Chat rules [WOA]

Xterium: War of Alliances game chat rules

These rules apply to the general game chat. The alliance chat is not moderated. Private messages are not checked, but after a player's complaint (with the text or a screenshot of the messages) the offender's private messages may be blocked. You may write in the general chat in any language.

1. Respect for others
1.1. Swearing, masked swearing, other obscene language, insulting chat participants.
1.2. Insults that spread hatred on racial, national, religious or gender grounds.
1.3. Threats to a real person — a User, the Administration, Moderators or anyone else. In-game statements ("I'll attack your planet", "we declare war on your alliance") are not threats.
1.4. Insulting the Administration or Moderators, or arguing about their decisions in the chat. You may calmly ask about the rules or say the bot made a mistake; if you disagree with a penalty, write to Support (5.5).
1.5. Provoking Users to break the Game or Chat rules.
1.6. Getting personal: mockery and jabs meant to humiliate a specific person, and harassment — a series of attacks on one player. In-game rivalry and friendly jokes are not violations.

2. Forbidden topics
2.1. Pornographic or erotic material or links to it, offers of intimate services, virtual sex in the chat.
2.2. Promoting drugs and alcohol — calls to use them, advertising, glorifying.
2.3. Discussing modern politics, or turning military-history discussions into current politics.
2.4. Glorifying, justifying or promoting organisations and figures convicted by international tribunals or recognised as terrorist or illegal, including Nazi symbols and notations. A random match of letters and historical discussion without glorification are not violations.

3. Safety and fair play
3.1. Begging in any form (asking to transfer real money, game valuables, etc.), aimed at one or all Users.
3.2. Selling resources for Antimatter or real money; transferring, selling or buying an Account, including by exchange or gift, and posting any intention to do so.
3.3. Sharing personal information of third parties without their consent (home addresses, phone numbers, passport data, private correspondence, etc.).
3.4. Knowingly false information about the Game, the Administration, Moderators, Users or other persons — a lie presented as fact. A mistake, an opinion, criticism or a complaint is not a violation.
3.5. Luring out or extorting personal information, Account or e-mail logins and passwords, or posting anything aimed at gaining access to other people's Accounts and data or at fraud, including:
— links to third-party sites disguised as official Xterium resources;
— messages on behalf of the Administration or Moderators, including offers to hand over data or install software;
— pretending to be a representative of the Administration or a Moderator.
3.6. Publishing ways to harm the Game, the Administration, Users or other persons: prohibited programs and mods, exploiting game bugs, information about server vulnerabilities, etc. Reporting bugs and vulnerabilities to Support is allowed and welcome.
3.7. Evading a restriction: writing in the chat from another account while you are restricted.

4. Order in the chat
4.1. Advertising of any kind, luring players to other games, and discussing other games of a similar theme.
4.2. CAPS LOCK — whole messages in CAPITAL LETTERS. Single words, abbreviations and short replies ("GG", "OK") are fine.
4.3. Flood:
— repeating messages similar in meaning or content more often than once per 3 minutes;
— alliance recruiting and looking-for-friends posts more often than once per 15 minutes;
— a stream of meaningless messages, symbols or emoji.
4.4. Abusing the bot and complaints: flooding the chat with messages to the bot, trying to make it break the rules, filing knowingly false complaints about players.

5. Penalties
5.1. For a violation a Moderator (including the chat bot XteriumSupport) gives a warning naming the broken point and linking these rules.
5.2. A repeated violation after a warning (of any point) leads to a temporary chat restriction. Its length depends on karma: the more often you break the rules, the longer it gets — from 10 minutes for the first ones up to a day for persistent offenders.
5.3. Karma fades over time: after a month without violations two violations are forgotten completely.
5.4. For especially gross violations — threats (1.3), spreading hatred (1.2), fraud and phishing (3.5), publishing others' personal data (3.3), advertising spam and luring players away (4.1), evading a restriction (3.7) — a human Moderator may restrict the chat at once, without a warning, for up to 7 days. The bot does not give such terms.
5.5. If you disagree with a decision, write to Support in the game: the time, the channel and the message text or a screenshot. A wrong restriction is lifted together with the karma added for it.
