The Eight Rules Every Server Should HaveOften times when a user joins a server, there is a set of rules that they are expected to follow. Between servers, these rules can be very reasonable, or they can be easily abused (or they are just really stuffty rules like "no cigarettes.") More often than not, I find myself in servers where there are NO rules, players are just sort of EXPECTED to follow the unwritten code of conduct. Often, this happens to work fairly effectively, the more logical and experienced players remain, but the lesser players and the less experienced find SOME way to get into trouble. tl;dr - I think we should, as a community, compile a basic list of rules amongst servers, not as a necessity, but as a reference. Now, before I get stormed with questions, I know someone is gonna ask: Why eight questions, Adin? The answer to that is more or less my mindset. The way I see it, if a server is supposed to have five rules, then they can pick five of the eight pre-made rules. Or, if they need ten rules, then they can use any of these eight that they like, and then add in the additional rules that may pertain to their server (no camping on TDMs, no spam on freebuilds, etc.) Rule #1. Do not spam (in relation to both building, and the chat) Original: --- Quote from: SailorMan on March 28, 2013, 02:24:41 PM ---Do not spam is a big one. --- End quote --- Rule #2. Use common sense. If you wouldn't do it on your own server, don't do it here. Original: --- Quote from: RagnaTheBroedge on March 28, 2013, 02:26:38 PM ---if you think you shouldn't do it, don't forgetin do it --- End quote --- Rule #3. Please report any badmins to the host. If the host is the badmin, deal with it. Original: --- Quote from: Crêpe on March 28, 2013, 02:32:04 PM ---Please report all badmins to the Host. If the Host is a badmin. Get the hell out. --- End quote --- Rule #4. No instigation (bad mouthing a religion, putting down others, racism, loveism, the like.) Original: --- Quote from: Chrono on March 28, 2013, 02:33:52 PM ---No controversial discussions. (such as, talking about religion or anything people will argue for hours over) --- End quote --- Rule #5. Follow the administration's instructions down to the punctuation. If an admin says stop, stop. Original: --- Quote from: ChappersTeddy on March 28, 2013, 03:06:52 PM ---listen to goddamn admins. admin doesn't respond to your question? stop spamming the server with your question. --- End quote --- Rule #6. Original: Report rule breakage to administration. Let the admins handle it, it is their job afterall. --- Quote from: _Rave_ on March 28, 2013, 03:33:52 PM ---Report any issues with other players to admins. Don't take it upon yourself to handle the problem. --- End quote --- Rule #7. Treat others with respect and courtesy. Original: --- Quote from: _Rave_ on March 28, 2013, 03:33:52 PM ---Be courteous. --- End quote --- Rule #8. Original: and yes, I plan to use these rules myself if they turn out to be any good ;) |

Do not spam is a big one. If its a server for strictly building, then build. If you do not want to, please leave. ETC For TDMs: Refrain spawnkilling. |
