Ruin official event by combat docking with a titan: 2 week ban
"On the radar contact" memes: 1 month ban
Make it make sense.
Enough with these vague rules such as 1.0 that only serve to be subjectively enforced and confuse new players. For God's sake, Discovery has a shorter ruleset than your typical Garry's Mod DarkRP server, a game played by a significantly younger audience. If literal kids can handle longer and more specific rules lists, I'm sure the adults here can do that as well.
With the recent bouts of community drama these past few weeks, I think it's past time for staff to rewrite rules like 1.0 to be more specific, and ditch overly-vague generalities such as "Don't be a dick." For starters, how about adding a clickable drop-down box specifying what exactly breaks rule 1.0? If there are too many examples, then simply list the most common and relevant ones. This would greatly help in reducing player confusion when disciplinary action happens, as well as eliminating or at least mitigating players' feelings of being the victims of arbitrary and biased enforcement from staff.
And Haste, stop trying to publicly justify this erroneous decision from your staff team. Instead, talk to them privately and have them reverse this clear mistake. You've already alienated enough players with your misguided anti-fun game balance philosophy, we don't need to lose even more of them due to fear of unfair sanctions/bans like Mort's.
