• If a content creator is issued a ban, they will have their status revoked until their ban has expired and they are reverified.

• We request that content creators leave some form of connection or link to our Steam group or server within their description.

Forms of Punishment

Minor

Minor punishments will be assessed for simple things, and most have no real consequence.

Warning

• Warnings are most commonly assessed to new players, and can be as simple as saying “That’s against the rules”, or “You can’t do that.” Those are just examples, but that’s the basic idea of a warning.

  • It’s a good idea to tell new players to check /rules if they are causing problems.

Muting

• Muting is mainly for use by chat moderators, but most staff can use it. Muting should be done due to a violation of the Chat Rules.

  • When muting, mute someone then unmute them after a few seconds as a warning.

  • If the problem persists, mute them for a longer period of time.

Killing

• This command is not normally used by staff, but can be used as a warning measure.

  • A case in which to use it may be:

    • Someone spawning mass amounts of items, causing the server to lag

 

Kicking

Kicking is a form of punishment which can be used as a warning measure. 

• Most commonly, a kick is used to warn a player who has been on the server for some time.

  • It can also be used to halt chaos, alongside the kill command.

  • The best way to use the command is to kick someone who is breaking the rules, and warn them in this format:

/kick <name> “<infraction> - Warning”

• Do not kick excessively.

Banning

Banning is a more severe form of punishment and should be used with EXTREME caution. BE AWARE THAT ALL BAN TIMES ARE IN SECONDS, AND THAT THE FORMAT IS AS FOLLOWS:

/ban <name> “<reason>” <time in seconds>

It should be known that bans can cause one to be removed from elevated roles or positions.

There are multiple levels of banning:

Time – Out

• This type of ban is usually used for arguments which have gotten out of hand, or small wars.

• Usually, it is a 5 – 10 minute ban, which is enough time for someone to calm down.

/ban <name> “<Infraction> - <5 / 10 Minutes>” <300 / 600>

1 Day or Hourly

• 1 day or hourly bans are the more uncommon ban type. 

  • They are usually used in small cases, where someone has broken the rules to a point where it must be punished, but is not necessarily severe.

  • How long of a ban to assess is up to the staff member, but the time must be reasonable. 

    • Don’t ban someone for 10 hours for swearing you out, 30 minutes will do.

/ban <name> “<Infraction> - <Time in hours or minutes>” <Time in seconds>

Week Bans

• This is the highest level ban any staff member should have to assess. 

  • This ban level is used for someone who has been repeatedly breaking the rules, after being warned by staff OR players. 

  • The player in question must have OBVIOUSLY known they were breaking the rules, and the staff should make sure they are WILLINGLY and REPEADTEDLY breaking the rules.

  • This ban should usually only be assessed AFTER previous attempts to get them to stop have failed.

/ban <name> “<Infraction> - 1 Week” 604800

Extreme

Extreme bans are only used by ADMINISTRATORS OR ABOVE.

• All extreme bans must be approved by MD EXPLICITLY

• This ban level includes permabans, and all other bans longer than 1 week.

• Any staff member abusing this ban level may be relieved from their duties.

• It should be known that extreme bans WILL cause one to be removed from elevated roles or positions.

All bans longer than 1 day must be reported to MD.

Staffing

All staff are handpicked. Staff must abide generally by these rules, in order to keep the playing field level between players and staff. When running a RP event, staff may alter the rules temporarily for those participating in the event. PARTICIPATION IN ROLEPLAY IS NOT MANDATORY, AS LONG AS PLAYERS FOLLOW RULES. Staff helping other players may temporarily bend the rules within reason.

Commands

Players are to always be aware of how they are using the commands given to them.  Below, each level of player is defined.

Non – Staff

Default player

• Players are not to use /i to spawn in mass amounts of items for no good reason, or use the command to intentionally slow down the server.

  • The command should also not be used to spawn in “cheat items”; things that silence or modify the sound of a weapon, such as anything that is named “# NAME”.

• Players are not to use /v to spawn in excessive amounts of vehicles only to abandon them in the road. 

  • There is a 2 minute cooldown on this command for a reason; someone once spawned a pile of APCs, which was a real blast to get rid of. :/

• Players are not to use /tpa in roleplay situations, as it is unfair to other players. 

VIP or Elevated Position

• All that was defined under “Default player” applies here as well.

• VIPs are given special commands to use in cases such as intros to videos or livestreams, and to use for convenience. IN NO CASE SHOULD THESE COMMANDS BE USED TO GAIN A PLAYING ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER PLAYERS.

  • The /vanish command is intended for use in cases where the player may be otherwise swarmed, such as YouTube intros, or the beginning of a livestream. 

    • If used to gain an advantage over other players, the infracting player may be stripped of their VIP rank. Severe cases may result in punishments found in the “Forms of Punishment” section.

  • The /tp and /tphere commands are designed to be used for ease of access. They are not to be used in roleplay situations, as it is unfair to other players.

    • The commands are EXPECIALLY not to be used to Force TP, the act of teleporting to someone or teleporting someone to you for no reason. If KOS is added on top of this, it will nearly definitely result in a loss of rank. 

    • If used to gain an advantage over other players, the infracting player may be stripped of their VIP rank. Severe cases may result in punishments found in the “Forms of Punishment” section. 

  • VIP players are exempted from some item restrictions. This means that they can do some things other players can’t. However, these restrictions should not be abused. 

    • If used to gain an advantage over other players, the infracting player may be stripped of their VIP rank. Severe cases may result in punishments found in the “Forms of Punishment” section.
