2.4 Discussion of the administration's actions. To resolve any issues, please use the following means of communication:
 
  • A moderator — using private messages
  • Our support service and the administration — via the private message system on social networks or the in-game Support button
 
2.5 Encouraging other players to violate these Rules and providing links to sites containing resources or programs prohibited by these Rules will be treated by the administration as explicit violations of these Rules and Code of Conduct and dealt with accordingly.
 
3. Violations
 
3.1 Any player who violates the Rules for in-game chat will be warned by a moderator. In case of gross or repeated violations, the player's access to chat will be restricted for a period of time, which may vary depending on the type of violation.
 
3.2 It is up to the Kingdom chat moderator to determine the duration of any ban applied to an offending party.
 
3.3 In case of repeated or systematic violations of the Rules, the offending party's access to chat may be restricted permanently. Furthermore, in some cases, the offending party's game account may also be blocked.
 
4. Moderators
 
4.1 The main task of a moderator is to monitor other Community members' compliance with these Rules.
 
4.2 Moderators have the right to restrict an offending party's access to chat if they spot any violation of these Rules.
 
4.3 Users who deem a moderator's decision to be unfair may refer their case to the game's administration. In this case, it is mandatory that the user takes screenshots of the conversation that led to their access to chat being restricted.
 
4.4 If players within a Kingdom deem that a moderator is abusing their power, the same procedure as in 4.3 shall be followed.
 
4.5 Players must remember that moderators are volunteers, which implies that they may not always be available.
 
4.6 If a moderator is not online, but violations are taking place in Kingdom chat, players must take screenshots of these violations and then contact the administration either via game support or via Facebook private messages.
 
4.7 Hindering communication with a moderator, e.g., blocking private messages from the moderator, is prohibited.
 
5. Netiquette
 
5.1 The official language of the game community (i.e., the game's website, community, and other social networks, such as Facebook) is English. If you do not have an English layout for your keyboard, please use the relevant dedicated resources to translate your messages (https://translate.google.com/). This does not apply to Kingdom chat itself.
 
5.2 Communication shall be based on mutual respect. All members of the community are equal, regardless of their game experience, age, or the number of messages they have posted. Any violations of this principle will be dealt with by the administration and moderators as described above.
 
6. Administrative Resolution
 
6.1 By joining the community, players thereby agree to these Rules. Being unaware of the Rules is not a valid excuse for a violation thereof.
 
6.2 Moderators may edit or delete posts that violate the Rules without notifying the relevant user.
 
6.3 The administration reserves the right to change these Rules without providing prior notice to the members of the community (but we'll try to avoid this).
 
6.4 Controversial issues that are not specified in these Rules shall be resolved at the sole discretion of the administration on a case-by-case basis.
 
7. Neither the administration nor any moderator shall be liable for:
 
7.1 Any actions of players towards other players. We shall do our best to keep the community a safe and player-oriented environment. However, we shall not be responsible for the independent behavior of any player who seeks to harm another player.
 
7.2 The administration and/or moderators reserve the right at their sole discretion to deem whether or not players' activities are violations. If either the administration or the moderators fail to prevent or take any other immediate appropriate measures in case of a violation, that does not mean these measures will not be implemented at a later time.
