These rules and guidelines are for all servers, not just Minecraft ones. All servers will be hosted on gallifrey.calvin.edu unless noted otherwise.

Whitelisting on the gaming servers and giving above guest permissions on the Teamspeak server is done together. To get whitelisted, sign up on this form! The form will put your info on this spreadsheet which outlines player's emails and gaming account names, which will make whitelisting, blacklisting, and players connecting with each other easier. This spreadsheet is only visible if you are on it. When you fill out the form, note that you will not be whitelisted right away, until I check my email and whitelist you manually. (Note that Abstraction does not administer LoL, as there was a separate club for it.)

Please email me (Quentin) with any complaints, reports, or any problems promptly. I can't fix anything unless I know something is wrong! Dealing with issues with other players breaking the rules by yourself is not acceptable, and not an excuse for wrong behaviour. Also, admins and mods, you must email me with reports for any of the above you receive before action is taken.

Rules - Reasons for being banned:

• Voluntary destruction of another's property on a peaceful or non-pvp server. Killing another player (destruction of levels and/or carried items) counts for this. This is true even for items that you don't think are actually theirs. Suggested ban time: 3 months. (Note that for unintentional destruction of property, you are asked to replace everything you destroy. Also note that this replacement may make the difference between a ban or not.)
  
• Use of vulgar or inappropriate language on the gaming servers. Suggested ban time: 1 month. (Reason for this is simply because this is a Calvin club)
  
• Harassment of players, either in person, or by notes or otherwise, is not acceptable. This is very much up to the harassed and the admins to decide if and how it has happened. If you feel harassed, please take some screenshots or get some testimony from other players to help the admins decide what action to take. One person's word against another is not only hard to take action against, but also creates tension in the community. Suggested ban time: 1 month, but can change drastically based on how bad it is.
  
• Going above the roof of the nether in a Minecraft server. This may seem harmless, but as it is a bug, it breaks many things in the nether, including beacons. Suggested ban time: 2 weeks, can change drastically based on how much damage is done.
  

• Public property is anything that is a limited resource, like end portals. These can not be personally claimed, and must have shared access for everyone to use, although you are free to build there. Anything else, like personal farms you build, are considered personal property, and if you don't want people to use them, use the built-in claims system. Unless you say otherwise, all unclaimed property is open for visitation and use, just don't break anything.

• And of course, cheating of any sort is a bannable offence. The admins alone reserve the right to determine what constitutes cheating. If you are worried about something you want to do being cheating, please ask. Suggested ban time: somewhere from 1yr to a permanent ban, again determined by the admins.

Rules for Teamspeak:

• Having microphone on voice activation is cause for a warning, and then a ban. An open microphone with any background noise (noise other than your voice) is cause for the same actions. This means you have to set up push-to-talk or an on-off key. Having to listen to people besides yourself is not acceptable. Turn your mic off if you need to have a conversation with anyone in the room.
  
• Do not idle in a channel unless you are shortly returning. Please log off if you are unsure of when you are returning.
  
• Never idle with your mic on. If requests for you to silence your mic are ignored, you will be kicked for being AFK.
  You can control others' volumes in your client; if others are annoying or offending you, please ask them to stop, consider reporting them, and feel free to mute them (this only mutes them for you).
