POLICY 18 has been updated to clarify a few points between the "first time" offense and offenses that proceed after it. The first time offense is specifically for people who have NEVER been warned before. After that, you fall into the first actual offense. Warnings will always be applied every step of the way, as they serve as an important counter when staff reviews an account. This is a change from the previous installment as some confusion was being generated and it was causing some players to misunderstand the first time offense.

A quick word on warning tallies. Don't be too concerned if you do receive a warning at the first time offense. This step is just to introduce you to POLICY. It will not cause any further issues if you're not warned for this sort of gaming behavior.

The other big addition is lockouts will be reviewed a case-by-case instead of being automatically applied at a specific level.

I'm pretty sure Forging is a scam to get Gemstone players to either get banned from scripting violations or quit out of boredom. Perfect weapons are like Lee Harvey Oswald; they're released from time to time to keep players off of the real scent. But I see the truth. GMs are S'Kra Mur! Manna Bread is people!
