The rules are:
- Documented on our forum.
- There when you join.
- Forcing you to agree with them when you join.
That button which says "I have read and agree to the rules" isn't just there for the hell of it. It's not really effective, as proven - but at least it can be said that when they broke the rules, they had to specifically agree to them first - regardless of if they took notice or not.
That should be the one, and only chance they get. ZARP administers differently to other communities, and that's something you have to deal with, no two communities will operate 100% the same: we're tougher and focus on justice through appeals. More of a "guilty until proven innocent" rather than "innocent until proven guilty" -
although I'm by no means saying we go and ban people without proof nor reason.
Edit: The following is my personal opinion of TNG. I am not speaking on behalf of ZARP or anyone inside, but I would feel that most would agree in saying this.
If a community owner is
that desperate and immature that they cause trouble and drama before leaving to their own community, and ultimately copy ZARP's rules and templates (Yup. ZART's old post is archived, but we can restore it if you so desire,
look at their rules - hmm, notice any resemblance?)
Heck, just because they've got a few thousand subs which they scrounge a few players through - doesn't mean to say that they're immediate specialists in running communities. I'll say again, if they can't be bothered to take the time to write their own rules - what makes you think that they will dedicate to their community, regardless of if you see their ban system more appeasing to you?
