# Punishments

### **All punishments must follow according to the number of repeated offenses on record.**

Ban and comm (communication) ban records do not stack the offense level.\
They are different than one other.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Offenders must be warned first before handing out any punishments. You are required to give a reason why punishment is required.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, we do not have a system that tracks how many offensive records a player has. Be sure to check [Source Ban](https://bans.titan.tf/) once you have punished the offender and edit the duration if necessary.
