This page outlines the official rules for the Nerd.nu Gaming Community. For additional policy information please see the [[Server_Policies|Server Policies]] page
*'''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 blatant sexism, racism, or hate speech, especially targeted at specific users.
*Please respect all players. Blatant harassment of the staff, or any one else, can result in a kick or a ban.
*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.
*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: noclip, invincibility, speed, and duping hacks.
*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 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 trolling in chat (Don’t spam the chat with useless twaddle)
*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.
*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).
*Absolutely no impersonation of staff members.

= '''ALL SERVICES''' =
===Common===
*'''Be respectful and civil toward your fellow players'''
*All MCPublic common rules still apply.
**No harassment or excessive trolling
*No killing or trapping other players in any manner. 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. This also includes using worldguard protections or lwc to trap players. Exceptions will only be allowed in extenuating circumstances with the explicit consent of an admin.  
**No bigotry / hate speech including but not limited to ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion.
*Any building scaffolding or access structures such as tard towers (towers that are only a single block wide) should be removed when no longer necessary. Permanent scaffolding or tard towers are frowned upon and may be removed by staff. Be respectful of the map and do not mar the experience or view for other players.  
**No disruptive arguments/discussions in global chat
*Do not leave item drops laying about in large quantities. This is detrimental to the performance and stability of the server.  
***Staff will ask you to take these to private message or clanchat if you wish to continue.
**No large scale automatic cactus farms. Large scale being more than ""10"" cactus plants. The periodic drops caused by an automatic cactus farm cause lag and must be destroyed (drop paths must terminate at lava or cactus).
**No public accusations of rule-breaking or discussion of bans
*Grinders require certain conditions to be met:
***To report rule violations, make a /modreq ingame or contact a staff member.
**Grinders need registering in the grinder room under spawn. A protected staff only portal will be constructed in the grinder for quick access when necessary. They are portals for mods only, admins need to make them.
**No “ban baiting”
**Grinders must be protected and have an incinerator (destroys drops when no one is using, like cactus or lava)  
***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.
**No grinders or cactus farms within 300 blocks of spawn.
**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)
===Banned Items===
**No posting personal information (i.e. doxxing)
*Fire (Flint and Steel).
**No offensive/inappropriate constructions or skins
*TNT.
**No impersonating other players, particularly staff
*Boats
***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.  
*Placement of water or lava via buckets
**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]
**If you need water, lava or fire placed please make a /helpreq.
**No killing/stealing mobs "owned" by other players
*Buckets are for milk and furnace fuel (lava) only; do not attempt to place water or lava
***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).
**If you happen to pick up water/lava with a bucket, do not try to drop it; you can use the trade signs at spawn to recover an empty bucket
**You may not trap or kill players except in designated arenas
*Redstone mechanisms, dispensers, and pistons may be removed at moderator discretion; abuse of these (lag inducing, player traps, etc) may result in a ban
***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.


===Hacking===
*No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection) and WorldGuard(Block protection). Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal.

*No sexism, racism, homophobia or any type of hate speech targeted at specific users.  
***Any use of xray / ore detection will result in an immediate ban and rollback of all edits.
*No offensive or inappropriate skins. Failure to change when asked by a mod will result in a ban until it is changed
**No griefing or block spamming
**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.

===Banning policy===
*In most cases, an attempt at establishing communication will be made prior to a ban. However, during certain times the server can be very busy, and depending on reason for the ban, you may not be warned. In situations where the player is significantly changing the game environment, they may be banned without any warning.
*You may appeal bans by following the appeals process at: http://nerd.nu/appeal
*If you are banned, 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.

***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.

*Any rules placed at spawn on the servers supersede the rules here as they will generally be more up-to-date.

***Only appealed bans will be lifted.

*No attempting to place or use banned items (List of banned items below).

*No NSFW constructions (e.g. giant phallic buildings, swastikas).
*Admins reserve the right to resolve land disputes in a manner they deem appropriate.

===Hacking===
*Additional revision-specific rules can be found on each servers page.
*No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection) and WorldGuard(Block protection). Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal.
** [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/PvE_Information_Guide PvE Information Page]
*Players using modifications to change gameplay may be asked to stop, kicked, or banned with little or no warning depending on the severity of the situation. This includes, but is not limited to: flying, speed modifications, xray/ore-detection, player radars, and duping hacks.
** [http://wiki.nerd.nu/wiki/Creative_Information_Guide Creative Information Page]
*No use of bugs or exploits to gain an advantage over other players (eg: item duping).


===Social===
*Please respect all players. Harassment of the staff, or any one else, can result in a kick or a ban.
**Although bad mouthing and trolling is a port of the survival server experience, excessive direct verbal(textual) attacks against a person will not be tolerated.
*No sexism, racism, homophobia or any type of hate speech.
*No offensive or inappropriate skins. Failure to change when asked by a mod will result in a ban until it is changed.


===PvP===
'''This rules list cannot possibly hope to cover all instances of behavior that is detrimental to the servers or community, thus the admins reserve the right to warn, kick, or ban players deemed to be detrimental, as well as the right to form new rules when needed. Admins also reserve the right to reset player data as needed.'''
*Players are allowed to make a small number of temporary edits for the purpose of gaining access to other players’ bases, such as for PvP or exploration. However, all such edits must be fixed immediately; this rule does not justify any form of griefing or base modification.
*No spawn camping.
*Using login as a function of PvP is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to:
**Logging off while engaged in combat.
**Relogging to gain an advantage such as invulnerability for PvP or to prevent fall damage while being chased.

**Playing with multiple accounts to give yourself a PvP-related advantage
**Users who do any of these may get warned by a mod or kicked/banned by an admin.
*No use of LWC-locked blocks for the purpose of base defense or personal protection. LWC should be used to protect the items within them, nothing else.
*Anything unlocked may be looted. You are not to take someones unlocked block(griefing), nor lock it, but you may take the contents within.


===Banning policy===
= EVENTS =
*In most cases, an attempt at establishing communication will be made prior to a ban. However, during certain times the server can be very busy, and depending on reason for the ban, you may not be warned.

*Event server rules will depend on the event type, typically following the mold of one of the previous four server rulesets. Specific rules are established per-event.
