Game & community rules

Violations, penalties, restitution, and staff contacts.

The Traditional Chinese version governs. All other languages are supporting translations only.

Types of harm

Classify the direct target of the harm, then determine penalties from the evidence and impact.

Harm to the service

M – UR

Direct harm to Catnip or CatRealm security, fair-play systems, operations, or official identity.

  • Cheats, service abuse, system attacks, or exploiting vulnerabilities.
  • Official impersonation, multiple accounts, evading restrictions, or transferring improper gains.
  • Promoting competing services to redirect, recruit, or invite players.
  • Unlawful conduct identified by a judicial authority.
  • Fraudulent or otherwise improper purchases of points or in-game products, including impersonation.

UR may apply on the first violation if grounds for immediate termination under the Catnip Terms are met, following the required notice procedure.

Harm to the community

M – SSR

Property, trade, building, interaction, and speech disputes between players.

  • Trade fraud, counterfeit goods, or theft of items or coins.
  • Damage, explosions, unauthorised building, or interference with private and public facilities.
  • Inappropriate speech, spam, insults, harassment, threats, false rumours, or privacy violations.
  • Attacks outside PVP, traps, or event disruption.

Every violation is addressed according to its circumstances. UR may apply only from the third violation for the same cause onward, if violations continue despite notice to improve.

Penalty levels

Every violation is addressed according to the evidence and impact. Unless grounds for immediate termination apply, the first violation prompts a notice to improve; failure to improve or repetition of the same cause may result in gameplay restrictions.

1-day mute
LM
7-day mute

Returns and compensation

Complete returns, repairs, or compensation within the reasonable deadline set by staff. These duties remain after a penalty ends; the method and scope depend on actual damage.

Return property

Return stolen, fraudulently obtained, or unjustifiably held items and coins. If return is impossible, compensate based on verified facts.

Repair damage

Restore buildings, terrain, and facilities. Staff may restore data directly; restored damage is not compensated twice.

Compensate for losses

Measures may include items or coins, corrections, content removal, or an agreed apology in a designated forum.

Remove improper gains

Staff may confiscate evidenced improper gains, including items and coins, and return them to victims where appropriate.

Seven basic rules

Equivalent harm is assessed on evidence.

Fair play and automation

  • Do not use cheats, scripts, or unauthorised features—such as KillAura, Reach, X-ray, Fly, blueprint printers, bots, or removed mining cooldowns—to gain an unfair advantage or bypass normal settings. A report still requires investigation and does not automatically excuse the conduct. A test may go unpenalised only if it is verified as being in good faith, the tester stopped immediately, no impact was expanded, no one else's data was accessed, and no benefit was obtained or retained.
  • Auto-click, hold, and fishing may be used only within the announced scope in ordinary worlds. They must not obtain benefits unattended, evade restrictions, or affect fairness, and are prohibited in team rooms, PVP, events, and any separately restricted area.

Accounts, economy, and trades

  • No laundering, using multiple accounts, assistance in evading restrictions, or transfer of improper benefits. Simultaneous login is irrelevant. Accounts may not be shared, transferred, or traded, and real money, external virtual currency, top-ups, or boosting may not be advertised or traded.
  • Player trades require identifiable agreement, terms, and performance. Threats, fraud, counterfeit goods, unjustified non-performance after receiving consideration, and refusal to return benefits with no contractual or legal basis may be addressed on the evidence. CatRealm does not guarantee player trades.

Minors and adult content

  • Do not distribute sexual, obscene, or other 18+ material through text, images, voice, signs, names, skins, or any other visible content, or send unsolicited indecent content to another person.

Property, buildings, and access

  • No theft from private or public containers, farms, or facilities; unauthorised damage, changes, or construction on private or public buildings; redstone, portal, or mechanism interference; or entry into and use of clearly restricted private areas or facilities.
  • A public area does not make its property free to take. The function, structure, and access of public warps, farms, and facilities are protected; theft, obstruction, damage, or unauthorised building there is assessed more seriously by its actual impact.

Player interaction, PVP, and events

  • Do not attack, harm, or kill players outside PVP areas, or harass, provoke, or obstruct play through traps, illegal teaming, portal blocking, confinement, repeated invites, littering, or malicious naming.
  • Do not manipulate, damage, or disrupt events, contests, team rooms, or public facilities. Separate notices for PVP, events, or special modes also apply.

Community speech, promotion, and privacy

  • No spam, repeated mentions, public insults, threats, discrimination, malicious rumours, or persistent harassment. Do not distribute content promoting self-harm, violence, hatred, sexual material, malicious false attacks, political propaganda, or religious hostility.
  • Do not promote forms, Discord groups, or other servers to redirect, recruit, or invite users, including by providing connection details or repeated comparisons. Context, audience, intent, and actual impact are considered; an objective mention alone is not automatically promotion.
  • Do not expose non-public personal data or publish or use another person's information, images, or protected work without permission.

Reports, investigations, and administration

  • Reports must truthfully identify the parties, events, grounds, and available evidence. Malicious false reports, fabricated or concealed material facts, evidence destruction, threats, and abuse of report, support, feedback, or voting functions are prohibited.
  • Administrators may request further evidence or statements. Parties should stop ongoing conduct and preserve records. Good-faith criticism, reasonable questions, appeals, and constructive proposals are not violations merely because they are negative.

Case handling

Staff decide on evidence; player feedback informs the review.

  1. Receive and preserve

    Receive reports and preserve records. Use anonymity or redaction when needed to protect reporters and witnesses.

  2. Notify and hear the parties

    Invite statements, evidence, and improvement. No response within a reasonable period does not prevent a decision on available evidence.

  3. Initial staff review

    Identify the category, level, and restitution; record evidence and reasons.

  4. Player-report feedback

    Consult eligible players. Feedback must respect the applicable levels and must not harass the parties.

  5. Review and decide

    Review feedback and new evidence; communicate the result and reasons. Votes alone do not decide cases.

  6. Enforce, restore, and hear appeals

    Apply penalties and confirm restitution. Appeals, corrections, and notice follow the Catnip Terms.

Limits and appeals

Duration and repeat offences

Each gameplay restriction lasts at most 7 days. Do not split one act to evade limits or repeat thresholds. Preservation is not a penalty, but any actual gameplay restriction counts toward the limit.

Settlement and review

Returns, repairs, or settlement do not automatically excuse violations or reverse penalties. Staff still review the evidence to decide whether to reduce a penalty or close the case. Findings may be challenged with evidence. Good-faith criticism, questions, and appeals are permitted.

Administration

Staff follow the same rules.

Private reports

Contact a leader or administrator with the parties, time, events, and evidence. Submit staff-misconduct evidence directly to System; involved staff must recuse themselves.

Staff conduct

Unjustifiably ignoring cases, arguing, spreading rumours, favouritism, abuse of authority, or harming Catnip or CatRealm may lead to removal from office and a separate penalty after verification.
