+====== The GM Codec ======
-April 8, 2017
 In the past GM’s have had to take action with no clear set of defined punishments outlined. This Codec is an attempt to make a uniform set of instructions on how to deal out punishments in situations. Some of these also apply to Chat Moderators. I am making this Codec a post that is available to the public so there can be no confusion between staff and players on how a situation was dealt with. This Codec may need tweaking and adjustments from time to time, so we reserve the right to make any changes at any time.
 In most cases we do not need to moderate chat. Usually just letting someone know via a PM that they are getting a little out of hand is enough to temper a situation. However in the case the community is being disrupted and the player refuses a verbal warning the following is the rule thumbs on chat mutes:
+===== Mutes=====
 First offense 1 hour mute.

 th offense ticket a GM for a ban punishment.
-In the situation a ban is needed, which again is not often though somtimes the case arises. These are reserved for particularly disruptive community members, known repetative exploiters and the like. In many cases dropping a few of Xype’s Secret Service on them is a more desirable punishment. If a ban is needed and issued, Xype should be alerted so that any website orders the player has done can be looked into to determine if there are any viable for refund. Any GM issuing a ban can not be overturned by any other GM other than Xype, all apeals for any ban or chat mute must go through Xype to be overturned, however it is very unlikely he will overturn any GM decision as he already made careful considerations on who is staff, and they have his full support.
