What are the specifics on bannable behaviour offenses

[Nord maxxer]

(this topic isn't about cheating or game breaking things, just player behaviour and limits on the rules on things surrounding VOIP, behaviour, etc.)

were all roughly familiar with what is and isn't allowed in the game but I do not know what warrants what level of punishment, does a distasteful or mistaken statement warrant an immediate ban and is there any ban that skips momentary ban and goes straight to permanent,

also what warrants a warning rather than a kick or ban. A lot of these things from my understanding has not been given specific's about, and I don't know what is what.
It has all been very vague and vague rules tend to suffer from biased selective enforcement.

like for example is there a category of severity, or is it all left up to selective enforcement by the individual currently handling it?

things have been so vague that from what info I've gathered I only know this (which I am unsure what the accuracy of it all is)


1, a acquaintance of mine states if you receive around 10 or so reports he will be auto-banned for around a week, and would need to contact a moderator in order for them to undo the ban anytime sooner (he is a little-bird pilot who flies in strange ways and has games where he gets 100 kills in it, due to it he has been banned 20 times now from mass reports, being manually unbanned every time)

2, if you receive 2 timeout bans for VOIP offences the next one will be permanent, no info on cool-down or anything on it

this is all I know about the specifics on how it all works and by all means it seems very vague. would it be possible for a consistence description or summary of 1 how the system works and 2 what warrants what.

(PS, I have yet to receive any kicks, bans, or warnings and I've heard you can look at what other players report you on but I don't know where that menu sits so haven't seen it.
I am not looking to get into any trouble anytime soon because I enjoy this game and want to keep playing it.)

"Please explain in detail the rules"
"it's pretty clear cut, just: (vague nonsense)."

It was indicated in a previous thread that they will ban for playing copyright music over VOIP as this annoys the feckless sellout streamers. Is this true?

OP: You can see what reports you have had by pressing TAB and clicking on your name when dead.

yeah the answered are likely littered around in devlogs and such but it would be nice to have them all clearly stated just like the consent thing you click every-time you get into a server

And as said by a developer in one thread, against the rules.

"hate speech" will probably do it... whatever that is... good luck defining it

It's pretty easy to define. No slurs or degrading someone based off of their race, nationality, sexuality, or gender.

and yet that is still as vague as ever. no, the true definition of "hate speech" is whatever the "moderator" doesnt like at that moment.

In what way was that vague? What part do you not understand?

define degradation
define slur
define race
define nationality
define sexuality
define gender

and then give me an example of something you think isnt offensive, so i can take offense to it and label it as "hate speech"

welcome to the NWO

All of these are already defined and not vague. Please refer here for any confusion you may have.

i didnt ask for a link to the dictionary, i asked for YOU to define them, and for YOU to give me an example.

you did neither, because you know you were about to get blown out, dont you.

oh well, moving on

My definitions would be the same as the dictionary. Regardless the rules are not vague. Also I will not be giving you an example as you have already said you would find it offensive. :) I do not wish to offend.
