BigD Guidelines

When playing on BigD servers, you have agreed to follow the rules set out on the BigD website. We expect all players to stick to a general set of basic decency guidelines.

Teamwork, Maturity and Fair play have been the foundations of BigD since the start. This Code of Conduct is based around those Principals. 

1. Advertising in any form for clans, communities, websites, or any other individual/group is forbidden without the approval of a Community Manager.

2. Any discussion of bans, kicks or warnings are not to be discussed in-game, in public spaces or by private message to admins/moderators. We encourage users to open a ticket in Discord or via our website in order to resolve all grievances.

3. Impersonation of any BigD Admins, Managers, Moderators, Clan Members, or other affiliated individuals and groups is forbidden.

4. Gamertags must not have profanity, racism, slander or any words/phrases that may be seen as offensive. This includes abbreviations and replacing letters of an offensive word with symbols/numerals.

5. Excessive/targeted profanity in voip and text chat is not allowed. 

6. Griefing, Spamming, Exploiting, Cheating, Racism, Sexism, Doxing, Hate Speech and Harassment are not tolerated on our servers.

7. Do not spam the !admin ping, if you do need to ping an admin, ensure you also include the reason within your !admin ping.

8. When streaming any BigD hosted games, it is recommended that you run a map overlay or delay.

   1. Stream sniping is considered an exploit of the game and will be punished as such.

9. BigD is an inclusive place to everyone all over the world, from different origins, backgrounds, religions, ideologies and orientations, so at all times, players are expected to act with integrity and treat each other with respect. This is just a game and we encourage teamwork, communication, to play fair, encourage each other, help balance servers when needed, teach new players and to just have fun with it.

10. Intentional team killing is not tolerated. Accidents can happen, so ensure you apologize in all chat.

11. No Meta Gaming: This is when a player is using outside knowledge, tactics or exploits in order to gain an unfair advantage over other players and/or the game itself. e.g stream sniping, screen sharing or gaining knowledge from the opposite team.

12. If situations arise that cannot be resolved by the written rules or grey areas arise, admins reserve the right to make decisions in order to protect server health and player experience.

BigD servers are a place where all players can come to game, let out steam, relax, have fun and compete, without the fear of harassment or being in a toxic online environment. 
This code of conduct is supported by the Anti-Harassment Guideline; Discord Guidelines and Individual Game Server Rules.
