POLICY UPDATES
on 30 Jul 2025 6:46 PM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #general-announcements channel
The in-game POLICY verb has been updated to remove a lot of old and unclear policies that have been present for a long time. Some POLICY options have been entirely updated, while others have had minor tweaks. It is important to read the POLICY in full in game. There are some pending updates that will be announced soon.
Along with these updates, we have some extra tools that will help automate some of the process for staff when it comes to violations.
From the Disord Rules Channel:
Going forward, we will use these guidelines for infractions against our Discord Code of Conduct. A violation will result in these actions per calendar year:
1st warning: 1 day timeout
2nd warning: 7 day timeout
3rd warning: Banned for a minimum of 30 days
Repeated violations past the 3rd warning may result in actions taken place in game, such as Restricted Player. Please read POLICY in game for details.
It can be difficult to moderate our server given the number of channels and messages received at any given time. To assist, you can report any issues by right clicking a message and using the Flag to Mods option.
Occasionally we may add slowmode to channels during times of intense message load when moderation may be needed.
