What Are Warns, Demorgan and Bans in Black Russia?

“You got a warn,” “you were sent to demorgan,” “you got banned”—three different punishments with different consequences. Demorgan means half an hour to two hours in isolation: it’s unpleasant, but that’s it. A warn hurts your faction career. A ban locks your whole account, for a set number of days or forever. Here’s what happens to your account with each punishment and how to appeal if you were punished unfairly.

Compare the punishments by severity

Here’s the general server-rules ladder, from mild to severe:

An account wipe deletes all your money, phone number, skin, vehicles and their license plates, real estate, transport or construction company, business, gas station, and inventory. Your family is disbanded too. The project blacklist blocks access to all resources except in-game chats, the official forum, and Discord.

Find out what a warn does

• You’re immediately removed from your faction if you’re in one.
• For 10 days, you can’t join any faction.
• After 10 days, you can join one again, but the warn stays on your account.
• Your third warn automatically blocks your account for 10 days.

You can get a warn for more than just RP violations. In government factions, you can get one for placing a wanted level or issuing a fine without an IC reason—that is, without an in-game reason (Police Department (УМВД), Traffic Police (ГИБДД), FSB); for a Police Department employee’s NonRP behavior; or for taking part in family activities while wearing your organization’s uniform. The administration decides whether to issue it. See the full list of rules in the general rules.

Appeal a wrongful warn the same way as a ban: submit an appeal on the forum.

Check how long you’ll spend in demorgan

In the rules, Jail means isolating a player in a designated place; in-game, that place is Fort Demorgan. Here are the time limits listed in the general server rules:

• 30 minutes — NonRP behavior (2.01), avoiding RP (2.02), NonRP driving (2.03), lying in /do (2.10), using work or faction vehicles for personal purposes (2.11);
• 60 minutes — DB (2.13), TK (2.15), SK (2.16), driving a work truck across fields (2.47);
• 90 minutes — DM (2.19); for law enforcement, dealing damage without an IC reason on your organization’s grounds (government organizations rule 1.11);
• 120 minutes — animation abuse, such as removing the weapon restriction in a green zone (2.55).

Demorgan also resets tasks. For example, according to the help guide, a car thief’s task disappears if you’re sent to demorgan before handing in the car. Find out what counts as DM and how to avoid those 90 minutes on the page about DM.

Know what gets you banned outright

• Scamming a player, including “taking their money and leaving the game”—a 15–30-day Ban or PermBan (2.05);
• Cheats and third-party software, including macros—a 15–30-day Ban or PermBan (2.22);
• Buying or selling in-game currency for real money—a PermBan, account wipe, and project blacklist (2.28); buying currency through the official website is allowed;
• Selling property or an account for real money—a PermBan (2.42);
• Advertising other projects, servers, or channels—a 7-day Ban or PermBan (2.31);
• Insulting someone or mentioning their family in any chat—a 300-minute Mute or a 7-day Ban (3.04);
• Six or more violations in 7 days—a 7–15-day Ban (2.39); text chat punishments and kicks don’t count toward this total.

The rulebook versions don’t always match. Under rule 2.04 (disrupting gameplay), the Russian version gives a 3-day Ban, while the English version gives a 10-day Ban. Under rule 2.02, the forum version says avoiding arrest gets you a Warn, then a 3-day Ban for a repeat offense; the help guide says Jail for 30 minutes or a Warn. Check the forum for your server.

Appeal your punishment on the forum

Choose the section based on whether you agree with the punishment:

• You disagree and think it was a mistake: “Complaints” → “Complaints Against Administration.” These are reviewed within 48 hours.
• You agree but want the punishment reduced or the time shortened: “Complaints” → “Punishment Appeals.” These are reviewed within 72 hours.

1. 1

   Open the official forum and find your server in the list.

2. 2

   Go to “Complaints,” then open the right section: “Complaints Against Administration” or “Punishment Appeals.”

3. 3

   Create a thread with a title in this format: “Nick_Name administrator | Reason.”

4. 4

   Fill out the form: your Nick_Name, the administrator’s Nick_Name, the punishment date, the reason for your appeal, and your evidence.

5. 5

   Attach unedited video or screenshot links from YouTube, Yandex Disk, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Imgur.

Forum link: forum.blackrussia.online. Here’s what to know before you submit:

• Only the account owner can file; appeals submitted for a friend won’t be accepted.
• You have 14 days from the account being blocked. After that, you can’t appeal.
• An empty section doesn’t mean anything is wrong: only admins and tech specialists can see submissions.
• No reply within the stated time? Check the section and your form, then contact tech support through the chat on the official website or message your server’s management with a link to your thread.
• These punishments can’t be appealed: account dumping, currency sales, scams, deliberate bug abuse, selling or transferring an account, hiding bugs, third-party software, sharing confidential information, or deceiving the administration.

The server management makes the final decision on bans, and submitting an appeal doesn’t guarantee it’ll be accepted. Keep it respectful: disrespecting the administration, even in a report, gets you a 180- or 300-minute Mute (2.54), while faking evidence counts as deceiving the administration and gets you a 7–15-day Ban (2.32). If you were punished for something you didn’t do, video evidence can make all the difference. The page about DM explains how to record it. If you’re new and want to avoid this in the first place, check out the new player guide.
