We will give 3 warnings/strikes depending on the severity of the incident. Generally, any incidents after 3 strikes will result in a mute. After you are muted multiple times, you risk a permanent removal from the server. If the behavior is severe, an immediate mute/ban will be given. Severity is decided at the moderator team’s discretion. Keep in mind that misbehavior on Discord may also affect your Art Fight account.

In general, the point is to make a conscious effort to obey the SPIRIT of the rules. Be kind to each other. Be patient with each other. Be mindful of the information you share with others. Listen to staff. 💙
