Chat Bans
When simple chat bans are given, the accounts receive a chat ban based on a progressive system starting at 2 hours; and follows this pattern: 2, 2, 4, 4, 8, 8, 16, 16, [hours]. Eventually with enough chat bans it will turn to invisibility (see below).
...
Invisible bans are different. The moderators can see those players chatting but the rest of the players cannot. Those players that are invisible can only Private Message players they have done contracts with and there's a 50% chance they are blocked from making a new PM with a new player.
This is what an invisible looks like in chat:
It is grayed out. Only moderators can read these messages.
...
Reasons for Chat Bans:
Offensive Content - Cussing in chat. Skirting the filter. Bullying other players. Playing inappropriate pranks/jokes in chat.
