Offender: Donbryce Battle Metrics Steam Profile Server: (US)Pure Time: 3:30 AM Eastern. Length: 3 Days Reason: Harassment/Disrespect More Info (Optional): Donbryce is a long time and valued member of the community. The only problem we've really had is when he gets riled up in chat he gets argumentative, which can lead to being abusive and it tends to go too far. This is an adult server and arguments happen but there comes a time when it happens too often and the severity of the language can effect the peace and harmony of our environment and so action must be taken. 01/11/2024 - Donbryce was spoken to about chat etiquette. The discussion outlined our rules and expectations in regards to harassment, griefing, event spawns, chat etiquette, and using the mute function with players they disagree with instead of creating a toxic environment for everyone on the server. 02/04/2024 - Donbryce was spoken to about chat etiquette again after another incident. 10/21/2024 - Donbryce was warned about chat etiquette after another incident. 11/13/2024 - Donbryce was warned again for abusive language in chat after an altercation. 1/16/2026 - Donbryce hid behind another players base to avoid the Patrol Helicopter with another player who had previously mentioned doing this on purpose to remove the other players build. 02/05/2026 - Donbryce was warned in person about abusive language in chat after an altercation. It was made crystal clear that we can no longer tolerate it and the next time we will have to take action. He said he understood the rules and would no longer express his frustrations in chat. 09/05/2026 - Donbryce was verbally abusive towards another player once again. Considering the many warnings he's received for this behaviour, and the several in person discussions outlining that it's going to catch up with him, a 3 day ban was issued in the hopes this will finally impart the seriousness of the situation and show consequences will follow if he continues. This is what's known as a 'last last chance'. Next time the ban will have to be permanent.

Offender: Ldgpro1 Battle Metrics Steam Profile Server: (US)Pure Time: 3:52 AM Eastern. Length: Permanent Reason: Harassment More Info (Optional): Ldgpro1 went to a players base was being a nuisance. He started talking nonsense to the base owners, claiming he was an admin and was going to ban them, claiming the base was his and they should get out, claiming his gear was stolen by them, which after checking logs, I confirmed it wasn't, saying he won't leave until they gave him items etc. And he refused to leave their base upon their request. When a player refuses to leave another players base after repeatedly being asked to I always appear and simply explain that not leaving a players base upon the base owners request can lead to harassment warnings etc. Usually situations like this are from ignorance of the rules and a quick chat can solve it, but Ldgpro1 said he didn't care, he was never going to leave and I should just ban him. Well the friendly route didn't work so I had to take the official route. 09/04/2026 - Ldgpro1 was warned for harassment after refusing to leave a players base upon the base owners request and then admin instructions to leave. 09/04/2026 - Ldgpro1 was warned for harassment again after still refusing to leave the players base. This warning made it clear this was his last chance to comply. 09/04/2026 - Ldgpro1 still refused to leave after two official warnings and so had shown that he was not interested in respecting the community or following our rules so a permanent ban had to be issued.

Decay for me, from a player point of view, adds a little more challenge and more of a feeling of accomplishment for my wipe, like I earned it more, and makes farming/tea making something I need to do later in the wipe too which is great. Usually my farm is unused in the last two weeks which makes me sad From an admin point of view it's really great as it clears out abandoned buildings which greatly improves server performance (less lag) and leaves much more good land open for building bases. It ensures cars in those abandoned bases decay too so they return to the wild to be used by active players which is great, and it has kept the economy humming more in the late stages of the wipe. All good things.

Offender: ノヴチソク Battle Metrics Steam Profile Server: (US)Pure Time: 2:58 AM Eastern. Length: Permanent Reason: Griefing More Info (Optional): 08/16/2026 - ノヴチソク was warned for Griefing in English and Russian after entering another players base and clearing auth on the base owners TC, then authing on it himself and placing a lock on it to deny the base owner access.

This warning made it clear he was on his last chance. 08/16/2026 - ノヴチソクlogged off for 20 mins then came back and immediately laddered onto another players base. In a short time ノヴチソク ignored multiple warnings for the same infraction which showed he is not interested in respecting the community or following our rules so a permanent ban had to be issued. За короткий промежуток времени ノヴチソク проигнорировал многочисленные предупреждения за одно и то же нарушение, что продемонстрировало его нежелание уважать сообщество или соблюдать наши правила, в связи с чем было принято решение о бессрочной блокировке.

08/02/2026 - 2:00 AM - Harveypup returned to the server and griefed another players base. Harveypup was banned previously but after an appeal he was given one more chance. As per the conditions of his ban being lifted if he transgressed our rules again, even once, then the ban would be reinstated permanently, and so it was.

There is more I could add as to the extent of the harassment leading up to this final incident but it isn't necessary.

Hi 123, I appreciate your reply and I believe you're sincere so I'll give you another chance. Even though I believe you will do as you say, I have to warn you that in these circumstances, when a ban is lifted, any more transgressions for the reasons you were banned, even one, will mean the ban will be reinstated permanently. It's just how we do things. The ban will be lifted immediately so you can join the start of wipe with everyone else. Welcome back and good luck! Scotty.

I replied to your appeal in your other post here

Hi 123, thank you for taking the time to appeal. It's the responsibility of every player to read the rules of any server they join and to follow those rules. And when an admin sends you a warning we explain the rules so you can learn what you did wrong and not make that mistake again, but even after two warnings for stealing you kept stealing which gives me concerns about letting you return. So before I can consider giving you a second chance I would like you to elaborate on what your plan is to improve. It will give me some insight as to whether you understand your mistakes so you won't repeat them which is the most important thing. I await your response. Scotty

And a great thing about decay is all the farmers out there can make teas/pies all wipe and they will always be be in demand. A nice boost to the economy.

"With the upcoming improved PvE system a lot of these QoL changes will be native." VERY exciting.

Thank you for participating in the appeals process .357mag. After reviewing all the information and evidence relating to the ban, and weighing the words spoken and attitude displayed during our communications after the ban, it's my opinion there is no remorse shown for breaking the rules or for the harm caused to the community, and even now a refusal to acknowledge our rules validity. At this time your ban appeal is declined, we wish you luck finding a server that better suits your style of gameplay.

Offender: .357mag Battle Metrics Steam Profile Server: (US)Pure Time: 8:54 AM Eastern. Length: Permanent Reason: Stealing/Harassment/Language More Info (Optional): 6/15/2026 - .357mag was warned after stealing another players vehicle. The player in question had found a car spawn on the side of the road and had announced in chat that it was reserved for their friend, then had put car parts and fuel in the car and was waiting for a friend to come drive it back to their base and .357mag placed foundations and a car lift, took the car, locked it, and drove off. 06/23/2026 - .357mag was warned again after he looted heli crates when he did not participate in the kill. 06/23/2026 - .357mag was then warned for Disrespect/Harassment after being abusive towards the players who he had just stolen from. 06/23/2026 - After the warning .357mag continued to be abusive and belligerent which led to a 24 hour mute as the community had already had enough. 06/23/2026 - After the mute .357mag went to our discord #help channel and was disrespectful/abusive towards two admins from other servers who were consummate professionals and who were simply trying to help him which led to a 24 hour mute there as well. These two images are just examples from his tirade just to give some idea. 06/23/2026 - Then .357mag logged back onto the server and stared putting up signs with the names of the two admins who had tried to help him with a sign below saying POS. .357mag has shown that he has no intention of respecting the community, the staff or our rules so a permanent ban was issued. I really hope you find your way to a better place inside mate, I believe in you.

.357mag you can read the ban report shortly which will be posted in this section. Then you can appeal if you want.

Hello aimeecrossing, thank you again for taking the time to appeal The circumstances which led to the ban have been reviewed and it's been determined that in this rare case you will be given a second chance, just one. Your ban will be lifted in 72 hrs from the time of this post. Please bear in mind, this is a one-time ban reversal. No further rule infractions of this nature can happen. Welcome back! - Scotty.
