Server Ranks

We currently have several different ranks on the Teamspeak and it’s important that anyone who visits the Teamspeak knows what each one is.

  • Guest - This is default rank users will be given when first
    joining the server. Guest permissions are very limited but they can
    still PM other users.
  • Approved Guest - This group can be given when member rank
    users want to bring known friends to the Teamspeak, however will
    still encourage approved guests to join us as members.
  • Members - Members are a part of the growing community, to
    become a member simply register on the forums and ask a member of
    staff for the rank (later on there will be an automated system).
  • Loyal - Loyal rank is only given to those who has been active
    in the community for over 1 year.
  • Staff - Any one of these icons being next to the right of any
    Teamspeak users name means that they are a staff member. They are the
    first people you should go to if you need help.

Teamspeak Rules

  • Don’t be a dick - It’s a simple rule but refer to this diagram if you’re having trouble. Don’t go about harassing other users or being threatening, racist, homophobic, etc.
  • Respect the privacy of other users - That means don’t share pictures of others or any of their personal information (emails, addresses, etc) without their permission.
  • Don’t Spam - This includes channel hopping, message spamming and advertising.
  • Don’t use profanity in your username or channel names - While we have no other rules limiting the use of profanity on the teamspeak, usernames must not contain it.
  • Profile images - Profile images must not contain content that is sexual, gory or otherwise disturbing.
  • Don’t post links to illegal content - Posting of links to, engaging in or uploading of any content that is illegal is strictly forbidden.
  • Don’t join channels just to troll or annoy - You should not join channels that you are not a regular of just for the purpose of trolling or disturbing those within it.
