Staff Guidelines

Here are the Deathrun Staff Guidelines, in which you will find guidelines to follow when one of the server rules are broken. It is good to read these, but remember if you have a question it is most likely better to ask a higher ranked staff member for help, as they can give you more information/how to act accordingly.

1. Do not joke about Ddos, it's not funny.
If a player jokes around about Ddos give them a very stern verbal warning, and tell them never to do it again. If a player threatens to Ddos a player or the server, it is an instant perma-ban.

2. Do not spam in any form, such as Mic, Chat or Admin Chat.
If a player is spamming through their microphone (playing music, making annoying noises) gag them instantly. If a player is spamming the chat, it is also an instant mute. Then if it is at the beginning of a map, unmute/ungag after about 3-4 rounds (mainly up to personal choice, how bad the spamming was). If someone spams the admin chat, it is a verbal warning then kick, unless, if it is just a minge copy and pasting, kick then ban (1 day).

3. Do not use exploits in the map or within the game, (e.g spawning weapons at the jump ending of Helix, or respawning your weapon after giving it to someone for the round.)
It can vary when it comes to exploiting. If someone is say, climbing a ledge that allows them to skip traps, verbally warn them and tell them to get off/down. If they continue slay them and then warn. If it carries on ban them for about 60 minutes.

4. Do not use any form of hacks. Including speed hacks.
If you catch a player using any form of hacks, it is an instant perma-ban.

5. Do not put links in chat unless authorized by a member of staff.
It can vary when it comes to links. If it is someone just sending a harmless link without asking, verbally warn them not to do it again. If it is a nsfw/virus link, mute them immediately. If they carry on after their mute is finished, kick them from the server. If they continue further, ban them for about a day.The same is said for advertising other servers/communities.

6. Do not be abusive/offensive towards staff or players.
Any racism, homophobic, etc. insults coming from a player should be dealt with immediately. First mute/gag them. If they continue ban them for anywhere between 1d-1w

7. Do not minge (troll).
It can vary in different types of situations. If someone is minging through chat or voice, mute/gag them immediately. Depending on the level of minging, bans can go from 1d-1w.

8. Do not be racist, sexist, or discriminative.
Same as rule 6. Any racism, sexism or discrimination of sorts, should be an instant mute/gag. If they continue ban them for about 1d-1w.

9. Do not go AFK for longer than 5 mins, and don't join then go AFK, tell staff when you are going AFK.
If a player goes AFK, and they do not come back after 5 minutes, warn them through awarn and kick them from the server.

11. Do not delay. This is achieved by staying back and making no progress during a round.
If a player is delaying, verbally warn them by telling them to stop. If they do not stop, slay them. If they continue to do it, kick them from the server.


12. Do not death avoid, in which you leave and rejoin when you are death, or simply go AFK.
If a player death avoids, warn them when they rejoin and tell them not to do it again. If they continue, ban them for 30 minutes.

13. Do not impersonate other players, either by changing your name or using a voice changer.
If a player begins impersonating another player (changing their name to another person's) verbally warn them to change it back. If they do not change it, kick them from the server. If they come back with the same name, ban them for 60 minutes.

14. Do not beg. You must play to earn things, and have to apply to become staff. You can ask for points occasionally.
If a player begs for points, verbally warn them and if they continue it is an instant mute/gag. If after the mute/gag they continue, kick them from the server.

15. Do not leave to avoid punishment. (LTAP)
If a player leaves to avoid punishment, grab their steam ID and ban them for 3 days.

16. Do not try to scam players.
If a player is trying to scam another player, ban them permanently.

17. Do not SWEP abuse. (This is achieved by hitting through barriers as a death or runner.)
This can vary depending on the situation. If someone SWEP abuses slay them instantly and verbally warn them if it looked like an accident. If it looks like they did it on purpose, use awarn to warn them. If a player kills many players through SWEP abuse, ban them for 3 days.

18. Do not reuse traps, or steal them if a death is already waiting to use it.
If a player trap steals, slay them instantly. If they continue, kick them from the server. If they continue even more, ban them for a day.

19. Do not use pornographic or offensive sprays, names, or text hats.
If a player is using an inappropriate spray/name/text hat give them a verbal warning to change it. If it has not changed within a couple of minutes, kick them with the reason “change inappropriate name/spray/text hat”. If they rejoin a continue to use it, proceed with a 1 day ban.

20. If you have any issues please contact staff through admin chat using @<message> or through steam if none are on the server.
If admin chat is being abused by players, give them a verbal warning. If they continue, kick them with the reason “Inappropriate use of Admin Chat”

21. Do not complain about warns, unless they are falsely given, then contact a higher member of staff.
If a player is complaining about false warns although the problem has been solved, give them a verbal warning, if they continue warn them using awarn with the reason “Arguing with staff”

22. Do not votemap for non deathrun maps.
If a player votes for non deathrun maps this is a warn using awarn

23. Do not spam songs in jukebox, or play the same song twice or more in 1 game.
If you notice a player spamming the same song from the jukebox more than once in a map, give them a verbal warning, if they continue, warn using awarn and for further punishments kick them.

24. Do not camp the other teams' teleport spawns in endings.
Anyone caught camping the opposing teams teleports should be given a verbal warning to move. If they do not move slay them and warn them using awarn. If they do it again in another round kick them for “failing to listen to staff/follow the rules”.

25. Do not use favoritism if playing with Friends.
This makes the game boring for the other players.
If you catch people using favoritism towards their friends and allowing them to pass traps verbally warn them. If they continue after being verbally warned then warn them using Awarn. If they then continue to go against orders kick them for the following "failing to follow the rules"
