Certain Faction Claim methods are called abuse. This is because these claim patterns are used by players with the malicious intention to disrupt the game play of other people, as well as bloat their claim beyond what is reasonable. Staff have specific responses to these kinds of claim abuse, which are all detailed below. Keep in mind, Staff do not patrol Dynmap every day. It is important for players and faction members alike to make in game tickets to report any claim abuse that they are aware of in order for it to get fixed. Staff are not omnipotent and aware of every claim abuse at all times, and need the help of the players to stay on top of it all.
As always, these rules are subject to change pending players finding ways to work around them. These rules apply for claims that are largely completed, meaning no-one is actively claiming currently to fix the claim. If a claim stays unchanged on dynmap for over an hour, it is considered not being actively claimed, and liable to staff intervention.
For any further Claim abuse not depicted above, for example: Surrounding another faction with claim land, surrounding an island's coastline with claim land but not its interior to create the illusion on Dynmap that the entire island is claimed, or unreasonable faction claim shapes, there are no instant punishment regulations. Staff will in such "grey zone" cases always contact the faction owner to come to some sort of solution to what we consider claim abuse, and will only resort to removing claim forcibly if the faction owners are un-cooperative. There will be no further punishments extended to faction members or owners for abusing claim power aside from the potential forced removal of their claims. If a faction however continues to push staff patience and renew claim abuse, the offending person who claim abused the world will end up banned.
