AuroraMC Rules

The AuroraMC Network Rulebook

Information

All enforcement of the rules on AuroraMC is decided by the individual member of staff dealing with the situation. Punishments may vary depending on the context behind the situation. If you believe a staff member is misusing their powers, please submit a support ticket and it will be handled from there.

Additionally, there may be an additional tag attached to your punishment reason depending on who it was issued by, this is intentional and is part of the system that we use to punish players, information about this can be found below.
  • [Awaiting Approval] means that your punishment was issued by a Junior Moderator and is awaiting approval from their supervisor. The reason we have this is to ensure that all punishments given are as accurate as possible and there are no false-positives given. If the evidence for your punishment is correct and sufficient for a punishment, it will be approved. If not, it will be completely removed from your history.
  • [SM Approved] means that your punishment was issued by a Junior Moderator, but was approved by their supervisor. If you believe that this is incorrect, please submit an appeal.

All rules found on this page are subject to change at any given time at the discretion of The AuroraMC Leadership Team. By playing on the server, you acknowledge these rules and agree to follow them in order to continue playing uninterupted. Attempting to bypass these rules in any way is not allowed.
