## Violations and Penalties:
If, for any reason, you are in violation of any of the rules of FAF then your privileges to use FAF services will be reviewed by the moderation team. The penalties range from being given a severe warning as to future conduct, a timed ban (for a specified time), a total forum/lobby ban (you may still play on FAF) or a total FAF ban (you will not be able to play on FAF).
If the matter warrants it then you might also be reported to your ISP/appropriate authorities.

**The moderation team has the final say over what constitutes a violation of these Community Rules, and reserve the right to apply penalties at their discretion.**

- Warnings and notices from community staff will be sent via private message. It is your responsibility to check your private messages for any notices that may occur.
- Warnings and notices from community staff will be sent via private message. It is your responsibility to check your private messages for any notices that may occur.
- All situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

- Testing the boundaries of the rules will often result in more severe penalties, and the boundaries of the rules are reserved for the moderation team to define. Attempts to incite action from and harrass the moderation team will result in penalties, just as they would for other members of the FAF community.
- Minor infractions that do not justify a penalty alone will be nonetheless recorded and when a sufficient number is reached, penalties can be applied.
- Repeat offenses are taken seriously. If you do not apply effort in changing your behaviour for the better, penalties that are more severe will be applied, and could escalate into a total FAF ban from a series of minor infractions.
## Appealing bans & contacting moderation
If you feel you have been mistreated or that your ban is unjustified, you can always appeal moderation decisions by contacting the moderation team.
