## Rules

#### 0 RULE ZERO

The staff has the right to remove any player from the server for any reason, listed or otherwise, temporarily and permanently

#### 1 KEEP THE FRONT DOOR CLEAN

* All discussion on the /r/civex subreddit and the #general channel of the community discord are to be kept fully focused on the server and subject to minimal spam and shitposting
* Types of content that may be removed includes, but is not limited to:
	+ Shitposting (low quality memes)
	+ Spam (multiple posts in a day by the same person or on the same topic)
	+ Off-Topic Content (politics, other games/services, and anything not directly related to CivEx)
	+ Discussion about moderation policy outside of proper forums made by the administrative team (use the #feedback channel on the community discord to voice your concern with our moderation policy freely)

#### 2 NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS

* Players found to be using alternate accounts will be banned on all accounts
* Using an alternate account to circumvent a ban is against the rules

#### 3 NO BOTTING

* Everything your player does in-game must be done while you are at the keyboard
* You are allowed to use an auto-mining bot (effectively the same as taping down your left mouse button) so long as you are at the keyboard and responsive to things happening in-game (you may, for example, watch netflix while vault-breaking--but if you need to go to the restroom you must stop all the actions your character is performing in-game)
* Using bots to enhance a character’s actions beyond human capability are not allowed

#### 4 NO BUG EXPLOITATION

* This includes, but is not limited to:
	+ Duping
	+ Xray
	+ Flying
	+ Bug Exploitation
	+ Glitch Exploitation
	+ Bypassing AFK checks
	+ Intentionally causing lag
	+ Using a hacked or cracked client
	+ Using vanilla behaviours that have been removed for the server experience or have been stated to be against the server’s goals
* All bugs and exploits must be reported to the admin team as soon as they are recognized to be bugs/exploits
* Distributing or publicly posting any information about bugs/exploits currently in the game is against the rules

#### 5 NO KING OF THE ASHES

* If your goal is to raze the server to the ground, you're going to need to have a talk with us--we aren't just going to let you do that
* If your intention is to make the server an undesirable place to play, and are unwilling to change, you will be asked to leave

	+ Pearling newfriends with your end-game gear
	+ Randomly pearling people to prevent everyone from playing the server
	+ Lag machines

#### 6 NO HARASSMENT, PERSONAL ATTACKS, OR DOXXING

* Due to the nature of civ-style servers arguments and conflicts between players can get pretty heated, however players are expected to remain civil in their interactions with other players
* Using or divulging personal information of another player without their consent is not allowed
* Any action taken to negatively affect a player outside of the game is not allowed
* Moderators will not intervene with interactions between players unless things are taken too far by either party

* Players intentionally aiding others in breaking/circumventing the rules will be punished in accordance with the severity of the actions of the people they are aiding

#### 8 NO PAYING WITH, ACCEPTING, OR SOLICITING REAL MONEY FOR INGAME GOODS AND SERVICES

* Not only is this against our policy, but it is also against the Mojang EULA and will not be tolerated in any capacity
* This includes paying with, accepting, or soliciting any item IRL or out of game for ingame goods and services

#### 9 NO USING SERVER RESOURCES TO ADVERTISE OTHER MINECRAFT SERVERS, SERVICES OR GAMES

* Contact the staff if you want permission to advertise other games/services
