Hello everyone,
We have made some policy changes to our overarching ban policy and would like to communicate them to you all as best as possible.
Firstly, the changes in a nutshell:
Our rationale for these changes is the following;
We want the server to be fair for all players, and we understand that many of our veteran players were caught hacking when they didn't take the server seriously. This is why we have always given second, third and sometimes fourth chances to players for hacking. We have historically had one of the most forgiving hacking policies across any similar Factions or Drug server. Upon analysis and discussion, we decided that we no longer believe that a third or fourth chance is reasonable, and therefore will no longer be giving them. We still believe in giving players a chance, but will no longer tolerate players returning with cheats once given a second chance.
Secondly, our bans policy was too clouded in the terms of "Different" types of hacks. We had different offense counters for both X-Ray and PvP hacks - however, it's extremely uncommon for someone with PvP Hacks to not be using a complex hacked client, which almost certainly has X-Ray and other banned cheats. We have therefore entirely abolished seperate offense counters and will be issuing bans on a single counter for all hacking offenses.
We appreciate everyone who has ever contacted us to report players and provided us with evidence, and also those who have come back from their first ban with a new appreciation for the server and it's community, we strive to offer a fair and level playing field for everyone to Grow, Sell, Excel.

Firstly, the changes in a nutshell:
- All hacked client bans are 7 days for first offense and any subsequent second offense will result in a permanent ban.
- Speciality Mods ie. Auto Fishers, Auto Clickers or other mods which are against the rules but are not typically part of a hacked client (So we therefore cannot assume you have one) will result in an initial 3 day ban (This is more of a guideline than a policy, it will be up to the admin at the time and pending review. Meaning these bans can also be 7 days for first offense). If the player has a previous history with hacked clients, these mods will result in a permanent ban also.
- Farm Hacks (Mods which are specifically made for MCDrugs or similar servers which allow you to automatically farm) will result in a blacklist or permanent ban from this point forward.
