Rules

If you are found not following these rules, or having a negative impact on the website/server/discord, we have the right to remove you at our own discretion.

Listen to staff, and defer to their judgement in vague situations.

General Rules and Guidelines

Above all, be a generally respectful and good person. Just because something is not in the rules does not mean you are allowed to do it, and if a staff member asks you to stop doing something please stop. Players are expected to use common sense to know what they should or should not do in areas where the rules may be ambiguous.


Chat Rules

These rules apply across all chats, unless specified.


Swearing

As a general rule, swearing and insults are allowed, provided:


Players are expected to use their own discretion when directing swear words/insults at other players and ensure that they stop directing swear words/insults at another player if said player asks/tells them to stop. If this does not happen, either staff will intervene, or the player affected should make a player report with evidence.

These rules apply to general chat, public town and nation chats, and local chat in public areas. However, if a staff member asks you to stop discussing a topic in any chat, please stop.

Controversial Topics


Please be aware that this list of topics is not exhaustive, and what is considered acceptable may vary depending on the discretion of the staff member. If a staff member instructs you to stop discussing a topic, please listen to them- if you feel a staff member has unfairly banned a certain topic, please either make a staff report or ask a higher member of staff.

Towny Rules

For Residents


For Mayors

1. The player has left the town
2. The player has not been online for over 7 days.

The Mayor must give a 3 day notice before hand and allow the player to remove it if they want. (You may give notice on day 4 of inactivity and remove on day seven. We suggest you screenshot the notice given to prevent later disputes)


No Hacking, Exploiting, Cheating

Example - 1. You are using an AFK pool to avoid being kicked/ load a farm. This is not allowed.
Example - 2. You use a super smelter that needs a lever to turn on and off. This is allowed.



Grief vs Raiding vs Defacing

Griefing in towns / claimed chunks

Example - You join a town and are able to (because of the towns set permissions) able to open chests and break blocks. This is stealing / griefing and is NOT allowed

Raiding in the wild


The only way to keep your things 100% safe is to claim them.


Example - A player finds a house in the wild. The player takes the items from the chests. This is raiding and is allowed.

Defacing

Example - A player steals items from a chest and destroys the building (in the wilderness one chunk away from a town). This defacing and is not allowed


More examples of what would be allowed and not allowed.

Example 1. A player builds a giant sign pointed at the town reading 'GO AWAY'. This is harassment and not allowed.

Example 2. A player digs holes around a town to try and cause problems. This is harassment and not allowed.

The Probation System

Players who continuously, intentionally break the rules may be placed on a probation period either temporarily or permanently. What this means is that any further breaking of the rules by the player will be dealt with more harshly, up to and including permanent bans from the server. Staff will inform the player when they are on/off a probationary period.


If you are unsure of any rules please ask a member of staff to clarify for you!
