What RootMC staff can do, how it's recorded, and which tools have been confirmed in game. For players who want to know how moderation works.
Reports
Command
What it does
Status

Open reports and feedback, 10 per page, oldest first, with each case's short id, type, who sent it, who it's about and how long ago
Confirmed
/reportclose <id>
Closes a case. The short 8-character id from the alert or list is enough
Confirmed

Untested
Durations look like 30m, 2h, 7d, 1w or 1d12h, from 1 second to 10 years.
Bans and mutes are saved and survive restarts. A banned player sees the reason, and how long the ban lasts if it's temporary.
/mutechat doesn't stay on across a restart.
Ban, mute and kick messages to the player are red.
Spawn drop after a permanent ban
The spawn drop is on. When a player is banned permanently, their carried items, their Ender Chest and the contents of chests and barrels they placed are dropped as loose items within 32 blocks of spawn. Temporary bans don't release anything, and double chests are skipped. If a drop is interrupted, staff can see where it stopped with /spawndrop list. Untested

/fly [player]

Confirmed
The game mode guard: a player without permission can't change their own game mode with Minecraft's command or the F3+F4 switcher, even if something else would let them. RootMC's own staff commands, normal defaults and hardcore deaths aren't affected. Untested (the refusal of /gamemode itself is confirmed by SA1)
God mode, flight and vanish don't carry over a server restart.
