```

	+ **1.1.1** Raising shitstorm discussions on purpose against a specific player, or faction, or side
	+ **1.1.2** Criticizing staff and server, NB: The generalized criticism term is referred to all those sentences related to "you're a c\*nt, you're a brainless biased, you took this decision because x and x, you only care about x, you are x and such"
	+ **1.1.3** Flooding, spamming
	+ **1.1.4** Abusing of caps lock
	+ **1.1.5** Causing a mess on purpose when staff is busy on certain tasks, for example in managing wars
	+ **1.1.7** Disrespectful behavior toward staff members aswell as provocations, insults toward staff, ignoring staff warnings and decisions on purpose, randomly accusing staff of being biased or putting staff in bad light.
	+ **1.1.9** Abusing of staff dm (fake reports, insults, provocations, your personal toxic opinions about others which none cares about).
	+ For each of these behaviors, staff has access to a collection of examples and relative punishment. They generally vary between SOFT Warning, 1 min mute (Warning), 10 min mute (Heavy breaking of rules), 30 min mute (Super Heavy Reiterated breaking of rules).
* **1.2** Do not spam IP or sites of other servers, players are earned not stolen from those who have won them loyally.
	+ Penalty: Permanent Ban [Global]
* **1.3** Do not encourage other users to break the regulation. (Ex. Exploiting a bug and spreading the exploit to other users)
	+ Penalty: Depends on the infraction occurred. The penalty will be applied to both those who have encouraged the infringement (heavier punishment) and the victim.
* **1.4** Everyone is responsible for their account, so whatever happens the owner of the account will be punished, this does not apply in case of theft of the account.
	+ It's not rule breaking if you write few words in your own language, or even few sentences. It's considered a discussion (thus breaking the rule) only when 2 or more players are involved into talking in their own language for several time. There is no punishment for such rule, which is more like a common guideline, instead you would get warned or 10min muted if you severely spam the chat.
* **1.5**New players can't be killed, this protection is valid for 3 day (the time start from the first login). If you kill the newbie you MUST refund the stuff back. If the new players attack someone they lose their protection. Self-defense isn't considered as an attack.
	+ **Note:** You can check when players first log into the server with the **/res [playername]** command.
* **1.5.1** If a new player participates in a war *(which is seen as an event)* does not mean their noob-protection of 3 days will wear off.

### **2. Gameplay (2.1 - 2.28)**

* **2.1** Do not use hacks on the server and do not make any changes that could benefit you in the gameplay. The only Mods allowed are those that modify the graphic appearance of the game like Optifine and Shaders.
	+ The staff is able to see when the hacks have been used, but the tools that are available are not always accurate and therefore it is possible that you are asked to show your minecraft folder via screen sharing on AnyDesk or Discord, this process is not to be accepted compulsorily, however in the event that it is not possible and the anti-cheat detects a number of infractions it will be necessary to continue according to the indicated penalty. It is advisable to have a Discord account in order to avoid problems and to be able to protect in case the anti-cheat detects infractions. The staff may require another program for screen sharing.
	+ **Penalty**: Ban 1 week > Permanent Ban *[Global]*

* **2.2** Do not exploit server bugs or glitches in general to enter bases, obtain items or get rich, because you will only cause unbalances in the gameplay of all the players and you will be punished. Bugs and glitches include and are not limited to: Using mount glitches to move through blocks, using claim glitches to mine ore, using boats to get past gates, etc.
	+ **Penalty**: The penalty will depend exclusively on how much you have unbalanced the gameplay, minimum penalty: 3-Day Ban *[Global - Local] +* Handing over the stuff you glitched.

If you are going to colonise a province, it is not counted as faction territory until the settlement has been recognised, the Colonisation point was paid and the colonisation is made official in #Colonisations-recognistions. Thus, flying before it was written in the discord channel still is illegal.
