Rule Violations and their Consequences

I've had a few questions about lengths of bans, so I'm providing this simple framework of what can be expected.

Actions Taken for Rule Violations

Abuse/Offense	Minor Offense	Major Offense	Major/Repeat Offense
GM/GS Non-Compliance	3 Days	1 Week	Permanent Account Suspension
BfDW Staff Impersonation	-» -»	-» -»	Permanent Account Suspension
Offensive Language	3 Days	1 Week	Permanent Account Suspension
Harassment	3 Days	1 Week	Permanent Account Suspension
Stat Padding	3 Days	1 Week	Permanent Account Suspension
Bug Exploitation/Distribution	1 Week	-» -»	Permanent Account Suspension
Item/Gold Fraud	1 Week	-» -»	Permanent Account Suspension

Please keep in mind, this is a guideline only. Duration times, severity, even your demeanor when caught will weigh upon the decision.

If you're banned today for language, then 3 days later for harassment - those are separate offenses and the bans will be separate; 3 days for the one, then 3 days for the other.


Let me provide another point of clarity: Creating alternate accounts just to get back online, will result in those accounts being banned, or at our discretion, IP banning you from the server completely
