This PSA is about the following, Warnings, strikes, and Bans. Now, before we start, we are NOT directly in with Team Amino, so no, we can't actually see why you received a strike, warning, etc specifically.

If you want to know why you were struck, warned, or banned (on an alt. ) then your best bet is to email them.

Now! Let's get into the PSA! :two_hearts:

Warnings

~Warnings are issued before strikes, at first you are given a verbal warning by one of the mods, if you've continued your actions, you'll receive a warning. A warning is given to s as a first offense, either they did something against the guidelines like spamming the chat, being rude to other , etc.

~ These will be issued on separate initial rule violations. If your existing record shows that you have a warning for harassment. (Or maybe a strike) Or you've spammed chats, spammed people, you'd get a warning separately for spam. Again, failure to adjust behaviour after this will result in strikes.

Warnings are also issued out when violations are not severe enough to be strikes.

Strikes!

~Strikes are given if you haven't adjusted your behavior, and are received usually after a warning (unless it was too severe for a warning, which is rare) Strikes put you on a temporary mute from the amino for 24 hours(You will still be able to view content normally, but you will not be able to interact via typing for the time you've been muted.) Strikes are usually received due to harassment, but can also be received from spam, continuous violations of the guidelines, Inappropriate behavior and so forth. Sometimes strikes are automatically given due to behavior and a warning is given based on how severe what the person in the receiving end has infact done.

Bans!

~Bans are issued usually when a member s solely to , but also when have continued their actions, actions that typically result in bans are Pornography, continuous harassment, call outs, etc. When you have two strikes and or multiple warnings, or you've done a genuinely awful thing (as judged by multiple mods) If you have been banned and have created an alternative to come back, we will ban those s immediately. Creating other s with the purpose of entering the amino after banning is a violation of our rules and we will take action. Whether you've created an to ask what you did wrong, that alternative will still be banned as soon as it can (although CIVIL discussion about something to do with your main being struck/banned is allowed. We will ask you to delete the when talking is finished or we will ban it ourselves).

~ In addition, anyone under the age of 13 (16 in the EU) will be banned immediately, as they are underage for the app. It is banned by Team Amino, and you will most likely be banned from Amino as a whole if you've ed underage.

~ Inappropriate names (that we've requested you to change) if they've not been changed, we give every anywhere from 1-5 days, if they refuse to change their profile name (they'll be hidden during the time of being asked to change the name) they'll be banned due to Inappropriate names.

~ s that are altered to impersonate a is against the rules. If you are simply impersonating us via the same graphics e.g. same name and profile picture and you are not actually doing anything, your profile will be hidden and you will be told to change your profile ASAP (within the time limit of 24 hours). Failure to change your profile will lead to a warning issued and then furthermore strikes. If you are impersonating us graphically AND pretending to be a mod action wise e.g. commenting, messaging others etc, that will be an instant ban.
