Towny Specific Rules

These rules are for Town/Nation Leaders and Residents (every player). Town/Nation owners are responsible for adhering to all rules, breaking the rules may result in your town being transferred or deleted especially if you are banned.

General Towny

• Do not set any homes or warps in a town that isn’t your own
• Unless you have written permission or you can get permission when asked for it by a staff member. 
• If the person who permitted you to set that home changes their mind, you must remove the home or warp. 
• Homes must be set 50 blocks away or more from a town without permission
• Do not abuse your town permissions, This includes, but is not limited to:
• Stealing from residents or accessing their plots without permission
• Purposefully making the town fall or go into ruin
• Greatly increasing tax with no prior notice
• Kicking players from your town for no reason (no activity for a month is generally fine if they haven’t been notified, if not wait for the auto 2-month purge. We may be able to help with a town review on request to advise on what to do)
• Losing a plot due to tax is given back to the town, the town can then do what they wish with the plot.
• Towns that fall to ruin lose protection and are subject to looting.
• Do not intentionally interfere with a town’s expansion or design. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Joining a town or convincing someone to trust you in their plot/town with the intention of grief.
• Destroying pre-made houses without permission.
• Ring claiming another town, or purposefully destroying the outskirts of a town.
• Do not spam invites or send invites to players who have not shown interest in joining your town
• Talk to players first and if they want to join your town then send an invite. 
• Respect player's choices if they don’t want to join.
• Do not constantly harras someone who has said they do not want to join
• If you want to grow your town, we suggest having it as an open status so players can join without an invite. Or join the Discord and set up a town post.

Town rules

• Towns can have their own rules, these rules cannot conflict with or violate the official TanukiCraft rules.
• Town rules must be sensible, kicking players from towns for unreasonable rules may result in punishment.
• If you want to enforce town rules they must be clearly displayed in your town spawn.
• Attempt to escalate your town rules using methods such as fines and jails before kicking. Fines must be within reason and clearly displayed on your rules.
• Players breaking town rules will not receive server punishments unless they have broken an official server rule.
• Many players like to have build rules in their town to keep to a theme. Do not change the theme drastically after a lot of builds have been made without the agreement of the majority of the town. (for example, starting with medieval then a few months of building suddenly want modern). 

Town Ranks and Plot Trusting

1. Be responsible for who you trust in either a town rank or town/plot.
2. Only add ranks or trust players your trust.
3. Abuse of rank permissions is punishable.
4. Abuse of trust may be reported, however, we will take each report on a case-by-case basis, and only severe abuse will be punished. For example, if you trust a player in your plot to work together and they use diamonds to make some armour to help, they may have not stolen. We reserve the right to close any report.
5. Plot and town trusts only extend to the player that trusted you, if you have a town trust you can only gain access to areas which the town owns and is not owned by another resident.
6. Town and Plot trust only applies to the account it was given to, if trusting alt accounts this must be done per account.
7. Leaving a town or plot you forfeit anything left in your plots. If you want to move towns or plots then attempt to take as much as you can or get others to help.
