We have decided to give another chance at Admins pvping. No admin will be promoted until they understand these rules in full, and reply to the post. Any admin that is not in the group will be demoted. It is important all admins know what is going on.




It is a privilege to PVP as an admin. Make sure that you are careful of what you do. Here we have laid out a list of rules you must follow when you PVP. Also, It is hard to keep up with name changes. Stick with only one name as an admin (or mod).




1.ABSOLUTELY no god mode in f1 console, ever. If, in extenuating circumstances you need god mode in the f1 console, it is your responsibility to steam message the admins and ask them if it is okay to turn on god mode first. In ALL OTHER CASES, use /god to put your self in god mode (but make sure you have invisible gear on!) You can get invisible gear on by doing /kit admin. There is absolutely no reason you should EVER have /god activated as a player. Be ABSOLUTELY sure that it is turned off before you PVP. One of the primary reasons we didn't allow PVP was because people were saying admins were PVPing in god mode and such.





2.DO NOT REMOVE ANY STRUCTURES UNLESS IT IS DISOBEYING A RULE while you are PVPing! If you are a player, you are a player. That means you don't do things like /remove admin or /remove all on objects that were used to grief you, put near your base, or used to block you from getting out of your house. If you want it removed, then do it like a player would. Hit it. Do everything as a player. The only cases in which you are allowed to use admin commands (such as /remove admin or /remove all) to remove a structure are if: It is blocking a tpl, griefing your house to a point which you cannot get out (the side of a gate in the middle of a door) or disobeying any rules in /rules.





3. DO NOT use any admin gear or admin commands while you are PVPing! If you are going to watch a player who might be hacking, this is the only time in which you are allowed to use admin gear, put yourself in god mode (/god) , use /tp, /stp, or /s (for spirit mode). The use of uber hatchets, uber bows, etc are not allowed in any cases while being a player, and you must send tp requests like a player would. Use /tpr and /tpa!!!!




4. No spawning things in! (And don't dare EVER spawn in C4!!!) If someone is in fact hacking, and you lost things, you can talk to csellebrecht, Spoderman, or Thief and ask beforehand if it is okay to give things back. Do NOT give things back unless said person is banned! Spawning things in is a big deal. If you are a player you should act like one. If we find there to be any abusing, your admin powers will be revoked immediately. Do not abuse them! In the past we have had problems where admins spawned in c4 without permission, and were demoted.




5. If you are playing as a player, remember your language. As an admin, you are the people that players look up to, the people that safeguard the server, and as such, you should try to be friendly. Light banter is okay. If you are playing as a player and someone is being a real ♥♥♥♥, then mute them, but try not to. People who are muted by admins who have power to do so see it as abuse, DO NOT mute someone unless they rightfully deserve it (When you have people who join the server and call it ♥♥♥♥, call your admins terrible, call them abusive, spam chat, things that are just plain wrong, you can mute.) Try not to unless they are being absolutely ridiculous. Also if a player needs your help, you can help them when you can. Make sure you are friendly and don't say things like 'deal with it'. Act appropriately.



6. Do NOT ban for anything such as ♥♥♥♥ talking (unless Spoderman or csellebrecht or Thief get involved), bear glitching, blocking tpls, rock glitching. RustDB only accepts hacking bans! If someone is being a person who is described in rule 4, use /mute xm, where x is the person to be muted, and m is the minutes to be muted. For example, /mute Spoderman 5m = mute Spoderman for 5 mins. In the case someone is rock glitching, /remove all. Bear glitching? /kick player. Blocking tpl's? Remove it.




7. DO NOT ban for no recoil!!!!!EVER!! The only people that can ban for no recoil are csellebrecht, Spoderman, Thief, and TC |SCooter. NoRecoil is one of the hardest hacks to catch. If you think someone is no recoiling, ask one of the other admins such as above. You can test a person who you think is no recoiling with another admin. That is okay.


8. Make sure you guys follow the rules. If you are an admin that means you were given the trust to be the safeguards of the server. Be sure you are careful of our actions. Remember that all of your actions not only reflect you, but csellebrecht, the owner of the server. If you are an admin, act like one. Think before you act. Ask yourself what another admin would do in certain situations. Be the bigger person. Do what is right.






- Make sure you comment below that you understand. Any admin found to be disobeying the rules will have their admin powers revoked.
