-Warning Reforms

How warnings work have been long vague. The status quo has basically been "Admins+ can issue warnings, but lesser staff can issue informal warnings."

This vagueness has long been an issue in my opinion. This proposal creates various types of warnings.


 * Admin+ Warning:
 * Admin+ Warnings are the most serious, and getting 3 of them will result in a ban the next time a user breaks rules.
 * An Admin+ can bypass warning a user if they believe the user to be a serious threat.
 * Chat Warning:
 * Issued by any Chat Staff, getting 3 will mandate an Admin+ to investigate issuing an Admin+ Warning.
 * At 3 Chat Warnings; Chat Staff may ban or kick the user from Discord. An Admin+ investigation will follow.
 * Mini-Admins can bypass the 3 warnings and mandate an Admin+ to investigate.
 * Chat Staff can bypass the need for a warning if they believe the user to be a serious threat.
 * MC Warning:
 * Issued by any staff for only MC issues. Getting 3 will mandate an Admin+ to investigate.
 * At 3 MC Warnings; Staff may jail, kick, temp ban, or ban. An Admin+ investigation will follow.
 * Staff can bypass the need for a warning if they believe the user to be a serious threat.
 * Mini-Warning:
 * Issued by Helpers, Rollbacks, and Content Mods for anything. Also issued by chat staff for non-chat issues.
 * If a user recieves 3 an Admin+ will investigate, Mini-Admins can bypass the number and trigger an investigation.

Warning types will be documented on "Yandere Simulator Wiki:Rules/Warnings".

In practice, this won't actually change things much, mostly formalizing how things were working before. But it does lay out how to issue further punishment.

This proposal will not change how long a block is; which has been left up to staff to determine. I plan to eventually propose rules for this, but not now.
