RAW Code of Conduct
Rebels at War Code of Conduct
WHO WE ARE
A group of PC Gamers who enjoy playing in an environment free
of bad language, cheating, and smacktards.
We enjoying playing in a cooperative environment using
TeamSpeak to enhance the game and promote fellowship among the
gamers.
We believe in teamwork, good attitudes, and good
sportsmanship.
We believe that a clan should have a representative democracy
where the Senior Administrators have voting rights in clan policy
and serve the best interests of all clan members.
Guidelines
All members of RAW and Visitors to our servers
will abide by the rules governing our server. Members will agree to
abide by policies set for membership. Basic rules, ethics, and
behavior apply to RAW members and recruits even when playing on
other servers outside of the RAW Community.
Ethics
RAW is founded on fellowship, good sportsmanship, and having fun
while striving for positive Christian values. This does not mean
that everyone in RAW is a Christian, nor do they have to be. We
have based many of our rules and expectations on Biblical
principals. We expect members and visitors to act in a responsible
and appropriate manner, which is considerate and family friendly.
This is why we have the following rules:
1. RULES FOR ALL GAMES.
Do not use the Lord's name in Vain! (WE TAKE THIS
SERIOUSLY).
All communication through RAW servers shall be family friendly. Text and voice chat must be clean, respectful and shall not involve promotion of any illegal activity. Failure to comply may result in removal and ban from our servers. RAW members failing to comply may result in forfeiture of membership.
No cursing, profanity, or swearing will be tolerated in text
chat or TeamSpeak. We understand an occasional word may slip out.
This should be the exception and not the rule.
TeamSpeak use is recommended.
Set your TeamSpeak up on push to talk.
Your name on TeamSpeak will be the same or similar to the name
you use in the game.
No inappropriate/bad screen names.
No vulgar behavior, chats should be safe for children and
adults alike.
No threatening language/comments. Gamers will be considerate
and treat others with respect.
Gamers will not sabotage their teammates and will make every
attempt to promote good teamwork.
Gamers will not argue against Admin instruction or clan policy
in game text or teamspeak. When discussion is necessary it will
be done on our website forums. The Administrators will make every
attempt to listen to feedback and requests. The Administrators pay
RAW Clans expenses, so they make the rules.
Gamers will show honor, dignity, and good sportsmanship.
No Spawn Camping. Spawn camping is defined as the act of waiting for an opponent to "Spawn" and then killing the opponent before the opponent is able to protect him or herself.
Spawn camping in RAW terms is some one that does this over and over by deliberately shooting or throwing explosives into the spawns.
Gamers will not engage in behavior such as insults or trash
talk.
Non RAW members may be kicked to make room for members in this order: Rule breakers, spectators, low scores (meaning newest players), and high ping.
Team killing is not tolerated! You will be kicked. Continued
team killing will result in a ban.
Gamers will not destroy friendly equipment as it results in
having a disadvantage against the other team. This will result in a
kick from the server.
Gamers will not kill teammates for vehicles. This could result
in a ban from the server. Remember, we encourage teamwork.
Gamers will not Pure Bail from healthy fixed wing aircraft.
Real pilots do not ditch their aircraft to take a base. Your
aircraft must be smoking in order to bail. Pure bailing will result
in a kick from the server.
Other clans may not use our server for recruiting! We are
paying the bill for the server and we do not want it used as a
recruiting ground. You will be banned for such behavior!
RAW members will accept that they represent RAW clan. We expect
members to behave in a manner that brings honor and respect
to the RAW name.
Players will not engage in behavior that disrupts the game.
Disruptive game play is anything that results in a large number of
complaints or evacuation of players from the server.
The RAW clan will not tolerate racial, rude, slighting, insulting, or
flaming postings or email. This includes the RAW forums or any
other public forums in or out of the game. If an individual is
kicked or banned or has any other problem with the RAW clan or its
members we expect that individual to communicate civilly.

2. Cheating.
RAW members and visitors will not engage in any type of cheating
while on RAW servers, or any other servers, anywhere, anytime
PERIOD. This includes hacks to the code, bots that allow for
unfair advantages, or using exploits in the game code to gain an
unfair advantage. Glitching is also considered cheating. Glitching
is using unintended mistakes in the map to a person's advantage
(wall/floor/hanger/pod glitches). Cheating of any type on a RAW
server or any other server will result in a permanent ban from the
RAW servers. Expressing knowledge of cheats and glitches does not
impress us. RAW members and recruits will not publicly discuss,
test, or teach any type of glitch or cheat.
3. Other Servers.
RAW members will honor and respect the rules of other servers.
Although not mandatory, we ask that RAW members wear their tags
when visiting other servers so that you can help the entire gaming
community know that RAW is the best!
4. Dispute Resolution.
RAW members and guest alike will work out disputes in a
civilized and respectable manner. Members should always try to work
things out initially on a one-to-one basis first and the other
party needs be made aware that there is a problem. When these
disputes cannot be worked out, these matters will be brought to the
Board of Directors for review and resolution. A decision will be
rendered and the decision of the committee stands. Failure to abide
by the committees decision will result in an immediate permanent
ban from all RAW servers and activities.
If a banned Individual requests an appeal, it automatically
goes into a 7-day review period before anything will be done. The
banned individual will stay banned for the entire 7-day period
pending the outcome of the investigation process! During this
period of review the following will take place: (1) Evidence will
be gathered. (2) The admin who banned them will be consulted and
brought into the investigation and asked for all evidence. (3) The
person who was banned will be consulted for their side of the story
(4) The committee will discuss these items over the week in the
forums (5) A voice meeting will be set-up for the committee to
discuss the issue on team speak on or around day 7. (6) A decision
will be rendered and the decision of the committee stands. Failure
to abide by the committees decision or refusal to stay off the RAW
Servers during the ban will result in an immediate permanent ban
from all RAW servers and activities.
5. Rules, Enforcement, and Punishment.
It is the responsibility of guests and members a like to know
the rules.
Frequent reviews of the code of conduct is recommended.
Rules will be enforced evenhandedly for all people. RAW
Administrators are careful not to let emotions impair
judgment.
No exceptions to the rules. No guest or RAW member is above the
law!
Individual's who employ rude, slighting, insulting, or flaming
postings or email against the RAW clan or its membership are
subject to immediate ban and forfeit any appeal rights from the RAW
game server and website.
Individuals who generate a large number of complaints or
evacuation of players from the server are subject to a permanent
ban. When bans are implemented for disrupting game play, the Senior
Administrators Council will vote prior to the ban becoming
permanent. It will take a majority vote of available Senior
Administrators to enact. At least 3 Senior Administrators must be
in agreement before a temporary ban is imposed. The temporary ban
and voting process will be concluded within one week.
Raw reserves the right to remove any player it deems necessary
from RAW servers to keep peace and harmony in the clan.
