Rules & Regulations
Last Updated: 8th of December 2024
Welcome to CreativeFun, a server dedicated to ensuring that people of all ages and background are able to safely engage themselves in the countless activities available on our server.
In order for that possibility, we need your cooperation in following our few simple, important rules. Please make sure that you read through all of them carefully!
Any incomprehension or confusion regarding our rules is to be brought immediately to staff members. "I didn't know / understand the rules" is NOT grounds for release from punishment.
It is your job to keep up with the rules and to not break them. There will be no excuses of "Oh, but I didn't get a warning." as warnings are given by the jurisdiction of the staff member.
How long is each mute?
Mute durations depend on the offence, this page will list each offence along with its mute duration. If you do not get muted after 30 days from your previous mute, your mute history will be cleared. This does not apply if you have been permanently muted.
Permanent Ban Offences
Advertising
Advertising other servers or websites (through either direct IP addresses, Discord Invites, etc). This is not allowed regardless of whether you do it in global chat, local chat, private messages, mail, signs, books and builds. You are not allowed to ask players in chat to message you for a server name or IP. An example of breaking this rule would be "Add me on discord for a minecraft server". This is a form of bypassing the "No Advertising" rule.
Bypassing a Ban
If you have been banned you are not allowed to use another minecraft account to bypass your ban. This will result in the alt accounts being permanently banned and you will also be IP banned.
Bypassing a Permanent Mute
If you have been permanently muted you are not allowed to bypass your mute through /mail, writing on signs, writing in books, using an alt account, etc.
Crashing the Server/Players
Please do not create harmful contraptions that will cause the server to crash or spread harmful items that will cause players to crash, this will be seen as abusing exploits. You may be banned for admitting to crashing the server.
