* Racist or Homophobic Vulgarities of any sort are grounds for suspension.

* Harassment of Staff is grounds for immediate suspension.

Please make sure to include the toon names of the people who are ALLOWED access to this account. This is so when IP checks are doen we know they are allowed to have access. This also protects you as a Guild Leader, and Guild in case somoene does get access to the account and they should NOT have, and something goes missing. The Account can ONLY have 2 toons on it, Doc and Ent. Any other toon will be banned and you will NOT have access to it, or anything that it may have possession of.

* Use of 3rd party programs and hacks are strickly forbidden.

* Any modification of game files is strictly prohibited. (including the user.cfg )

(Illegially gaining force rank or GCW by killing your own toon, or friends toon, over and over for rank in the system.) Your ranks will be removed from you to Rank 1

* Squad Leaders in PVP MUST be OVERT, and PARTICIPATING and NOT hiding in a house, or bottom of cave., or where ever else you wanna hide them.

* ONLY 1 Faction Droid is allowed out at a time during PVP battle. If you are asked by staff to put the 2nd one away if you have 2 out and you do not, they will KILL IT.

* /kneel, peace, or soft log to take yourself out of combat and reset your aggro is AGAINST the rules, this DOES include Bounty Hunters getting to your target. (fight!!!)
* When engaging in a fight IF the person YOU are ATTACKING calls out they can NOT see you, YOU must softlog. Player calling out they can NOT see you MUST submit Screenshots of this action during the fight if you wish to be granted back your xp. IF you do NOT softlog and kill the person whatever xp they loose will be granted back to them. If you are found to be a repeat offender you will receive a 24hr timeout.

## Kill Stealing and Dragging Mobs onto Players

* SWG is an open world game. The player that out DPSs the others gets the kill. There will be no resetting of instances, no replacement of objects that may or may not have been lost. Get a bigger group and out DPS the farmers.

* Do NOT intentionally train or drag mobs onto another player with the intent to kill them. If this is happening, you MUST get video, or ss’s, and or get hold of staff member and have them come to you to witness this. This is a VERY hard thing to prove without the video, and or ss’s or actual witnessing of it.

* CLEAN UP YOUR MESS.. Do NOT leave adds around in places that You just farmed, a boss YOU just killed. CLEAN UP YOUR MESS.

* If you are dragging a Pain Train through an area because you do not wish to stand there and fight your way out, or into a certain location of a dungeon, and or area, and you run past someone and they are in combat and their area hits something off of your train and it kills them you are NOT at fault. HOWEVER repeatedly dragging the train past a specific person over and over does constitute as harassment.

## Bounty Hunters

* Bounty Hunting- Bounty Hunts NO OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE PERIOD. This includes Squad Leaders.

* The rule for BH vs Jedi and outside heals(Blue Healing) is as follows: (this has been the rule since Bloodfin has gone live btw) PvP overrules all. If you are a BH and are one on one with a Jedi, no outside heals are allowed. If there is PvP happening, and you attack your mark, because there is PvP happening, outside heals are allowed. If you are one on one and there are outside heals the healers will be frozen until the mission is complete. If caught doing it again a punishment will be issued to the healer.

* Triple Incap. Bounty Hunters can NOT triple Incap a Jedi. Jedi can triple incap Jedi.

## Blue Healing

(Healing of a player during a BH without a TEF implemented system makes the healer unattackable therefore blue healing)
⦁ 1st offense warning to stop
⦁ 2nd offense frozen in place until the mission is complete
⦁ 3rd faces 24hr suspension

## Social Media - Facebook, Discord, Twitter, Instagram, etc

* Since social media is where most new players are going to learn about Bloodfin and all of it’s perks and charms the main pages will be heavily moderated. No one wants to play on a server that looks like its full of trolls and infighting.

* Social Media (Facebook, Discord) will be moderated. Posts that are deemed inappropriate will be locked and or deleted depending on severity.

* There are to be no personal attacks on social media outlets. Again, posts that are deemed inappropriate will be locked and or deleted depending on content.

* The same rules apply to social media that apply to the game. 1st offense, 24 hour account suspend. 2nd offense 7 day account suspension, 3rd offense and your account is in the hands of the developers.. minimum 30 day suspension up to full account ban.

## Bugs and Investigations

* Please do not go around accusing people and or guilds of cheating, or hacking. If you would like to have a guild, or person investigated, please submit a report. Take screenshots and or video along with a detailed report describing what the issue is to excenric@bloodfin.net or Roses@bloodfin.net and an investigation will be opened immediately into this issue. Staff does not like to see accusations being flung back and forth that hold no merit, and there is no need for it, so please follow the protocol.

* The most important thing we need to investigate ANY of these infractions is a screenshot from you showing a clear shot of the combat log and if possible and image of the infraction. Without a screenshot we can’t do anything with the complaint.
* If you are reported for cheating of any kind the toon, or toons in question can and may be frozen in place until the investigation is competed, or placed in solitary confinement. If you have been found guilty you will be banned or suspended depending on crime according to our punishment guide and or possibly an IP ban from game.
⦁ Yes you have every right to ask to see whatever evidence we have gathered and ask for an appeal and a new set of investigators will then look at the original evidence given and then do their own investigation without seeing what the 1st set of staff members have come up with
⦁ You are responsible for telling any staff member online or sending in a message to Roses@Bloodfin.net  or Excentric@Bloodfin.net  any exploit that you think you may have come across.

## Punishment Policy

* You may not switch from a combat toon to your STAFF toon to handle a situation, please report it to another STAFF member to be handled. Take screenshots of incident just as we would ask said player to do so.
* Do NOT /kill anything unless it involves resolving an issue or unless asked to do so by a DEV. (players bugging the mobs is acceptable just let us know you did so)
* Do NOT /freeze players unless they are being disruptive. Please grab a screenshot to back up your position.
* No unnecessary porting of players to or from locations.
* Please DO NOT discuss potential bugs or hacks in the public channels in-game. Use /tell or, even better, a PM on Facebook or Discord.
* DO NOT harass players on your STAFF toon just because you are a CSR/GM. You’re in-game to help, not hurt, the community.
* DO get to know your CSR/GM commands and create macros for the most commonly used commands (invisible, teleport locations, etc.)
* Only use the commands on your list. We check the logs and can see what commands are being used by whom. Abuse of your powers will result in removal.
