Server rules
By playing on Pokeplex you agree to follow these rules. Staff can punish offenses not listed here when they clearly fall within the spirit of a prohibited action.
The rules apply on both the Minecraft server and the Discord. For Discord-specific rules, check the rules channel there. Punishments range from a warning to a permanent ban, scaled by severity and prior infractions.
You are solely responsible for your account and any activity that occurs on it. Never share your login credentials or password with anyone.
To report a player, open a ticket on Discord. To appeal a punishment, use the private appeal page.
