SERVER RULES​

- Blacklisted Modifications
Using any modifications that can give you an advantage over other players isn’t allowed. If you’re unsure of whether a mod is allowed, feel free to contact a staff member.


- Server Advertising
Advertising other Minecraft servers is against the rules, this includes posting the IP, name or talking about the server in chat.


- Exploiting/Bug Abuse
Taking advantage of a bug or exploit will result in a punishment. Please report bugs to staff members.


- Assisting or Benefiting from Rule Breaking
Helping other players, or directly benefiting from other players breaking rules will also result in a punishment.


- Repeated Minor Rule Breaking
Repeatedly breaking other minor rules can end up giving you a much larger punishment.


- Disrespecting Staff Members
Staff members spend their own time contributing to the server and helping the community, please give them the respect they deserve.


- Donator Disrespect
Donator disrespect is dissing a donator for donating. An example of this saying “You’re only good because you donate!”. Donators support the server and should not be discouraged from doing so.


- Staff Impersonation
We don’t want players to mistake non-staff members as staff members. For that reason, please don’t include staff member’s names in your in game names, nicknames or clan names as newer players tend to mistake you for staff members.


- Fighting Punishments
Do not try to fight your punishment publicly. If you feel like your punishment was unjust, you can make an appeal on the forums and a staff member will take a look at it.


- Deceiving Staff Members
Preventing staff members from doing their job by lying to them can result in a punishment. An example of this is if we’re looking into a report and you lie, you could be held accountable.


- Harassment
Harassing other players along with excessive use of bad language aren’t allowed and will result in a punishment. This also includes racist or discriminatory comments against a race, religion, or gender.


- Threatening other players or the server
Threatening players or the server will result in a punishment. This includes death threats, DDOS threats etc.


- Releasing Personal Information
Releasing personal information of other community members without their consent is a serious offense. This also includes things such as grabbing other player’s IPs.


- Alt Abuse
You are allowed to use alternate accounts on the server, however you are not allowed to use alts in any way that would benefit your main account or abuse unintended features. This means you cannot transfer anything between the accounts including money or items, and it also means that you cannot take advantage of new player protection. Ask a staff member to remove your alts protection before you start playing.


- Chat Flood
Chat flood is sending a constant stream of messages that fills up the chat.


- Character Spam
Having messages full of the same character, or a repetition of the same character for no reason is classified as character spam.


- Command Spam
Command spam is spamming commands in a way that is disruptive to other players. Examples of this is spamming the /suicide command to fill up chat, or spamming players with low amounts of money using /money pay.


- Encouraging Spam
Encouraging other players to spam as well as collectively spamming with other players is punishable. This can include having players type random messages in chat to win a reward, or having a group of players type messages in chat with the intention of spamming/flooding chat.


- Hackusating
Calling out other players in chat isn’t effective and normally helps the hacker hide their hacks. Instead, feel free to report them to a staff member by using the /helpop command.


- Selling External Services
Attempting to sell external services such as minecraft accounts, capes, items for other games through the server isn’t allowed.


- Non-Server Related Links
Only send links related to Yom Network in chat, an example of this is sending a social media link such as your youtube channel, if it’s a Yom Network related channel with content on the server, then it’s fine but otherwise it’s not.


- Illegal Trades
Trading currency or items on Yom Network for external currency or service isn’t allowed.


Note: This is a general guideline and if a Mod+ staff thinks a punishment is required, they do not need to follow this guideline. These rules may be changed as needed.
