Rules and Safety

Core conduct

• Respect players and staff; harassment, threats, hate speech and targeted toxicity are prohibited.
• Do not impersonate staff or advertise unrelated communities.
• Use the correct route for reports, appeals, trades and support.
• Do not grief, scam, exploit or manipulate systems.
• Staff may act on harmful edge cases not exhaustively listed.

Fair gameplay

• No x-ray, automation, reach or combat assistance.
• Do not duplicate items or keep gains from a known fault.
• Build farms and redstone responsibly.
• Do not bypass claims, combat restrictions, wagers or purchase limits.
• Ask staff before using unusual macros or clients.

Account safety

• Use a unique password and verify email.
• Review active sessions in Account Settings.
• Staff will not ask for passwords, recovery codes or full payment details.
• Use official links only.
• Report compromised accounts promptly.

Reports and appeals

Private reports should include facts, dates, usernames and unedited evidence. Appeals should explain why a decision should be reviewed without attacking staff or players.

The exploit boundary

Not every unexpected bug becomes misconduct the moment it happens. The important boundary is what you do after you recognise that a behaviour bypasses an intended cost, limit, protection or reward condition.

Intentionally repeating, hiding or profiting from a known fault is materially different from encountering it once and reporting it.

• Stop after the first clear abnormal result.
• Do not move gains through other accounts or players.
• Do not publish reproduction steps in public chat/forums.
• Report privately with enough detail for staff/developers to reproduce safely.

Appeals are reviews, not arguments

The purpose of an appeal is to give staff a structured reason to reconsider a punishment. The forum thread remains the player-facing conversation, while internal evidence or wider investigation can be linked to a moderation case if necessary.

• State what decision you are appealing.
• Explain what you believe was wrong, disproportionate or missing from the original context.
• Add relevant evidence once rather than repeatedly reposting it.
• Do not harass the staff member, reporter or other player involved.
• Wait for the review instead of opening duplicate appeal threads.

How to interpret server rules

Rules describe the behaviour the server is protecting, not a list of loopholes. If a new mechanic produces the same unfair outcome as a prohibited exploit, the absence of that exact mechanic name does not make the behaviour acceptable.

• Use normal gameplay intent as the baseline when a new feature is not explicitly named.
• Stop when a mechanic starts duplicating value, bypassing protected state or giving obviously unintended access.
• Ask staff privately when a high-value action sits in a genuine grey area.
• Do not publish exploit reproduction steps in public forum threads.

Account and trade safety

• Staff do not need your password, recovery code or payment credentials to help you.
• Use official SkaiaCraft links for voting, Store checkout and account recovery.
• Use protected trade flows for valuable exchanges where available.
• Report impersonation, account compromise or private safety issues through Support.
