This page outlines the official rules for the Nerd.nu Gaming Community. For additional policy information please see the [[Server_Policies|Server Policies]] page
*Absolutely no impersonation of staff members.
*No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection), WorldGuard(Block protection), and GriefAlert. Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal.
*Invisible or glitched players may have their data reset without warning.
*No sharing of illegal content.
*No blatant sexism, racism, or hate speech targeted at specific users.
*No griefing, including but not limited to: destroying blocks placed by other players, flooding structures, spamming items, leaving inappropriate signs on others’ structures, destroying plants  (none of these apply to chaos)
*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.  This will fall under our umbrella "Don't be a dick." rule and will (if abused enough) result in a ban.
*No placing banned items (banned items are specific to each server)
*Players blatantly using modifications to change gameplay may be asked to stop, kicked, or banned with little warning.  This includes, but is not limited to: flying, noclip, invincibility, speed, and duping hacks.
*Don't be a dick (the staff reserves the right to mess with dicks...in a completely asexual and extremely self-depriving yet generous way)
*No trolling in chat (Don’t spam the chat with useless twaddle)
*You are responsible for your own account.  If your account is used by someone else for griefing the server in any way, it will be banned. Please do not message the moderators with the excuse that someone else used your account. We have no way to verify this, and as such, it will not be tolerated as an excuse.
*If you are banned under one account you cannot play on other accounts on the server while the ban is still in effect. Caught playing on alt accounts while your main account is banned will result in your alt accounts being permanently banned.
*Any rules placed at spawn on the servers supersede the rules here as they will generally be more up-to-date.
*Please respect all players. Blatant harassment of the staff, or any one else, can result in a kick or a ban.
*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 it gets annoying.  They do their best to prevent rollbacks.  Since they are working for zero profit and yet give us such a nice set of servers and/or playing experience please treat the techies like the majestic beasts they are.
*Do not spam /modreq (mod requests) with silly requests or things which cannot/do not need to be resolved by staff.
*No offensive or inappropriate skins. Failure to change when asked by a mod will result in a ban until it is changed.
*No NSFW constructions (e.g. giant phallic buildings).


= [[pve|PvE]] =
= '''ALL SERVICES''' =
*Banned Items: Fire (flint and steel), TNT, flowing lava, boats, water buckets, lava buckets, (if you need water or lava placed please make a /req)
*'''Be respectful and civil toward your fellow players'''
*All placed banned items (water, lava, etc) must be protected by a moderator after they are placed.
**No harassment or excessive trolling
*Buckets are for milk only
**No bigotry / hate speech including but not limited to ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion.
*Redstone mechanisms and dispensers may be removed at moderator discretion; abuse of these may result in a ban
**No disruptive arguments/discussions in global chat
*No killing other players with any means. This includes, but is not limited to: Dropping lava on or around them, dropping blocks on them, or pushing them and forcing them to fall. Additionally, no traps designed to kill other players.  
***Staff will ask you to take these to private message or clanchat if you wish to continue.
*The current PvE map is very beautiful but also very height-disadvantaged for players. As such we will warn/kick players who continuously build what are known as 'tard-towers' (towers that are only a single block wide) that tarnish the landscape. If you wish to reach floating islands or higher elevations please at least add ladders to these sorts of towers or create stairs.  Be respectful of the map and do not mar the experience or view for other players.
**No public accusations of rule-breaking or discussion of bans
<!--*Do not lead creepers to other users' creations with the intention of destroying their stuff. If this happens accidentally its your responsibility to fix it.-->
***To report rule violations, make a /modreq ingame or contact a staff member.
*Don't Build any structure within 40-50 blocks from any StarGates.
**No “ban baiting”
*Large unique trees such as redwoods and acacias do not regrow, and may be part of an individual or community's landscaping. Destruction of said landscaping constitutes griefing, so if there is any doubt whatsoever as to the state of these trees, do not cut them down.
***Ban baiting is enticing or aggravating someone into saying or doing something that will result in a ban – this may result in a ban for both parties.
*Grinders need registering in the grinder room under spawn. They are portals for mods only, admins need to make them.
**Do not build too close to another player’s build (see [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/PvE_Information_Guide PVE] or [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/Creative_Information_Guide Creative] FAQ for details)
*Grinders must be protected and have an incinerator (destroys drops when no one is using, like cactus or lava)
**No posting personal information (i.e. doxxing)
**No offensive/inappropriate constructions or skins
**No impersonating other players, particularly staff
***This includes both claiming to be another person or staff, as well as changing your screen name in a way that can be thought to be another user. In these instances your account may be banned until you can change the name again.  
**Client mods that give a distinct advantage to an individual are not allowed. Click here for the list of [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/Approved_client_mods approved client mods]
**No killing/stealing mobs "owned" by other players
***This includes any named mobs, mobs that are enclosed/restrained, claimed pet-type mobs and villagers. “Hostile mob” pets must be enclosed such that players cannot enter and be harmed (without breaking in).
**You may not trap or kill players except in designated arenas
***This includes player traps or indirect forms or killing such as placing lava or using mobs
**You may not restrict access to your builds - the map should be open for exploration
***Exceptions to this on PvE would include: a structure to hold villagers for trading; killing box of iron grinders (assuming iron is available to the public); small containers housing “pet” hostile mobs.


= [[Survival]] =
*Banned Items: Fire (flint and steel), TNT, boats, flowing lava, and water buckets (if you need water or lava placed please make a /req).
*No killing other players outside designated PvP areas
*No killing other players with lava or any other means in PvE areas.  This includes, but is not limited to: Dropping lava on or around them, dropping blocks on them, or pushing them and forcing them to fall.
*No forced takeovers of others’ bases. <strike>This includes camping in or around a base, killing unarmed players who are attempting to re-enter the base.</strike>[http://nerd.nu/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/15861 ref]
*No removing blocks from others' structures to enter them unless for PvP purposes (obvious griefing not allowed) and if any blocks are removed you must replace them even if you are killed.
*No spawn camping.  This includes staying in the pve zone waiting for players to enter pvp only to kill them again and again as they attempt to leave spawn.
*Logging out and back in during pvp play with one or multiple accounts to give yourself an advantage during combat may get the player warned by a mod and if shown to be used to give the player an advantage '''by an admin''' may get the user kicked/temporarily banned from the server.
*Killing wolves/dogs/PUPPIES is allowed.  Killing them in spawn is accepted as well (we treat them as just another mob that can be used as a weapon such as leading creepers around to damage players).
*No placing locked chests/furnaces, such that they are accessible by a player standing inside a non-pvp zone (e.g. protected region around spawn). Chests/furnaces that violate this rule along with any items therein may be destroyed without warning.
*Any chest that is left unlocked is fair game to be looted.  You may not take the chest, nor lock it to yourself, but you may take the contents of the chest.


= [[Chaos]] =
*'''Be Respectful to the server'''
*Banned Items: None
**No xraying/hacking/cheating or exploiting bugs to give yourself an unfair advantage
*No rules, except the common server rules (minus griefing). No hacking or client mods, specifically.
***Any use of xray / ore detection will result in an immediate ban and rollback of all edits.
*Admins reserve the right to clean up anything making the game unplayable, including making spawn inescapable by any means.
**No griefing or block spamming
*The map should be considered volatile and may potentially be reset at any time
**No inducing excessive lag
***Do not allow huge numbers of entities to build up, e.g. by idling at a non-kill mob grinder or breeding an absurd number of animals.
***All redstone must have an off switch (or the ability to automatically turn off when not in use)
**No spam
***'Spam' includes a high volume of lines and/or repeated characters entered into chat.  
**No Advertising non-nerd.nu servers
**Build Removal:
***Scaffolding, 1x1 towers, or other temporary builds should be removed when you are finished with them. These structures may be removed by staff without notice.
***Certain "very low quality" structures including but not limited to cobble/netherrack boxes, and floating skyrails may be removed if they significantly impact the surrounding area in a negative way.  
***Unfinished builds that are deemed ‘abandoned’ and are negatively affecting other builds may be removed at admin discretion.
***Unused claims may be removed at after 1 month of inactivity on creative, or at admin discretion on pve
**Certain blocks are not permitted, please refer to the [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/Creative_Information_Guide#Are_there_any_blocks_I_can.E2.80.99t_place.3F Creative FAQ] or [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/PvE_Information_Guide#Are_there_any_blocks_I_can.E2.80.99t_place.3F PvE FAQ] for details

**If banned, no evading the ban - request unbans at nerd.nu/appeal
*For Mumble you may be asked to put on push to talk, if a player fails to do so he may be moved to the channel “Turn On Push to Talk”. If a player repeatedly joins a channel and causes problems he or she may be kicked or even banned.
***A minimum of 2 weeks will be added to the original ban length for every account used to evade a ban on any of our servers.
*No blatant sexism, racism, or hate speech targeted at specific users.

= Banning policy =
*If you are reporting a ban to the mods, you must supply some form of proof for your claims (i.e. screenshots, video, or visual confirmation by a mod/admin)
*An attempt at establishing communication will be made.
*If this fails, the player will first be kicked, and if they rejoin and continue their actions they will be banned.
*You may appeal bans by following the appeals process at nerd.nu/forum.
*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.
