Editing Darkwind Marshal (section)

== Duties ==
Marshals are subscribed players of Darkwind who have taken an oath to the responsibility of helping any new player learn how to play and conquer the steep learning curve that Darkwind provides.

They will also take new players out into the wilderness to allow the new player a 'relatively' safe experience with the hazards of scouting the wild roadways outside of the more protected towns and relatively safe town events. It should be noted that while scouting with a Marshal or any 'Veteran' for that matter increases the possibility of survival in any combat situation, the outcome is '''NOT''' a certainty! Scouting with Marshals and Veterans in general '''DOES NOT''' guarantee your survival!

Marshals can be identified in the client Lobby and the forums by asterisks bracketing their name. ie: *player*.

Marshals also have limited moderation abilities in both the client Lobby and the Forums.

Any Forum post can be edited by any Marshal if the content is found to be outwardly offensive either by derogatory language or intentional personal verbal attacks on any player.
In the client Lobby, there are 2 moderation sanctions that can be imposed on any player.

'''(1)Any player can be muted.''' (They cannot post anything in the lobby to be viewed by others. They can still play any racing or wilderness events).

'''(2)Any player can be booted.''' (the player is removed from the server altogether. They cannot enter the lobby at all nor can they play any racing or wilderness events).

The sanctioned player may still access the Darkwind web site and forums if they have been 'muted' or 'booted'.

These 2 moderation sanctions are set timed events against the offending player. Depending on the amount of time the Marshal deems the infraction allows. It could be a time frame from 1 minute for minor offenses, to many hours for the most grievous infractions.

These sanctions on players are NOT often used and there will, more than likely, be more than one Marshal involved before these punishments are used.
