Always get proof (Demos/Screenshots) before you ban or accuse somebody of cheating or of doing something illegal or of being abusive. Post the proof(s) on forums. Remember! To spectate those suspicious players, always use the "/follow playerslot" command in your console.When supplying a demo to forum, rename the demo to the player name eg. player.dm_84. Also post what server the suspected cheating happened.
Even up rule & explanation:
If you !balance doesn't mean that you don't need to switch and just use. You, as a member/admins, should be the first to switch teams to even. Those who will be abuse it will be take off this command. Remember, Admins and members are meant to be the first to switch when uneven.
Example: if you're in a team a lot stronger then the other would be nice if you switch to the other team that has one player less then yours to even up and make the game more enjoyable
Example 1: your opponent team has 2 less players then yours, even up asap!
Example 2: if your team is losing badly and you end up being with 2 extra player I would honestly just stay in your team and help them out, it you would be kinda lame if you switch, no offense.
Admins/Members Guidelines
- !shuffle - Use this at the warm up of the map and use it when you notice one team is a lot stronger then the other or when a map ends less then 5-10 minutes. Finishing a map quick means that we lose players on our servers which means empty server, we do not want that
- !gshow - Its better then !howfair. You can use whenever you want
- !balance - Before using this ask in mainchat if someone wants to switch if no one answers then use it
- !pip & !pop - Silly commands in my opinion but funny
- !gib - Use this whenever you find a player doing spawn killing or not respecting our rules. !warn should be used prior to !gib (for knew players especially)
- !setlevel -1 - Use this really careful. Use it on player who keep abusing, trolling or whatever and take their info. Do not forget to make a post about the abuse player and posting their infos. A screenshot or demo is required in order to provide evidence.
- !lol - Do not kill players ingame with !lol with the exception of a bugged bot holding the objective and not moving. (Don't think we have this issue on any maps atm.) Spamming !lol in warmup is not acceptable.
- !nextmap -Make sure the players agree with you if there is only a few on server (late night etc.) If there has been a failed nextmap vote, do NOT use !nextmap. Calling a nextmap vote is always preferred to using the !nextmap command. Do not use !nextmap between maps. The wait is not long and people want to check out their stats.
- !endmap - Member who has the command should make sure that the players agree with this decision and only with a few online (late night etc...)
- !putteam - Do not !putteam players randomly to even teams, this is perceived as rude and intrusive. Ask the players first or move someone who wants to switch. As a TM member it is your responsibility to help keep the teams even, so move yourself or request someone to change teams. If this fails multiple times and teams are very uneven, consider a shuffle.
- !putteam to put people who are AFK to spectators is fine, but wait a few spawns or go spec them to make sure they are not just looking out the window for a second or in the limbo menu.
- !mute -Give at least 1 warning before muting someone, another before muting them again and a final warning before freezing/kicking them.
-
!kick and !ban - Members who have access to this command should post in the kicks and bans thread when a player has been kicked or banned.
Before you kick or ban, warn the player with the !warn command. If there is an extremely obvious cheat you can use the ban command directly, but in most cases try to warn first.
On command usage aimed at fellow members:
*You should not use !gib, !warn, !mute, !kick or especially !ban commands on other clan members, if there is an issue about something discuss it on the forums not on the game, the server is for gaming the forums is for discussing !!!
After you warned the player and you want to kick or ban the player, first use the !finger or !userinfo command. Post a screenshot of this or copy this info to the kicks/bans thread along with the server this was done on.
Spawn Killing Rules
-
Fixed (normal) spawns
Spawnkill on fixed spawns in not allowed, with any kind of weapons, on our servers. This includes spawncamping at the spawnexits. There is no legit reason in which you are allowed to spawnkill other players. As a note, mortaring near an spawnexit is also not allowed!
-
Capturable flag/spawn
Spawnkilling at capturable flag/spawn is allowed. The only weapon which is not allowed at capturable flags/spawns are mortars. As a note, mortaring near an spawnexit is also not allowed!
-
Command post
Spawnkilling at command posts is allowed. The only weapon which is not allowed at command posts are mortars. As a note, mortaring near an spawnexit is also not allowed!
-
Spawnpassing
On some maps running through a spawn is a strategic way to get to the objectives. Therefor spawnpassing is allowed. As soon as you get shot at you are allowed to defend yourself by shooting back. This is ONLY allowed with light weapons as thompson, mp40, pistols, carbine, sniper. Any form of grenades and heavy weapons is not allowed!
As the rules regarding spawnkilling is clear above we expect everyone to follow these rules. As this clear explination is being released a lot of players might not be aware of this update. Please refer players to the forums regarding the spawnkill rules so that everyone gets to know them a.s.a.p. Happy fragging!
