This page outlines the official rules for the Nerd.nu Gaming Community. For additional policy information please see the [[Server_Policies|Server Policies]] page
*Absolutely no impersonation of staff members.
*No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection), WorldGuard(Block protection), and GriefAlert. Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal.
*Invisible or glitched players may have their data reset without warning.
*No sharing of illegal content.
*No blatant sexism, racism, or hate speech targeted at specific users.
*No griefing, including but not limited to: destroying blocks placed by other players, flooding structures, spamming items, leaving inappropriate signs on others’ structures, destroying plants  (none of these apply to chaos)
*No "grief-baiting".  This means that players cannot try to get other players in trouble by tricking/forcing them to destroying structures in an attempt to get the player warned or banned.  This will fall under our umbrella "Don't be a dick." rule and will (if abused enough) result in a ban.
*No placing banned items (banned items are specific to each server)
*Players blatantly using modifications to change gameplay may be asked to stop, kicked, or banned with little warning.  This includes, but is not limited to: flying, noclip, invincibility, speed, and duping hacks.
*Don't be a dick (the staff reserves the right to mess with dicks...in a completely asexual and extremely self-depriving yet generous way)
*No trolling in chat (Don’t spam the chat with useless twaddle)
*You are responsible for your own account.  If your account is used by someone else for griefing the server in any way, it will be banned. Please do not message the moderators with the excuse that someone else used your account. We have no way to verify this, and as such, it will not be tolerated as an excuse.
*If you are banned under one account you cannot play on other accounts on the server while the ban is still in effect. Caught playing on alt accounts while your main account is banned will result in your alt accounts being permanently banned.
*Any rules placed at spawn on the servers supersede the rules here as they will generally be more up-to-date.
*Please respect all players. Blatant harassment of the staff, or any one else, can result in a kick or a ban.
*Please don’t complain about lag or server restarts.  It’s a fact of life, our technical admins are constantly working to smooth the experience, and it gets annoying.  They do their best to prevent rollbacks.  Since they are working for zero profit and yet give us such a nice set of servers and/or playing experience please treat the techies like the majestic beasts they are.
*Do not spam /modreq (mod requests) with silly requests or things which cannot/do not need to be resolved by staff.
*No offensive or inappropriate skins. Failure to change when asked by a mod will result in a ban until it is changed.
*No NSFW constructions (e.g. giant phallic buildings).


= [[pve|PvE]] =
= '''ALL SERVICES''' =
*Banned Items:
*'''Be respectful and civil toward your fellow players'''
**Fire (flint and steel)
**No harassment or excessive trolling
**TNT
**No bigotry / hate speech including but not limited to ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion.
**Boats
**No disruptive arguments/discussions in global chat
**Water and Lava Buckets
***Staff will ask you to take these to private message or clanchat if you wish to continue.
***If you need water or lava placed please make a /modreq
**No public accusations of rule-breaking or discussion of bans
*All placed banned items (water, lava, etc) must be protected by a moderator after they are placed.
***To report rule violations, make a /modreq ingame or contact a staff member.
*Buckets are for milk only
**No “ban baiting”
*Redstone mechanisms and dispensers may be removed at moderator discretion; abuse of these may result in a ban
***Ban baiting is enticing or aggravating someone into saying or doing something that will result in a ban – this may result in a ban for both parties.
*No killing other players with any means. This includes, but is not limited to: Dropping lava on or around them, dropping blocks on them, or pushing them and forcing them to fall. Additionally, no traps designed to kill other players.  
**Do not build too close to another player’s build (see [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/PvE_Information_Guide PVE] or [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/Creative_Information_Guide Creative] FAQ for details)
*The current PvE map is very beautiful but also very height-disadvantaged for players. As such we will warn/kick players who continuously build what are known as 'tard-towers' (towers that are only a single block wide) that tarnish the landscape. If you wish to reach floating islands or higher elevations please at least add ladders to these sorts of towers or create stairs.  Be respectful of the map and do not mar the experience or view for other players.
**No posting personal information (i.e. doxxing)
<!--*Do not lead creepers to other users' creations with the intention of destroying their stuff. If this happens accidentally its your responsibility to fix it.-->
**No offensive/inappropriate constructions or skins
*Don't Build any structure within 40-50 blocks from any StarGates.
**No impersonating other players, particularly staff
*Large unique trees such as redwoods and acacias do not regrow, and may be part of an individual or community's landscaping. Destruction of said landscaping constitutes griefing, so if there is any doubt whatsoever as to the state of these trees, do not cut them down.
***This includes both claiming to be another person or staff, as well as changing your screen name in a way that can be thought to be another user. In these instances your account may be banned until you can change the name again.  
*Grinders need registering in the grinder room under spawn. They are portals for mods only, admins need to make them.
**Client mods that give a distinct advantage to an individual are not allowed. Click here for the list of [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/Approved_client_mods approved client mods]
*Grinders must be protected and have an incinerator (destroys drops when no one is using, like cactus or lava)
**No killing/stealing mobs "owned" by other players
***This includes any named mobs, mobs that are enclosed/restrained, claimed pet-type mobs and villagers. “Hostile mob” pets must be enclosed such that players cannot enter and be harmed (without breaking in).
**You may not trap or kill players except in designated arenas
***This includes player traps or indirect forms or killing such as placing lava or using mobs
**You may not restrict access to your builds - the map should be open for exploration
***Exceptions to this on PvE would include: a structure to hold villagers for trading; killing box of iron grinders (assuming iron is available to the public); small containers housing “pet” hostile mobs.

***Unbanning of all alt accounts will be done by an administrator or higher.
***At the discretion of an admin, alternate accounts could remain banned if we believe that the person appealing isn't the actual owner.
***Bans for the alt accounts will include the name of their "main" account.


===PVP===
*Do not prevent players from entering their base after PvP encounters, post-spawning. A moderator or admin may ask you to move along if you appear to be doing so.
*No removing blocks from others' structures to enter them unless doing so seems like the only viable option to engage in PvP. Any modifications made to a base must be reverted back to its original state. If you die during the PvP encounter, you are expected to fix what you broke ASAP. Players involved should not engage in combat while repairs are being made.
*No spawn camping. Do not hang out on the edge of spawn waiting for players to leave, only to kill them when they attempt to do so.
*Using login as a function of PvP is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to:
**Logging off while engaged in combat.
**Relogging to gain an advantage such as invulnerability for PvP or to prevent fall damage while being chased.
**Timing logins to attack players at specific locations.
**Playing with multiple accounts to give yourself a PvP-related advantage may get the player warned by a mod and if shown to be used to give the player an advantage by an admin may get the user kicked/banned from the server.
*No use of LWC-locked blocks for the purpose of base defense or personal protection. LWC should be used to protect the items within them, nothing else.
*Anything unlocked may be looted. You are not to take someones unlocked block(griefing), nor lock it, but you may take the contents within.
