  19. Both the offensive language and offensive spray rules include pro-war exclamations or expressing a positive attitude towards terrorists, dictators or otherwise controversial figures.

  61.  
  62. 4) Server-specific rules:
  63.  
  64. The following servers have rules specific to only that server, in addition to the aforesaid rules.
  65.  
  66. #1 - DM_Duel:
  67.  
  68. • No rocket- or grenade spamming.
  69. This means standing next to a resupply locker and continuously shooting rockets (or grenades). This includes a repeated action of moving away from the locker to empty your clip and then coming back without having to reload let’s say more than one or two projectiles.
  70.  
  71. • No Sniper camping near a supply locker.
  72.  
  73. • No close quarter sticky traps.
  74. This is defined as putting a sticky trap above or under a window or right around a corner in a hallway where they are too hard to see and counter to be deemed fair in a small map with little options like this one. You are allowed however to close quater stickytrap when your team is getting heavily spawncamped
  75.  
  76. • No Sniper shielding in spawn
  77. This is defined as overhealing snipers inside of the spawn area.Healing is allowed e.g. Sandvich, Crossbow... It should also be noted that asking for this treatment from another medic player is forbidden.
  78.  
  79.  
  80. #4 , #19, #29 & USA – Dodgeball:
  81.  
  82. • No stealing or attempting to steal / intercept rockets.
  83. Only attempt to airblast the rocket after hearing the sentry activation noise, unless you absolutely have to save yourself from dying. This does not include standing still and airblasting when the rocket comes close or moving toward the rocket and then airblasting.
  84.  
  85. Examples of Stealing:
  86.  
  87. 1. Going after and attempting to airblast every rocket even without having heard the sentry alert.
  88. 2. Reflecting the rocket in spite of being able to avoid it.
  89. 3. Positioning yourself badly and then repeatedly stealing the rocket when it comes toward you instead of moving.
  90.  
  91. Exceptions to this rule are:
  92.  
  93. 1. It is allowed to "wall" (statue as a group).
  94. 2. It is allowed to protect AFK teammates or teammates otherwise limited in their ability to play due to RTD or similar cause.
  95. 3. Nukes are exempt from this rule and may be stolen at all times.
  96.  
  97. Additionally, going over to the enemy's side ("crossing") is a risk you choose to take. If you do not leave enough space for your enemy and they are forced to steal, it’s not their fault; it’s yours. When an enemy crosses to your side, keep in mind that this is not forbidden in itself and is something you have to accommodate for.
  98.  
  99. • No blocking; leave space for others.
  100. What is considered as blocking includes:
  101.  
  102. 1. Getting close to an enemy and immediately returning their rocket when it's not yours.
  103. 2. Not giving other players enough space to handle the rocket.
  104. 3. Hindering enemies' movement.
  105.  
  106. It is allowed to bodyblock players who can't airblast the rocket and have been orbiting for too long. Examples of this include players who rolled "Stripped to Melee" in RTD and had their weapon removed.
  107.  
  108. • No orbiting for too long
  109. It is generally not allowed to delay for longer than a few seconds. An exception to this is getting into position for a circle or similar at the end of a round within reasonable time.
  110.  
  111. • No teamkilling
  112. This is included in our general "no griefing" rule but is added here to make it absolutely clear.
  113. Examples of teamkilling:
  114.  
  115. 1. Suicide when the rocket is locked onto you, causing it to change targets without notice.
  116. 2. Intentionally causing your rocket to hit your teammates instead of you. This includes orbiting the rocket into them and positioning yourself behind teammates in a way that puts them at risk of death caused by your rocket.
  117.  
  118. • No exploiting / abusing map features
  119. This is already covered by our general ruleset §3b (Exploiting).
  120.  
  121. It is not allowed to position yourself in ways that cause delay / otherwise obstruct gameplay.
  122.  
  123. It is not allowed to abuse ledges or similar map features by airblasting the rocket into them (only applies to #4, #19 and #29).

  140. If you want to party or be friendly, do it where the enemy team has the leisure of either joining in or killing you.

  143. #9 & #22 – Deathrun:
  144.  
  145. • No delaying the round.

  160. Camping at the same place for too long, only going around to reset your grace period and simply waiting for your team to collect every page, gas can, cable etc. is forbidden. If you refuse to help your team, hoping for an easy win, then you're not helpful nor useful for the team.
  161.  
  162. • Blocking access to PvP zone
  163. Hindering players from joining pvp zone is forbidden. Stickytrapping the doors and spawncamping teammates is considered as such too.
  164.  
  165. • Spawncamping
  166. That means BLU and RED shouldn't spawncamp enemy team. Adding this rule with example just to make it absolutely clear that it's forbidden. (Killing your teammates at the beginning, before rounds starting is allowed. It's supposed to be like this.)
  167.  
  168. Examples:
  169. The example of spawncamping would be building sentrygun inside the pvp zone which can attack RED players who haven't entered the zone or right after they enter, not being able to defend themselves.
  170.  
  171. The same example refers to building sentrygun in a place where REDs spawns right into pvp zone after escaping (for example on noexit map).
  172.  
  173. • Containment Breach map rules -
  174. These rules apply on Containment Breach map only.
  175.

  178. 2. Closing doors on purpose when someone is going through them is forbidden. (It's easy to kill players like that.)
  179.  
  180. 3. PvP doors on BLU are meant to be open all the time, don't close them. Shooting rockets, grenades, stickies and any other weapons that have blast radius near the doors counts as closing them, obviously.

  194.  
  195. #17 – Jailbreak:
  196.  
  197. The rules for this mod are many and complex. Therefore they have their own thread, found here: https://www.panda-community.com/threads/jailbreak-gamemode-rules.11901/

  200. #21 – Prophunt:
