Rules: general
You may be banned if you:

The Rules: In-game
You will be banned if you:
- Steal - take anything that can't have been naturally generated by the game. If you are in any doubt, ask a mod or leave it. The exception is for marked areas or chests, such as those with a sign on them saying "help yourself".
- Mess with someone else's stuff without their consent - move or break anything that can't have been naturally generated by the game. The exception is for bases or areas that have been built on that have signs saying "abandoned" at entrances or similar - areas that are clearly marked as being unowned.
- Grief - the creation or mass destruction with the intent to provoke a negative reaction. Griefing is defined well here.
- Harm - cause damage to another player without both of you consenting to PvP. This includes indirect attacks, e.g. if you don't have consent for hurting someone with a sword, don't drop a bucket of lava on them. If you attack someone in any way they must be able to defend themself.
You should not:
- Build or gather resources within 200 blocks of a community project - a lot of us like an attractive natural environment, it reduces risk of lag, and community projects may expand at a later date.
- Build or gather resources close to someone else's base without checking with them first - comfort zones are a thing! If you want to build within, say, 50-100 blocks of someone else's base, build or GriefPrevention claim, ask them. If you don't know whose it is, ask around, post screenshots of their base/build in the Telegram group or the Discord server, etc. If you build without getting their blessing, things could get messy later on.
The Rules: On Telegram
Telegram is an instant message (IM) client, a bit like WhatsApp but cross-platform. Some of us use it to socialise and co-ordinate group events or missions. Upon joining the server you'll receive invite links that will allow you to join the various groups.
These rules are specific to our Telegram groups and may be changed or added to at any time as we learn what works and what doesn't.
These rules are specific to our Telegram groups and may be changed or added to at any time as we learn what works and what doesn't.
- We have a main group called Chatter for on- and off-topic discussion and socialising.
- It is a Telegram "supergroup", which means new members to the group can read all messages ever written.
- Occasionally a disagreement may arise in the Telegram Chatter group. In the interest of all members feeling safe and comfortable, people disagreeing with each other may be asked to move their discussion to the Conflict group.
- It is also a supergroup, which means new members to the group can read all messages ever written.
- Anyone can ask anyone else to move a discussion to the Conflict group at any time, and should not be pressured to justify themself.
- Members who are uncomfortable with moving the disagreement to the Conflict group must stop participating in the disagreement immediately.
- No one should feel any pressure whatsoever to join the Conflict group.
