Moderator Policy

- Single breaches can be omitted, attention is paid to systematic ones
- At first – warning, then – gradual ban
- In special cases send private message to developers for eternal ban
- You cannot use ban for personal aims

Actions of moderators are not disputed

Moderators are reliable so there can't be any public explanations or discussions

We'll control moderators' work and in case someone fails to be reliable, he will be excluded without any warnings or discussions, depending on developers' decision.
All moderator's actions are logged.

If you think that you're banned without any reason – send private chat-log.
It won't be discussed as well, requests to stop ban will be ignored.
However, log will become the basis for internal estimation of moderators' actions.
