Punishment

1st OffenseFormal warning, the gangs involved must stop teaming
2nd Offense7 day ban for the players involved
3rd Offense30 day ban for the players involved

Leaving people alone is fine. You never have to attack anyone, and letting a solo player or another gang mine in peace is not teaming.

Friends in different gangs can still trade, talk, and lend each other items like a pickaxe.

What is not allowed is gangs working together against another gang.

One group of players gets one gang. A second gang made of your alts counts as a separate gang teaming with yours.

Teaming reports are handled case-by-case. Bring screenshots or clips if you can.
