As mass-accepted by the administration, new procedures are in place for ADMINISTRATORS ONLY

When instructed by an administrator, you will act unless the directive is irrational (i.e. instructing someone to break the posted rules)

A player will not taunt the administrators, or disrespect them by telling them to shut up under any circumstance.

If taunted, a player will receive the following warnings:
a 10 minute ip mute describing the incident
a 10 minute ip ban describing the incident
a 30 minute ip ban describing the incident

If problem persists, a closure of the offenders current account will ensue. Based on severity and past conflicts, this ban may vary in duration. If enough bans stack up, the account may be closed indefinitely.

We are here to do a job, not be harassed by the playerbase we police.

Being mass-accepted by the administration, please read this new procedure!

If you are caught publicly insulting/harassing/abusing an administrator, you will be muted for up to a week.

Donor+'s are to make an abuse report instead of muting the player(s) themsleves.

If you have been muted 3 times for this offense, you will be permanently IP banned from EchelonedWoW. (3 strikes rule)

Administrators are here to maintain peace and assist players - you have no right to harass them while they are doing their job.

Effective as of the time of this post, all Donor+s must create an Abuse Report topic in the correct realm's forum for all mutes that they place.

The report should consist of:

Name: The account name of the person you muted.
Reason: Why they were muted
Duration: How they were muted
Evidence: Evidence supporting your mute - most likely a screenshot(s).
Comments: Anything else you want to say

ANY DONOR+ THAT PLACES A MUTE WITHOUT AN ACCOMPANYING REPORT WILL HAVE THEIR COMMANDS RESTRICTED TEMPORARILY.

A separate forum for Donor+ mute reports will be created this weekend.
