A restriction is staff pressing pause on an account. Here is what it does, what you will see, and how to get it lifted.
There is no fixed strike count. A restriction is a staff call, and it can also be precautionary while they look into something. How enforcement actually works is on the Rules page.

You are restricted, please wait 1 month before your appeal through a ticket in the discord server.
One account, one appeal path
Do not make a new account to get around a restriction. Ban evasion is itself bannable and it will not help your appeal. The ticket is the way back.
