Permanent and Wipe Punishments#

Some offenses are considered severe enough to carry a permanent punishment or a progress wipe.

Ban Evasion#

Attempting to join Repeat SMP using another account while banned is considered ban evasion and may result in a permanent ban.

Doxxing and Private Information#

Publishing, threatening to publish, or distributing another person's private information is prohibited and may result in a permanent ban.

Severe Exploit Abuse#

Severe or deliberate abuse of an exploit may result in a permanent ban and progress wipe, particularly when the abuse harms the economy, server stability, or other players.

Duping and Macros#

Duping, macros, and scripts may result in both a ban and a wipe. An appeal should explain exactly what occurred and identify any affected items, accounts, or transactions.

Special Appeal Situations#

Inappropriate Skin

Change the inappropriate skin before submitting your appeal.

In your ticket, confirm that the skin has been changed and provide your Minecraft username so staff can verify it.

Disallowed Mods or Texture Packs

Remove the disallowed modification or texture pack before appealing.

Include the name of the modification, what it changed, and confirmation that it is no longer installed or enabled.

Open a Ticket on Discord

A punishment message may specifically instruct you to open a Discord ticket.

Join discord.gg/repeatsmp, open the appropriate support ticket, and include the punishment message shown when you attempted to connect.
