Is this punishable in anyway? by lactify January 6, 2015 at 11:01 PM UTC

So, I wanted to know if this is punishable. As in punishable I mean a kick, maybe even a temp-ban (although I don't think it's possible)

Is saying things like "Omg, sky is in hub 1, go out there before he goes punishable? Because your spreading lies and it is sort of advertising and your trying to make players leave forcefully. Is it /report able?

 Thanks

This is very well considered "scamming" by lying to players.
So yes, this may be punishable.

Yes! It definitely is. Its known as Scamming :D

Misleading (or Scamming) others is against the rules and depending on the situation can lead to the offender being kicked or banned.

Ok thanks! Also, is it better to take a screenshot of when they are scamming because once they join (if they do eventually join) they won't do it again? Or is /report fine?

Yeah this the same as someone spams "Press alt F4 for free diamonds!!!!"

Always take screenshots.
You will definately have proof that way.

But if they're persistant, you can /report.

Will do! Thanks for the help!

Yeah, feel free to then report them online. If the player is continuously doing it /Report should work just fine

Was your first post necessary as the question had already been answered by 2 people including a mod.

When I wrote my response, (to me) no-one had responded yet.
Unfortunately, I was doing other things and by the time I had posted it, two people did it before me.
