I am puting up a dummies guide to GA's T&C's on GameArena, I think I have it covered, just browse it and see what you think.

================================================== ===

After a number of times of people not understanding how the T&C's (http://games.bigpond.com/pc/support/tandc.php) relate to TFC, I have clarified some of how these relate to conducting yourself while playing TFC.

2 week ban after warning:
Armour stripping (shooting detpacking crowbarring or gren spamming team mates).
Deliberatly infecting team mates while you are infected.
Building SG's or dispensers in doorways blocking entry.
Spamming microphone/text chat.*
Continued abusive behaviour or bad language.
Deliberatly disadvantaging your team by any means.(This includes sniper truces)

* Players shouldn't have to mute someone being a fool, and being forced to mute is considered disruptive play which is against the t&c.

Permanent ban:
Cheating or exploits*.
Attempting to crash the server.
Display pornographic sprays.
Display link to cheat site.
Ban avoiding.

* Exploits include "multi weapon hack" "wallhacking by any means"

If you see someone who breaks these rules, demo him, get his wonid and submit an incident report (http://games.bigpond.com/pc/services/incident/?action=report). DO NOT POST ABOUT IT HERE .

================================================== ===

yes just about covers it... tho you have your own vigilante system of reporting ppls in these forums we can use eh ?

[PtP]

Yes thats fine too, this is a draft that is going to be posted on GA itself.

[barelia]

whats wrong with building dispencers in the door ways? I understand sgs though...

[EpharGy]

i see nothing wrong with building any buiildings anywwhere, unless it stops your own teammates from getting somewhere, other than that it should be fair game, i mean it can be destroyed. i might as well opint out that some leagues ban holding the lift up with a dispenser up the top of the lift in shutdown2 as illegal tactics

[PtP]

Building SG's or dispensers in doorways blocking entry.

Can it be any clearer? It says BLOCKING ENTRY

And eph it can not be destroyed by team mates, you obviously havnt been stuck in rock2 spawns because some tool have built his sg in front of it, and the dispenser can be used in another map to do the same thing (which I am not going to mention).

[EpharGy]

well wouldnt that be blocking exit?

hmm, i spose blocking entry too.

my bad

maybe stating it for the fact that it hinders team mates might be a way to word it

[baf]

for that exploit rule, does it include ALL exploits or are certain ones like chophoping allowed?
just last time i was too impressed when i saw someone chophoping, i do dead spy bug i get banned and he didnt :/

[EpharGy]

nail gren bug gets you banned too

[Palisade]

yes need to further define exploit ..

[stinger]

Most cases of spawn spamming is caused by an sg or defender in front of it, piping spawn exit, nothing wrong with that at all, he will get you once when you dont expect it and then he is toast.

[EpharGy]

unless he is of course you isnt that right pete ;)

[AussieWilly]

PtP is one of the bigest spammers/nonconformists around.

[Palisade]

ptp + demo + well + attic = detpacks and spawn spam = lame

[PtP]

Some people need to realise it a game, plus its on a public server.

[barelia]

one time, someone said to me that its bad to run around while engi, throwing emps...

but i said its a public server, and that, that shouldn matter, but they said that it was a poor excuse for my behaviour and all this stuff about how a clan member shouldnt act like that in a public server

so im lost
is it okay for engis to run around being offence?

[PtP]

You go for it, its all good ;)

[EpharGy]

just makes it easiuer for us to steal your flag

[Palisade]

im tired of the "its a public server" excuse :/

demos spamming well spawn from attic is lame, whether in clan war or not...

and yer EMPs own, one thing i always tried to do as engy for WTF was get as many kills of my own (shotty, emp) as SG kills to try be more useful

downside is froggy is somewhat of an emp magnet...

[dragonstar]

yeah people should be banned from doing that in well as demoman take a few steps out of spawn and BOOM dead by pipebombs or detpack :realmad:

[PtP]

As pali said one emp and he is dead.

[Palisade]

hm i didnt say that exactly but yeah ill take credit for saying that!

yer that what i do when some loser goes demo in attic - emp the cunt from underneath

[Polar]

yeh spawn spam in well from attic is very lame.
i never got what was wrong with chucking ur nail gren in the roof? why ban because of that?

[EpharGy]

its using a bug in the game to make your ng explosion go through the walls and do alot more damage, i like the idea, gives the soli a last ditch weapon.

but yeah, still a bug and using it is exploiting it.
