This includes turning pvp on in your town just to kill a player, and /tp killing.

🟠 2.4.10 - Server Domination - Players belonging to PvP clans are prohibited from engaging in activities intended to dominate the server to the extent that it ruins the fun or experience of others. We believe in fostering a community-driven server where cooperative play and friendly competition are encouraged, rather than allowing PvP clans to overshadow the enjoyment of others and drive them away from the server. Our goal is to create an environment where all players feel valued and can have a positive gaming experience together.

Extra points

❗ Evidence needs to be in the format of a video, ReplayMod file, or similar file type. Screenshots are not usually allowed.

❗ You cannot be punished for something you did more than 1 ban length ago. For example, if you used KillAura 30 days prior to being found out, you cannot be punished for it. Offenses which result in permanent punishments, however, can be reported at any time. (Blackmailing is bannable btw don't do it :3)

❗ All items lost (including durability) caused by a player who at the time was breaking one of the rules will be traced, deleted, then refunded.

❗ Your appeal can and will probably be automatically rejected if you are banned by the anticheat.
