Hello!
If you are reading this, you probably were unfortunately placed on probation or you want to know more about how the system works.
First of all, this was previously the Last Chance system however it was reworked to address some issues with the former Last Chance system, namely its misleading name, the inconsistency of its enforcement, and the fact that it would potentially cause reformed players to get banned due to a lack of expiry period.
The system is intended to be used for players with exceptionally large punishment records, and ones which we may want to more closely monitor as a condition of unban for more serious offenses.
By default the Probation Period lasts 6 months. Any time that extends it requires staff voting.
The type and date of probation is chosen by the person who originally issues it.
You can have probation period for a permanent blacklist or a permanent ban. So if you have a probation that states a certain blacklist to be enforced and you break a rule that involves that blacklist, you will have the probation period enforced and recieve a permanent blacklist.
And as for the permanent ban, if the staff member reviewing the situation in which the player has broken the rules decides the situation requires a ban due to certain reasons, and a warning or a blacklist won't be enough, the probation for a permanent ban will be enforced.
For conditionals - a probation for a specific rule breakage it's as follows;
Either 4 bans for the same reason or a cumulative 6 bans and blacklists for the same reason, where only 1 per incident is counted (pte blacklist is 1 blacklist, a pte blacklist alongside a ban only counts as 1 cumulative etc).
For General;
Requires at least 10 total bans or a cumulative of 20 bans and blacklists, same counting rules as above.
Players may be placed on probation as a condition for unbans.
Please note that last chances issued before this took effect remain as regular last chances by default, so all last chances that were issued prior to this system being used, are still last chances and are enforced accordingly.
You can ask all questions related to this below, but please do not rage or rant about your ban or blacklist or your probation as it's not helpful to anyone.
