Important notices:

1. Rule changes: Racism/discrimination rules
The rule break is now catagorized under two type, which are rule break related to communication and gameplay. Punishment for rule break related to gameplay (hack/stats padding..etc) will be either a ban or a warn. As for rule break related to communication(racism/discrimination), the punishment shall be a mute. The admins are no longer allowed to use ban for racism/discrimination rule break except under few circumstances that a mute wont help. Related changes:
- The range of of mute is increased to maximum 1 year (12 months)
- If a player is muted longer than 1 hour. The mute system changes to global ignore in which he will be added to everyone's ignore list by default. Other players can unignore him/her to see his/her messages but they are not allowed to report if he/she insult them.
- If the player unintentionally evade the mute: the player shall be muted back
- If the player intentionally evade the mute: the admin can either warn/ban the player
3. Rule changes: Stats padding rules
There is no major changes, the player will still be either warned/banned. But, now there will also be a reduction of stats. It goes this way
- If the player do stats padding less than 100 kills: His stats be will reduced by 100 kills
- If the player do stats padding less than 200 kills: His stats be will reduced by 200 kills
- If the player do stats padding less than 300 kills: His stats be will reduced by 300 kills
- Example: If player A caught doing 30 stats padding, his stats will be reduced by 100 kills
- Example2: If player B caught doing 101 stats padding: his stats will be reduced by 200 kills
- When you think of doing stats padding, dont forget to think whether it's worth it.
4. Policy changes: Possession/distribution of hack
We added this policy quite long ago in an attempt to work together with other servers and create a global ban that was believed to help stop players from using hack in all related servers. But it turned into a burden for us since it seems like we are forced to care of reports that are not even done or related to this server because of this policy while the players that are caught in other server are reported directly here and not in the related server/taken care there. So, we have decided to change this policy and we will no longer accept report of players that are caught in other server. It will only serves as reference from now on. Even though, the admins still have right to take action if the player is already in our watchlist, then get caught in other server and believed could also be a risk to this server. In other words, dont use hack in public server. Related changes:
- We will no longer accept reports except if the player is caught in this server.
- The report from other server can only be used as reference
- The admins are allowed to take action even if the player is caught in other server if the player is already in our watchlist and believed he/she can be a risk to this server.
Notes:
1. Fairness does not mean all players will be punished with same punishment, the decision will be taken based on few factors:
i. The punishment may varies between new players and old players, old players should have known the rules better
ii. The punishment for unintentional rule break may be lighter than intentional rule break
iii. The punishment will be heavier if you have history of same rule break, it shows you didn't learn from the last punishment
2. The rules are for the players' own good, we expect players to give cooperation to help us make the administration effective.
3. The server rules are updated according to the situation, make sure you read this topic frequently.
4. Everyone must obey the rules, whether you are a staff member, donator or normal players.
5. If you think any rule should be changed/added, you are free to post about it in Suggestion board.
Updated rule and clarifications:
- Wall glitching
Explanation: An act in which you intentionally use the game's bug or any other unfair way to shoot through a wall/object to hit player on the other side. This includes bugged or non-solid walls/roof/floor covered by texture or use explosion, including rocket to damage opponent on the other side via the explosion's effect.
Inside ammunation:
For clarifications and some confusion among players and admins, to be concise we do allow in usage of grenades and molotovs since the blast/flame radius is barely uncontrollable it is an exemption to be considered as wall glitch.
However,
We do not encourage using a flamethrower inside the ammunation since it is a prone to wall glitch and intention of exploitation of unfair killing that can fall under the category of medium severity, however 1st offence it can be issued a warn and if continues that can undergo 2 weeks of ban if abused.
And also we are here to announce that we will now disallow any bug places inside the ammunation, example is given below, anyone caught doing this can be imposed a warn as a first offence, and a 2 weeks ban following the rule of Abusing of VCMP bug.
