Dear Moderation Team,
In game I am currently in charge of a raider group called The Brotherhood and based out of The Cathedral. During our time we have not had a rule infraction that I know about. We have had a lot of new recruits join and we want to train them so that we can continue to enjoy the game without breaking any of the rules. One method of training I was considering was to have some of them intentionally break rules and report it to the Moderation staff immediately to see the repurcussions in action.
All training is done in safe regions that we founded for training purposes so no casual bystanders will be involved. I'm sure you won't have a problem cracking down on our noobs for real infractions even if the purpose is educational. My question is to what extent will you crack down on them since this is a training exercise and the point is to illustrate to new raiders NOT to break game rules?
Maybe this would be a better question with a hypothetical. Say we have one of our trainees move two nations into our training region and apply to the UN with both nations. We advise Moderation the breach is about to happen beforehand, and we report at the time of offense. Would the punishment just be the deletion of the two offending nations, or more broad? Also, would the infraction count against the player in terms of being cited as a 'history of abuse'?
This training notion is still in the planning phase and nothing has been done yet, so it can be changed to fit suggestions here, or dropped altogether if the Moderation team doesn't approve. Again though, the real point of this execise is to impress new recruits with the importance of following the rules.
