1.
No Hacking, Cheating or Glitching. We ban all hackers and cheaters.
2. Never accuse a {-19th-} teammate of cheating. If you honestly feel a
teammate is out of line, contact a staff leader through PM, email, Xfire,
or on a private channel in teamspeak. If you are found to be unjustly
"bad mouthing" a teammate publicly or on any forum, game, or
other public venue, whether it be ours or someone elses, you will be
punished and put on probation for x-amount of time.
3. Foul, offensive, or abusive language will not be tolerated in game,
in the forums, or in teamspeak. Remember, we have players of all ages
from all backgrounds and beliefs playing at all times. Many are young
children.
4. We expect all players, including visitors, to be polite and
courteous, show good sportsmanship, and uphold the integrity that is the
{-19th-}. No name-calling, excessive taunting, harassing, or rudeness
will be tolerated.
5. While we do make exceptions for double-clanning on non-supported
games, we ask that you wear your 19th tags with pride in all areas of
gaming; in teamspeak, Xfire, and in the servers.
6. At no time as a {-19th-} member will you post anything that promotes
racism, violence, drug use, or any other illegal activity for the public
to see in Xfire, teamspeak, or other Web Sites. Anyone found doing so
will be sent multiple warnings and may be punished without excuse.
7. While it is not a requirement for membership, members are encouraged
to donate according to their ability to support our servers and
teamspeak. You can use the donation link on the clan links of the forum
to pay through PayPal.
8. We will use teamspeak for clan communications, which we will help you
get set up. If parents do not want their children using teamspeak, just
let an admin know as this is very understandable. We ask that all
{-19th-} members use Xfire so that we can contact you and track your
gameplay. If your PC's memory cannot support Xfire during gameplay,
please use it when not playing.
9. No member will have the right to create or edit teamspeak channels
without the consent of one of the 19th staff members.
10. In order to maintain member status you must show up at least 2-4
times a week on the forum, ts, and server(s). We realize that we have
members in different time zones and countries, and that there are other
activities such as work, church, school, sports, etc. If that is the
case, please join us on the weekends. We don't feel that it's asking too
much for an 10-20 hour per month commitment to insure a clean gaming
environment for everyone.
11. If you must leave the {-19th-} for an extended period of time and do
so on good terms with proper resignation then decide to re-join, the
19th admins will decide what rank they will allow you to return with. We
will respect your decision to leave should you do so, and ask that you
respect the decisions of the admins when re-instating you.
12. Always respect the feelings of other members even if you may not
agree with them. We have a very diverse membership. Everyone has an
occasional bad day. While this does not justify unacceptable behavior,
we are a family and expect everyone to treat each other as such.
13. We do not allow recruitment by other clans on our servers.
14. While in game, listen to the {-19th-} admins /console.
Sometimes gameplay can get very heated and exciting and one can
get caught up in the emotion that comes from our games. Our admins are
very fair, cool headed, and will deal with anything that may be going
on.
15. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!
