House of Fools Detailed Rules and Suggested Actions
This level system is intended for the benefit of the administrators and moderators. As always, your discretion and judgment is key. Try to warn people before taking further action, but some offenses do not require any warning beforehand. Matters should be handled quickly, smoothly and quietly. These levels represent the first step in the process. For repeat offenders, and at your discretion, please move down the levels and make the punishments more severe with every repeated offense.
Level 0 Offense = Mute, Forced Name Change, Show Rules, etc.
Level 1 Offense = Private Message Warning
Level 2 Offense = Kick
Level 3 Offense = Extended Kick
Level 4 Offense = Temporary Ban
Level 5 Offense = Permanent Ban
This Level System regards what should be done at the time of the offense and if the offense continues. Offense 0 is a special case for those who make unintelligent mistakes, but need to be dealt with.
Rule #1- Wearing {HoF} Tag Illegally: Offense Level 0
Wearing the {HoF} tag on any servers without the consent of K@RR_{HoF}.
Rule #2- Excessive Camping: Offense Level 1
Any sort of attack on the opposite team crippling them from playing the game or obtaining weapons in their own base for an extended period of time to the point of being unnecessary. The key word here is excessive, to the point of disrupting the game.
Rule #3- Purposeful False Accusations: Offense Level 1
Seriously blaming players of breaking the rules that they did not break (with no proof) for whatever reason.
Rule #4- Teamkilling: Offense Level 1
Any attack on allies that is intended to cause them damage or death.
Rule #5- Waisting Team Ammo: Offense Level 1
Purposely using up any team ammo, especially the RX, with no apparent purpose related to winning the game.
Rule #6- Harassment or Verbal Abuse: Offense Level 2
This rule requires administrator or moderator discretion. Any written language which directly or indirectly intends to offend another player, whether it involves game or non-game related material. Any excessive taunting with hateful language. Please note: Having some anger or joking after a loss and cursing at you in passing does not fit into this category. You must discern the intention and content behind a message.
Rule #7- Harmful Aliasing: Offense Level 2
Using another respected players name as your own, without the permission of that person.
Rule #8- Advertising/Recruiting: Offense Level 2
Advertising other servers, websites, products, clans, or anything else to players with the intent of detouring players.
Rule #9- Cheating/Hacking in Any Way: Offense Level 5
Any sort of cheating caught on the servers using outside programs or mal-manipulation of UT files and programming faults.
Rule #10- Racism: Offense Level 5
Any slur or intimation that may or may not be directed at someone and is seen as offensive to any race, color, creed, gender, etc.
These are the 10 Major Rules of the House of Fools and may be seen in the eyes of all players as fair and just. As K@RR_{HoF} wisely stated: "[Everything] may not be posted in the rules but we still have guidelines to maintain a smooth running server and anything that negatively impacts the game will be moderated, which is at the discretion of any admin/mod in the game."
