5a. Global blocking

"global PluralBuddy blocks" = blocks applying anywhere on Discord, regardless of server.

These blocks are only when applicable to the Terms of Service of PluralBuddy. PluralBuddy will never block, ban, or otherwise restrict your access to PluralBuddy for things not listed here, including whether or not your system is "valid", your origin, race, gender, disabililty/ability, etc. We are happy to accept all systems and help them use the bot.

No blocks result in a ban to the PluralBuddy Support server. You can always join to appeal a block, and will always be reviewed by another staff member for another opinion.

Server-wide blocks do not represent PluralBuddy, and rather represent the server. They are blocks that are attributed only to the moderators of the server. We do not exclude systems, and we do not officially recommend doing such with PluralBuddy Blocked Roles. They are purely designed for moderation purposes.
