The Problem is not the rules, nor the availability of the mods.Its the usual thinking of "Ha i can get away with it since the Gm here are soft" <--- (No Offense intended) Solution: Create Public Fear and awareness that the GM and Mod Team are there to enforce the rules, via making punishments more severe.Just Like a kid that you wip with the belt and tell him what he did was bad, same logic applies to most players in the game.Also to the point that repeated offenders might get tired of the "rule enforcement" and leave server might be an even better outcome purging the "crap people that plague our community with their drama and trouble starting".
This is How i would force the rules on the community.
(and yes im a strict guild leader)
1rs warning: verbal warning then 5 Minute Mute.
2nd Warning : 30 Min Mute <--- seems rough but has to be done to enforce the rules and make sure they follow em.
3rd warning : Mute 30 Mins more and Jail for 2 Hours.
4th warning : Ban for 3 days On repeated instances of rule breaking.
This is how i would set up the rules, rather strict yes but effective and basically the gm team would never be looked down on and forced respect will be ensured.Since its human nature that man respects the stronger man. (or fear)
Never forget the old days.
