Building/Community/Chat Guidelines

Notice: We are not a hardcore RP server; You don't have to ask things like "Dear Lord of Some-Town, may I become a Knight?". We just have simple creativity laws.

1. No flying fortresses; Any flying building MUST be supported and look reasonable, or have a reasonable reason for floating. (Propellers, ballons, ect.)
2. Absolutely NO blinking red-stone lights or red-stone circuits that compute without player interaction. (Clocks are not allowed)
3. No one block wide towers; These are considered grief and therefore punishable.
4. Make a road; Popular areas should be linked to roads.
5. Make your buildings look reasonable. We're looking for more medieval age constructions than 21st century buildings.
6. If you are going to build near someones construction or wall (50 blocks), ask permission, you may be forced to tear down yours if you don't.
7. All large buildings/communities (200*200 blocks) must be built at least 500 blocks away from spawn. Also, try to avoid potential future border conflicts with neighboring towns/communities. (See Rule 6.)
8. Private communities may be fenced in and have a gate where information and special community rules/news can be found.
9.Entering a walled/fenced/marked area without permission from the owner of the land is not allowed; unless specified otherwise by a sign clearly stating visitors are welcome.
10.Do NOT swear exesivly. No "QQ-ing". Also don't mention inappropriate words/websites in chat. This could follow in a ban or mute.
11.If your having a private conversation with another person please go into PM (Private message)--The new chat is /m name message. THIS IS NOT PERSISTANT! To respond quickly, type /r message. To have a persistant PM type /pm name message. Type /pm again to go back to regular chat.
12.Do NOT randomly put locked chests on land. This is considered greifing and will result in a ban.
13.Do NOT greif the forums or the wiki (putting false information on the wiki)
14.Do NOT build within 200 blocks from spawn without Mod/Admin permission first!

Minecart Rules/Guidelines

1. Friction boosters are NOT allowed; a mine-cart propelled by another mine-cart.
2. Try to keep mine-cart track and station designs simple, it deteriorates performance of the server.
3. Only use mine-carts at stations, do not "randomly" place a mine-cart and continue down a track.
4. Do not exit or warp out of a moving mine-cart; these will clog the tracks.
5. Do not spam mine-cart station buttons, always wait 30+ seconds before pressing the button again.
6.Do not connect to any tracks or stations on the main subway grid. Each station will have specific rules.

Nether World Rules/Guidelines
All General rules apply in addition to these addictions and subtractions:
- No penis towers to glowstone. All blocks must be cleaned up.
- No pushing each other off of areas. No Lava griefing. No Dragging mobs to other players.
- No digging from the subway stations into the nether.
- Try to make any "roads" from nether island to island look reasonable.

Trade Rules/Guidelines
1. Only ONE plot per person. Payment for plots MUST be made with the account that is buying the plot.
2. You may NOT resell, rent or give away plots. Plots belong to the account owner, not to the person who payed for it. If a plot is not wanted anymore, the account is unused for 2 months or the account is perm-banned, the government reserves the right to reclaim the plot.
3. Do not use trade for anything other then trading. This means you may trade using the automated sign system with chests or the old fashion way with dirt on top of the chest. Casino's, Rollercoasters, Zoo's, etc are not allowed.
4. Trade plots have a limit of 50 signs. Try to use as few signs as possible to reduce lag for players.
5. Neighbouring plots may join together. If the plot owners of an island wish to (as a collective), they may modify the island (theme it), but they may not go outside of its borders horizontally nor go below it. A road (although modifiable) to each of the 4 cardinal directions must remain on the island.
6. Unless you intend to merge shops together do not exceed you 16x16 lot with anything. No advertising or any other modification to trade is allowed (outside of your plot) unless approved by an agent or moderator.
7. Payment for plots may be made in diamonds, iron blocks, sandstone, or stone slabs.
8. Inspections of trade plots may be conducted by agents and moderators to make sure that rules are being upheld.

Redstone, Dispensers, Pistons Rules/Guidelines
1. Do Not create infinite loops.
2. Do Not create pulsars.
3. Do Not create clocks.
4. Do Not create rapid fire dispensers.
5 4. Do Not create complex lava/water flowing piston controlled designs. Flow of 3-4 blocks is understandable but down a hill or flooding a whole room is unacceptable on Ropecraft.


---Extra---
For any and all information you are not sure about, private message a moderator, that'd be more than happy to help sort things out. They're there for a reason.

"It's better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake."
Also please note that things can change anytime. Plugins break or plugins get removed for many reasons. Please don't rage quit over silly things like this. We try our best to make everyone happy and to keep supporting Ropecraft.
