1. Insults (Players - Staff - Community)

• You need to generate a chatlog (/chatlog name) or if you have a screenshot, the entire conversation should be visible in the screenshots, press F2 to capture the entire screen.
• Insulting, threatening, using vulgar language, or speaking vulgarly to another player in the server's public chat is prohibited, whether through signs, clan names and tags, or through item lores, books, etc.

Please treat the game as such and do not exceed the limits of common sense. If you believe that the staff or donors have abused their power, please report them immediately on the forum: Complaints.



2. Spam and CAPS LOCK

The purpose of this rule is to prevent chat congestion and hindrance with repeated or unrelated messages to Minecraft gameplay.

• You are not allowed to "spam" in the chat, which means repeating the same message multiple times or writing a message on multiple lines.
• Discussions that are unrelated to the game or the server also fall under the category of "spam." You will receive a warning for two repeated messages of the same kind, and on the third offense, you will be given a 1-point mute.
• Abusing the CAPS LOCK button is not allowed. The first offense is not penalized, but in case of continued abuse, you will receive a 1-point mute.
