=SoE= Server Rules / Code of Conduct

* This server is a relaxed atmosphere for Players to enjoy. There are a few rules. They are:

o Exploits/Cheating/Glitching
  • Cheating is strictly prohibited; players caught using hacks and/or cheating will be permanently banned. They will also be reported to PBBans.com and BFROE.com
  • Stat exploiting is forbidden; players caught will be permanently banned and reported to BFROE.
  • Wall Glitching is strictly prohibited; players caught wall glitching will be permanently banned and reported to BFROE.
  • Flag glitching (such as on Iron Gator) will be warned/kicked/banned

o Teamkilling
  • Intentional teamkilling or forcing teamkills will result in a kick.
  • Continued teamkilling or forced teamkills will result in an eventual ban* at admin's discretion.

o UNCAPS (Violations will result in a warning, kick or ban* at admin's discretion)
(The term "UNCAP" includes ALL spawn points in and around an uncappable base.)
  • No spawn camping of any uncappable spawn points at any time.
  • Enemy commander's assets are always acceptable targets.
  • Players may engage the enemy at an UNCAP while destroying assets only if engaged by enemy players.
  • The use of *ANY* vehicles in an uncap is not permitted unless previously engaged.
  • Firing into an uncap from a distance may be considered spawn camping at admin descretion.
  • Aircraft may engage Anti-Air weapons within an uncap. Failure to move out of the uncap after the threat has been destroyed may be considered spawn camping.
  • Aircraft in the UNCAP that has not yet taken off should be allowed to take off before engaging.
  • Aircraft that has returned to the airspace above its uncapable flag is not protected under the spawn camping rule and may be engaged.

o COMMANDERS (Violations will result in a warning, kick or ban* at admin's discretion)
(Any player taking the commander's position is expected to obey the following rules.)
  • Commanders will COMMAND. The commander may fight/defend himself, but may be kicked for not performing their command functions (Arty/UAV/etc) at admin's discretion.
  • Commanders DO NOT FLY. At no point should a commander be flying/gunning in a helo/jet.
    NOTE: Commanders may make use of transports on maps such as Iron Gator.
  • Commanders STAY OUT OF ARMOR (Tank / APC / Mobile AA).
    NOTE: Commanders may make use of armor if there are not enough team members to make use of it. Once a player asks for armor the commander should immediately relinquish it.
  • NO ARTILLERY on any UNCAP. Ever.
  • Using vehicle drops as CARTILLERY is NOT ALLOWED.
  • Commanders can use transport. Again, team members get priority, but since the commander can drop transports there should be plenty to go around.

o Behaviour (Violations will result in a warning, kick or ban* at admin's discretion)
  • No forms of racism, harassment, abuse or vilification will be tolerated.
  • Excessive offensive language or racist names are not permitted.
  • Text spamming is not permitted.
  • Repetitive voting - If someone should be kicked notify an admin.
  • Destroying friendly assets
  • Voip - Respect fellow players. No harassment, racism, sexual remarks or anything else that can be deemed offensive.

o Admins
  • =SoE= (members) and =SoEr= (recruits) are to be treated with respect. Violation = warn/kick/ban
  • Any player impersonating an =SoE= member will be beaten to death with their own helmet.

o Misc.
  • This is a team game, locking a squad of one does not encourage team play and is a kickable offense.
  • Teamswitching - Switching teams to A.) Obtain specific theater time B.) be on the winning team is not permitted. If caught doing this, you will be kicked and/or banned at admins discretion. =SoE= members will occasionally switch to balance teams but never for personal gain.

*Note: Ban lengths will vary depending on the severity of the offence and repeat offenders can expect their bans to increase in length each time, at admin's discretion. If you have concerns about any warnings, kicks or bans please voice them in our forums.
