Server Rules
How the points system works, how punishments and bans are issued, and how to appeal.
Every account on LSPD:FR Online carries an account standing — a record of your conduct that tracks any warnings and punishments issued against you. This page explains how the points system works, how bans are handed out, how points clear over time, and what to do if you believe a punishment was issued unfairly.
When you break a server rule, a member of staff may take administrative action against your account. There are two kinds of action:
Almost anything that breaches the rules can lead to a punishment — from minor issues such as using non-English in public chat or ignoring a staff member's instructions, through to serious offences like deathmatching, hacking, ban evasion, or advertising. Staff use their discretion to decide the appropriate action based on what you did, its impact, and whether you've done it before, so the same offence won't always carry the same penalty. If you're unsure what is and isn't allowed, read the server rules in full — not knowing a rule is never an excuse for breaking it.
Points are the core of your account standing. Each points punishment adds a number of points to your account based on the severity of the offence, and those points accumulate on your record. The more points you carry, the more serious the consequences become.
Your ban length is determined by your total number of active points at the time of the punishment. The table below shows how points map to a ban duration:
| Total Points | Ban Duration |
|---|---|
| 1 Point | 1 Day |
| 2 Points | 2 Days |
| 3 Points | 3 Days |
| 4 Points | 4 Days |
| 5 Points | 5 Days |
| 6 Points | 6 Days |
| 7 Points | 7 Days |
| 8 Points | 14 Days |
| 9 Points | 30 Days |
| 10 Points | Permanent |
Points are not necessarily permanent. As long as you stay out of trouble, your accumulated points will gradually clear over time, slowly restoring your account standing.
Note that while expired points no longer count toward your active total or a ban, they are never erased from your record — your history will always display every warning and punishment you've ever received, including expired points.
You can review your account standing at any time in-game using the /history command. This opens your punishment history panel, giving you a complete overview of your account's conduct, including:
/history panel shows your account standing, active points, and when your next point expiresIf you are banned and you genuinely believe the punishment was issued wrongfully, you have the right to appeal it. There are two ways to submit an appeal:
Whichever route you choose, you must provide reasonable justification and evidence that demonstrates why you believe the ban is invalid. The more clearly you can show that a mistake was made, the better your appeal can be assessed.
