Code of Conduct & Server Rules

{Strength & Honor} is committed to integrating consistant moral values in everything we do. It’s not only the foundation of our gaming community, but also a key factor in how we evaluate and select our admins. Our values guide us on "how" we admin our servers and achieve results. At Strength & Honor, we hold our leaders to an even higher level of accountability.

{S&H} Server Rules:

1. Disrespecting other players will get you kicked/banned. Please show regard to others by taking your turn or balancing the teams.

2. Mocking God or using His name in vain will get you kicked or permanently banned for repeated offense.

3. Foul language or vulgar name tags will not be tolerated (i.e. racist, sexual, profane, etc.); which is an immediate kick (NO questions asked). Repeat offenses will get you banned.

4. Intentional team killing for any reason will result in a 24 hour ban or a permanant ban if behavior continues.

5. Please do not taunt someone killed in game. That would include continuing to shoot the body, or standing over the body or anything that might be perceived as insulting. If you are asked to stop and you do not, you may be kicked/banned.

6. Binds / Macros: -Mousewheel-Controller-Execution macros for in-game use are prohibited.

7. Exploitation of known or unknown glitches are prohibited. This includes the act of standing on a treetop or ledge that would normally not be enough for a person to stand on.

8. Spawn Camping is prohibited. Spawn Camping is a deliberate attempt to "stake out" spawn spots, not merely killing someone that spawns right in front of you as you're running by, or killing someone who spawns right next to you as you're trying to take a flag. It is not considered spawn camping if you are merely trying to help your team get the flag. However, you must have teammates on the flag. If your teammates are all killed in the process, you must back off of the spawn spots or get on the flag yourself. This rule applies to Conquest mode only, Rush mode is not bound to this rule.

9. Attacking the uncaps on the conquest server will get you kicked. Repeat offenses will get you banned.

10. Intentional ramming with jets (kamikazi style) will get you kicked. Repeat offenses will get you banned.

11. Repeatedly ignoring server rules will get you kicked/banned.

12. All visitors, members, and admins are responsible for their own registered accounts. If someone else is using your account name and IP, ...YOU will be held accountable for any violations that might occur. This applies to Teamspeak and all game servers.

13. Obey our admins and respect them when on our servers. If you disagree with them, please take it to a private channel. Ignoring multiple warnings or disrespecting admins will get you kicked and possibly banned.
____________________________________________________________________________

{S&H} Code of Conduct:

Members are expected to know and follow these set Codes of Conduct for game servers, the forums, and for Teamspeak at all times.

1. "Selfish interests must be subordinate to our common goal." These values will be upheld at all times.

2. Keep your posts professional and respectful with all registered users and members. Generally, if it isn't an appropriate thing to say or do on our S&H game server, then it isn't appropriate in the forums. Example: calling someone an idiot on our game servers will usually get you a warning. Repeated offense will get you banned.

3. Hateful or demoralizing content (ie: gossip, swearing, masked swearing, racial, sexual, or religious bashing) will not be tolerated.

4. Using Capital letters in posts is discouraged as it implies shouting to the reader. Instead, please use emoticons to relay your feelings.

5. Political arguments are discouraged. Constructive political debate is acceptable.

6. Private messaging is the preferred way to resolve differences. Communicate privately to the person you were offended by as opposed to making a public scene out of it. If this does not resolve your problem, bring it to the attention of S&H leadership for mediation.

7. All minors (under 18 years of age) are prohibited from giving out any personal information about themselves; including date of birth, address, or phone number. With that said, all adults registered on the forums (member or not) are not to ask a minor for any personal information.

8. Any member that is a minor (under 18 years of age) that would like to post a picture of themselves and/or their family must first obtain permission from their parent/guardian. Personal pictures are only to be posted in the appropriate forum.

9. If you sign into the forums and see that your original post and all responses under it have been deleted, do not re-post asking what happened to the original thread. If you like, you may email leadership at S&H and they will provide you with a reason after the original posting and responses have been reviewed.

*Posts that violate these rules may be deleted immediately by a moderator (or a member of the leadership team) with no reason given to original poster. When a post is deleted, the post will be copied to the leadership forum for possible disciplinary measures.

10. Anyone caught boosting their stats or visiting stat padding servers will be dismissed from Strength & Honor. We take cheating and exploiting very seriously and want to make it clear that it will not be tolerated here.

11. Members are expected to represent {S&H} both on and off our servers, therefore wear your tags with honor and integrity. When you wear the {S&H} tag, you are a representative of our group as a whole.

12. We never kick players to make room for {S&H} members. Members will wait their turn to get on the servers.

13. Members and recruits are expected to wear their S&H tags respectively at all times. Do not take them off when you play on other servers or when you play other games. All exceptions to this rule need to be preapproved by the leadership team.

14. Read and reply to this thread to show us that you are willing to comply with our Code of Conduct and Server Rules.

15. Members must be in our Teamspeak when on our game servers; not only does it improve team play and communication, but it will help you reach an admin whenever necessary.

16. Members are expected to register and use the forums weekly to stay up to date.

17. Do not leave angry. If there is an issue between you and any other member, seek to bring about resolution as outlined in our CoC. If you however do decide to resign from the group, please send a PM to one of the leadership team.

18. While we don’t have participation requirements, members that are inactive for more than a year may be removed from the membership list without notice.

{S&H} League Rules:


1. "SELFISH INTERESTS MUST BE SUBORDINATE TO OUR COMMON GOAL." These values will be upheld at all times.

2. Participating members are expected to follow the Strength & Honor
Code of Conduct (hereby CoC) for all league play, game servers, forums,
and Teamspeak at all times.

3. When members play in league and ladder servers, they will represent
Strength & Honor within said venue with honor and integrity. When you
wear the {S&H} tag, you are a representative of our gaming community.

4. Participation in league / ladder teams is open to all members of
Strength & Honor regardless of their level of experience or length of time
within our community. Although the league team will be supported by our
community as a whole, individual involvement is completely voluntary.

5. Individuals playing in leagues will be held accountable to the Admins
and Core Leaders of Strength & Honor. There will be two Admins acting
as League Liaisons. These Admins will be the primary contacts responsible
for concerns associated with league competition. The League Liaison
positions are voluntary and open to Strength & Honor Admins, to be
approved by the community Admin Council.

6. Our goal for league participants is to build a sense of coordination and
teamwork while furthering Strength & Honor's primary objective to provide
a pleasant, courteous, and enjoyable gaming environment for everyone.

7. It is understood by all participants that league play requires a more
intense level of teamwork that is not normally found in casual gaming.
Participants should be willing to commit to the levels of practice needed
to be competitive. Individual sacrifice and denial of personal achievement
should be subordinate to overall team competitiveness and comraderie.
This statement falls in line with the mission statement of the founders for
our community.

8. The well-being of our overall community is the primary goal for all its
members. This includes, but is not limited to the voluntary starting of
empty servers and participation in community wide events such as
Monday Night Madness and Intercommunity Scrims. It will be the
responsibility of the team members and the League Admins to coordinate
league play as not to interfere with community events.

9. Strength & Honor was founded as a totally inclusive gaming community. The formation of any individual groups, cliques, alliances, or associations unsupportive to Strength & Honor will not be tolerated.

EA/DICE

Promises to read the reports that you file; Analyze player behavior and stats to catch potential cheaters; And hire more people with the full-time job of increasing anti-cheat measures and decreasing response times. To make sure that everyone on the Battlefield plays multiplayer on equal terms, we also want to make sure that the game files have not been compromised for any reason. For us, a changed game file indicates the user is trying to affect the game to get the upper hand in multiplayer, whether that’s by modifying the graphics or making the game otherwise behave in a manner that is not as designed. We will not differentiate between someone who has modified the game for reasons he thinks are benign and a player doing it to cause grief online. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/news/view/2832654786467338271/

Players tampering with the game files for any reason need to know that this is against DICE and EA policy and is grounds for banning. Everyone else just needs to know that we will always strive to create a fair online gaming environment.

{S&H} Conflict Resolution:

Please use PM's to deal with personal problems between individuals. Please make changes in how you are dealing with people if need be. If a problem between people arises publicly, please do not take sides and post your opinion. Allow the problem to be solved between the individuals and leadership if needed.
