• 
  
  
• Respect for the authority (founders and rozzers) - We're your hosts. We put time and money forward so you can enjoy yourselves. When we tell you to stop doing things, listen to us. If you wanna criticize what we do, don't insult us doing so, same goes if you make us a suggestion and we reject it.
  
  
• Respect for the players - No one wants to read your violent poetry about player X taking over your cobble castle. We'd like to maintain a nice climate between players and if you feel the urge to show repeated disrespect towards them, it will likely earn you the loss of your chatting privileges.
  
  
• Modded Clients - If you're one of the countless players of Minecraft with a modified client, be it you're using Zombee's mod, a minimap or a HD texture pack, let it be made known to you that we do not tolerate any modifications made to your client that could advantage you in any way during gameplay. In the case of Zombee's, for instance: the compass and map time are completely fine, but X-RAY vision, full-brightness and the likes are COMPLETELY PROHIBITED. Same goes for any minimap that actively displays where players are. Failure to respect this rule will result in an unconditional and permanent ban unless you can prove to us through an appeal that we were wrong. Use of texutre packs, so long as they don't facilitate your mining (transparency) are authorized.
  
  
• Glitching - While we understand that some of the glitching involved in Minecraft's multiplayer aspect is an integral part of the gameplay, we reserve the right to discriminate against the use some. Specifically:
  
  1) Block glitching, defined as repeatedly placing blocks beneath you to gain height in places you otherwise couldn't, i.e. land claimed by an enemy faction.
  
  2) Door spamming, defined as spam opening a door in claimed land that isn't yours with a pressure plate on the other side of it to a point where you end up lagging through, activating the pressure plate and opening it.
  
  Consider anything not listed here as tolerated.
  
  
• Spamming - chat/leave message spam gets you automatically banned. Don't attempt it or face the banhammer.
  
  
• Arrow to the knee jokes - while we're Internet goons ourselves, A2K is a terrible meme and we don't want to see it being used.
  
  
• Multiple accounts - Account hopping is one of the most popular sports of ban-evaders in Minecraft. For this reason alone, it is prohibited. Sharing an account? Two people playing on one is different, but try not to go /multiple-personality disorder on us.
  
  
• Griefing - This one is tricky. So pay attention.
  
  While we completely understand the value of griefing on a PVP server, some of us have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) about how clean things are. However, in an effort not to discourage players from actively engaging in wars, we will define griefing as the following.
  
  1) Placing lava/water falls all over the place - we're accepting of dropping lava buckets for the purpose of killing your enemies and getting through bases that are protected by a layer of water, but drowning an entire base in lava/water is unacceptable.
  
  2) Faction abuse - Defined as joining a faction with the sole intent of stealing its goods, leaving it once on site to kill its members, repeatedly dying to drain down the faction's power or destroying its facilities. The same applies to faction owners trying to get people to join them only to kick them out and steal their goods. Let me be clear however, this definition does not prohibit alliance breakups/betrayals or members from parting with their factions and whatnot. This rule was designed to avoid driving out neophytes.
  
  What is NOT considered griefing and why protecting your work is your responsibility:
  
  1) TNT bombardment to penetrate closed bases.
  2) Setting [faction] wooden structures on fire.
  3) Dismantling structures, grinders with the purpose of collecting the resources it was made with. Chances are, if you're deconstructing something made out of stone, it won't fly with us.
  
  Each player has been allocated up to 15 chunks (16x128y16z) of land, claiming land protects it from all but TNT damage. It is your responsibility to claim and protect your contraptions. With regards to Factions with a Building Grant, it's their responsibility to manage their chunks efficiently and request assistance for safe-zoning.
  
  
• Builder Grant abuse - This rule is specific to factions receiving building grants. You have gained your status (peaceful faction) solely so you could build a collective project. Engaging in other side business, such as bombarding your foes while this grant has been given to you is STRICTLY PROHIBITED and will result in a FACTION WIDE DISBAND as well as the ceasing of your goods and any advantages given to you. As for people within the faction who are entrusted with creative building rights (highly unlikely), if it has been found that they have been using their position to advantage themselves in gameplay, you will face the same consequences.
  
  
• Rozzer Brutality (power abuse) - We're actually bloody serious about this. If it has been found that a Rozzer (moderator) or Administrator has been abusing his power to favor his position in the game, varying punishment will ensue and his victim(s) will be credited accordingly. This section does not cover appealed bans, however, consider that the same applies abusive bans, mutes and whatnot.
  
  
• Repeated and unwarranted reporting/accusations - AKA report abuse. We don't want to see people repeatedly calling out other players for cheating when they're getting raided unless they have proof of it. We will of course verify nocheat reports with our logs if we suspect a claim is warranted, but you're not gonna get ahead in this server by saying everyone cheats and such.
