* /trigger_restart <seconds>: schedule a graceful restart w/ warning

== GENERAL MODERATION POLICY ==

=== Gameplay Violations ===
* Things like theft, griefing, etc.
* Standard of proof is "reasonable suspicion".
* Moderators may make a decision based on incomplete or circumstantial evidence.
* Contact Warr1024 for a log search (within 5 days of incident) for a log scrape if needed.
* Standard penalty for non-repeat offenses is loss of interact privs

=== Chat Violations ===
* Minor offenses like spam, excessive swearing, etc. warrant a warning.
* Note that mature language IS allowed on the server, so we ask people to tone it down if kids are present but generally don't consider it a violation.
* Standard penalty is revocation of shout privs. Players can still DM to appeal.
* Major stuff like racial slurs, sexual harrassment, stalking, etc. can escalate immediately to a ban.

=== Penalty Durations ===
* We don't have mods for automatically ending temporary penalties right now.
* Standard duration of any punishment is "until moderators decide to end it."
* Players can appeal if they have additional evidence, or if events were misinterpreted.
* Players can apologize and a moderator can grant a second chance.
* Moderators may choose to end a penalty preemptively at their own discretion.
* Ultimate responsibility for earning back privileges is on the player.
* All repeat offenses can escalate to additional or more lasting priv loss, up to & including ban.
* Serious violators may lose their right of appeal if e.g. they need to be banned from all means of contact.
