Make reports to staff members but preferably Game Police. For information in how to contact staff see here:

Relogging
On certain maps if you relog you will be warped to the drop ship. To avoid deaths players will do this. If done enough times you will be punished. Once is an accident, twice is pushing it and three times, your done.
Idling for extended periods of time also falls under this rule. Judging what an extended period of time is will be left up to the GP enforcing the rules.
Punishment will be:
-forced to sacrifice your bounty to the Spar Bot
-/lock for an hour
Staff Impersonation
No matter what the circumstance is, don't impersonate staff members.
Directly - Making account names similar to staff members claiming your them E.G. jkool777, Tenchry_P3P, pooper20000
In-Directly - Claiming that the account you are on is staff. E.G. "I unknown123 am a staff member, listen to me or you will be banned."
Punishment will be:
-/kick from game play
-Forced to alter nickname (to something appropriate)
-/lock If fails to alter nickname
Door Blocking
If your somehow preventing players from moving upon entering doorways then that’s illegal. Also if you block a path for an extended period of time making them unable to pass that’s illegal. Shooting/Melee at doorways is still alright, except for with Mortars. Players will be removed from game play and explained to what their doing is wrong.
Punishment will be:
-/kick from game play
-/lock if continues
Spar door blocking
If you somehow use weapons to lame the door and the near vicinity of the door that is considered to be spar door blocking. Examples of this can be using gas grenades.
Shooting at the door is still considered legal. If the player can not enter the door without taking damage, that will be considered spar door blocking.
Punishment will be:
-Warning
- If it continues excessively /kick from dropship
-/lock
Box Blocking
Blocking doorways and the bottoms/tops of staircases with boxes is illegal. Don’t do it
.
Punishment will be:
-Your boxes destroyed
-/kick from game play
-/lock if continues
Harassment
Insulting other players is against the rules. Everyone is here to have fun, not get mad at one another. Insults don’t include calling people “noob” or anything. Players making the insults will be separated and ordered to stop the harassment. Being sexist or racist will result punishments to start at the “!” mark.
Punishment will be:
-/kick to separate
! -if harassment continues /lock
! -if harassment continues in dropships /mute (the Staff member enforcing the rules will warn of the consquences one final time before using /mute)
-if harassment continues when /mute comes off, most likely a Minor Ban
*Rule does not apply for players insulting staff members. Staff are given permission to /kick players that insult them until the player stops. If all the staff member is doing is /kick'ng the player, they are allowed to /mute them, NOT /lock them.
*I will step in as well if the harrasement doesn't stop (you don't want that because I have better punishment rights
)
Rules in Events
Breaking rules will result in punishment. Rules are displayed before events are hosted. Follow these rules. Its recommended no one uses the zone trading feature during events either.
Punishment will be:
-/kick from event
-if continues, /lock until Events are finished
Glitches
Any type of glitch abusing giving yourself an unfair advantage over other players is against the rules. You will be made aware what your doing is illegal, but after that no excuses.
Punishment will be:
-/kick from game play
-if glitching continues /lock
-if glitching continues on alternate days, most likely a Ban
For more information on how to spot certain glitches see here:
“Insert link some time”
Hacking
Any type of cheating device that’s detected will result in a ban ASAP. And don't think of being smart and using a trial file please, you can be ID/IP banned. If caught hacking ETs have permission to use any command they have to prevent you from playing (providing it doesn't conflict with other players playing).
For more information on hacks see here:

Misc.
If you evade punishment made, it is the GPs decision if you will be banned. Relogging to escape punishment after being warned multiple times will result in bans.

EDIT: This is not an exact list of how long you will be punished for a specific act. It is within the GPs and Admins rights to make their own judgement on how a player should be punished. Example: If you do a minor glitch over and over you may only recieve a 7 day ban, but if you do major glitches over and over you may get up to a 30 day ban.
If you feel you were punished unfairly, contact the GP/Admin via Forum PMs or use the Support Center (
