So me and Master_Manan had a convo about the rules and agreed that some changes needed to be made. Specifically, that the rules should be more specific. So I through together this comprehensive list of rules. I know it's long, but atleast no one can say we didn't write it down. If you have any suggestions or amendments or additions, please let me know!
1. Thou shalt not lay siege upon protected regions.
Laying siege is defined simply as any person(s) surrounding a protected, non-pvp zone and waiting for unsuspecting players to leave the zone. This includes private and public protected regions. Punishment for laying siege is no more than 7 days in jail, confiscation of entire inventory, or permanent banishment for repeat offenders.
2. Thou shalt not camp upon the spawnpoint of another player.
Spawn camping is defined as discovering the respawn point of another player and repeatedly killing them every time they respawn in order to steal their goods or otherwise troll the shit out of them. Punishment for spawn camping is no more than 7 days in jail, confiscation of entire inventory, or permanent banishment for repeat offenders.
3. Thou shalt not grief with Protection Stones.
PS Griefing is defined as using the server designated protection stones [Iron Block, Diamond Block, Gold Block] to purposefully grief or disrupt the borders of other player's claims. Placing protection stones on objects which you did not build is also forbidden. Breaking protection stones which are not yours is also forbdden. PS Griefing is punishable by no more than 5 days in jail, loss of the protection stone used to grief, or permanent banishment for repeat offenders.
4. Thou shalt not harass thine fellow players.
Harassment is simple. Any sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise bullying type of behavior done or said in order to belittle, annoy, dehumanize, degrade, etc.etc., another player is intolerable and may result in muting, jailing for no more than 1 day, or permanent banishment depending on the severity and recursion of incidents.
5. Thou shalt not swear excessively or otherwise spam the chat with thine nonsense.
Excessive vulgar language and spamming of the chat may result in muting or jailing of no more than 1 day for serious offenders. Length of time muted is dependent on severity and recursion of incidents.
6. Thou shalt not cheat using unauthorized client-side modifications
Use of X-Ray or other mods designed to point your towards ores are prohibited. Use of mods designed to help you pass through walls, fly, or otherwise break or get around server rules and permissions is highly forbidden. If found using any of these mods, you will be immediately banned.
7. Thou shalt please refrain from nerdpoling!
While nerdpoling is not forbidden, we ask that you please remove the nerdpole when you are done. This also applies for floating trees, don't leave them around everywhere, please. If caught leaving nerdpoles unattended, you will be warned. Depending on the amount of infractions, a mod or admin may decide to jail you for a time determined at their discretion.
8. Thou shalt not grief protection borders or other player's structures.
Destroying other people's constructions or griefing around player's protection zones is strictly forbidden, whether the zone is completely protected or not. We strongly urge people protect everything they build, but going around being a dick to other players simply because you can will not be tolerated. Griefing in general is punishable with jailtime or permanent banishment for repeat offenders.
If we know you're lying and you lie to us anyway, your sentence will be extended.
And there in lies the main point. Don't be a dick to other players. Trolls will be dealt with swiftly and mercilessly. Admins and mods may decide to skip jail time and immediately ban you if are uncooperative and belligerently an asshole.
