Moderation and appeals
Actions we can take
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Warning | A notice shown in game and recorded on your account |
| Mute | Stops voice and text chat in the game until unmuted |
| Kick | Removes you from the current server |
| Temporary ban | Blocks you from all State of Madison servers until the end date |
| Permanent ban | Blocks you from all State of Madison servers until lifted |
Every action records the moderator, the reason, the time and where it was issued (in game or the moderation panel). Actions issued from the panel reach the game within about a minute. Bans apply across all servers using Roblox's ban system.
Seeing your history
Sign in to mod.stateofmadison.com to see your full history, your current standing, and the status of your appeals and reports. Overturned or removed actions stay visible to you, marked as overturned or removed, and no longer count against you.
Appealing
- You can appeal any active warning, mute, kick or ban from your history.
- Explain what happened in your own words. You can include links to clips or screenshots from common sites; other links are removed for safety.
- A moderator who did not issue the action reviews it where possible. They may reply with questions in the appeal thread.
- Decisions are approved (the action is overturned and any ban or mute is lifted automatically) or denied (the action stands). Every decision includes a note.
- If an appeal is denied, you can appeal the same action again after 7 days.
Reporting players
- Report from the game menu or from the moderation site. Include what happened, when, and evidence if you have it.
- The reported player is not told who reported them.
- You can follow the status of your report. To protect everyone's privacy we tell you whether action was taken, not what it was.
- False or abusive reports are a breach of our Terms of Use.
Notifications
If you signed in with Discord and have Discord direct messages turned on, we message you when an action is issued on your account, when a moderator replies to your appeal, and when your appeal or report is decided. Staff alerts in our Discord server contain only a reference number.
