# Server Rules

## Welcome to XileRO! For everyone to enjoy their time here, we ask that you follow these server rules. Violations may lead to penalties or bans.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**You will be warned before any action is taken, unless the first/only offense is a ban instead of a mute.**
{% endhint %}

* If seen action is consecutive, the warning will be waved. Only the punishment and notification of why will be provided.
* *If a Game Master requests you to stop, please listen-- Or face a mute time of 3 hours or more. No arguing just understand we want the game to be pleasant for everyone.*
* All rules are subject to change without notice or announcement to players. *So check back periodically as ignorance is not an excuse!*
* Understand that each report and rule broken are left to the judgement of that GM, so punishment(s) will vary on a case by case basis.
