Last Chances

What is a last chance?

A last chance is something that people receive as a warning to alert them that if they receive one more ban then they will receive a permanent suspension from the servers. Last chances have no such guidelines as to what strictly equals a last chance, however staff members typically judge it based on the amount of punishments the player has acquired and the severity of the rules they have broken. For instance, if someone were to have minor bans that didn't repeat but received 10 or more, then they would likely be put on a last chance, however someone with a small quantity of bans, which are considered major and do stack up could also equate to a last chance. It is important to remember that every staff member has their own judgement and so just because one did one thing, doesn't mean that the other has to follow too. With this being said, if we feel as though a last chance is undeserved then the staff team or SA(s) will discuss this with the banning administrator.

Changes to last chances.

As of the 18/10/2017 (10.18.2017) last chances will now have an official expiry date. Now, to clarify last chances technically did not have an expiry date, however as seen in the past many unban requests from players who had received a last chance have had their permanent ban lifted, as well in some cases their last chance too. The main reason as to why this occurred is that the players would receive a last chance and then over several months have shown a growth in maturity and in that space of time they received no punishments. From this we have seen that people can change and so from now on last chances will have a 6 month period, after 6 months if the player has not received a ban or blacklist then their last chance will be lifted. However, if the player were to have their last chance lifted and then break a rule following this then they will have their last chance returned. With this being said, all users that have currently have a last chance and have followed the following guidelines will have their last chance revoked. If a user goes through 3 last chances and then gets banned on their third, then they will receive a permanent suspension.

Just to clarify, this 6 month period begins once your 'Last Chance' ban has expired.
