» Toxic behavior and constant trolling in chat is not allowed. Maintaining a fun and friendly environment in the chat is an important priority for the server, and persistent efforts to disrupt that can be met with long mutes, and possibly bans.

» Return all dropped items belonging to another player (mob drops, accidental death, PVP, etc) unless both parties have agreed otherwise beforehand.

» Do not abuse item renaming mechanics to create items that mimic official server items, or try to pass them off as the real deal. Any auctions that contain these items will be canceled, and you may result in the loss of your ability to create auctions. Showcasing these items may result in the removal of your ability to showcase items in the chat.

» Abusing auction mechanics to scam players out of money is not allowed and may result in a ban from actions.

» If a scam occurs, all players involved are required to refund the items on staff request. If the items are not returned, they may be forcefully taken, and punishments handed out to the refusing party.

» There are many ways to scam, and while they may not be explicitly stated in the rules, all staff has full discretion to define what actions define a scam, and will act accordingly.

» Do not share the IP addresses of other servers within Zephyreum.

» Do not advertise on the server any service or product that is not related to Zephyreum.

» Do not use your ownership of a town to attempt to steal items or money from a player. Kicking a player from your town to claim their items as your own is not allowed. If a player is removed from your town, you must allow them to gather their belongings. Do not set town tax to a huge amount in order to collect large sums of money from a player's balance.

» Town's may enforce their own town rules, as long as said rules do not conflict with any server rules. In any such case, the server rules will take precedence. Staff will not enforce the rules set forth in a town, those rules are the obligation of town staff to enforce.

» Town/nation staff that attempt to make a profit at the resident's expense, scam players, or use their town/nation to break server rules will be removed from the town, ownership of their town/builds revoked, and may also result in a ban.

» Do not build or destroy land in a 100 block radius outside of the town. Claiming land to impede the growth of a town is not allowed, and your land will be unclaimed without a refund.

» If you would like an inactive player's chests moved from your town, contact a staff member, and we will handle moving the chests somewhere else for you. Chests will only be moved if the player has been inactive for two weeks or more. If the player returns before 40 days of inactivity, the chests will be returned to them. If the player does not return, the town will have claim over the chests.

» Town staff has control over who is allowed in their town, and if you are asked to leave, you must leave. A town may make you an outlaw at any time, which will prevent entry within the town's borders. Continuing to try and enter the town or glitch your way in may result in you being warned/banned for harassment.

» Any rules not explicitly expressed here may still be enforced by staff if they feel their discretion is needed. All punishments may be appealed via our Discord, but no guarantee is given that your punishment will be revoked.

» The owner (ZettaZero) has the right to overrule any rule, broken or not broken, past or future. This includes staff decision to punish a player, or to deny any appeal to be unbanned.

» Any attempt to skirt the rules, by arguing the "vagueness" of a particular part of the rules not explicitly states will not be tolerated in any form. This extends to all forms of client modification not stated, or rules unsaid.

» Ban appeals may only be discussed by staff within a ban appeal ticket on the Discord. Any attempt to speed up an appeal by messaging staff of a ticket, or trying to talk your way out of the ban in other discord channels, etc, will likely just lower your chances of a speedy appeal and may result in your appeal being denied, You may also be muted or removed from the discord server as well.

» Staff has full discretion on punishing a player and will attempt to follow a path on how to deal with a player breaking the rules. It may start first with up to three warnings, then mutes, tempbans, and possibly leading up to account wipes, reductions, or permanent bans. Staff does not need to follow this path if the severity of the rules broken outweighs the lower punishments.
