This ensures that the whole community can benefit from the discussion and solutions.</p>
<h3>🆘 Urgent Private Messaging (PM) Policy</h3>
<p>While we prefer all issues to be handled via the Discord server first, you are welcome to PM me directly under <strong>specific urgent circumstances</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Allowed Reason:</strong> Your server is <strong>crashing</strong> or experiencing <strong>critical, game-breaking errors</strong> directly related to one of my mods/plugins.</li>
<li><strong>Requirement:</strong> You must be the <strong>owner</strong> of the server.</li>
<li><strong>Time Zone:</strong> I am operating in the <strong>(CET/CEST) Time Zone</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>PM Hours:</strong> Please only send private messages between <strong>10:00 AM and 10:00 PM (Brussels Time)</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>I will endeavor to answer your PM as soon as I can to be helpful and see what I can do to resolve your urgent issue. However, please understand that immediate responses are not guaranteed, and <strong>private messaging is a professional courtesy, not an entitlement.</strong> Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!</p>
