Code of Conduct for the 15th MEU (SOC) Public Server

[S4 Logistics]

Code of Conduct - Rules on the 15th MEU (SOC) Public Server

Note: This is an ever-evolving list, and does not necessarily constitute the complete code of conduct for players on this server.

 

Core Rules

Violating these rules in any way (unless stated in the exceptions section below) is a bannable offense. No first-offense warnings need be given, these rules are common sense, and ignorance is not a defense.

 

1. Do not shoot at any players. Ever. Under any circumstances. No exceptions.
2. Do not willfully destroy allied property, either through weapons fire or through misuse.
3. Glitching, hacking, cheat mods, personal arsenals, or any other unapproved mods are not permitted.
4. Racist, sexist, or any similar verbal abuse is not permitted.
5. Do not grief other players.
6. Do not willfully murder civilians, destroy their homes/buildings/vehicles, or execute surrendered prisoners of war.
7. What the admin says, goes. Do not argue. If you feel you have been punished unfairly, post an appeal here.
8. Personal Object Spawn utilities and Loadout utilities are considered cheats and will result in a ban.

 

Additional Rules

Violation of these rules will generally not result in an immediate ban, but are subject to admin interpretation and enforcement.

 

1. Using hacks, exploits, or blatant workarounds to get into locked OPFOR vehicles is not allowed. If an S-4 admin with Zeus capability catches you with one, they will first warn you, but are within their rights to destroy the vehicle with Zeus if you do not comply.
2. Using blatantly OPFOR uniforms is not allowed, despite the unlocked arsenal. Weapons are fine. Offending uniforms and body equipment will be added to the blacklist as necessary.
3. Make every attempt to select the correct player slot for the role you intend to fill. Do not eat up a pilot spot, and then proceed to grab a rifle and run on the ground.
4. Do not sit AFK on the server regardless of the current server population. It causes unnecessary network traffic, and if you are alone it keeps the OPFOR active with no BLUFOR to resist them.
5. Any 15th MEU member may be voted Admin if required. Public patrons are prohibited from being voted admin.

 

Special Rules for Armor/Air

Violation of these rules will generally not result in an immediate ban, but are subject to admin interpretation and enforcement.

 

1. All pilots and armor crew must be on Teamspeak and connected to ACRE, as well as monitoring a standard radio network (10 or 50 for armor, 10 or 80 for air).
2. This server is not where you learn to fly, vehicles cost resources and aren't easily replaced. Practice in the 3den editor.
3. Transport helicopters may be left in the field by a group if the pilot wishes to participate in the ground assault, but it may not be abandoned. Being shot down and leaving your aircraft is not a violation of this rule, but please make every attempt to recover the vehicle or have it recovered by a heavy-lift helicopter.
4. Helicopters and armor are expensive and are not personal taxis. The above rule does not apply to solo players.
5. Shut off/spool down your vehicles when staging at a base. Some of these vehicles are very loud at close proximity and prevent others from talking.
6. Do not drop high explosive munitions in densely populated or urban areas. M282 APKWS MPP munitions are high penetration, low splash guided rockets that are adept at destroying light skinned vehicles or disabling heavier ones without significant area damage.
7. The following weapons systems/ammunition types are not allowed for any vehicle or player under any circumstances:
   • Mk19 Canister Round (40mm flechette)
   • Any cluster munitions (bombs beginning with CBU)
   • GBU-24 w/ BLU-118 (thermobaric)
