Survival Fun Rules

Last updated: Dec 19, 2025

Survival Fun is a community-focused survival server.
These rules exist to keep gameplay fair, fun, and enjoyable for everyone.

By playing on Survival Fun, you agree to follow these rules.

⚖️ Punishment Framework & Severity Tags

Our staff are expertly trained to maintain and provide the integrity of the community, please consult a team member via our Discord support tickets with evidence and important details of your report. We ask you to use common sense, if the rules miss something we will adapt and do what's right.

Remember to keep your passwords protected. You are responsible for the actions that occur on your Minecraft account.

You may appeal once a month by creating a support ticket on our Discord.

If you have a complaint about one of our staff members, please file a Staff Report.

Private Messages & Group Chats

If someone is breaking the rules in a group chat, voice chat, DM, or elsewhere outside of Survival Fun we may not take action unless it seems necessary. Be careful accepting random friend requests or DM requests from users you don't know.

Severity tags (≤4 letters) are used internally by staff and may appear in punishment reasons.

🟢 Minor Violations [MIN]

Minor violations are those that are more of an annoyance than a true issue.

Examples - Spam - Chat Trolling - Custom Font - Excessive Use of Foreign Languages in Public Chat - Soft Advertising - Excessive Swearing (enforced by chat filter) - CAPsing (enforced by chat filter) - Nickname Formatting (enforced by chat filter)

Typical Punishment Path
/warn → 30m → 1h → 3h → 8h → 1d → 3d → 1w → 1mo → 3mo (repeat)

  • Verbal warnings and /warn are a courtesy and are given at staff discretion
  • Staff may use an Accelerated Pathway when players violate rules quickly after their punishment expires

Appeals - Only accepted or reduced if the punishment was in error - Appeals will only be processed if the punishment is longer than one day

📖 Click for detailed [MIN] information

Spam

Spam occurs when players post repeat messages. Some examples include:

  • Chat Flood: using multiple messages instead of writing one full sentence
  • Character Drag: adding extra characters to words
  • Keyboard Smash: repeatedly posting garbage messages
  • Encouraging Spam: asking players to guess a number to win a prize, to type "F" in chat, and countdowns can be spam
  • Command Spam: repeatedly issuing commands that display text in chat (e.g. msg, helpop, report, tpa, duel, show, me, afk, party name changes, pay)
  • Begging: repeatedly begging for free items, money, keys, ranks, etc.

It can also apply to excessive advertising of shops and auctions or any other means of annoying other players with repeated messages.

Group Spam is discussed under Special Cases and Spam Bots are discussed under Malicious Violations.

Trolling [Chat]

Trolling [Chat] occurs when a player leads other players or staff on with falsehoods. Examples are telling others to press Alt+F4, or using color codes to make fake broadcast messages. Trolling is typically harmless. If it causes harm or is harassment a harsher punishment path is followed.

Custom Fonts

Custom Fonts are not allowed as your main font in public chat. Not only are custom fonts often hard to read, but they also suggest the player has a hacked client installed.

Excessive Use of Foreign Language

Excessive Use of Foreign Language use occurs when lengthy non-English discussions are held in public chat. While speaking non-English languages is allowed, lengthy discussions should be in messages. All chat rules apply to non-English speakers.

Soft Advertising

Soft Advertising occurs when a player mentions another Minecraft server by name or IP. For example: "I'll be on BoringMC". Posting invitations to a player group in public chat is also treated as Soft Advertising. Players are allowed to put their team's Discord invite in their team description, but not in public chat.

Sending invitations to player Discord servers and mentioning hacked clients are also considered Soft Advertising.

Note on Chat Filter Enforcement

Excessive Swearing, CAPsing, and Nickname Formatting are officially still against the rules, however, they are typically enforced by chat filter.

  • Excessive Swearing rules only apply in-game when the chat filter is broken.
  • CAPsing is the excessive use of CAPS. Capitalizing more than 5 words (that means six or more words) for more than two sentences is not allowed.
  • Nickname Formatting includes nicknames of less than two characters, magic font, underlined portions, or other formatting that makes reading the nickname or the chat near it difficult.

🟡 Moderate Violations [MOD]

Moderate violations make chat uncomfortable or disruptive.

Examples - Disrespect
- Inappropriate chat
- Physical trolling
- Staff interference
- Impersonation
- Rude builds

Typical Punishment Path
/warn → 3h → 1d → 1w → 1mo → 3mo → 6mo (repeat)

  • Warnings are discretionary
  • Accelerated pathways may be used

Appeals - ≤ 3 months: only if punishment was in error
- 6 months: may appeal after serving 3 months

📖 Click for detailed [MOD] information

Disrespect (Player or Staff)

Disrespect includes abusive speech that insults, harasses, or bullies other players or staff. While disagreement is allowed, disrespect is not. Repeatedly targeting and disrespecting the same players or staff will be punished as Harassment. This includes attacking staff or publicly questioning their competence.

Concerns about staff may be expressed in a staff report. To file a staff report please create a Support Ticket.

Inappropriate Chat

Inappropriate Chat includes discussions of inappropriate topics such as:

  • Drugs
  • Illegal activities
  • Suicide or self-harm
  • Breaking server rules
  • Sexual activities
  • Partial links to porn sites

Political, religious, and other contentious discussions are conditionally allowed. Lengthy and contentious discussions may be held outside of Survival Fun. If you refuse to end a discussion when requested by staff, you may be punished.

Note

Using disrespectful or inappropriate language on pets, items, in the auction house, on signs, or in any other location that cannot be stopped by muting results in a ban.

Physical Trolling

Physical Trolling includes using grappling hooks, fishing rods, trap doors, minecarts, or other methods to troll players (keep from mining, keep from PvPing, moving around plots, interfering with parkour, or otherwise annoying and harassing players).

Note

If items are lost due to moving players into lava, PvP, or other situations it is punished as Illegal PvP and follows the Major Cheating punishment path.

Staff Interference

Staff Interference occurs when player behavior makes it difficult to moderate. This includes, but is not limited to accusing others of cheating, calling out staff in vanish, interfering with events such as Parkour & Seek, disruptive mini-modding, and other actions that distract staff from their duties. Staff will determine if a behavior is sufficient to interfere with their staffing.

Joking about cheating is also against the rules and is punished as "Claiming To Cheat". /report can be used to report other players and /helpop to ask questions of staff. If players are not satisfied with the responses of in-game staff, they may create a Support Ticket.

Impersonation

Impersonation includes pretending to be another player, staff member, or console. If a name or nickname was changed to violate other rules it will receive a harsher punishment. For example, changing your IGN to antagonize, attack, or bully a player will be punished as harassment.

Rude Builds

Rude Builds include those that are offensive, inappropriate, or overly sexual. When players build detailed "porn scenes" they should not expect a warning before they are banned. More graphic and disturbing builds will be given harsher punishments at staff discretion.

🔴 Major Violations [MAJ]

Major violations are disruptive, divisive, or harmful.

Examples - Hate speech
- Harassment
- Flame wars
- Chat disruption
- Border claiming

Typical Punishment Path - Chat offenses: 3h → 1d → 1w → 1mo → 1y - Non-chat offenses: 1d → 1w → 1mo → 1y

Hate speech punishments are given without warning.

Appeals - ≤ 1 month: only if punishment was in error
- 1 year: may appeal after serving 6 months

📖 Click for detailed [MAJ] information

Hate Speech

Hate Speech includes abusive or threatening behavior towards a particular group, especially based on race, religion, or sexual orientation. Unlike most violations, staff don't give warnings for true Hate Speech and the punishments quickly escalate. Using hate speech anywhere that cannot be stopped by muting will result in a ban. Examples include builds with hate speech messages, symbolism, or references.

Note

Not all offensive, ill-informed, inflammatory statements or opinions are true Hate Speech and therefore may be warned or punished as other violations.

Flame Wars

Flame Wars occur when respectful discussions turn into personal attacks on others. Respectful discussions about politics and other contentious topics are allowed. However, long, drawn-out conversations should be moved out of public chat and into direct messages, group chats, or other platforms.

Inflammatory Statements are exaggerated or emotional, negative statements. They tend to be extreme and cause others to react angrily and with emotion.

Disrupting Chat

Disrupting Chat includes arguing or protesting specific staff decisions. Heated or hostile arguments regarding a decision, punishment, or server issue are not allowed, especially in a way that makes moderating chat difficult or offensive to other players or staff.

Punishments should not be argued in chat and will only be reviewed after an appeal is filed. Staff will not accept your appeal over Discord or in-game. Warnings for chat disruption are given at staff discretion.

Harassment

Harassment includes malicious, abusive, or harmful discussions about other players or staff. It includes direct attacks and those comments made in a way where they don't attack directly but "everybody knows" who they are insulting. Harassment often occurs when players resort to ongoing bickering, insults, and petty arguments. Bullying typically occurs when one player is tormenting those they feel are vulnerable. All forms of harassment have a negative impact on the community.

Players participating in Harassment may be given an accelerated punishment path if they cannot refrain from violating rules. When it involves ongoing drama between parties, both parties will be placed on an accelerated punishment path [PPPP]. Any further harassment or retaliation will result in punishment. Staff do not care who started it—we want to end it.

Border Claiming

Border Claiming currently applies to Survival, Earth, and Factions. Parties are not allowed to claim land in a way that prevents another party from expanding. On Earth, outposts and claims must be 5 claims away from another town. Outposts may only be used to siege and will be removed when there hasn't been any activity for 48 hours.

Note

If additional rules are broken, the punishment may be significantly harsher. For example, border claiming to grief another party will result in a [MAJ] Griefing ban.

⚠️ Accelerated Conflict Path [PPPP]

The PPPP is an accelerated punishment path for ongoing bickering, bullying, drama, and harassment.

  • Communication restrictions may apply across all channels
  • External platforms (Discord, social media) may be considered if drama impacts the server

Typical Path
1d → 1w → 1y → perm

Appeals - Accepted only if staff believe involved parties have matured

🚨 Particularly Toxic Players [PTP]

Reserved for players who join solely to disrupt.

Examples - Extreme toxicity - Hard advertising - Evasion with continued rulebreaking

Typical Path
1y → perm

Appeals - Considered only if staff believe the player has matured

📖 Click for detailed [PTP] information

Toxicity

Toxicity is present in most online gaming communities. When a player joins Survival Fun to spread toxicity, harsh punishment is justified.

Note

Players can be toxic while following Survival Fun rules. For example, players are allowed to act superior to others if they do not violate other rules, such as Disrespect.

Hard Advertising

Hard Advertising occurs when a player posts another server's website/IP address with the intention of stealing the player base. This is typically done by new players with no connection to Survival Fun. Advertising a competitor's server that has a store is Malicious Advertising whether the player is new or established.

Evasion with Rule Violations

Evasion with Rule Violations occurs when players break additional rules while evading their temp ban or mute.

☠️ Malicious Violations [MAL]

Actions intended to threaten, intimidate, or severely harm players, staff, or the server.

Examples - Malicious advertising - Spam bots - Threats - Terms of Service violations

Typical Path
IP ban → Discord ban → blacklist

Appeals - Accepted only if punishment was in error (rare exceptions may apply)

📖 Click for detailed [MAL] information

Malicious Ads

Malicious Ads are posted by a current or former player(s) to encourage joining a competitor's server. The server's website or IP address is posted with the intention of stealing the player base, or recruiting staff. In some cases, Malicious Ads will result in being added to the blacklist.

Malicious advertising also includes posting invites to competitors' Discord servers and discussing, or recommending illegal mods.

Malicious Statements

Malicious Statements include those that encourage suicide, threaten or wish violence or death upon others, or link images or videos of IRL violence. They also include releasing someone else's personal information without their express consent. Just because someone's information is public does not mean you have a right to share it on Survival Fun.

These are the statements graphic, explicit, and vile. They cause players or staff to no longer be comfortable having the player in our community.

Misconduct

Misconduct includes Inappropriate Relationships, Predatory Behavior, and Soliciting & Distributing Porn.

Soliciting or Distributing Porn includes sharing sexually explicit images, regardless of the age of those involved. This also includes all links leading to pornographic images or videos. Please keep in mind that links are clickable, and punishable, without the "http://".

Inappropriate Relationships refer to a romantic or sexual relationship between an adult and a child, whether or not consensual on the part of the child.

There are two important ages when considering Inappropriate Relationships:

  • The Age of Majority is 18. People who are 18 and above are adults. People younger than 18 are minors.
  • The Age of Consent is 16. People 16 and above are capable of consenting to a sexual relationship.

This means that an 18-year-old may have a relationship with a 16 or 17-year-old without breaking the law or Survival Fun rules. Typically Survival Fun will not get involved with dating between players or players and staff unless there is suspicion of predatory or improper behavior.

Predatory Behavior refers to any attempt to sexually abuse or exploit others. It includes techniques used to manipulate others, such as grooming, pushing sexual boundaries, etc. Sextortion is one type of predatory behavior—when someone threatens to post intimate images unless you provide more photos, or pay them in some way.

Spam Bots

Spam Bots involve multiple accounts joining simultaneously to spam the server and completely flood chat.

Malicious Abuse

Malicious Abuse occurs when something is used in a way to intentionally gain a significant unfair advantage, damage the realm's economy, crash the server, or substantially impact gameplay. Typical examples are dupes and crash exploits.

Note

The accidental discovery of an exploit is not bannable. Failure to report the exploit, sharing the exploit with other players, and profiting from the exploit are bannable offenses.

Violating ToS

Violating ToS includes any actions that are against Survival Fun ToS. Examples include DDoSing, DOXing, SWATing, stealing credentials, links to malware, IP grabbers, real world trading, and other malicious activities not mentioned elsewhere. It also includes threats, attempts, or claims to have taken malicious actions against others.

🚫 Illicit Behavior [ILL]

Predatory or sexually inappropriate behavior.

Examples - Sexual harassment - Grooming - Retaliation - Public allegations

Typical Path
1w → 1y → perm-IP

Players committing these offenses are typically blacklisted.

📖 Click for detailed [ILL] information

Sexual Harassment

Sexual Harassment typically begins as targeted, inappropriate or uncomfortable, sexual remarks being made to or about other players. Some examples would be:

  • Rating others based on attractiveness/sexual activity
  • Unwelcome and directed sexual comments, dirty jokes, sexual innuendos
  • Unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors
  • Comments about minors becoming "legal"

Retaliation

Retaliation includes attempts to convince victims or reporters to drop their complaints by intimidation, coercion, or any other means. It also includes players harassing those accused or suspected of inappropriate behavior or misconduct.

Public Misconduct Allegations

Public Misconduct Allegations include any public accusations of sexual misconduct. Examples are calling someone a "pedo" or "groomer", and accusing staff of protecting "pedos" or "groomers". These types of public statements are triggering to survivors of sex crimes and harmful to the community. If you are concerned about potential predatory behavior, please report on our Discord.

🟠 Moderate Cheating [MDC]

Includes but is not limited to:

  • Illegal macros or scripts
  • Boosting
  • Alt abuse
  • Moderate hacks
  • Festival abuse

Players assisting or benefiting from cheaters are punished as if they cheated.

Typical Path
1d → 1w → 1y (repeat)

  • No warnings are given

Appeals - < 1 year: only if punishment was in error
- 1 year: may appeal after serving 6 months

📖 Click for detailed [MDC] information

Illegal Macros & Scripts

Illegal Macros & Scripts that automate tasks while AFK are not allowed. External macros such as taping down your mouse or putting a weight on a button, are also classed as macros as they have the same effect. Macros that send chat messages are also not allowed to be used while AFK.

If suspected of Illegal Macros staff will attempt to get your attention. If you do not respond, you will be considered AFK and will be punished. If players are found AFK at an Auto McMMO farm, signs will be placed to indicate AFK farming is not allowed and the player punished. Public Auto McMMO farms are required to have signage to warn players that using while AFK is bannable.

This rule does not apply to earning passive McMMO XP such as acrobatics, alchemy, smelting, or taming; however, only one account may earn McMMO at a time.

Rebinding a command or message to a key is not considered a macro as long as you are manually pressing the key to activate the command or message. If you automate message sending or command running so that they activate without manual effort, then that will be considered a macro.

Illegal Teaming

Illegal Teaming is when two or more players work together to gain an unfair advantage. Due to the rewards for winning, teaming is not allowed in KOTH, PVP, or similar events.

This includes knowingly assisting and benefitting from those who cheat. Cheating includes but is not limited to hacking, exploiting, bug abuse, and stealing. The punishment path is the same as if you cheated yourself.

Boosting

Boosting is when players gain an unfair advantage with assistance from 'outside' accounts. Boosting is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Boosting is typically categorized as Leaderboard Boosting, Stat Boosting, or Alt Abuse.

Transferring Teams - While transferring teams is allowed, there are restrictions on what players may take with them. Before switching teams, the player(s) must inform staff to ensure that boosting rules are not violated.

Typically, players may take any items physically associated with their account. For example, chunk-hoppers, sell-chests, souls, money, and SVAs may generally be taken when switching teams. Admins may reset minion progress to the base level on a case-by-case basis.

If a player transfers to a team competing for leaderboards, the staff will likely wipe the player's money. Transferring currencies may be allowed if the player transfers to a team with no plans to compete for leaderboards. However, the new team will likely be banned from the leaderboard for at least three months and up to the remainder of the season.

Because they provide an almost instant advantage, players may not take spawners to a new team. It does not matter who paid for the spawners or who placed them.

Types of Boosting

  • Stat Boosting is when a player unfairly boosts their stats. This includes repeatedly killing alts or other players to boost kills, creating alt plots/islands/teams for bonuses, sharing accounts to boost stats for leaderboards, etc.
  • Leaderboard Boosting occurs when a player or team achieves a spot on the leaderboard or any server awarded prizes with "outside" help. Examples of outside help include using builds, islands, and resources other than their own to gain a prize or unfair advantage.
  • Alt Abuse includes using alt/friends accounts to exploit the game and gain an extra advantage. Players are only allowed to have one account gain progression at a time.

Note

Public farms or grinders are not considered "outside resources" if they are fully accessible to all players.

Examples of gaining progressions by using alts include:

  • Using ALTs in events (Citadel, KOTH, PVP)
  • Killing an ALT to boost stats
  • Bypassing limits set in place by the server (e.g. minions, plots, parties, etc.)
  • Using ALTs to claim additional boss rewards
  • Bypassing daily limits, e.g., claiming /cow above alt limits
  • Improving your stats or gaining multiple spots on the same leaderboard
  • "Renting" ALTs to run yourself (rather than have the account owner run them) is punished as IRL Deals
  • Using ALTs to gain on multiple accounts at a time is punished as ALT Abuse

Note

ALT accounts used to evade cheating punishments will not have their punishment reduced or removed. If you purchase a banned account, it will remain banned.

Festival Abuse

Festival Abuse is when players gain an unfair advantage by teaming with others in a free-for-all (FFA) event, gaining multiple rewards during the same event, or bypassing established player limits through the use of alt accounts. Although the use of alt accounts is allowed during the Festival, it is not allowed to claim rewards or currencies multiple times within the specified time limits. Festival abuse follows the same punishment path as moderate cheating but is punished with a local festival ban.

Moderate Hacks

Moderate Hacks include those that provide little or no competitive advantage on the realm where they are used. They include but are not limited to Xray, derp, boat, and Jesus hacks. The severity of the violation may vary by realm and advantage given. For example, X-ray may be Moderate Hacks when used to find ores on Survival and Malicious Hacks when used to find bases on Factions.

Moderate Abuse

Moderate Abuse is a classification of exploit abuse that gives a slight advantage but has little impact on leaderboards, the economy, server rewards, etc.

🔴 Major Cheating [MJC]

Includes dishonest acquisition of items, money, or advantages.

Examples - Theft / insiding - Scamming - Illegal PvP - Major abuse

Typical Path
1w → 2w → 1y (repeat)

Severe cases may begin at 1 year or permanent.

📖 Click for detailed [MJC] information

Griefing

Griefing is the intentional destruction or alteration of another player's property or build without their consent.

On Earth, when looting a ruined town, you may only break valuable blocks (ore blocks, beacons, spawners), crops, and containers. Breaking more than this would be punished as griefing. You also may not destroy the map terrain by draining, flooding with lava or water, making cobble monsters, placing a lot of random blocks, deforestation (burning a lot of trees), or digging large holes unless the area is claimed.

Stealing

Stealing includes theft, insiding, scamming, and auction house (AH) scamming.

Theft is taking blocks, spawners, beacons, or other valuable items from another player's island or base without consent, intending to keep the items. Staff do not roll back theft. Adding a player to your team (party, squad, island, etc.) to kick them and keep their items is considered stealing.

Removing a player from a group & private signs: When a player is removed from a party, island, or plot, they must be given 14 days to collect their items. Use /mail to notify the removed player that they have 14 days to collect their items. After 14 days, the party may remove the player's items. If locked chests exist, a staff member can remove them and return any items to the original owner. After 30 days of inactivity, staff may clear any locked chests and return any high-value items to the original owner. If the chests are in the wild, the items are not returned to their owner.

High-Value Items: Includes items such as, but not limited to, SF Store Items, Custom Items, SVAs, Spawners, & Crates.

Insiding applies only to Lifesteal and includes stealing value from your faction or teleporting enemies into your base. All enemies that teleported to the base may also be punished for stealing.

Scamming is not allowed on most servers in our Network; exceptions include KitPvP and Lifesteal. Scamming includes incorrectly renaming an item to sell or trade it for a higher price. Another method would be to negotiate a price for an item, but refuse to pay once you receive it.

Note

Cubit, auction house, and SVA scamming are not allowed in any realm. For SVA scams, players must provide the SVA ID, which can be obtained with the /id command.

Note

While players are allowed to run various games, giveaways, and casinos on Survival Fun, rigging a game or giveaway is not allowed and is punishable as scamming. Players cannot claim that their giveaways or games are official.

Note

Loans are not recommended and are not typically enforced by staff. However, if the loan has a value of more than 5 cubits and the lender can provide proof of the repayment agreement, staff may become involved.

Illegal PvP

Illegal PvP includes tactics to trick players into areas where inventory is not kept on death, killing them and taking their items. Examples include TP-ing others into a PvP-enabled area without their knowledge, luring them to request a TP into a dangerous situation, and similar methods to illegally obtain their items.

Luring should not be confused with baiting. Baiting is when you convince a player to enter a known PvP situation so they consciously risk losing their items. Baiting is allowed in well-marked, or known PvP-enabled areas.

Abusing server features or lying about server features to make others believe their items are protected on death is punishable in all realms if the deceit results in significant gains.

TP-killing and luring are allowed only on KitPvP & Factions.

Spawn Killing (Earth Only)

  • You cannot spawn kill players (ex. /t spawn) at any time. The player must be given enough time to leave the spawn area.
  • Spawn killing is only allowed when the spawn point is close (around 3 chunks away from the edge of the siege zone) to a siege zone against military-ranked players who are participating.

Toggling PVP in Claims (Earth Only)

  • If a player is on your property, you reserve the right to ask them to leave. If someone is in your base with your permission and you no longer want them there, you must give them 2 warnings before toggling PvP (at least 30 seconds within the warnings), wait 2 minutes before toggling PvP, and ensure the player is not AFK.
  • Personal PvP arenas are allowed, but must have clear signs warning players that PvP is enabled.

Traps (Earth Only)

  • Traps within claims intended to harm and/or kill another player are not allowed.

Major Abuse

Major Abuse is a classification of exploit abuse that is not game-breaking, but that gives a significant advantage and impacts leaderboards, the economy, server rewards, etc. If staff determine the infraction was Malicious Abuse a perm ban will be issued.

☠️ Malicious Cheating [MLC]

Includes hacked clients or large-scale item/money generation.

Typical Path
1mo → 6mo → perm

Appeals accepted only if punishment was in error.

📖 Click for detailed [MLC] information

Malicious Hacking

Malicious Hacking includes cheats that provide an in-game advantage. Many hacks are associated with PvP, such as kill-aura, anti-knockback and auto-armor. For some game modes, mob aura, or no-fall are more common. Faking hacks will be treated and punished as hacking. This includes attempting to "prove" that you are hacking to troll or trick others.

Hacked client ads generated by the spam feature of a client result in a Hacked Client ban.

Any macros, scripts, or use bugs that provide the same benefit as common hacks will be punished as hacks. This includes mechanics in standard Minecraft that provide benefits similar to hacked clients.

🧩 Special Cases [SC]

Violations that do not fit neatly elsewhere.

Examples - Auction House abuse - Causing lag - Falsifying evidence - Inappropriate IGN or skin - Group spam

Punishments are handled case-by-case.

📖 Click for detailed [SC] information

AH Abuse

AH Abuse includes renaming items and placing them on the auction house to advertise player warps or events.

Causing Lag

Causing Lag is punishable. This includes any builds that lag nearby players to an unacceptable level, as determined by staff. If your build lags the entire realm, the build may be punished as a crash plot. If a player unintentionally creates a lag build they should report it to staff to avoid punishment.

Falsifying Evidence

Falsifying Evidence to frame someone else for breaking rules is punishable. The punishment matches the punishment they attempted to frame the other player. So, if SaltyNoob was framed for Hate Speech, the player(s) involved with the falsified evidence would be punished for the forged Hate Speech evidence.

Group Spam

Group Spam occurs when multiple players work together to flood the chat. This normally consists of repeating the same or similar messages. It may include multiple individuals spamming about the same topic and may last a short time.

Inappropriate IGNs

Inappropriate IGNs include any in-game names that violate chat rules.

Inappropriate Skins

Inappropriate Skins include any player's skin that violates our rules for inappropriate or offensive content. Examples include Nazi or Hitler Skins, nude skins, and suicide bombers. Inappropriate skins will be set to display as a network-wide default. Staff may remove the default skin once the player has complied with Survival Fun rules.
