Punishments

If you break a rule, you will be subject to punishment depending on the severity of the offense and the judgement of the Ainur.

Our punishments include, but are not limited to:



* Warning A warning is an official record that you have violated our rules. A warning serves to remind you of our rules and how you have violated them, so that you do not violate them again.


* Silencing Silencing removes your ability to talk on comm channels, tells, shouts, or other methods of communication.


* Imprisonment Imprisonment is a temporary measure used to isolate an offender until they can be dealt with by the Administration.


* Loss of a Hand This punishment involves the removal of one of your character's hands, leaving you only one free hand hindering your gameplay.


* Leprosy This punishment is the infliction of a disease on your character. While diseased you will constantly lose hit points. Additionally your description will be disfigured and everyone around you will receive notifications that you are diseased.


* Suspension A suspension is the inability to log in to the mud for a period of time. This suspension period allows you to cool off and reflect on your actions before being allowed back.


* Deletion Deletion, also known as 'nuke', is the deletion of your character and potentially your alternate characters as well. This is usually reserved for repeat violations of the rules, cheating which has given your character an unfair advantage such as bug abuse or multiplaying, or any incident of a zero-tolerance behavior such as harassment.



In addition to the above punishments, we have the ability to prevent users from any IP address(es) from connecting with either new or existing characters. This is known as a ban. Bans are placed when it has become impossible to control characters, often cheaters or harassers, from continuing to create characters and disrupt the mud.

Unfortunately, often as a result of banning IP addresses to prevent harassers from creating new characters, some innocent players end up locked out of the mud as well. If this happens to you, go to the following web address:
http://www.t2tmud.org/help/contact.php Using the above link you can send an email to the administration requesting access and we will put your name on an exception list, allowing your named character to bypass the ban.

There are two types of bans:



* Softban No new characters can be created from a site. Current ones can still be played as normal, however. Often applied when some idiot decides its fun to create a million characters and harass people.


* Hardban No one from this site can log on to T2T at all unless registered as an exception as explained above.
