#General Guidelines Moderators are held to a high standard and will uphold their position while interacting with community members. We are mods, but also members who would like to participate in civilized discussion with intent to inform, or to be informed.

#Ban Procedure When banning members for breaking the rules of our community, a mod will ban when they feel it's necessary. Bans typically are a warning for a first offense, 7 days for a second offense, 30 days on a third and permanent for a fourth offense.

If you feel you have been unjustly banned, message the moderators from within our sub and we'll discuss your ban amongst our team and hold a vote on whether to uphold or repeal your unban request.
