Server Rules | Map Build
You must follow these rules if you would like to play on the Map Build server. Staff may hand out punishments if you break any of these rules. Please refer to the Player Punishment Structure for an idea of the punishments that may be handed out.
Rule 1 | Do not evade punishments or encourage rule-breaking.
a) Do not evade punishments.
If you are permanently banned from the Map Build server, you may not log on another account to get around the ban and you should instead appeal your ban in the appropriate area of the forum. If you are temporarily banned, you should wait until your ban has been lifted. You may not complain about your ban in another area of the New Blood community. This extends to mutes. If you feel that you have been punished unfairly, you should privately message the member of staff on Discord. If your account is banned specifically for having an inappropriate name, you are allowed to log on another account if it has a legal name.
b) Do not encourage others to break rules.
You may not encourage others to break rules. This includes, but is not limited to, knowing of a player evading their ban and not alerting a member of staff, egging on a player to argue with staff, or encouraging someone to abuse a bug in-game.
c) Do not troll.
You may not troll. This includes, but is not limited to, making fake reports or fake accusations as it is a waste of time for staff.
d) Do not use a VPN or proxy without permission from an Administrator.
You may not connect to the server using a VPN or proxy, unless you have explicit permission from an Administrator to do so. The administration team reserves the right to decide who has this permission. If you cannot connect to the server otherwise, please contact an Administrator for guidance.
e) Do not impersonate others.
You may not impersonate other players. This includes, but is not limited to, using a nickname that is strongly associated with another player.
f) Do not manipulate others into giving out personal information, particularly younger members of the community.
You may not manipulate others into giving out personal information, such as name, address and phone number. You are advised to practice internet safety and avoid giving out personal information. You may not take advantage of the younger or other vulnerable members of the community.
Rule 2 | Do not spam, harass or use inappropriate language.
a) Do excessively swear, spam or use uppercase letters.
You may swear, but not excessively. You may not spam or use uppercase letters excessively in global or team chats. You may spam in private chats, however if you are reported for it you may be punished. This extends to names and items purchasable from the in-game store. Items that breach this rule may be removed without a refund. You may not repeatedly reconnect to the server as this also causes spam for other players. Staff will decide if you are breaching this rule but a definition of excessive can be found here.
b) Do not post malicious links or video call links.
You may not post links to websites that present a security risk or that may attack, scam or fraud. This includes IP grabbing links, link shorteners, and links that appear unsafe although actually safe. You may not post video call links such as those of Zoom. This is in order to protect the younger members of the community. This extends to private, human & zombie, and team chats.
c) Do not harass a person or group, or use discriminatory language.
You may not harass any person or group in any chat on the server, including in private, human & zombie, and team chats. You may not use slurs in any context, or use language that is considered to be discriminatory. This includes, but is not limited to, being racist, xenophobic or homophobic. This extends to names, skins and items purchasable from the in-game store. Items that breach this rule may be removed without a refund, and teams disbanded.
d) Do not discuss sensitive topics or post NSFW content.
You may not discuss sensitive subjects such as, but not limited to, sexual abuse, extreme drug abuse and suicide. You may not post content that is considered inappropriate or 'not safe for work', for example content that is pornographic, violent, gruesome, or requires a trigger warning. You may not reference these topics in names, skins or items purchasable from the in-game store. Items that breach this rule may be removed without a refund. You may discuss politics and religion respectfully, however staff may intervene if the discussion gets out of hand.
Rule 3 | Do not grief or make offensive builds.
a) Do not edit the builds of others in public realms.
You may not edit the builds of others in public realms. This includes removing one or more blocks or building directly around them. If you edit a build by accident, you should undo your actions. This does not extend to private realms. If you want to help a player with a build in a public realm, you must receive their permission before doing so.
b) Do not make excessively large builds in public realms.
You may not make excessively large builds in public realms. You should be thoughtful and leave sufficient space for others to build.
c) Do not make builds that harass or discriminate against a person or group.
You may not make builds that harass or discriminate against a person or group. This includes, but is not limited to, making racist, xenophobic or homophobic builds. This extends to private realms.
d) Do not make any builds that reference extremist political or religious organisations.
You may not create builds that reference extremist political or religious organisations. This includes, but is not limited to, symbols of those organisations. You are allowed to build religious structures within context such as a church.
e) Do not make any builds that depict nudity or pornography.
You may not create any builds that depict nudity or pornography such as, but not limited to, private parts or sexual text. This extends to your private realms.
Rule 4 | Do not copy maps without permission or hunt for secrets.
a) Do not use the maps of others without receiving permission first.
You may not copy, use or adapt the maps or ideas of others without receiving permission from the original map author(s) first. If the map author is no longer active, you should receive permission from an Administrator.
b) Do not withhold credit towards the original map authors if you have permission to use their maps.
If you have received permission from the original map author(s) to copy, use or adapt their maps or ideas, or from an Administrator in the case that the author is no longer active, you should give credit towards the map author.
c) Do not use Map Build to search for secrets in maps on Zombie Survival.
You may not search for secrets on maps that are in rotation on the Zombie Survival server. You may find them fairly by playing the maps on the Zombie Survival server. You are allowed to visit maps for the purposes of course completion, practice, or map building guidance.
