Server Gameplay Rules

 

S1. Usage of cheats, exploits, third-party tools, or any other related clientside modifications that give a player an unfair advantage over other players is not allowed.

S2. Do not attempt to exploit, glitch, or otherwise take advantage of an unintentional feature of the server or map.

S3. Sprays containing nudity, hate speech, or other obscene content are not allowed.

S4. No ghosting.

a. This means you cannot use spectate or other out-of-game resources to gain an advantage over players.

b. e.g. Using spectate to find a player and kill them.

S5. Do not farm points or otherwise attempt to take advantage of flaws in the point system.

a. This includes spamming suicides, farming with other players, or otherwise exploiting flaws in the point system.

S6. Do not build teleporter exits in spawn unless the teleporter entrance is also within the same spawn.

a. This is not allowed as it allows enemy spies to enter the base.

S7. Do not enter the enemy base by any means (such as by a teleporter as spy).

S8. Do not portal glitch. Note that portal camping is allowed.

a. Portal glitching is where a player or a player's building is stationed where players exit a portal, causing them to get suck inside the other player. (Disallowed)

b. Portal camping is where a player is within melee or firing range of the exit, but the player does not get stuck. (Allowed)

S10. If the server has a boxing arena, only melee weapons are allowed in that zone. Do not use any other weapons or take advantage of exploits allowing you to take non-melee weapons into the arena.

 

Trade Server Rules

 

T1. Do not scam or attempt to scam. Scamming will result in a permanent ban. If you have been scammed, please provide proof through a screenshot or demo. Word of mouth is not proof. Report any scams to HG Bans (hellsgamers.com/bans).

T2. Trade Moderators or Divisional Leadership and higher can act as a middle-man to ensure fair trades or bets (e.g. spycrab competitions). If you do not wish for a middle-man, or there is not a Trade Moderator around to act as a middle-man, we cannot enforce the terms of the bet. If a Trade Moderator acts as a middle-man in a bet, and one of the participants reneges, the offending player will be permanently banned from HG.

a. An always updated list of all of the TF2 Moderators and Divisional Leadership can be found here.

T3. The only people allowed to raffle are TF2 Divisional Leadership in HeLLsGamers (i.e. Admiral MacK, Combine, ☆Raging☆, reploidzerox, or Zeus). Nobody else is allowed to raffle to ensure that nobody is scammed during a raffle.

a. An always updated list of TF2 Divisional Leadership can be found here.

T4. Do not interrupt other players trying to trade. Trades have priority on voice chat.

T5. Do not mess with other players when they are spycrabbing/boxing/dueling.

T6. Do not send random trade requests to other players. Offer your trade in chat or over voice chat and if someone is interested then you can send them a trade request.

T7. Do not advertise a trade more than once every 60 seconds. A trade advertisement may consist of one message that contains 3 sentences maximum.
