The Strike System

Permanent strikes (aka permanent warnings) will be issued as punishments in response to actions that warrant one. If you are a good community member, you will likely never receive a strike.

Strike Punishment:
• 1st Strike - A simple warning.
• 2nd Strike - A last chance warning.
• 3rd Strike - Permanent ban from the server with a chance to appeal after 30 days.

Strikes can also be removed from a player by having good behavior for an extended period of time.

Advertising

We support players in our community who want to grow their channels and branding. We're doing that too! But we want to ensure that when you advertise yourself, it's related to FishOnMC.

If you are linking the channels, videos, or streams of a (non-mainstream) Minecraft creator, you must adhere to these restrictions:
• If linking a creator, the creator must have made content for FishOnMC

• Don't advertise excessively
• Don't link to creators, videos, or streams that break any of our rules

We want you to be able to share content in a way that's fair for both sides. If you want to become a verified creator through our services, make a ticket in our Discord and we'll discuss it.
