3.12 The SWGEmu Team encourages the reporting of any and all exploits. You are required to immediately report and discontinue use of all discovered exploits or face disciplinary action listed below.
3.13. You may not submit excessive tickets to the bug ticket system. As SWGEmu is still in Alpha, the staff are aware that numerous bugs are present. While we encourage users to submit tickets on all issues that they find, we are a small team. Users are highly encouraged to keep unanswered or open tickets to 10 or less until the game enters Beta testing. Excessive ticketing or spamming the ticket system with the intention of griefing the staff are subject to disciplinary actions. Please search our knowledge base before submitting a ticket to see if the issue has been addressed. 3.13.1 Note: "Roleplaying" and "Testing the Server Stability" does not grant license to violate these rules. You may not operate a Player Association (Guild) that habitually violates these rules. 4.1 You will follow the instructions of authorized personnel while in SWGEmu Test Center or forums. Failure to follow instructions from SWGEmu personnel may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account that may include warnings, temporary bans or terminations. 4.2 NOTE: Be aware that your actions have consequences. If you choose to duel under a gentleman's agreement and the other player still deathblows, staff will NOT intervene. These rules do NOT cover gentleman's agreements unless it is a Staff run Event. At an event, Gentleman Agreement rules will be annouced and if you break the rules, you will be kicked from the event and from the server. If you duel you take the chance of deathblow each and every time. Last edited by TAfirehawk; 09-12-2010 at 07:58 PM. Reason: Updated on Sept 12, 2010 |
