PUNISHMENT LADDER
For most violations your punishments will look as follows:
FInal Warning (Kick) → Short Temporary Ban → Longer Temporary Ban → Even Longer Temporary Ban → Permanent Ban
You will probably not be IP Banned. IP Bans are issued only to really severe violations for example duping. Any kind of duping will result in you getting an instant permanent IP ban.
APPEALING
You can always appeal your punishments by opening a support ticket on the website.
