| SERVER POLICY |
| The Killing Zone's primary purpose is to provide a fun, fair-play environment for Half Life gamers. All players are expected to behave in a manner which promotes fair play and an enjoyable environment. To maintain this environment, certain policies will be enforced by the servers administrators ("admins"). Anyone who enters the server and plays on them agree to abide by the individual servers policies. |
| Administrators |
Admins are present to ensure that the gaming environment is fair and fun for the majority of players, and have full authority to decide both what constitutes a policy violation and how to deal with it. Nothing will result in disciplinary action faster than willfully ignoring the request of an admin.
Admins act as player-referees. When a situation arises that requires intervention, an admin will cease being concerned with his or her own game play and address the issue at hand. The The Killing Zone's admins take great care to avoid being overly restrictive or overbearing. If the following policy is adhered to in spirit, admins will never need to take an authoritative position in-game. |
| Cheating |
Cheating is defined as any act of exploiting software or hardware that gives a player or team an unfair advantage over their opponents. This includes wallhacks, aimbots, cvar modifications, OGC or other cheat mods, spectator coaching and anything else that violates the spirit of fair play. Evidence of cheating will result in an immediate, permanent ban from the server. Please notify the server admins if you suspect someone is cheating.
Additionally, admins have the ability to execute client-side commands in order to confirm the presence of a cheat or maintain an appropriate environment on the server. By using the server, players agree to any and all client-side command executions made by admin.
While the position against cheating cannot be emphasized strongly enough, we also hold to the idea that crying "cheat" without strong evidence adds chaos and disruption to the game. Please make sure you have a reasonable suspicion of cheating based on specific activity before you accuse someone of cheating (i.e. - getting owned by someone does not justify accusing them of cheating). |
| Use of Exploits |
Exploits involve capitalizing upon bugs or inconsistencies in the game code or map that creates an unintended consequence or unfair advantage. Use of any type exploit on the The Killing Zone server is strictly forbidden .

Using grenades of any kind to propel through entities not intended to be passed though (including, but not limited to: lasers, push entities, trigger_hurt entities).
Please note that the following ARE acceptable TFC exploits (though exploit may be a misnomer, as several of the following are by design): gliding, strafe jumping, conc and rocket jumping.

Some actions that are considered disruptive behavior are as follows: Use of inflammatory names, using obscene sprays, conducting repeated message spamming, using inappropriate player names and many others.
