Survival Rules Drafting

Common

• Absolutely no impersonation of staff members.
• Any rules placed at spawn on the servers supersede the rules here as they will generally be more up-to-date.
• Invisible or glitched players may have their data reset without warning.
• No sharing of illegal content
• No griefing, including but not limited to:
  • Destroying blocks placed by other players.
  • Placing blocks on other player’s structures.
  • Flooding structures.
  • Leaving inappropriate signs on others’ structures.
  • Destroying crops without replanting.
• 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.
• No attempting to place or use banned items (List of banned items below).
• You are responsible for your own account. Anything that is done on your account will be viewed as done by you, and will be treated as such.
• No ban evasion via the use of other accounts.
• 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 repeated complaints get annoying.
• Do not spam chat or abuse commands.
• No advertising of non-nerd.nu servers.
• No NSFW constructions (e.g. giant phallic buildings, swastikas).
• Admins reserve the right to resolve land disputes in a manner they deem appropriate.
• Within 500 blocks of spawn, please do not create:
  • Mob Grinders
  • Auto-harvesting Farms
  • Redstone Loops

Banned Items

• Fire (Flint and Steel).
• TNT.
• Boats.
• Lava and Water Buckets (Lava will be placed at the discretion of the mod handling the request. Admins reserve the right to remove any lava deemed excessive.)

Hacking

• No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection) and WorldGuard(Block protection). Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal.
• Players using modifications to change gameplay may be asked to stop, kicked, or banned with little or no warning depending on the severity of the situation. This includes, but is not limited to: flying, speed modifications, xray/ore-detection, player radars, and duping hacks.
• No use of bugs or exploits to gain an advantage over other players (eg: item duping).

Social

• Please respect all players. Harassment of the staff, or any one else, can result in a kick or a ban.
• No sexism, racism, homophobia or any type of hate speech.
• No offensive or inappropriate skins. Failure to change when asked by a mod will result in a ban until it is changed.

PvP

• No removing blocks from others' structures to enter them unless it is to engage in PvP. Any modifications made to a base must be fixed ASAP. Players involved should not engage in combat while repairs are being made.
• No spawn camping.
• 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
  • Users who do any of these may get warned by a mod or kicked/banned by an admin.
• 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.

Banning policy

• In most cases, an attempt at establishing communication will be made prior to a ban. However, during certain times the server can be very busy, and depending on reason for the ban, you may not be warned. In situations where the player is significantly changing the game environment, they may be banned without any warning.
• You may appeal bans by following the appeals process at: http://nerd.nu/appeal
• If you are banned, please do not make a subreddit post or it may be removed & ignored.
• Lifting bans is done entirely at the discretion of the mods / admins, and conditions may be imposed if a ban is lifted.
