Notes:
Sanctions can result in a loss of rank. Unfortunately, we cannot replace the ranks in this case, so we ask for your understanding.
A mute, warning, kick or ban is never unfounded.
A warning or mute is a means of moderation to point out a mistake and to ask you to carefully study the rules again.
In particularly serious cases, the MTB-G team can also initiate a user report to the Discord Trust and Safety team. This can then have far-reaching consequences for the user beyond the MTB-G server.
