'''''Please note <u>any</u> compensation requests are carried out on a goodwill basis by our voluntary staff in due course. Their decisions are <u>FINAL!</u>'''''


'''''ALL COMPENSATION REQUESTS WILL REQUIRE EVIDENCE/PROOF OF ITEMS YOU ARE SEEKING COMPENSATION FOR. ANY COMPENSATION REQUESTS LACKING EVIDENCE WILL BE DENIED.'''''
Please note that compensation requests are carried out on a good will basis by our voluntary staff team. Their decisions are '''<u>final</u>''' - any abuse/discord following a declined request will not be tolerated.

[[File:CompRequestClaimMan.jpg|right|frameless|672x672px]]
All compensation requests '''will''' require evidence to process. Unsubstantiated compensation requests will be declined. Sometimes staff members will require additional information in relation to your request - they will ask for this on your compensation request post on the forums.
 
It is '''your responsibility''' to track your request and respond to these questions. Failure to do so within a reasonable timeframe will lead to your request being denied.
 
Staff will use their best judgement when dealing with your compensation request. Each request is processed on its own merits - how previous similar compensation requests are handled bear no weight.
 
Compensations are not dealt with in discord tickets.
 
== Compensation Circumstances ==
The below lists are not exhaustive, and are used purely as guidelines. Please exercise common sense.

* Being scammed within roleplay
**This is an in-roleplay issue - you will not be compensated for voluntarily giving away money.

**If you attempt to rob another player, but they fail to value their life and hand over their items - this cannot be compensated for.
