{{Term-stub}}
An [[account mark]] is an administrative mark placed on a player's [[account]] by a [[game master]] in order to tag the account for "infractions" (breaking the Code of Conduct). A mark is meant as a warning and it results in a ''temporary'' blocking of the account. The length of the block period increases with every added account mark, and eventually will result in a [[ban]].

==Types of infractions==
There are two kinds of infractions (misbehavior):

#Naming infractions:
#*Offensive or otherwise unacceptable [[character]] names
#*Offensive or otherwise unacceptable [[guild]] names.
#In-game infractions:
#*Inappropriate in-game behavior – such as obscene talk or behavior, abuse of another player, or harassment
#*Repeating in-game [[chat]] ("flooding")
#*In-game linking to inappropriate websites
#*Taking advantage of another player ("[[scam]]ming") in order to take their items or account
#*Abusing game [[exploit]]s
#*Advertising cheats, hacks, and exploits
#*Using, developing, releasing or promoting a "[[bot]]" program.

For naming infractions a player may submit an "appeal" to the Game Masters if they feel that a block is unjustified. For in-game infractions '''no''' appeal will be accepted.
