Specific definitions of WARDOGS Server Rules
The following list of all server rules is in accordance with the list above.
Rule 0 – Admin Discretion
- Any behavior deemed harmful to the health of the server or the community may result in administrative action, up to and including a permanent ban, including behavior no rule below anticipated.
- This rule exists precisely because the game is new.
Rule 1 – Respect and Conduct
- Hate speech, racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, or targeted harassment of any kind is strictly prohibited, on voice, in text, and in your name or clan tag.
- Slurs or discriminatory language
- Mocking accents or impersonations
- Offensive player names, tags, or transmitted audio
- Sexual harassment or persistent unwanted contact
Zero Tolerance: Official warning, instant kick, or ban depending on severity (based on established 7Cav norms).
Rule 2 – No Cheating or Exploits
Cheats, hacks, or deliberate exploit abuse result in a permanent ban.
- Aimbots, wallhacks, radar, or any third-party gameplay advantage
- Lag switching or deliberate connection manipulation
- Knowingly repeating a bug that grants an unfair advantage, including map geometry, vehicle, building, or economy bugs
A game this new will have bugs, and stumbling into one is not cheating. Tell an admin or report it in Discord.
Rule 3 – No Griefing or Team Sabotage
Any action that intentionally disrupts your own team's effort is prohibited.
- Intentional teamkilling
- Destroying, stealing, or wasting your team's assets to deny them to teammates
- Blocking teammates, spawns, exits, or vehicles
- Microphone spam, soundboards, music, or text spam
- Deliberately feeding kills or objectives to another team
- Camping within 250 meters of team headquarters
Good Faith: Accidents happen: acknowledge them and move on.
Rule 4 – Building and Fortifications
- Where the build system lets you help your team, use it for that. Do not use it against them.
- No building to block teammates, spawns, or routes
- No destroying useful friendly construction
- No building purely to waste team resources
Rule 5 – Communication and Teamwork
These are teamplay servers. That is the entire reason to play here instead of somewhere else.
- Play the objective. Contesting the Control Zone is what wins matches.
- Use communications if you can. A microphone is not mandatory, but listening and responding is expected.
- English on team-wide channels, so everyone can follow a call.
- Help new players
Rule 6 – Advertising, Tags, and Impersonation
- No unauthorized advertising or community recruitment on our servers
- No impersonating 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment members or using [7CAV]-style (=7CAV=) tags without membership
- Unauthorized tag use may result in kicks until corrected
