The following is the complete list of Rules. This topic intends to be comprehensive. If you have no intention of offending other players, harming the server, or gaining certain unfair advantages, then you will already be following most of these rules.
Further, some people may argue that players do not have a chance to read the rules; if a player is banned, they may appeal, giving them a chance to read over the rules.
There are a few key words to summarise here:
- Respect
- Maturity
- Rationality
Note: Some sections may have missing numbers, this is because when a rule is removed, the numbers are not changed to avoid confusion in other places that reference that specific number.
Section 0 - General
#1
These rules aim to be complete coverage of actions or issues that are not permitted here. It is lengthy to provide accurate descriptions of what the rule is and how it can be broken. However, when a player’s behaviour is subversive, malicious or otherwise widely unwanted, then the rules may not be used to counter such behaviour. A ban made of this type will only be created if it has either: been made clear to the player that such behaviour is causing trouble and necessary warnings have been conveyed, or when such behaviour involves rare cases such as bots or software exploits. When such an issue is not unique and is found to be repeated enough times, it will be listed as a rule.
#2 Proof
Proof of breakage of rules is only required in the case of grief, where the history plugin is available on that dimension, where the images clearly show what was griefed, the history displays when it was griefed, and the actions rolled back. The exception is when the griefer attempts to tamper with the evidence before it can be collected appropriately, which makes it too difficult to provide proper evidence. Other bans do not require proof.
#3 Accountability
All members are responsible for their own actions when judged against the rules. Only managers with direct orders to subvert a specific rule, such as testing the system, are permitted not to be accountable for breaking that specific rule.
#4 Community
Any actions, which may or may not include those covered by the rules in the other sections, which go against other users specifically to ruin their experience in the community, may be banned without warning. This rule will only be applied when it is clear that a user is trying to ruin another member’s experience by repeated insults, teasing or other means.
#5 Warnings
Unless otherwise stated in a specific rule, warnings whose purpose is to fulfil the requirements for a ban are only considered valid if given by a Staff Member. Thus, warnings given by non-staff members do not count towards any requirements for a ban when a rule requires them before a ban can be made.
#6 Aiding Others
Actions taken by a user to aid someone in breaking the rules, including to try and prevent the rule breaker from being found out, as well as helping someone avoid detection for ban evasion, is forbidden. A user that is found to be doing this will be banned.
Section 1 - Chat Rules
#1 Spam
Spam is not tolerated in the chat. An anti-spam plugin is in use on the server to control spam while limited moderation is in effect; however, spam is punishable by Ban if the spammer shows no reluctance of future spam.
Examples
yskqbsilqbsiqkuzoabsunwisndowkqpzmsiqhksbqiqbwkhsuqbwihwiimaeaturpploljabqobskwhw
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
hi hi hi hi hi hi hi
#2 Spam - Caps
Full Caps, repeated use of caps and mostly caps are not tolerated in the chat. It is not needed in any way and is seen simply as spam. The same conditions apply to the use of Caps as other types of spam.
Acceptable: Make sure that you DO NOT take it off until the end.
Unacceptable: MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT TAKE IT OFF near the end.
Examples
I AM THE BEST PERSON
GO TO THE ARENA you idiots
COME TO SPAWN asdsds
#3 Spam - Caps Exceptions
Emoticons, such as XD and 
are permitted on the basis that they are not consecutively used without any attached words. Suppose that a user sends 2 chat lines, each with only one Emoticon; this is considered spam. The same goes for acronyms such as LOL and OMG; While they are permitted, repeated, single-word use (or in combination with an emoticon) is forbidden and considered spam.
Examples
xD
xD
LOL xD
xD
:D xD :D ;)
#4 Racism / Discrimination
Racism, discrimination and hate speech are not tolerated in the chat. Any person violating this rule in the chat (or otherwise) will be banned.
Examples
Fucking niggers should be banned
Chinese people aren't allowed in here
White people should be burned
I hate America. It's a pathetic cesspool filled with worthless scum. I wish a nuclear bomb would wipe them off the face of the Earth.
They're all a bunch of subhuman savages who deserve nothing but misery.
#5 Profanity and Related
Profanity and related language is to be used rarely and may not be used against someone.
Examples
Fucking boss
What the fuck
stupid piece of shit
Fuck you Rofle
Whomever spawned that boss, fuck you
#6 Religious, sexual, political or other
Religious, sexual and political or other related divisive discussions are not to be held within the server. These create divides between players and/or are not suitable for the Terraria audience. At least one warning will be given as long as such a discussion does not turn into a violation of S1#4.
Examples
If you don't believe in God you need to repent your sins now
Christianity is obviously a lie
Does anyone want to see my penis?
Why are you gay?
pornhub.com
Canada is dumb. Why would they elect such a dumb person as prime minister?
Who would want to live in America? They can't even deal with their issues with guns properly.
#7 Impersonation
Using the name of, claiming to be or hinting at your identity being that of another person is impersonation.
- Impersonating other members of the community will result in a ban.
- Impersonating those outside of the community, when considered by Staff to be malicious or fraudulent, will result in a warning and any further offence will result in a ban.
- Impersonating those outside of the community when not considered malicious or fraudulent, and therefore for entertainment purposes, is permitted.
- Registering a name that is considered impersonation will cause that account to be disabled.
Examples
Note that in all these examples, it is assumed that the person talking is not who they claim.
[Member] <George>: I am Rofle
Jokes do not allow you to get around this rule:
[Member] <George>: I am Rofle (joke)
Neither is faking:
[Member] <George>: I am Rofle
[Member] <George>: not
[Guest] <Bob>: <Rofle> hi everybody
[Guest] <Bob>: I am Rofle alt
[Guest] <Bob>: This is an alt, my real account is Rofle
[Member] <Jimmy>: I am the owner and will ban you
We will assume you are not a popular person unless proof is given otherwise:
[Member] <Redigit>: I created Terraria, AMA
[Member] <Spagit>: I created Terraria, AMA
Appearing to be the server:
[Member] <Bob> :
King Slime has awoken!
A claim to authority, regardless of a specific person being impersonated:
[Member] <Bob> : I'm going to switch to my admin account and ban you
[Member] <Bob> : If you don't stop I will ban you
#8 Non-English Languages
For the public chat, English is the only language supported. i.e. Players are free to use any language they want. However, our Staff is not required to understand nor speak any language other than English. Players can be punished for violations of the rules regardless of whether they have understood our warnings if their inability to understand the warnings is due to their inability to understand English.
Examples
A spammer will still be punished, even if they cannot understand a warning written in English:
[Member] <George>: Привет фоышлвоыфвошывоышвоышво
[Moderator] <Tip>: Don't spam George
[Member] <George>: Я не умею читать по английски
[Member] <George>: фоышывпоышвоыавраврво
#9 Character or otherwise, Usernames
Character Names and Usernames should themselves follow the chat rules.
Particular differences for this rule:
- Profanity is to be limited, and therefore having it in your name at all is in violation.
Players will be given 2 warnings to change their name, before being Banned.
Examples
N1gg3r
Eat my pussy
Penis
#10 Advertising
Publicly displaying, trying to display or sending anything closely related to a foreign IP or domain is forbidden. This includes IPv6, IPv4 and local network IP addresses. If you want to tell friends of another server, use “/w” to chat to the player directly. It is still a violation if you use /w or other commands to send out foreign IP addresses or domains as a way of bypassing public chat for advertising purposes. You are allowed to advertise a domain such as “youtube.com” as it is already commonly known and not directly associated with the content and environment of our servers.
Terraria versions are exempt from this rule (even though they are valid IPv4 addresses) so long as they are being used as versions and someone does not actually have this IP address to advertise, this includes past versions and potential future versions within reason, as well as misspellings of these versions.
Examples
join my server plz at 127.0.0.1
my server is at 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
pedguin.com
penguingames.fun
guys join my Minecraft server 224.0.1.1
best stuff at website freevirus.com
Allowed, as it is a Terraria version:
Are you on 1.4.3.2?
Allowed, as it is supposed to be a version:
Did you update to 1.4.3.20?
Not allowed, under the possibility that someone has this IP
Join my server at IP 1.2.1.1!
#11 Filters
Subverting any filters put in place (such as anti-advertising, anti-spam) will lead to a ban. Getting around a filter means you received the automated warning and ignored it on purpose, breaking the rules knowingly.
Examples
HEY EVERYONE asdsdsd
THE GRASS IS GREEN capscapscapscaps
THE GRASS IS RED sorry for caps
join my server at 127 dot 0 dot 0 dot 1
Section 2 - Griefing
#1 Griefing
Griefing is the removal/addition of blocks to another player’s structure without their permission to do so. Griefing is punishable by no other than a ban and will not expire. Protection is irrelevant in all cases of grief. It is only there to avoid having others break this rule.
#2 Mass Grief
Any player that Mass Grief’s, therefore, destroying multiple structures while still having the ability to create an unban app will need a very good reason to be unbanned.
#3 Small Griefing
Any Griefing as small as 0-15 blocks, collectively including all grief found, is not bannable, but the player will be warned.
#4 World Grief
Builders that place/destroy blocks randomly around the world are griefing the world. This deconstructs the environment and destroys normal terrain. Players that do this will share the same consequences as actual griefing.
Section 3 - PvP
#1 Commands
Using commands that were not given with the intent to be used in PvP, such as “/buildmode”, are disallowed from use in PvP and said accounts might have their groups changed to avoid future abuse of said command. This includes but is not limited to blocking the function after equipping the related command(s).
PvP allowed commands:
- /buff, /permabuff - you may not buff yourself with any buffs that you cannot obtain through potions
- /heal - only on yourself. After use, you may not enter PvP until after 30 seconds. This is strict. If you do not want to have to count, do not use the command with any intentions to PvP
- /tp - only when the person you are teleporting to is not inside the PvP arena
- /warp and related
- /i - except when used for “heart”
#4 Teaming
PvP is, by default, a free-for-all. If you wish to team up with one or more players, everyone online must agree to it, not just the player(s) you want to team with.
#5 PvP-Logging
Leaving and rejoining PvP with the sole intention of avoiding damage or death is disallowed. We expect users to exhibit a level of decency and respect. Leaving the dimension or server multiple times to avoid death, only to rejoin and continue PvPing, is unsportsmanlike and unneeded. Users who are PvP-logging will receive up to 2 warnings before being banned.
Section 4 - PvE
#1 Commands
Most commands are allowed in PvE. With exceptions:
- /buff, /permabuff - you cannot buff yourself with the following:
Rapid Healing
Dryad’s Blessing
Any of the Nebullas and their tier
Cerebral Mindtrick
Life Drain
Holy Protection
Feral Bite
Werewolf
#2 Ownership
You cannot tell people to go away or stay out of an area where bosses are spawned.
Section 5 - Hacking/Exploits
#1 Hacked Clients [or Modified Clients]
All types of modified clients that deviate gameplay functionally in any way from the original Terraria client are forbidden; this also includes using 3rd party programs, such as Inventory Editors, to modify your character to possess impossibilities. However, texture packs are exempt.
Players violating this rule will be banned.
#2 Exploits
An exploit is unintended behaviour of the game that can be done without using third-party modifications (as that would be considered violation of S5#1). This also includes unintended behaviour of the server. The use of exploits is forbidden and punishable by a ban. It will be up to the discretion of staff to provide a warning instead, where an exploit has a minor impact.
Exceptions to this rule are:
- Hoiks
Why is ‘x’ Banned?
This section explains bans on items that may seem odd. Items such as bombs are not included here as the reason is obvious.
Item: Christmas Hook
Reason: Creates light that can cause severe client lag
Section 6 - Building
#1 Buildings related to Racism, Religious, Sexual or other topics
Buildings that reference or otherwise are related to racism will be removed without warning.
If the player would be banned if the same idea was conveyed in chat, then they should be banned when conveying it via building. Otherwise, further actions, such as revoking building rights, may occur if the builder does not show reluctance to stop.
#3 Buildings related to Advertising
Buildings that Advertise or otherwise contain content that could be counted as Advertising will be deleted, and the player will be banned.
Section 7 - Accounts
#1 Multiple Accounts
Multiple Accounts are forbidden. You are only permitted one account per person. Our experience only facilitates a person having a single account. Duplicate accounts will be deleted, and violation of this rule after a warning will result in a Ban. The player does not get to choose which account is considered the primary account.
#2 Other people using your Account (Who were permitted)
Accounts are one per person. An account may be temporarily or permanently suspended if it exhibits abnormal usage patterns.
#3 Other people using your Account (Who were not permitted)
If someone is using your account without your permission, notify an Admin and change your password via (/password).
#4 Removing Accounts
Your account will not be deleted or removed, even upon request, unless it is deemed necessary by Staff.
Section 8 - The Trading System
#1 Boosting and Exploits
Using more than one client at a time on the server, intentionally letting someone kill you multiple times and other forms of boosting are forbidden. This also includes the use of exploits to gain items and DP and XP. Depending on the severity, the player might:
- be warned
- have their XP/DP or equivalent adjusted
- have their trading system account suspended
- be banned
#3 Abuse of commands
Abuse of any commands or permissions obtained through the Trading System may result in your account being permanently downgraded to a normal member account, thus preventing you from using permissions and chat customisation provided by the Trading System.
Section 9 - GameModes
#2 Matches
If you are a spectator of a mode where applicable, you should not take any action which interferes with the match and its participants. If you do so, you will be warned, kicked, and can be banned.
#4 AFK
Do not AFK during a lobby unless the people you are playing with are ok with it. If you are found being AFK in random lobbies or where the users there do not accept your behaviour, you will be kicked and may be banned if you keep doing it.
#5 Commands
The following restrictions are in place for commands in GameModes:
N/A - this rule will be updated if commands are added that have restrictions
Section 10 - Survival
#1 Scamming
Scamming other users is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to, tricking players into giving you items, deceiving players in trades, and lying to other players to gain an advantage. If you break this rule, then you will be warned, kicked, and possibly banned.
If you drop an item and someone else picks it up unintentionally and does not give it back, this is not scamming. You are expected to take precautions such as not trading near other players and turning on teleport protection. However, if someone is trying any items you drop intended for a purpose such as trading then this can be seen as a violation of S0#4.
#2 Commands
The following restrictions are in place for commands on survival:
N/A - this rule will be updated if commands are added that have restrictions
#3 Item Drops
Taking or receiving items from players that used hacks/modifications/exploits to obtain said items, regardless of whether you use those items, is equivalent to using a Modified Client to spawn them in. Refer to S5#1.
#4 Statues and Wiring
Statue spawns and wiring contraptions on a timer or otherwise must be appropriately controlled and not unattended. If mobs spawned from a statue leave their spawn area or a timer is left unattended, staff can remove all wiring, statues and timers of the problem structure. Repeated offences after a warning is bannable.
Limitations on the functionality of statues are currently in place, but if such functionality is ever restored this rule will apply still.
#7 Bosses
The spawn area is not to be used for boss fights. Doing so may interfere with other players not interesting in fighting the boss.
#8 Ownership
An area claimed as a house using the /house command is owned by that player. However, only the tiles and contents of containers are considered claimed. The mobs and item drops in that area are not, and people cannot tell others to refrain from taking item drops or killing mobs in their house.
Areas outside of those claimed as a house are owned by the server. The tiles, mobs, contents of containers and item drops can be taken by anyone, and no one can claim that they own the structure, terrain, mobs, contents of containers or item drops and/or otherwise tell others that they should not use any of these things.
This means that any and all farms built are for communal use. If you believe that there should be consideration for private/exclusive farms then you should make a proposal but refrain from violating this rule in the meantime.
A warning will be given to those that violate this rule. If they continue, then they may be banned.
Sidenote: Even without having ownership, there is still a possible violating case where a player (A) would be violating S0#4 if they follow another player (B), where A follows B to try to take item drops or contents of a container encountered by B, kill B with traps or liquids, destroy structures built by B or otherwise ruin B’s experience.
Thank you Rofl.
