Critical Threats

Make sure to review the 🧑‍⚖️ Overview of Policies and Punishment Guidelines before punishing players.

Critical Threats include any malicious actions or threats directed at the server's stability, security, or network infrastructure. These infractions are treated with zero tolerance.

Critical Threats Include:

• DDOS / DoS Threats: Threatening to perform a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) or Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the server, other players, or staff members.
• Security Threats: Attempting to breach or compromise server databases, config files, or staff accounts, or disseminating security-compromising tools/exploits.
• Bot Swarm / Flooding: Using bots, proxies, or automated scripts to swarm the server, flood chat, or trigger connection lag to crash/disrupt services.

Suggested Punishment:

• First Offense: Permanent Ban + IP Ban
  /ban <player> Critical Threat - Security/Network (Proof In Logs)
/ipban <player> permanent Critical Threat

Staff Action Steps:

1. Apply Server Lockdown: If a bot swarm is currently flooding the server or attempts to crash it are active, immediately whitelist the server using /maintenance or /emergency to stop the intrusion.
2. Collect Logs: Document IP addresses, connection records, and chat history.
3. Escalate Immediately: Report the incident directly to the Owner and Admins.
