Member Plus Strike Policy
Throughout all of the orientation Materials, you probably noticed statements regarding "abuse of this privilege can result in your removal from the [You must login to view link] voluntary program" or some other variation of the same idea.
We do not like to remove tokens, but as the facilitators of the [You must login to view link] voluntary program, it is our responsibility to ensure that all Voobly Member Pluses abide by the Code of Conduct by [You must login to view link] and that users, that violate intentionally the Code of Conduct are subsequently removed.
For the majority of abuses of [You must login to view link] Member Plus privileges, the Member Plus in question will be notified that he/she has been given a "strike" or warning. We feel this is the best thing to do given that at times, Member Pluses break the CoC because they did not clearly understand the rules, and we feel that these Member Pluses deserve a chance to get it right. If a certain number of strikes accrue within a certain amount of time, however, then the Member Plus is removed. After a set amount of time of "good behavior" strikes will no longer be associated with a particular Member Plus account.
Please note, to best protect your Member Plus account, we strongly encourage you to keep records of the use of any Member Plus privilege. More specifically, it's best that the logs are kept for one month and that they have at least 50 lines of chat history preceding the use of a command. Additional information by way of screenshots is helpful as well. When in doubt, it is better to have too much information in your logs, than too little.
Why the focus on logging? Well, as needed, you may be asked to provide information pertaining to a specific use of a privilege. We receive numerous logs from users, some of which are not 100% accurate. We do our best to verify the concerns expressed, based on information that [You must login to view link] keeps, however that is not always enough. As such, additional information is sometimes needed. Bear in mind, as always, we will act on information that is verifiable. If you do not have logs of specific uses of Member Plus privileges, it could result in a strike. As such, we strongly recommend that protect your Member Plus account and that you keep logs (50 lines of text or more) whenever you use a command on another user.
This process applies to actions on [You must login to view link] and [You must login to view link] services as well. [You must login to view link] Member Plus accounts and player nicks will be subject to this process.
Of course, certain infractions will still result in an immediate removal of one's token. These infractions include:
- Incidents considered to be illegal activity are exempt from the Strike process as it can constitute an immediate threat to all users.
- This would include, but is not limited to posting of sexual content, destructive links, or hack attempts - will not be reinstated into the program.
- Using tools on another Member Plus (this type of infraction is up to the discretion of the Voobly Committee Lead and will be reviewed before a final verdict is made).
- Suspected hacked accounts will still be pulled in order to prevent abuses by a would be hacker - will still be able to re-enroll into the program upon review.
- Usage of any Member Plus tools while the game is in progress. This rule won’t apply, if the game is part of a tournament and played in a [You must login to view link] tournament lobby, where the tournament host has decided to end the game.
- Violations of the Traffic-Light-Protocol (TLP) (this type of infraction is up to the discretion of the Voobly Committee Lead and will be reviewed before a final verdict is made).

- Hunt delete (AoM/AoT specific): Placing a building foundation over an opposing player's hunted animal, causing the animal to be deleted.
- Wallchips bug (AoM/AoT specific): Wall chips (1x1 wall segments) are forbidden to be used, except four wallchips around each of the starting towers.

-
- This violation also includes what is termed "extreme camping" to avoid inevitable loss (e.g. Aztecs camp inside their castles vs ranged civ while playing CBA / CBA Hero, etc.). Any delaying tactic with such obvious intent (stalling long enough to convince players to quit the game) can be an example.

The rating history must clearly show multiple games using this method (no matter if one player or more were implicated in manipulating the player's account). The games played are usually, but not always below 10 minutes, and statistics may show that the game was not played normally.
This violation also includes sharing accounts with the intent of point-trading as well as when a player is resigning deliberately right before claiming victory in a rated game in order to manipulate his own rating and usually done to keep his rating low.
