What we expect from everyone on Titan, how moderation works, and what to do if you think we got a decision wrong.
Last updated
These rules apply to everyone using Titan. They are designed to be clear enough to follow without needing a moderator to interpret every sentence.
They sit alongside Titan’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and any additional rules published for a particular server mode, event, or feature.
You must be 16 or older to hold a Titan account. The Privacy Policy explains how that is applied.
These rules apply to:
They can also apply to conduct elsewhere when there is a clear and substantial connection to Titan.
Examples include:
We do not moderate the entire internet and will not intervene in unrelated private disputes merely because the people involved happen to use Titan.
Off-platform enforcement must be based on reasonably reliable evidence and a meaningful connection to this community.
If you remember nothing else, remember this:
Attempts, assistance, solicitation, and deliberate facilitation may be punished even if the underlying offence does not succeed.
Titan is a 16-and-over community, which still means a mixed-age one: some of the people you are talking to are sixteen and some are forty. Conduct yourself accordingly.
Disagreement is allowed. Criticism is allowed. Strong disagreement is allowed. You may criticise an argument, a moderation policy, a build, a gameplay decision, an idea, a rule, or Titan itself. The line is crossed when criticism turns into prohibited conduct directed at a person.
Do not use slurs, degrading stereotypes, or hateful content targeting a person or group because of characteristics including:
Saying that prohibited language was a joke, was ironic, was used among friends, or was not intended to cause offence does not automatically make it acceptable.
Our moderation team may consider context when deciding severity, but context does not automatically make prohibited language acceptable.
Do not harass other people.
Harassment includes:
A single severe incident may be harassment even if it is not repeated.
Do not:
Context matters. A clearly fictional or harmless discussion is a different thing from a targeted statement that could reasonably be read as a threat.
The line is crossed when a discussion becomes targeted personal abuse, harassment, threats, or another violation of these rules.
Our moderation team may lock or restrict a discussion that has become unmanageable. Locking a thread does not necessarily mean the team has decided who was correct.
Titan admits members aged 16 and 17, who are minors. Sexually explicit content is therefore not appropriate anywhere on Titan.
Do not post, send, upload, display, or distribute sexually explicit material through Titan. That applies to:
Do not engage in:
Ordinary inappropriate language should not automatically be classified as a safeguarding offence merely because somebody under 18 was present. The conduct and its context are what decide severity.
Do not publish, distribute, threaten to publish, or maliciously use another person’s private or identifying information without their permission.
This can include:
Information being technically discoverable somewhere on the internet does not automatically make malicious republication acceptable.
Do not threaten to expose another person’s private information in order to:
The threat is the offence. It does not become acceptable because nothing was ultimately published.
Do not publish private conversations primarily to humiliate, harass, threaten, or incite others against someone, or to expose private information that serves no other purpose.
You may provide screenshots, recordings, or other evidence in good faith to:
When you report something privately, strip out unrelated private information where you reasonably can. Do not post evidence publicly when reporting it privately would achieve the same thing.
Public Titan spaces should stay broadly suitable for a community that includes 16- and 17-year-olds.
Mild swearing in ordinary conversation is generally tolerated.
Moderation may follow for:
Do not deliberately disrupt chat or forums through:
Do not intentionally evade Titan’s moderation or safety filters. That includes:
Trying to evade a filter may be treated as an aggravating factor.
Public moderation channels must use languages our moderation team can reasonably moderate.
Default launch policy: public general channels use English unless a channel is specifically designated for another language.
Other languages are welcome in designated channels and private conversations, provided the content still complies with these rules.
Rules applying to chat also apply where reasonably relevant to:
You cannot avoid a content rule merely by putting the content somewhere other than chat.
Do not knowingly distribute:
Links intentionally shortened or disguised to hide a suspicious destination may be removed pending review.
Do not use software, hardware, modifications, resource packs, scripts, macros, external tools, or game features to obtain an unfair gameplay advantage prohibited by these rules.
A tool is generally prohibited when it:
Unless explicitly permitted for a particular mode, prohibited tools include:
A client whose primary purpose is cheating or which bundles prohibited cheat functionality may itself be prohibited, even if a player claims not to have enabled a particular module.
Our moderation team should not punish someone merely because ordinary software is technically capable of automation.
Enforcement should be based on the software’s nature, configuration, actual use, reliable detection, or other reasonable evidence.
Unless a mode says otherwise, the following are generally acceptable:
Accessibility accommodations may be approved where a tool would otherwise technically fall within a restricted category but does not create an unreasonable competitive advantage.
If you are unsure, ask before using it.
Only a published rule or an approval from a member of our team authorised to make rules decisions should be treated as an official exception.
Where possible, obtain approval in writing.
Permission may be revoked if the behaviour or capabilities of a tool change.
Do not knowingly exploit bugs or vulnerabilities for an unfair advantage or to damage Titan.
This includes:
If you discover a serious exploit, stop using it and report it privately.
Reasonable testing necessary to establish that a bug exists may be considered differently from deliberately exploiting it for gain or disruption.
Do not publicly disclose a serious vulnerability before our security team has had a reasonable opportunity to secure it.
Do not intentionally:
Do not build machines whose primary purpose is to cause excessive server lag.
An ordinary large farm that accidentally creates performance problems may be handled differently from a machine deliberately designed to degrade the server.
Do not buy, sell, broker, or exchange Titan:
for real-world money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, goods, services, assets on another server, or anything else of real-world value — except through an official Titan system that expressly permits the transaction.
Do not act as a middleman for prohibited trades.
Official purchases are available only through Titan’s official store, and what a purchase does and does not buy is set out in the Terms of Service.
Titan cannot protect, verify, or refund unofficial transactions.
Unless the mode you are playing expressly says otherwise, these are the defaults.
The dividing line is player input. A hopper sorting your chests is a machine; a script pressing your buttons is you not playing.
A particular mode may publish stricter or more permissive rules, and those control for that mode — see Mode-specific rules.
Unless the rules of your current server mode explicitly permit it:
An attempt to grief or steal may still be punished even where protection systems prevent the damage.
If the mode does not clearly say a behaviour is permitted, assume the protective rules above apply.
Deliberately deceiving someone in a trade in order to take their property without providing what was agreed is treated as theft or scamming.
Ordinary misunderstandings, pricing disagreements, or failed negotiations are not automatically scams.
Our moderation team may consider:
Where a server mode expressly allows PvP, raiding, stealing, looting, destruction, or similar mechanics, that mode’s published rules override conflicting provisions in this section — see Mode-specific rules.
Launch requirement: permitted modes and their rules must be linked here.
If you are unsure which rules apply to the mode you are playing, check its published rules before acting.
Our moderation team may restore stolen items, damaged property, lost currency, griefed builds, or other losses where reasonably practical and the evidence supports it.
Restoration is not guaranteed.
Backups and logs may be incomplete, and our team is not required to recreate every item or build manually.
The possibility of a rollback does not excuse griefing, exploiting, or theft.
Do not intentionally:
You are normally responsible for activity performed through your account.
However, our moderation team may consider credible evidence that an account was compromised, stolen, or accessed without permission.
If you believe your account has been compromised, report it as soon as reasonably possible and secure the associated credentials.
Alternate Minecraft accounts are permitted unless a specific mode says otherwise.
Do not use an alternate account to:
Knowingly providing an account to help another person evade a punishment is also prohibited.
Our moderation team should distinguish legitimate shared networks or households from ban evasion. Sharing an IP address alone is not conclusive proof that two accounts belong to the same person.
Unless our team approves otherwise, each person may maintain one active forum identity.
Do not create duplicates to:
Accidental duplicate registrations should be reported rather than concealed.
Use a unique password and enable available security protections.
Nobody on the Titan team will ever ask you to provide your password. See our team page.
You must be 16 or older to create or hold a Titan account. Titan applies this everywhere, including where local law would allow a lower minimum.
Do not:
A parent or guardian cannot give permission for somebody under 16 to hold an account.
If Titan determines that an account belongs to someone who does not meet the age requirement, the account may be closed and associated personal information handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, and applicable legal obligations.
Do not deliberately advertise or promote competing Minecraft servers through Titan.
This includes:
Incidental discussion of another game or server is not automatically advertising.
Context and intent matter.
Do not use Titan primarily as a source of members for another competing community.
Unsolicited mass recruitment, deliberate member-poaching, or repeated invitations to leave Titan for another server or community are prohibited.
Normal private friendships are not prohibited. Inviting a friend to an unrelated personal group, game session, charity event, project, or social space is not automatically recruitment abuse.
Videos, streams, screenshots, builds, guides, and other content featuring Titan may be shared in the appropriate places.
Do not spam self-promotional material into unrelated discussions.
Do not post unsolicited:
unless Titan has expressly designated a place where that content is permitted.
Titan maintains an official team list. Everyone who holds a role here is listed on our team page.
If someone claims to represent Titan, verify them through that list or another official Titan channel.
Our team may contact you through official Titan systems for legitimate moderation, support, security, or account matters.
Do not trust an unsolicited message merely because the sender claims to be on our team.
Verify unusual requests through an official channel.
Do not:
Obvious jokes that cannot reasonably deceive anyone may be treated differently, but “it was a joke” is not a defence where someone could reasonably have been misled.
Do not repeatedly derail public chat or threads to argue an individual punishment.
Use the appeal process.
This does not prohibit reasonable discussion of moderation policy in an appropriate forum.
Do not repeatedly approach different members of our team hoping to obtain a different answer after a moderation decision has been properly reviewed.
This does not prevent you from:
Everyone on our team is subject to these rules.
Reports concerning a member of our team should be reviewed by someone who is not the subject of the complaint and, where practical, by someone with sufficient seniority or independence.
Nobody may close or decide a complaint about their own alleged misconduct.
Use Titan’s reporting tools where available.
Reports should contain enough information for our moderation team to identify what happened.
Where possible, the system may preserve:
Reporting someone does not give you permission to retaliate.
A person who was provoked may still be moderated for their own response, although provocation may be considered when our moderation team decides severity.
Submit one report per incident unless our moderation team requests more information.
Do not repeatedly file the same report merely to move it up the queue.
Do not knowingly:
An incorrect good-faith report is not the same thing as a malicious false report.
Do not threaten, harass, target, punish, expose, or intimidate someone because they:
Retaliation may be punished separately from the underlying incident.
You may not be told what punishment another member receives.
Privacy and account-security considerations may limit what our moderation team can disclose.
A lack of disclosed outcome does not mean the report was ignored.
If someone appears to be in immediate real-world danger, contact the appropriate emergency or safety service first where it is safe and appropriate to do so.
You may then notify Titan so relevant records can be preserved and appropriate platform action considered.
Moderation decisions may rely on reasonably reliable evidence including:
No single category of evidence is automatically conclusive.
Our moderation team should consider reliability, context, consistency, and the possibility of manipulation.
Players must not knowingly destroy, fabricate, or falsify evidence during an active investigation.
You are not required to confess to something merely because our moderation team asks you a question.
However, do not deliberately provide materially false information, fabricate evidence, impersonate another person, or knowingly mislead our moderation team about facts relevant to an investigation.
A deliberate material lie may be treated as an aggravating factor or separate offence.
Do not destroy evidence during an active investigation.
Minor mistakes, misunderstandings, inability to remember, uncertainty, or good-faith disagreement are not automatically lying.
Moderation actions should be recorded against the relevant account with:
Internal moderation notes may be retained where necessary for moderation, security, safeguarding, fraud prevention, or administration.
Warnings may carry points based on seriousness.
Active points may expire after a defined period.
Some especially serious categories may remain active indefinitely.
An old warning can remain in the historical moderation record after its points stop contributing to current thresholds.
A retained historical record is not the same thing as a permanently active punishment.
By default, forum and in-game moderation records are scored separately.
An in-game mute does not automatically create a forum restriction, and a forum restriction does not automatically prevent someone playing.
Serious misconduct may affect more than one Titan service where there is a legitimate moderation, safety, security, or integrity reason to do so.
Cross-platform consequences must be an intentional moderation decision rather than an automatic side effect unless a published rule expressly states otherwise.
Accumulated active points may trigger increasingly serious restrictions.
Possible actions include:
A sanction should state its duration or whether it is permanent.
Earning additional points later does not silently change the duration of an already issued punishment unless a new moderation action is imposed.
Titan does not have to publicly disclose exact point values, decay periods, or automated thresholds.
Members should not be required to acknowledge a warning without being able to see the immediate consequence attached to it.
Titan may require acknowledgement of a warning before normal posting or gameplay features become available again.
Acknowledgement means only that the warning was displayed to you.
It is not:
You must remain able to review and appeal an eligible warning while acknowledgement is outstanding. You can always reach the privacy policy even while a warning is outstanding.
Progressive discipline is a default, not a guarantee.
Serious misconduct may result in immediate suspension or permanent removal without prior warnings.
Examples may include:
The phrase “anything involving a minor” is not itself an offence. Serious consequences depend on the nature of the conduct.
Members should be able to view the user-facing portion of their moderation record at your warnings page, including:
Internal moderation notes, security-sensitive information, private reports, or information identifying another reporter or witness do not have to be disclosed through the normal warnings page.
Do not intentionally help another person evade a Titan punishment.
Examples include:
Assistance must be knowing or deliberate. Merely interacting with someone who later turns out to be banned is not automatically an offence.
A rule can apply even where the prohibited result does not occur.
Our moderation team may act on:
where there is sufficient evidence of intentional conduct.
Preparation alone should not be punished as an attempt unless the conduct clearly moves beyond ordinary discussion or innocent activity toward carrying out the violation.
If you believe a moderation decision is wrong, use the formal appeal process. Open your appeals page to review your warnings and restrictions, submit an eligible appeal and read the decision.
A suspension should not prevent an eligible member from reaching the appeal system.
A warning may remain appealable after its active points have expired where removing the underlying finding would still meaningfully affect the member’s record.
Titan may limit duplicate appeals and impose a reasonable cooling-off period before the same decision can be appealed again.
A new appeal may be considered sooner where genuinely new evidence becomes available.
Where practical, the person who issued a contested punishment should not be the sole person deciding its appeal.
Appeals concerning severe sanctions should be reviewed by a suitably senior or independent member of our team.
A person with a material conflict of interest should not decide the appeal.
Explain specifically what you believe was wrong.
Useful grounds can include:
An apology may be relevant to leniency where Titan permits it, but an apology alone does not establish that the original finding was incorrect.
Do not threaten, harass, or abuse our team or anyone else during an appeal.
Criticism, disagreement, and firm argument are permitted.
Abusive conduct may be moderated separately, but an appeal should not be rejected merely because the appellant strongly disagrees with the decision.
If a punishment is overturned:
Where a punishment is reduced rather than fully overturned, the record should reflect the revised decision.
A particular Titan server mode may publish additional rules of its own.
Where a mode-specific rule clearly conflicts with a general gameplay rule on this page, the mode rule controls for that mode. A mode may expressly permit:
That works in one direction only. An exception has to be published to exist. Do not assume a mechanic is permitted because Minecraft technically allows it, because another server allows it, or because nothing on this page names it specifically. Where a mode says nothing, the general rules above apply.
Moderation requires Titan to keep certain records.
The Privacy Policy explains:
Moderation records remaining stored does not necessarily mean expired warnings continue counting against an account.
These rules may change.
Significant changes should be announced through an official Titan channel.
The “last updated” date should always reflect the current published text.
Unless required for safety, security, law, or platform integrity, members should generally be judged under the substantive rules that applied when the conduct occurred rather than being punished retroactively under a later rule.
Procedural changes, such as changes to how appeals are submitted, may apply immediately.
If two rules appear to conflict, the more specific rule for the relevant server mode or feature normally controls — see Mode-specific rules.
Rules should be understandable to the people expected to follow them.
If you genuinely do not know whether something is allowed, ask before you do it. A reasonable question asked in good faith is never an offence, and our moderation team would far rather answer it than undo it.
These rules cannot list every possible form of cheating, exploitation, harassment, fraud, punishment evasion, or harmful conduct. Our moderation team may act on conduct that is clearly comparable to something prohibited here, or that clearly defeats the purpose of these rules.
That discretion is not a blank cheque. It must be exercised reasonably, consistently, in good faith, proportionately, and on reasonably reliable evidence — and any decision made under it is appealable like any other.
The reverse also holds. Reading these rules narrowly to find a wording gap, and then doing the thing the rule obviously exists to prevent, is not a defence. Deliberately exploiting an ambiguity may itself be moderated.
