= 🛡️ The Warden (Chat Moderation) =
'''The Warden''' is an automatic chat filter that watches everything said in-game and enforces a zero-tolerance policy on slurs and hate speech — no staff member has to be online for it to act.

== 📖 How It Works ==
Every line of speech is checked against a banned-phrase list. If you say something on that list, The Warden responds immediately and escalates with repeat offenses:

{| class="wikitable"
!Offense!!Consequence
|-
|1st||A private warning message. No public callout.
|-
|2nd||A "FINAL WARNING" message to you, plus a server-wide broadcast naming you.
|-
|3rd||'''Muted for 1 hour''', plus a server-wide broadcast.
|-
|4th and beyond||'''Jailed and muted for 24 hours''' — you're teleported to a holding cell and can't speak until your time is served.
|}

* '''Warnings decay:''' if you go 24 hours without another violation, your strike count quietly resets to zero.
* '''Jail is real jail:''' when your 24-hour sentence ends, you're teleported back to wherever you were when you got jailed (or to Britain Bank if that location can't be restored).
* Getting jailed by the Warden even earns you the ('''un'''-coveted) "The Warden's Wrath" [[The Achievement System|achievement]] — zero points, pure infamy.
* Staff can check on active mutes/warnings, manually lift a punishment, or reload the banned-phrase list, but the day-to-day enforcement runs entirely on its own.

'''Bottom line:''' keep the chat clean. The Warden doesn't sleep, doesn't need a staff member online, and doesn't give second chances after your second chance.
