What did the Staff Member(s) do?: I had a base, i put down a sign that says "BUiLDING" , he warned me for having raidable items in building base and loopholing. The rule says it needs to say "BUILDING" not building in any sort. its not loopholing or anything because its not what the rule said

What server(s) was this on?: server 2

it says it needs to be spelt "BUILDING" not building , which has a huge difference

It never says you need caps lock in the rule and has never been the case if it was spelt "building" it was valid.

You were warned for a valid reason. The punishment that I gave you is appropriate for your actions, maybe in the future you should follow the rules then this situation wouldn't occur.

It says large font, this is referring to in game text-screen font size. The capitalized factor does not matter at all when a building sign is placed, as long as it is spelled correctly. But I do agree that this rule could be clearer.

This is definite loopholing.

1. There is no rule stating that the sign has to be exactly 'BUILDING"
2. You broke the rule, you deal with it.
3. BUiLDING counts as a building sign.
4. The rule states it needs to be in LARGE font. Doesn't mean it has to be capitalised.
5. The rule also states that it needs to be spelt as 'BUILDING.' Not EXACTLY.
6. This is logic.
7. Too many points.
8. Others, including me use 'Building'. What you're saying is that they can simply add raid-able entities in their base because of an invalid sign?
9. This warning is valid, your reasoning isn't.

I made a suggestion to change the rules regarding this!

It does say large font, which can be commonly confused with capitals.

From this report, it seems like he did not intend to loophole, and was trying to use the rules to his advantage while staying within the rules, but made a mistake.

Why do people put building signs up... To stop people raiding...

Actually, loopholing is bending and altering the rules for personal gain. He was trying to stay within the rules while still gaining personally. However, he was unaware what he did was against the rules, as I mentioned before. It's an easy mistake to make. Under your definition of loopholing, there would be so many admins and players I could report, but I haven't, because your definition of loopholing is incorrect.
