• Intentionally Team Killing a 7th Cavalry Admin while actively being an admin will result in an instant ban from the server;
• If you accidentally Team Kill or hurt a team member apologize immediately

Spirit of the rule - Intentionally team killing other players is detrimental to the spirit of team play. While friendly fire is a reality in the air battlefield, it is unacceptable and should be avoided.

2. No destruction of friendly equipment.

---

• This includes purposeful and accidental occurrences;
• This includes all actions other than enemy fire: crashing, using explosives and shooting;

Spirit of the rule - This rule is similar in spirit to the first rule. There's already enough concern with the enemy trying to wax that armor or aviation asset.
