Rules of the game

 

Actual Game rules are an integral part of the User agreement. You agree that you bear sole responsibility for all actions that are done through your account and your access key.

1. Moderation and punishment system

1.1 Moderator - is a representative of the Administration who controls the observance of the rules by Users on the Information resources: in the general chat of the game, on official forums, in official communities.

1.2 Post-moderation - is the process of reviewing logs and messages by a representative or employee of the Administration for violations of the Chat rules and the terms of the Agreement. The Administration has the right to carry out post-moderation at any time, including upon receipt of a complaint.

 

1.3 Private game chats are not available to Moderators, but information about them is stored and can be used in accordance with the Privacy policy. The user has the ability to self-moderate a personal chat through the "blacklist" system.

 

1.4 If a violation of the Game Rules is suspected, sanctions will be imposed on the User, in accordance with section 3.1 of the User agreement, the totality of which is called the system of punishments:

 

1.4.1 Temporary restriction of access to the general chat, called "silence" - can be introduced by the Moderator or the Administration with the notification of the User through the general chat;

 

1.4.2 Temporary restriction of access to private chats can only be introduced by the Administration;

 

1.4.3 If the User regularly (no less than 2 times) violates the Game rules, the Administration has the right to add him to the "Black list" with or without notice. Being on the "black list" leads to an increase in the terms of punishment;

 

1.4.4 If the User systematically and/or grossly violates the Game rules, the Administration has the right to introduce a permanent restriction of access to the general chat and/or private chats. At the same time, the Administration leaves the ability to discuss the possible removal of such a permanent restriction if there is an initiative of the User, but does not guarantee that it will be removed;

 

1.4.5 Restrictive sanctions adopted as a result of Post-moderation may start counting down both from the moment of such Post-moderation and from the moment the User subsequently enters the game;

 

1.4.6 In case of a violation of the Game rules or the Local community rules, the Moderators or the Administration have the right to restrict the User's access to the community on a temporary or permanent basis without mandatory notice.

2. Rights and obligations of moderators

2.1 The moderator is obligated to monitor the chat during their shift;

 

2.2 The moderator is forbidden to comment on previously issued restrictions;

 

2.3 The moderator may, at their discretion (and whenever possible), communicate (for example, say hello, answer questions), as well as publish warnings and reports on their actions.

 

2.4 Moderation, including post-moderation and moderator actions, may not always be carried out in a timely manner, or meet the User's expectations, therefore, in case of any disputable situations, it is recommended to contact User Support Center (feedback) or contact through the official community.

3. Nicknames, names and tags of guilds, signatures

It is forbidden to use nicknames, guild names, and signatures on the forum that do not comply with moral and ethical standards. In the event of such a violation, the Administration may restrict access to chats, change the nickname (with compensation for the change), issue a warning and/or disband the guild that violates the rules. The following is considered in violation of the rules:

3.1 Containing offensive, obscene or obscene language, including veiled or in the form of abbreviations;

3.2 Containing a hint of racial or national superiority, promoting discrimination at all levels;

3.3 Directly or indirectly associated with organizations, as well as historical or political figures, primarily with those who have been convicted by an international tribunal for crimes against humanity and, accordingly, cause a negative reaction among a majority, as well as figures and names of terrorist organizations, including the number of active ones at the moment;

3.4 In any way offensive to a particular ethnic or racial group;

3.5 Directly or indirectly related to sexual intercourse or violence;

3.6 Containing information that may lead to an erroneous perception of this User as a representative of the Administration;

3.7 Plagiarism of nicknames, names and tags of the guild, including by replacing characters with visually similar resemblances;

3.8 Prohibited by applicable laws;

3.9 If nicknames or names were somehow introduced via bypassing technical restrictions (for example, length restrictions, symbols used, etc.), the provisions of the Agreement and the Rules.

Discussion of the measures taken in the in-game chat is prohibited.

5. Local rules and viewpoints

Some sections of the Forum or communities contain local rules posted in a sticky topic or in announcements. They are a supplement to the Rules and serve to decipher the specifics of some sections, but do not nullify the operation of the general Game rules.

We understand that different people may have different views on the assessment of certain actions as violations. We are always available to discuss disciplinary issues, but this does not guarantee that the measures taken will be changed or canceled.
