Punishments and appeals
More actions
Punishments and appeals covers how rule violations are handled on Prosperity SMP and how to appeal a decision. The rules themselves are on Server rules.
How reports are handled
Staff investigate every report using CoreProtect logs and other server records — block changes, container access, and chat are all logged. You don't need screenshots for grief: the logs show exactly what happened. Report issues in the Discord.
Punishment ladder
Punishments scale with severity and history:
| Violation | Typical outcome |
|---|---|
| Minor chat violation | Warning or mute |
| Griefing (first offense, small) | Rollback + warning |
| Griefing (repeated or large) | Temporary or permanent ban |
| Hacking or exploiting | Permanent ban |
| Scamming | Refund to the victim + temporary ban |
Grief is always rolled back — victims don't stay harmed regardless of what happens to the offender.
Appealing
Every decision can be appealed on the Discord:
- Open a ticket (or message staff) with your in-game name and what the punishment was.
- Explain your side — honestly. Logs are checked against appeals, and honesty materially helps.
- A staff member not involved in the original decision reviews it where possible.
Appeals are about fairness, not loopholes — a clear, honest appeal for a first offense has a good chance; repeat offenses and hacking rarely do.
