A lot have said you felt unfairly punished or whatever, we have punishment appeals for a reason. We don't just have punishment appeals because we like punishing you guys and want a ton of punishment appeals, no! We want partyzone to grow, we want to not punish players, but we have rules also for a reason to keep our server a safe and family friendly environment and when players break the rules and we just let them without punishment just simply telling them often doesn't work and they'll continue to break that or whatever many rules because they'll think it is okay because we aren't punishing them or really telling them it is against the rules. We have punishment appeals because us staff our humans and we do make mistakes and we do accidentally punish sometimes without realizing we did it so punishment appeals also help us fix our mistakes of us falsely punishing someone. Obviously that isn't always the case sometimes we do correctly punish so you can't just take what i'm saying now that we always falsely punish because we don't more times than not we punish correctly. So really if you get punished make an appeal because it could really help you and all. Also we punish people when we have to, not for fun. We don't just punish people cause we think it is fun, because it really is NOT fun punishing someone but I have to do it when they break the rules or else they'll most likely think it is fine to do it.
As well if there is a staff member you really feel is abusing their power we have a staff abuse report thing right here for that reason. We take staff abusing their power seriously so if you honestly feel like a staff member is abusing their power or doing something you don't think they should be doing we have a report for that so they don't get away with it.
As for our punishments, I get you want more leniency. But it is hard to give you more leniency or figure out how to fix this issue when you aren't giving us anything really to go off of, because our punishments as a whole i don't see a problem with. But if you guys said certain punishments you want more leniency we would be open to talk about that but really i don't think we need to fix our whole punishment system when we have, appeals, reports, and staff who are all willing to have a private conversation with you about punishments and all that.
I will say this I love partyzone community and all its players but sometimes i do agree us staff and players don't always see eye to eye on things, part of it this is a lot of players (not including ex-staff) don't understand what staff have to go through and deal with and all the hard decision and i am not trying to make this seem like staff are the victim because i feel like neither side is the victim. A part of why we have to punish is because people decide to break the rules and we as staff if we didn't do something when someone broke the rules they'd just probably continue to think it is okay. I've seen people say there friends quit because us staff punished them. First off, it is their choice to quit we didn't make them they could have appealed, as well they must of done something against the rules to receive that punishment in the first place so they can't be all victim type as they did break the rules, but if you are in that situation where your friend wants to quit because of a punishment tell them to appeal and if they did and got denied tell them to message the staff member because i know as a staff personally we would be totally willing to have a private conversation with them.
So please just tell us what certain punishments you want changed or fixed and we will try our best to work out something with you guys as I don't think personally we can't do anything unless you help us with what type of punishments you want to talk about changing with us because us staff i'm sure will be willing but we can't do it unless you help us.
