If you got muted, by no means you are allowed to bypass it by using a sign or book at the Server, since you got muted for a reason and attempting it to bypass it will result in a ban for the length of your mute! Furthermore, if you believe you got wrongly muted/banned, you may submit a punishment appeal HERE
It has come to my attention that there is a very open rule in place. People are muted because of profanity or spamming. This is a perfect system, except for the rule stated above. There are people being banned permanently because of this rule for "bypassing a mute" this is not bypassing a mute. If I'm muted and I talk to my friend on skype it's not bypassing a mute. If you're communicating with a book, that means that only one person is probably reading, and that person is your friend. You can't spam with a book or sign.
Another reason this is a terrible rule is because the staff don't know what they are saying in the books. They may just be telling their friend that they have been muted so that they don't think they're being ignored. Long time members who play constantly are being banned for something so meaningless. Staff members are following people around trying to find reasons to ban them.
