Frequently Asked Questions

How we deal with scams:

The type of scamming we do not allow is when someone promises you that they'll buy you something from our BuyCraft store (e.g Premium Rank) if you give them items, but then end up not doing their part of the deal when you finally agree (Or vice versa). In this case, once reported, the scammer will be punished.

Please note that we are not responsible for your actions. Any items lost as a result of you going ahead with a trade cannot be refunded. In some cases, we may refund lost cash as a result of a trade scam.

How we deal with account sharing:

Account sharing is against our rules. If you choose to share your password with other players, we are not responsible for what happens to your account. Your account is strictly your responsibility.

Sharing your account means:

• Your ability to change your password may be affected.
• Your ability to recover your account in the future may be affected.
• Your account may be suspended if the other player breaks any of our rules using your account.

Please note that we will ban any accounts that we suspect are "public" and/or are being abused. If your account falls victim to this type of ban, you may appeal the ban and further instructions will be provided to you depending on the situation.

How we punish players:

Punishments are issued at our discretion. Punishments can range anywhere from verbal warnings to permanent IP-Bans. Punishments stack no matter what account you use. If you break any of our rules on any account all of your records from all other accounts will be considered when deciding what punishment is most appropriate for the situation. Generally, we try to keep chat related punishments to a short duration mute, although that can change and/or escalate depending on the situation. 

How you can report a player:

There are three ways for you to report other players:

1. Report them here on the forums: http://www.minebuilders.org/index.php?forums/reports.5/
2. Report them in-game using the /report command.
3. Report them in our Discord's #reports channel: https://discord.gg/7R8C26M

We encourage you to use /report in-game whenever possible.
