Ignorance of the rules or their updates does not exempt you from following them!
The rules can be changed at any time.

-
General
1.1 Nicknames cannot be offensive, inappropriate, or difficult to ping.

- Using tags in the chat (e.g., setting a tag to "Admin", "Operator", etc.).
- Telling others that you are an administrator when you are not.
1.16 Using tags to mislead other players into thinking you are not a player (e.g. setting a tag to "Discord", "Anti-Lag", etc.) is prohibited. -
Culture
2.1 It is required to follow social norms and maintain personal etiquette.
2.2 Being toxic and unkind towards other players is prohibited (creating an unpleasant atmosphere on the server, nitpicking, starting arguments, etc.).
2.3 Purposely harassing a specific player to drive them away from the server is forbidden.
2.4 Constantly complaining and spreading hostility are prohibited.
2.5 Users who display low personal etiquette may be removed from the server without prior warning. -
Gameplay
3.1 Cheating in any way to gain an advantage over other players (e.g., wallhack, aimbot) is forbidden, both with third-party programs and in-game scripts (e.g. Expression 2).
3.2 Blocking/building on spawn area and skybox are prohibited.
3.3 "Spawnkill" does not exist on the server. Upon respawning, players have a 3-second invincibility period. Everyone has access to creating a "Mobile Spawnpoint", which changes the respawn location. You can switch to "Build" mode at any time, in which you cannot be killed.
3.4 Interfering with other players' enjoyment of the game is prohibited - constant killing, obstructing with your own props (When you are in PvP mode, you agree to be killed).
3.5 Crashing and slowing down the server is prohibited (logs are regularly checked).
3.6 Abusing available tools (e.g., Wiremod for creating machines that easily kill players. Creating models in PAC3 that hinder other players' gameplay, such as through enormous visual effects, etc.) is forbidden. -
Your props and uploaded content
4.1 You are responsible for your props and everything you have created/spawned (e.g., if you give other players access to draw on your GPaint, you will be punished if they draw something that violates the rules).
4.2 Littering with props is prohibited. If a player is far from their props, administration may remove them.
4.3 Spamming with props (e.g., creating a large number of props to slow down the server. Creating props in a location where another player is present to obstruct them) is prohibited. In case of prop spam/harassment of others with your props, administration may immediately remove all your props.
4.4 Sending shocking content (e.g., torture or executions) is prohibited.
4.5 Sending content depicting disgusting sexual acts (scat, bestiality, etc.) is prohibited. -
Advertising
5.1 Advertising anything without permission from the administration is forbidden. -
Politics
6.1 Politics in any form (especially identity politics) - ideas, political figures, controversial topics, religion - are prohibited. -
Reporting players and bugs
7.1 To report a player for breaking the rules, create a new ticket on Discord. Read reporting-players.
7.2 To report a bug, create a new ticket, describe the bug, and explain how to reproduce it. Without a way to reproduce the bug, it is harder to fix. -
We reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason.
8.1 Even if something is not explicitly stated in the rules, administration can still punish you if they deem your actions detrimental to the server.
8.2 Trying to justify yourself with arguments like "I see it differently", "most people think otherwise" and looking for loopholes in the rules will get you nowhere.
8.3 Administration may not react to harassment, etc., until someone uses !report. Players can engage in various roleplays that administration is unaware of. If someone bothers you, use !report.
¶ PvP rules
- No healing or armor replenishment during combat.
- Play fair and square. Don't overdo it with tools and available items, for example:
- Do not create machines that kill but cannot be destroyed themselves.
- Do not use scripts that teleport to the death location ("Instant Respawn"/"Undead"). - Maximum HP is 100. Maximum armor is 100.
- Be at 100% size. No shrinking/growing allowed.
- Do not use models with reduced/broken hitboxes.
- Do not use PAC3 to create hard to hit models.
- Do not use props as weapons (proppush, propkill etc.).
¶ Administration rules
- Do not punish players without evidence.
- Abusing available commands is prohibited.
- Players who violate the rules must be punished.
- When banning a player for more than 1 day, evidence must be sent to the Keldeo file server.
- Favoritism is prohibited.
- Maintain confidentiality. Spreading information intended only for administrators (logs, git, chats) is prohibited.
- Rank may be revoked in case of low or lack of activity.
Position in the administration can be revoked if the rest of the administration or the server owner decides so.
¶ Ban appeals
To get unbanned, you need to create a new ticket on the Discord server, describe your situation and wait for the administration's response. The ticket must include:
- Your SteamID
- A description of the situation and why you were banned
- Why you believe you should be unbanned
An appeal may be rejected depending on the offense committed and how the player treats the administration with respect.
Depending on the offense committed and a well-written appeal, the player may be unbanned, their punishment shortened, or the appeal may be rejected.
If a player breaks the rules, they may not be punished if the administration has a good reason. The reason must be communicated to the rest of the administration as soon as possible, who will then approve or reject it.
The server can be shut down and data deleted at any time.
