MOTD/General Rules
This server is run by the Western Carolina University Gaming Club.
For more information, see http://www.wcugaming.org/
Server rules:
1. Cheating of any form is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban.
2. Racism, sexism, religious defamation, or trolling will not be tolerated.
3. No spamming grenades, voicecom, say, or teamsay.
4. No intentional team-flashing.
5. Map exploits (sky-walking, boosting through floors, or otherwise leaving the play area of the map) are regarded as cheating and will result in an instant slay.
6. Do not argue with admins. Admin abuse should be reported on the forums.
7. No pornographic or shock-imagery sprays are allowed.
8. Terrorists must attempt to plant the bomb on bomb defusal (de_xxxx) maps. Spawn campers will be slain.
9. Counter-terrorists must attempt to rescue the hostages on hostage (cs_xxxx) maps. Spawn campers will be slain.
10. Team stacking will not be tolerated. Players may be moved by admins at any time in order to balance the teams.
11. Players may not use external communication (Ventrilo, Teamspeak, etc.) to relay spectator info to living players. All players suspected of being involved in “ghosting” will automatically be banned for a week.
Players may be banned for up to a week for non-cheating offenses, which may not be appealed. Bans over a week in duration may be appealed on the forums, at which time the council leader will review logs and demos, and make a final decision.
If no administrator is present at the time you are playing and you require assistance, please join the WCU IRC channel and request help. The instructions can be found on the WCU forums, and there is also a link to the IRC applet on the homepage, near the top.
If you feel you are the victim of administrator abuse please post on the WCU forums, or contact a gaming club executive directly.
Admin Guidelines
To help us deal with the sometimes overabundant use of admin commands on the Source server, please be sure to follow these simple guidelines:
1: Use commands sparingly!
2: Do not initiate mapvotes when the server is healthy. Only initiate votes if the server empties, and make sure to let the map complete normally (Initiate a vote only towards the end of the map).
3: Do not excessively use the @ (Ma_Say) command. This function is available strictly to assist you in dealing with server-wide issues.
4: Use restraint in using the @@ (Whisper) command to players.
5: Do NOT use the @@@ (CSay) command unless absolutely necessary.
6: If a player is committing a minor offense escalate your punishments. For example, start with a warning, then slay, then kick, then ban for a day.
7: Annoying players should be muted. Do not argue with them, slap, slay, or kick them when a mute would suffice. Muted players who change their name to gain attention should be banned for a day.
7: You may give any player up to a 24-hour ban with no demo proof required. However, please use the ban commands ONLY as a last resort.
8: If you issue a permanent ban please be prepared with demos showing reasonable proof of the player’s offenses. Server chat logs are also available for reference.
9: If you have any further questions or require clarification, please refer to GXTI, Mr. Freeman, or Kuros for more information.
