"|ALPHA| practices safe bans: we always use a /condump."
-- |ALPHA|Dw, 2009/08/29

To ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience playing on |ALPHA| servers, the following general rules must be followed at all times:

1. No vote spamming, radio spamming, chat spamming, etc.
2. No abusive or obscene speech of any kind (including player names).
3. No religious or political speech of any kind (including player names).
4. No exploiting of game glitches of any kind, for example the nade-spectate glitch.
5. No unfounded accusations of cheating; record and submit a demo instead.
6. No repeat team killing; accidents happen, just be polite and apologize.
7. No disrespect to |ALPHA| members and administators; be nice and we will be too.
8. No whining about the way our servers are configured; suggest changes on the forums.
9. No |ALPHA| tag in your player name unless you are an |ALPHA| member.

All of these can get you warned, slapped, kicked, and eventually banned (in that order). Note that we check the logs, so you can get banned hours after the fact if no admin was present when you broke the rules. Keep that in mind.

Demos can be submitted on our forums at http://www.urtalphaclan.com/forum/downloads.php and we will do our best to review them promptly.

Although not stated above, any kind of cheating (walling, botting, radar, etc.) will get you banned permanently without a warning. You can file a ban inquiry of course, but if we have proof, that won't get you anywhere. Neither will whining about the ban, saying that it was your brother and not you, threatening |ALPHA| members, going to other clans and complaining about being banned on |ALPHA| servers, etc. If you cheated, just STFU and play somewhere else. Or better yet, /uninstall the game so you don't spoil anyone else's fun anymore. How about that?

Want to be a better guest on our servers? Here are a few hints that will make us truly love your presence:

• If you're going to be AFK for more than a few second, join spectators.
• If you're going to be AFK for more than a few minutes, leave the server.
• Don't idle as a spectator on a full server, you will eventually get kicked.
• Medic your teammates, especially when they call for it, and certainly if you're right next to them.
• If you wound a teammate by accident, always medic them and apologize.

And there you have it. Of course these rules are subject to change at any moment, and we won't wait around for you to read them again. So check them every now and then on your own!
