Try to maintain proper spelling and grammar.

B. Website Behaviour
Do not make topics or posts aiming to insult or provoke other people or groups, and do not promote or encourage others to make such posts.

Do not reply to topics with irrelevant, meaningless, or spammy text/images.
Do not "bump" topics by posting something that does not contribute constructively to the topic.
All personal issues must be dealt with in private. The public forums are not the place for personal conflicts.
Criticism of the work of others, both staff and the larger community, must be delivered with politeness and personal respect.
Do not make topics just to announce that you are quitting the game or the server. Exceptions may be made if you are quitting for a very interesting reason, like you are dying, or sailing around the world.
Announcements about dramatic events befalling yourself or others must include a verifiable source for the information. If we cannot easily verify the story, the topic may be removed. Deliberate hoaxes of this nature are considered very serious infractions.
Do not reply to a topic that you feel is violating the rules, submit a report instead. Intentionally lying in a report is considered an infraction.

Unless you are explaining the report process, you may not encourage others to report a specific player.
Please do not publicly accuse any players of hacking. If you believe a player is hacking or breaking any rules report them using the /report command.

You may not link to, or solicit players to join, any server public or private that is not part of the Oblivion Network in public chat. (You may use the /msg command to inform players that request it).
Your username must be appropriate, and you may be asked to use a different account if your username is found to be inappropriate. (This does not count as ban evasion.)
If you have access to the /nick command, any chosen nickname should be designed to confer anonymity, not attention. You may not use /nick to impersonate others, and you may not use an inappropriate nickname.
Note All chat messages and commands are logged. Note You may link to your Oblivion Network related livestream, so long as you don’t spam it.
E. General Gameplay
Players may not abuse glitches. This includes, but is not limited to, placing blocks in areas restricted by the plugin to walk on, creating an "x-ray" effect, and causing yourself to be invincible.

Teamkilling (either by removing blocks from beneath a person to cause them to fall, or pushing teammates off the world)

Taking all or almost all of the wool in a Capture the Wool map out of a wool room, unless there is only one wool left in that wool room
Any actions that are not listed here that hinder your team’s progress towards winning the match, deliberate or not, still fall under "team griefing" and may be dealt with as such.
Note Players are NEVER permitted to team grief, even in retaliation to another team griefer.
H. Map Specific Rules
All players are responsible for keeping up to date with all map rules. Map rules are found on map rule boards at that map’s spawn, and via the /map command.
The rules in /map take precedent over the rule board in cases regarding the same subject.
I. Consequences
Players may receive an in game warning or an infraction for breaking any of the rules above, depending on the severity of the violation.
The severity of the infraction is usually based on the player’s previous infractions.
In particularly serious or blatant cases of rules violation, including but not limited to using a hacking client on the servers, or consistently team griefing despite moderator intervention, will result in an immediate permanent ban, without warning.
Players with many warnings for the same rule may be temporarily banned without notice.
Ban evasion is not permitted and will result in a permanent ban for all alternate accounts associated with the evading player. The alternate accounts will not be unbanned once the original ban expired, and the original ban may be extended up to thrice the length of the original ban. (e.g. 1 week ban becomes up to a 3 week ban).
Persistent ban evasion will result in a permanent ban for all accounts.
Players violating any forum rules may be banned from posting to the forums.
Players violating any Mumble rules may be kicked or banned from the Mumble server.
Players violating the rules on any Oblivion Network service, including the game servers, the forums, and Mumble, may be banned from any or all of the services.
