New Rules, Profanity Filter and Ranked Skywars
G'Day,
I am here to catch you up on the things we have been working on.
Today we updated the ranked SkyWars queue, to ensure fair gameplay in this game mode we've implemented a ranked ban system. Based off your feedback, specific bans (for now just watchdog, blacklisted modifications and exploiting) will prevent you from playing ranked this season and the next. This means that if a player gets banned for Blacklisted modifications or a watchdog ban they will not be able to play ranked skywars for the rest of the season or the next season.
We decided to roll this now rather than wait for next season because we think a fair game is crucial. You will also see this fair gameplay idea in our new rules which will be released very soon.
We have done a review of the rules and have listened to feedback, this has led to us developing some new rules. These will be released around the same time as the Profanity filter. This is to allow players to understand expectations and rules around chat and the use of the profanity filter. More details regarding this will be given out when the profanity filter goes live on the server.
