Mimic 3307 Posted February 8, 2014 Updated G. No Racist/Homophobic Epithets - As always, any and all racial slurs used against any person or object will not be tolerated to ANY degree (e.g., calling someone "N-word" is not allowed). THIS RULE ALSO APPLIES TO HOMOPHOBIC SLURS-- this includes, but is not limited to, the use of the word "fag" and any of its derivations. For objective purposes, sG does not recognize the word "fag" as meaning a cigarette, or a bundle of sticks. This rule will now only cover Racism, and not necessarily Homophobic Epithets. Homophobic Epithets will now be handled under Flaming/Trolling/Harassment. 5 DogsGoMeow, Rune, drunkula and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mimic 3307 Posted March 30, 2015 Added Rule 1N N. DDoS Threats - Threatening to perform a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service OR Denial of Service) attack on any entity related to our community, players or servers, will result in a permanent ban if done with malicious intent. Malicious intent is decided among the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Complaint Department Manager. This has been a long standing policy that apparently hasn't been added to the Global Guidelines. 5 xmen, Clamps, Eddy and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy 3887 Posted April 26, 2015 Added our new policy and process for appealing permanent bans. 7. Appealing permanent bansPeople who are permanently banned will be able to appeal their ban once every 6 months.People permanently banned for any of the following reasons will never be allowed to appeal their ban:Posting child pornography.Maliciously threatening to DDoS or attack our servers, our players or another community.Any reason that could jeopardize the contract with our host.People who apply for an appeal have to pass a staff vote; The majority of votes will determine the outcome of the appeal. People who pass the appeal process will be unbanned and can even apply to the clan at any time, however these people are on a very short leash... Each ban earned after you’re unbanned will be reviewed by staff; if we decide that you haven’t changed your ways, you will be permanently banned again with no chance of another appeal. 13 1 Yunki, Icop, ctark and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimic 3307 Posted March 6, 2016 Added 8. Paypal Disputes Paypal disputes and chargebacks can jeopardize our PayPal account's good standing and can ultimately cause our account to be closed. Almost all PayPal chargebacks and disputes can be very easily settled by sending a PM to Eddy or creating a thread in the PM’s to Staff section of our forums, so please PM us first before you file a dispute against our PayPal. If you don’t PM us first you will be permanently banned from using our Store and will have your status as a community member removed (if applicable). 13 ThatOllieWhoDies, Mark from Facebook, Paul_Waffle and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
