Rules

By joining the KoG servers (in-game and on Discord) you agree to follow the rules listed below.

Failure to comply with the rules will result in punishment as outlined below.

General Rules and Expectations

1. Moderators have discretion if something is against the rules. Don’t go out looking for trouble. We don’t want to have to punish anyone and we want everybody to be able to enjoy the servers. But, if you can’t conduct yourself properly then we will have to take action. Actions will be taken outside the scope of these rules if deemed necessary

2a. Please be polite to each other. Obviously, people are never going to universally agree on anything, all we ask is that everyone remains courteous in your demeanour towards other players. Please refer to punishments for more info

2b. For any functional community, the members need to be able to disagree with each other. Disagreements and moderate amounts of arguing will be tolerated. However, moderators will step in and take action in cases where the conversation is crossing the line. Such as: Use of offensive language or insults, or where one individual behaves in a overly toxic fashion while the other(s) remain courteous

2c. Political Discussions: We aim to maintain a friendly and inclusive environment for all players and therefore political discussions are not allowed on the servers or in any of KoG’s Discord channels. This includes any form of promoting or slandering towards political figures, parties, or ideologies

2d. The use of language that is derogatory or offensive to any particular group or individual is prohibited, including slurs based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other personal characteristic

3. One player, One name, One account. Do not finish maps for others. Do not register more than one account. The same applied for Discord. Only one account per player is allowed

4a. The following will not be tolerated in any form: NSFW posts, Discrimination (Racism, Homophobia, Sexism etc.). messages wishing bodily harm to other players and spreading private info about other players without their consent. Any offences regarding this will not be taken lightly

4b. Sharing private information about other players without their consent (doxxing) is strictly prohibited. This behavior can put individuals at risk of harassment, stalking, or other serious harm. Any players found engaging in doxxing will be subject to permanent bans and possibly reported to authorities

Game Rules

5a. Do not use a client that will provide you with an unfair advantage over other players. Also, do not advertise such clients to other players. In other words, do not cheat, and don’t tell other people about clients that would allow you to cheat (This includes, for example, automated advertising whispers)

5b. Do not deliberately impede other players playing. As in, do not block, “troll” or ruin for others playing the game. Of course you can have fun but make sure everyone involved is “in” on the joke before you engage in these actions

5c. Abusive vote kicks (“funvotes”) are not allowed. Players should have a legitimate reason for kicking a player. Abusing this system will result in punishments

5d. If a group is racing, do not deliberately change the map. You must wait until they either fail or finish. You can always use another server. Mistakes do happen, of course, please keep that in mind. Just look/ask before you change map

5e. There is an automated anti-cheat program present on game servers. We will generally not reverse the automated bans made by this program. See info

5f. Using any VPN/Proxy or similar services on our servers is strictly prohibited. This is to ensure security, fairness, and network stability

Discord Rules

6a. Copypastas, irrelevant image spam, unrelated discord server links posted without mod team approval, and other disruptive (“spammy”) messages are prohibited

6b. Bot commands should, of course, remain in #⁠botspam

6c. Memes are allowed as long as they are not used excessively, and the memes themselves follow all other rules and are appropriate (PG-13). If they are off-topic to the conversation at hand, please keep them in #off-topic. (Memes concerning the KoG community can be found/posted in #⁠kog_spam_meme, with permission)

6d. Continued use of caps will be considered as spam

6e. Abide by discords TOS (https://discord.com/terms) and Community Guidelines (https://discord.com/guidelines)

6f. Alt accounts will be banned. Same goes for new members who will not participate with, or have no relation to, the KoG community. (scams, nsfw, etc)

6g. Distributing, showcasing, promoting and glorifying bot clients and/or users will not be tolerated
