We have our own privately run server. This allows us to make a few rules. We don't have a lot, and they're meant to simply document what we don't want people doing as much as they are to let people know what we DO want them doing. If we didn't write them down, someone will always say "So where is that written that I can't do that?''
DO...- HAVE FUN!
- respect for all players on the server---Not just clan members.
- report in! Reporting in periodically will save you from getting Team Killed. It also helps your team in the event that you get killed. If they know where you died, they have a better chance at exacting some revenge!
- type all messages in ENGLISH ONLY. We want to make sure all players can understand what is being said.
- wait 15 seconds before pulling the PIN on any flashbang, or frag grenade, or firing any M203. We have our clock set to promote a fast round of play without people taking cheap shots and spamming at the beginning of a game.
- play with an attitude of good sportsmanship. After all it is just a game.
DO NOT...
- make any racial or cultural comments to anyone. We do not tolerate bigots or rude players.
- direct any foul language at another player. We tolerate a few expletives here or there, but do not get carried away--As in "#&$@! I died".
- ghost. We expect players to treat eachother with respect. Part of that leaves you on your honor to NOT give away live players' positions if you are dead and playing on TeamSpeak or some other chat program.
- start a votekick against any players while [MyL] are present on the server. Our clan members can handle any problems with players that might need to be removed. The server will automatically remove idle players over time.
We understand not all people will come here and read the rules first. If you happen to break a rule, you will more than likely get a friendly warning about it. Repeated abuse of the rules is cause for removal from the server. If someone continues to re-visit the server and continues to break the rules after being warned enough, that person might very well find themselves un-welcome on the server at anytime after that.
We allow our playeradmins and clan members some discretion in enforcing the rules. Understand that one admin might tolerate more than another. Internally we have rules that all server kicks are documented. This lets us keep an eye on who is being kicked as much as it lets us see who is doing the kicking. We have an appeals forum for those that feel they might have been treated unfairly. Feel free to make a post there if you find yourself in this predicament.
Again. Above all. Play for FUN!
