The use of any public game servers owned or operated by Team Special Forces is subject to agreement to our Terms of Use and is provided under those conditions. Connecting to our servers constitutes agreement to the Terms of Use and to these rules.

These rules are comprehensive and apply to all games, however each individual server may have additional rules that may be displayed when you first connect to the server or displayed in the text chat.

Rules

1. No hacking, cheating, or exploiting of any kind. We expect that all players will use pure game files free of modification and will not use any technical means to create any unauthorized advantage over their opponents.
   
   
2. No profanity or abusive language will be tolerated. All guests on our servers will conduct themselves in a civil manner and avoid the use of profanity either in text chat or voice chat. Other abusive or harassing conduct will not be tolerated.
   
   
3. No intentional team-killing or destruction of team vehicles or equipment. Disrupting the game by firing upon friendly forces will not be tolerated. Players may not kill teammates for any reason, especially to access any vehicle or piece of equipment.
   
   
4. No flooding of text chat or voice chat is permitted. Spamming the chat with messages as to either draw attention to yourself or to disrupt the flow of the chat will not be tolerated. Similarly, obstructing voice chat by broadcasting noise or otherwise preventing proper use of the voice chat will not be tolerated.
   
   
5. No vote-kicking when a server moderator is present. If a disruptive player who violates these rules needs to be removed, please inform the server moderator. Abuse of vote-kicking functions will not be tolerated.
   
   
6. No impersonation of any other person or false association with any organization. If you are wearing a clan tag, you must be a member of that clan. You may not use any name that impersonates any other player or attempts to deceive anyone of your affiliation to any person or organization.
   
   
7. No rude or disruptive behavior. Any player that we determine to be a nuisance or otherwise unwanted on our servers will be removed. We may remove any player that displays an uncooperative or nasty attitude towards others.
   
   
8. No harassment of inexperienced players. All players are welcomed on our servers, regardless of skill level, unless otherwise indicated in the individual server rules.
   
   
9. No recruitment or advertising is allowed. Our servers are for our exclusive recruitment use. Violators will be banned. Any unauthorized advertising is also prohibited.
   
   
10. Any language may be spoken in chat, but if a server moderator needs to speak to you, you must communicate in English. We do not prohibit the use of any foreign language on our server, however you must be able to respond to a server moderator in English should he or she need to talk to you. Using non-English languages is not permitted for the purposes of using profanity or abusive language towards others.
    
    
11. All strategies and tactics are considered valid unless explicitly prohibited on an individual server. Specifically, "camping" and "base-killing" are allowed unless it is forbidden by the individual server's rules. Lame kills are part of the game.
    
    
12. Do not beg for weapons, slots, vehicles, equipment, or anything else. You can ask nicely once or twice, but repeated begging for any implement is not allowed.
    
    
13. Respect others and use teamwork. Play with the other members of your team, talk with them, and cooperate on common objectives. This will avoid friendly fire and improve the quality of the gameplay.

Conditions

We reserve the right to remove any person from our servers and to terminate their future ability to use them, for any reason and without notice. You may be kicked or banned from our servers for any violation of these rules or for any other reason at our exclusive discretion.

You may appeal any action taken against you by our server moderators to our Chief of Technical Operations (CTO) by means of this website. The decisions of the CTO are final in regards to the removal of players from our servers.

We may close our servers at any time and without notice to conduct private practices, scrimmages, matches, or other activities. We do not guarantee that any server will be available for public use at any time.

We may use ban lists from third-party sources to prevent known troublemakers from using our servers and we may provide information about you and your use of our servers to third parties for the purpose of identifying and banning troublemakers. Information about your use of our server may also be relayed to statistical sources. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any information submitted to third parties.

We may use anti-cheat programs on our servers to monitor your use of our servers and to take screenshots of your computer screen while you are on our servers. We may retain these screenshots indefinitely and share them with third parties. There is a possibility, although rare, that these screenshots may show your private computer data other than your use of our servers. We take no responsibility whatsoever for any cases where non-game information is relayed to us through screenshots or other means.

We may collect information regarding your use of our servers for the purpose of enforcing these rules, including your IP address, player name, player hash or identification number, and any other information provided by the game to our servers.

The chat functions of our servers may be logged and we may keep those logs indefinitely and share them with third parties. This may include private messages between you and other players.
