You will NOT be compensated if you are the victim of a scam as there have been too many players in the past that set up fake scams in order to be compensated for things that they never truly had. When a scam is reported with good enough proof, we punish the guilty party accordingly unless we are able to get them to pay back whatever they have scammed.
Use /trade for safe trading.

PvP is on server wide, but can be toggled on and off per player using /pvp.
No tp killing, trapping or attempting to kill if PvP is disabled.
No spam killing yourself or others. This will be seen as spam and/or harassment.
No camping at a players’ home or base.
If you have PvP turned on, this means you have consented to PvP and as such we will not compensate any lost items due to PvP death.
If you don't want to PvP, don't toggle it on.
Punishment:
Depends on the case. Admins can be asked to teleport camping player.
