What To Expect

Our aim for Echo 3-1 Players is to cultivate a thriving community where members can seamlessly unite in gameplay and foster an enjoyable atmosphere within our Twitch streams and Discord community. To ensure the quality of our community, we've created a Rulebook with guidelines that explain the rules and violation consequences. Please read the Rulebook carefully. All Echo 3-1 Players must follow these rules, and the Discord Community Guidelines. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in warnings, timeouts, or bans as deemed appropriate by the admins.

3. Content Removal: Inappropriate content, such as offensive messages or images, may be removed. Members will be informed about the removal and the reason behind it.

4. Temporary Ban: If a member consistently violates rules despite warnings, a temporary ban may be imposed. This can range from a day to a week, giving the member time to reflect on their behavior.

5. Permanent Ban: Persistent or severe violations may lead to a permanent ban from the Echo 3-1 Players Discord server, Official Alex's Army Players Streams and Chad Michael Collins Players Streams.

6. Appeals Process: Members who believe they were unfairly penalized can appeal the decision. They can contact the admins via officialalexsarmy@gmail.com to appeal their case. The appeal will be reviewed, and actions may be adjusted if necessary.
