Stacking

At Ontario Provincial Roleplay, punishment stacking takes place. The punishments listed below each offense are merely base punishments, and if the user has committed an offense multiple times, or has committed multiple offenses, they may be stacked upon. For example, if a user fails to use a livery and they instigate a priority event in a safe zone, they will be jailed and warned.
