The Allied Army is a community; the tag is a recognition of superior conduct, sportsmanship and time spent in the servers. As such, all [AA] members are held to a higher standard--not of skill, but of attitude and sportsmanship. These 'guidelines' are very serious. Any member of [AA] who violates them will find themselves removed as quickly as they joined. There are many who might doubt that such swift and certain action will be taken, but, we, your fellow teammates, take your conduct very seriously.

[AA] Players will abide by the Server Public Player Rules as well as the following;

1. Do not mistreat new players. In fact, do your very best to answer their questions and provide assistance. Pair up with a newer player and let him or her benefit from your experience.

2. Obey all server rules without question. By being [AA] you are considered forewarned of the rules, so no mercy shall be shown to those who blatantly violate them.

3. Do not accuse ANYONE of cheating. If someone is cheating in the servers, get their WonID and take a demo of it. Feel free to contact an admin either through IM, through the forums, or through Email. It is the Admin's job to determine if someone is cheating, not yours.

4. Never argue in the servers! Ever! Any dispute you have with anyone can be calmly and rationally discussed either in the forums, an IM or on Ventrilo. There is no excuse for arguing in the servers, and violaters will be dealt with meaning ALL sides of the argument will be looked at. If you are upset at the poor conduct of another, you may contact an administrator or by utilizing any of the aforementioned means of communication with Allied Army. Screen caps and/or demos are usually helpful when you need an admin to resolve a dispute.

5. If you have a problem with an admin's behavior, take your demos and screen caps and contact Madness directly.

6. Anyone caught cheating in Allied Army will be immediately and permanently banned from all current and future servers as well as the forums.

7. Administrators are responsible for creating a competitive and pleasant server experience for ALL players. Administrators are expected to use their powers judiciously. ALWAYS warn a player that they are in trouble first. Give them the reason why and politely ASK them to stop. If the action continues, warn them again with a CSAY (administrative chat warning). If the message is not getting through, step one should be a Bury/Slap/Slay. Step 2 will be a kick. Step 3 will be a ban. All server bans must be reported via posting on the forum to Madness. Under no circumstances will an admin use Godmode/noclip/givehealth/gravity etc. for competitive advantage. EVER. This is grounds for the immediate removal of their administrative rights and a possible permanent ban from being an admin for cheating by creating an unfair environment for everyone else.

Remember, by wearing the [AA] tag you represent us to the online gaming community, especially our visitors. Skill is unimportant; attitude is everything. In that regard, we expect you to be the best of the best. Have fun, and play fair.

If we ever see excessive use of foul language or discussions on the topics of sexual abuse, incest, satanism, semitism, homosexuality and racism we will address the perpetrator(s) directly. We will explain to them in no uncertain terms, that we do not find this material acceptable nor will we tolerate it to continue. If they should persist and disregard this issue, then we will remind them that they are here in our forums by invitation only, and that invitation will be immediately revoked and they're behavior will change immediately. Third offense, you will be removed from the Allied Army and banned from the forums as well as both current and any future servers. This is and will remain, a zero tolerance policy.

 

Tim (Madness)
