While each online platform has its specific rules and regulations, here are several recognized actions that can result in a temporary or permanent ban on Planet Minecraft. While many of these guidelines might seem intuitive, if you're unfamiliar with online social media, they will be beneficial both on this platform and others.
1. Repeated Offenses
Even if a singular offense might not lead to a ban, continually violating platform guidelines can escalate penalties up to a permanent ban.2. Harassment and Bullying
Targeting individuals, making threats, or continuous negative behavior towards others is unacceptable our platform takes seriously.3. Posting Explicit or Inappropriate Content
Sharing adult content, violent imagery, or anything clearly unsuitable for a younger audience is grounds for a ban. Planet Minecraft has an audience that is skewed towards the younger side, 13+ and you are therefore expected to keep things age appropriate when interacting with our members.4. Impersonation
Posing as someone else, whether it's another user, online personality, a moderator, or an official representative of the platform, is misleading and can lead to a ban. If it's clearly presented as satirical, then we may allow it. However, if the person being impersonated disapproves of the satire, we will shut the account down.5. Scamming and Phishing
Attempting to deceive users for personal gain, whether it's for virtual items or real-world benefits, is a major offense and grounds for an account lock.6. Distributing Malicious Software
Sharing links or files that contain viruses, malware, or any other harmful software is a ban-worthy offense on almost every platform.7. Spamming
Constantly posting the same message, advertising, or flooding the platform with irrelevant content will lead to a ban. Bot accounts are locked.8. Promoting Hate Speech or Discrimination
Content or remarks that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or discriminatory in any other manner are strictly prohibited.9. Exploiting bugs or Cheating
Using bugs, glitches, or third-party software to gain an unfair advantage or disrupt the platform's normal functioning can result in a ban. Please report bugs via ticket.10. Exploiting the Community for Profit
Joining the community solely to sell content without genuinely participating or contributing can be seen as taking advantage of the platform's users. Our Platform values genuine creators and contributors, and those who are only present to profit without giving back can harm the community's spirit and trust.11. Sharing Personal Information
Distributing another individual's private information without consent, often referred to as "doxxing," is a severe violation. While it's your choice, we discourage sharing your own personal information online.12. Posting Stolen Content
Uploading or distributing content that you did not create or do not have permission to share is a breach of community trust. Stealing work from other creators and presenting it as your own not only disrespects the original creator but also undermines the integrity of the community.13. Excessive or Inappropriate Use of Profanity
While occasional mild profanity may be overlooked, using strong language, especially in titles or directed negatively towards others, is unacceptable. Excessive or aggressive use of profanity can create an unwelcoming and hostile atmosphere and may result in a ban. It's essential to maintain respectful communication within the community, ensuring a comfortable environment for all members.Banned Accounts
Temporary bans of varying lengths depending on severity or repeated offense. Bans remove privileges to:- Post Content
- Create Groups & Jams
- Make Guest Book Posts
Locked accounts
Locked accounts are different than bans. A locked account will kick and prevent all access to the account. In addition, other members will be unable to view their profile.Appeals
Banned and Locked accounts can be appealed by opening a ticket.| info | Our platform guidelines are put in place to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and respectful environment for all users. Familiarize yourself with the specific rules of our platform and report any suspicious or harmful behavior you encounter. |

i would be dead right now
If you don't like swearing, not my problem. Simply look at something else. I'm not trying to get banned and moderated everyday for profanity, may I add, this site isn't even made for kids, so I don't see an issue seen as older people tend to swear alot but nobody cares. I've seen before that people have been banned for being underaged, proving my last point about kids not being able to use the site, so honestly, I don't see an issue with swearing. Like I said, don't like swearing, don't bother me.
Everyone who works at these companies are adults. Many are over the age of 50. You know, older people who tend to swear a lot.
And you know what I see? I see them toning it down. I've heard them using profanity when we are outside of work, but they understand context and the rules of the place you are interacting in. They also do this not because they are worried about children, or even religious reasons. They do it because they understand that just because you can use profanity, doesn't mean it is always required.
Now, if you disagreed with those company policies, what would you do? Would you stay, and fight it only to get fired? Or would you quit? Or would you follow their rules?
All of these outcomes apply to PMC. If don't follow the website policies, you'll get banned for it. If you disagree with the policies, then don't use the site (read our Terms of Use). Or, you just accept that these policies are the way they are even if you disagree with them.
Point is, what's the problem with swearing?
I wouldn't call those vivid expressions though. "Deification blessed by a higher power! That was amazing!". And I won't translate the second one, but you get the idea. It is impassioned expression, not vivid. Unless you're going for blessed poo, then cool!
Try and consider the definitions of the words first. A lot of definitions for profanity are subject matters that are inappropriate for PMC, hence why we limit how much those words are used (your 2nd example).
We never said there was a problem with swearing. We said there was a problem with excessive swearing. This happens when you either use profanity more than is necessary to be "vivid", or you direct profanity at someone else. It isn't about the swearing, it is about showing respect for others.
This list isn't comprehensive -- there are other ways to receive a warning or ban that aren't outlined here, but can be found within the full rules page if you want to dig deeper and understand the rules more completely.
In regards to swearing, we do not have hard-and-fast rules which explicitly state how much profanity one is allowed to use, or which words are or are not off-limits. We expect users to not excessively make use of profanity, and to never use it in a negative way directed at another member -- especially not for the purposes of inciting a negative response from the other person(s) in question.
2 Etiquette
Members are expected to practice proper etiquette while interacting with the community.Please do not
If you would like to question, in a more formal capacity, the specific case in which you were moderated for profanity, you may visit the tickets section to get opinions from the rest of our site team.
If you need me to elaborate further on something, please reach out -- I'll assist to the best of my ability.
