If one or more of the rules above are disobeyed, or if you are not contributive towards the server, you will be demoted.
For a clarification on what the rules above are asking, please refer to the table in the spoiler below:
- Spoiler:
Ban log - All staff members are required to post in the Ban log upon banning somebody from the game. The ban log can be found in the VIP section of the forums, only visible to staff.
Event log - To keep track of most of the in game wealth distributed amongst players and to avoid duplication, we ask that all staff members post in the event log, also found in the VIP section, after hosting an event.
Over Socialization - Staff members are expected to contribute to the server. Over socializing is not contributive. We ask that staff members keep their socialization at a controlled level. Do not hangout with friends when you could be hosting events, searching for hackers, monitoring forums & XAT, or helping players.
Hacking - Some events require hacks to host, such as Terrorist, Platform 16, or other bomb events. Use of the "God Mode" or "Anti-Death" hacks are only permitted by staff members in events that require hacks.
Items - Staff members are not permitted to give any items whatsoever to Interns or players. Interns will be promoted with their wealth, nothing will be added or removed from their inventory. Interns are not allowed to increase their account's wealth during their shift as an Intern. Intern's mules must not transfer wealth to or from the staff character. If an Intern is promoted to GM, they are allowed to make items but may not transfer items to or from characters & accounts. Once a staff member has been demoted or resigned, the GM is trusted and expected to rid the account of any items created as staff. If suspected of keeping or disclosing items made by him/her, their account may be wiped or even banned.
Abusing Powers - Abusing powers is defined as using your powers in a malicious way when unnecessary. This includes repeatedly killing, healing, muting, seducing, and so forth when uncalled for.
Conversing with !say & !notice - If you would like to converse over a channel broadcast, please avoid doing so with !say or !notice. You may use !dsay or @smega when wanting to converse. Please keep !say for when you are answering a question, stating rules, or saying something important. !notice is only to be used for server restarts, server reminders, and so forth.
AFKing - Please avoid AFKing as a staff member. Players may need help and they may think you are ignoring them, which can result in harsh feelings or false reports. If you are not going to be playing the game, please log off.
Player Requests - You must not ignore player requests. Player requests are considered anything from a question, to a DS egg transaction. You must attend trades if requested, answer questions, or trade DS eggs.
You also acknowledge that it is your duty to perform the following tasks:
I. Be Active In-Game, Forums, and XAT
II. Moderate Game, Forums, and XAT
III. Host Professional and organized events
IV. Punish hackers and/or rule breakers
V. Carry out the ban/unban processes
If you feel you cannot adhere to these rules, please do not apply.
