BK TEAM SPEAK RULES & ETIQUETTE

INTRODUCTION:
All BK admins, members and guests are expected to conduct themselves in a polite and friendly manner at all times while accessing the BK Team Speak (TS) server. In order to help facilitate this conduct the following Rules & Etiquette will apply all or in part to BK Admins, BK members and guests while accessing the BK TS server. When an issue comes into question that may not be covered by the TS rules, good common sense and decency shall prevail.

Section II. All BK Members and Guests

Rule #1
At no time may any player use inappropriate language that includes 1racism, swearing, lewd, sexual or disrespectful comments. Other topics of discussion to avoid are race, religion, politics, hacking and illegal drugs for obvious reasons.

Rule #2
When you hear someone call for and admin please stop all communication on TS until the issue is resolved. The proper way to ask for an admin is: [I need an admin on server (#)]

Rule #3
When asking for an admin to take an action (i.e. kick or ban) just give the server number, player name, explain the player has received the appropriate number of warnings and the facts/reasons as you know them. To avoid the appearance of non-conformity from one offense to similar or like offenses, do not request a specific action as these are at the discretion of the admin. Just ask for an Admin`s assistance. (remember we have guests on the open channels)

Rule #4
When a player joins the game server, do not editorialize, opinionate or use descriptive words about any particular player, (i.e. Player ABC is a known runner and continually runs around the maps). (remember we have guests on the open channels)

Rule #5
If some one else requests an admin`s assistance (i.e. Running), it would be reasonable and acceptable to add facts such as, that particular player was warned in earlier maps, or he was kicked earlier today, but please keep it to the facts. (short, to the point and do not editorialize).

Rule #6
If you suspect someone of cheating, hacking or glitching request an Admin, and have him switch you to a TS private channel where you may voice your concern. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SUSPECTED PERSON OUT ON TEAM SPEAK. (remember we have guests on the open channels)

Rule #7
BK members as well as non-BK members should type warnings to players who are breaking the rules. Avoid requesting an ADMIN to do your typing for you. BK members should attempt to verify warnings typed by non-BK members unless that non-BK member is well established and known to BK admins or other BK members.

Rule #8
Do not call out rule breakers, (i.e. runners) without having a name to go along with the complaint. If no name is available for one reason or another, although frustrating at times, just overlook it. If a situation appears to be getting out of hand, request assistance from any BK member to help spectate.

Rule #9
Do not announce that you are going to spectate a specific player on Team Speak or in game. It gives the impression that we are targeting these specific individuals. On the other hand it is acceptable to inform everyone you going to spectate on a perspective server.

Rule #10
BK has a zero tolerance policy when in comes to racism. Persons will be banned permanently for violating this section of the rule.

Fine Print:
The above rules are not all inclusive but are intended to provide a set of guidelines for all BK members and non-members on how to conduct themselves while accessing BK Team Speak. At all times it is expected that BK Members and non-members alike are to conduct themselves in a polite and courteous manner. At no time shall anyone accessing the BK Team Speak shall engage in any inappropriate conversations, make undesired comments as outlined herein and governed by good common sense and decency.

Bad Karma *BK* reserves the right to change or amend these rules at anytime without prior notice to you or its members. It is each person`s responsibility to check the website to determine if the rules have amended, changed or updated in any way.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

How about rule #11
No complaining about perks and the players using them. This is becoming a widespread problem, and I don't like to see the tension with our BK family.
