PunishmentsSystem
What it is
PunishmentsSystem is a free, self-hosted tool for moderating player punishments. The /punish command applies preset reasons and durations, while /manualpunish handles cases outside those presets. Operators define reasons, punishment types, and durations by offense step in config.json. Documented punishment types are mute, ban, and kick. Moderators can use /check to view a player’s punishment history or find a punishment by ID, then forgive a charge from that command. /unban serves as an alias for forgiving bans. Punishments apply across IP addresses, and /checkip looks up accounts associated with an IP or player. The maker presents it as easy to use. The README identifies a Paper branch containing Paper code, and the repository lists the GPL-3.0 license. The project is hosted on GitHub. The repository page does not state a price or trial offer, and it provides no product support, security, or compliance details.
