Hide and Seek Admin Guidelines

[Fafy 391 / 8,511]

If you're a player, you don't need to read this, just follow the !motd rules. Feel free to read though.

Punishments

Communication Related

- Mic Spam includes people yelling at their microphones, having feedback, leaving their mic open when not talking, etc. You should issue a verbal warning (in mic if possible) and proceed with punishment times if necessary.
    > 1st time: 5 - 25 minutes gag
    > 2nd time: 30 - 60 minutes gag
    > 3rd time: 1 week gag
    > 4th time: permanent gag

- Chat Spam includes sending a lot of messages to flood chat, etc. You should issue a verbal warning (in mic if possible) and proceed with punishment times if necessary.
    > 1st time: 5 - 25 minutes mute
    > 2nd time: 30 - 60 minutes mute
    > 3rd time: 1 week mute
    > 4th time: permanent mute

- Harassment includes racism, harrassment, targetting, impersonation, etc. You should issue a verbal warning (in mic if possible) unless they are spamming slurs (then just proceed with punishments).
    > 1st time: 60 minutes gag & mute
    > 2nd time: 1 day - 7 days gag & mute
    > 3rd time: permanent gag & mute

 

- NSFW/NSFL spray. A difficult one. On clear/malicious nudity or gore you're clear to permanent spray ban. Otherwise on suggestive content follow spray ban times. What is considered suggestive is at your discression, don't be afraid to discuss it with the staff team. Remember to do a SPRAY BAN through the !spray menu.
    > 1st time: 5 - 60 minutes spray ban
    > 2nd time: 1 week spray ban
    > 3rd time: permanent spray ban

- Advertising of other servers and communities that are not related to GFL is always a permanent ban as soon as possible.

 

- Offsensive Steam Nickname includes racism, harrassment, targetting, etc. Remember to verbally warn them first. Take screenshots as evidence.
    > 1st time: Kick
    > 2nd time: 1 day ban
    > 3rd time: 1 week ban

    > 4tm time: permanent ban

Others
- Hacking, scripting, expoiting is always a permanent ban. If you're not sure someone is cheating you can ping staff on discord. Remember to record evidence somehow (ask in staff chat). Threatening to DDoS the server or other players also warrants a permanent ban.

- Map Exploiting includes abusing the !stuck command, prop blocking with unpickable props, blocking elevators, door blocking, etc. You should issue a verbal warning first and slay if necessary (if they're blocking a part of the map for example).
    > 1st time: warn (no punishment, but have it logged with GFL Bans)
    > 2nd time: kick

    > 3rd time: 24 hour ban
    > 4th time: 1 week ban
    > 5th time: permanent ban

 

- Special Round Exploiting includes abusing a function that only occurs in one of our special rounds on the server (for example, abusing a function in ball game to get a ton of points). You should issue a verbal warning first and the punishment will be the same as the ones in the map exploiting section.

    > 1st time: warn (no punishment, but have it logged with GFL Bans)
    > 2nd time: kick

    > 3rd time: 24 hour ban
    > 4th time: 1 week ban
    > 5th time: permanent ban

 

- Griefing includes body blocking spots or interfering with other teammates and their spots. For example by closing constantly a door that is used to get to a spot, removing a prop that they require to boost or by triggering stuck prevention on purpose, etc. This rule only affects players of the same team.
    > 1st time: warn (no punishment, but have it logged with GFL Bans)
    > 2nd time: kick

    > 3rd time: 24 hour ban
    > 4th time: 1 week ban
    > 5th time: permanent ban

- Ghosting includes spectating people to tag them (or giving away their positions), following people as hider then switching to seeker and giving away the position of other hiders while hiding.

    > 1st time: warn (no punishment, but have it logged with GFL Bans)
    > 2nd time: kick

    > 3rd time: 24 hour ban
    > 4th time: 1 week ban
    > 5th time: permanent ban

- Avoiding Seeker is leaving the server in order to not be first seeker or have more seekers at the start of the round. If someone does this, give them some time to say if they had connection issues. Otherwise if they join back in the same map they avoided seeker on, follow admin times. If they don't join back they aren't avoiding seeker!

    > 1st time: warn (no punishment, but have it logged with GFL Bans)
    > 2nd time: kick

    > 3rd time: 24 hour ban
    > 4th time: 1 week ban
    > 5th time: permanent ban

- Tryharding is people seeking so much on purpose that they affect the server population. You should consult with staff beforehand (or send evidence to staff channel if you're 100% sure) then proceed with the following.

    > 1st time: warn (no punishment, but have it logged with GFL Bans)
    > 2nd time: 24 hour ban + ping @Fafy on discord staff chat so he can remove their seeking abilities

Guidelines
- When adding a song to the JukeBox, make sure it's not longer than 8:30 and format the title and author name properly or the song will be removed.
- Never ban, gag or mute a person as a joke as their punishment will be forever logged in GFLBans and this will be considered admin abuse.
- Use commands with care, make sure you're targeting the right person (you can use ulx commands in console by starting with the word ulx and it'll show suggestions for you).
    > This also means that you are not to abuse commands. Don't spam the slap command every single map, change models often, ignite people all the time, etc.
- Admins are expected to follow the rules as well as enforce them.
- Try to play on the server for at least 6 hours a week. This is not a hard requirement, but make sure to notify staff team for any long absence.
- Be friendly, we're on the server to have fun!
