MCZone Server Rules 📝

🏠 Main

  1. Ignorance of the server rules does not exempt you from responsibility.
  2. The administration keeps a history of server logs.
  3. By registering on the server, you automatically agree to the server rules.
  4. The administration has the right to punish a player for a reason not specified in these server rules.
  5. The administration has the right to change these rules without the knowledge of the players.
  6. Responsibility lies solely with the account owner, regardless of who performed actions under this account.
  7. In case of a ban or anything else, donation money is not refunded.
  8. A player must provide evidence of another player's violation to our Telegram punishment channel (t.me/mczone_push) within 3 hours from the moment the punishment was issued to that other player.
  9. All evidence is valid only if it was posted in the Telegram punishment channel ( t.me/mczone_push ) in the COMMENTS under your player's punishment. What you sent, for example, to a helper in private messages or simply in the chat of the Telegram punishment channel, will not be considered valid.
  10. The helper and the project team (mc-zone.org/team) of the server have the right to ask for evidence of a player's violation earlier than 3 hours. Refusal may be regarded as a violation of rule 4.2.
  11. The duration of a player's punishment for their violation depends on the severity of their violation. For example: a player wrote two swear words - a mute for 5 minutes or a kick. A player frequently uses swear words - a mute for 15-20 minutes. And all other punishments for violating other server rules follow this principle.
  12. If the violator was punished for a lesser, insignificant time (for example, the rules specify a ban for 2 days, but the violator was banned for only 1 day 12 hours), and this time does not exceed the time limit specified in the server rules, then this is not considered a violation of rule 4.2. If a player banned a violator, for example, for 5 minutes or 30 minutes, then this can be considered a violation of rule 4.2.
  13. When muting/banning, the punishment period must be specified in minutes. Below is a list of how many minutes to specify when a player violates a particular rule:
    • 1h — 60 minutes
    • 3h — 180 minutes
    • 6h — 360 minutes
    • 12h — 720 minutes
    • 1d — 1440 minutes
    • 1d 12h — 2160 minutes
    • 2d — 2880 minutes
    • 3d 12h — 5040 minutes
    • 4d — 5760 minutes
    • 5d — 7200 minutes
    • 7d — 10080 minutes
  14. Evidence of a player's violation is valid only during the current wipe. (For SkyWars servers, the validity period of evidence is 3 months from the moment the violation was recorded).
  15. All evidence (photo/video) of a player's violations must be a full screenshot/video without cropping or other things. The photo quality must be good and readable, the video quality must be at least 480p. The duration of one video evidence must not exceed 5 minutes. In any other cases, the evidence is considered invalid.
  16. 1 situation / 1 violation = 1 player punishment. If a player violates the same rule several times, then accordingly their punishment is multiplied by the number of rule violations. For example, a player banned other players without reason 5 times, his ban time will be multiplied by 5 times. 2 days * 5 times = 10 days ban. Or, a player violated rule 1.12 in one situation towards Player #1 = 1 violation. After some time, either again towards Player #1 or towards Player #2 = 2 different situations, 2 violations.
  17. The project team (mc-zone.org/team) may not provide evidence (proof) for punishing a player to the public. Everyone else, who is not on the project team, must, on an equal basis with other players, provide evidence when punishing a player. Violation may result in punishment under rule clause 4.2.
  18. If a player makes a mistake in the nickname or reason when kicking/muting/banning, they must immediately (for players with donation from Ultimate/GoodMan - up to 3 min., for everyone else - up to 10 min.) lift the mute/unban the mistaken player and issue the punishment anew. As proof of the mistake, the player must send to the Telegram punishment channel under their kick/mute/ban post, evidence (proof) showing the violation of the correct player, not the mistaken one. If this is not done = 4.2.
  19. Official helpers (project team) are those listed in the Project Team on the website mc-zone.org/team
  20. If a player's punishment is lifted without reason (rule clause 4.1) ahead of time, this will be considered a violation of rule clause 4.2. Also, the player from whom the punishment was lifted will be punished again for the same duration under the rule clause they violated earlier.
