Rules of Engagement
Keep the sand between us and the enemy team, not between teammates. Throw sand and expect a trip to the spectator bench.
- 01
No teamkilling, ever
Accidental splash damage happens — apologize in chat. Deliberate TKs, vehicle-jacking teammates, or base-camping uncap bases is an instant kick, second offense is a ban.
- 02
No cheats, no exploits
Exploiting known glitches (such as terrain clipping) will get you sent back to boot camp.
- 03
Please respect all the players in the server(s)
Courtesy and common sense is expected on the servers, if your actions are going to make someone else's game play not fun, don't do it. The overall objective is to create a fun and friendly atmosphere.
- 04
Voice comms are for the "mission"
Loud music, mic spam, and slurs over command chat results in a mute, then a kick. Keep the channels clean & clear for everyone to communicate.
- 05
Forums Etiquette
Posting of any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws be it of your country, the country where “ReD DawG” is hosted or International Law is prohibited.
- 06
Post a Report
Report cheats or disruptive players on the server in the Report a player forum. Please post some kind of proof such as a screenshot or quick video to help speed up the process.
- 07
Admins have final say
Disagree with a ruling? That's fine we make mistakes, there is a Discord channel for Unban Appeals, but the preferred method is to file it on the forums under Unban Appeals.
