Policies that governs the moderation and appeals of our platforms.
Sections
Effective Date(s):
June 28, 2024
Last Updated:
January 31, 2025
IMPORTANT: These policies ONLY applies to the Free Builders Union and NOT to Free Build, or FBBC's owned platforms.
If you are banned on one of our platforms for any given reasons then you will be automatically banned on all of our platforms inorder to terminate your ability of use in accordance to our Community Terms, while the moderation or investigation process is underway. You will be contacted by staff if theres any further inquiries we may need from you.
At the Free Builders Union, we moderate and apply it to user actions based on either of these 2 main procedures:
Varied Procedure
Warnings may not be issued to certain varied situations based on the severity on such result of action.
A ban appeal may also not be offered in certain circumstances, similar to no issued warnings.
You will still have a ban reasoning issued afterwards, regardless if you were banned from our platforms prior.
Standard Procedure
Users who violate any of the rules in the Community Terms will receive up to 4 warnings before a given ban is placed.
Upon a ban, the user is allowed up to 2 appeal applications regarding their ban. No more than that.
Those who are banned are to show respectful behavior to staff and appeal what's being asked. Any unserious/bad behaviors will result in cancelation of your appeal and permanent ban from our platforms.
Moderation Appeals
If you believed that the staff that banned you was still wrong (after 2 denied appeals) you can request to appeal to our staff, they must have a majority decision (50% or more) inorder to revoke your ban. Put some effort into this.
This option does not apply if you're banned from appeals for any unserious/bad behaviors.
This option may also not be offered in certain circumstances under the Varied Procedure.
Those still banned before June 28, 2024 will remain banned, as all decisions had been finalized.
However this option excludes those who are on the ban blacklist as they cannot appeal.
