Raccoons need to be able to perform their duties as outlined on Raccoons .
Repercussions
Gameservers not adhering to this rule will be shut down. The maintainer will be warned. In case of an active obstruction/staff or maintainers denying privileges to the Raccoons, they may lose their respective status as such.
V - Game specific Staff
Game-Specific staff members have to be denoted on a "Staff" Wiki page within the respective game's project. Said wiki page has a template it needs to adhere to, which can be copied from the "Generic Game Server" Project.
Reason
Staff members need to be documented in a place outside of the game itself in order for others to have an independent source of truth in case someone poses as a staff member.
Repercussions
If the game's maintainer fails to keep the page up to date, one may lose the responsibility of being such.
