2. Do not flood the chat with repetitive or similar messages that are short in length, non-English language characters, ALL CAPS, or gibberish.

Reroll Inventory Policy
1. If you die from any natural causes in the game, we will not perform a reroll, even if the server's TPS is 20 at the time of your death.

2. Any in-game requests for a reroll sent to Discord will be reviewed solely by the owner, who will have the authority to approve or deny them. Each request will undergo a thorough investigation into the circumstances of your death.
3. If any staff member determines, with reasonable certainty, that a duplicate occurrence was the direct result of exploiting the reroll policy, the responsible individual shall incur an immediate and non-negotiable two-week suspension.
