The Rinaorc rules

These rules set out the standards of conduct and the responsibilities that apply to the whole Rinaorc community.

These rules are considered read and accepted from a player’s first connection. Any update is considered accepted as soon as it takes effect.

These rules apply on every Rinaorc platform (Minecraft server, Discord, TeamSpeak, website, forums, etc.).

The Rinaorc administration may change these rules at any time.

If the player is a minor, the holders of parental authority are responsible for making sure these rules are followed, and are legally required to supervise how the child uses Rinaorc’s services.

Some game modes have their own rules, shown in game. These additional rules carry the same weight as these general rules.

Rinaorc is first and foremost a community. Mutual respect is the core value that keeps the experience good for everyone.

Every member of the community must be respectful toward other players, moderators and administrators.

The following are strictly forbidden and severely sanctioned:

• Insulting, defamatory, hateful, threatening or sexist messages
• Violent, sexual, discriminatory, xenophobic, racist or homophobic behaviour
• Harassing or deliberately provoking other players
• Sharing personal information (IP address, home address, photos, etc.)
• Threats against the server or its members (e.g. DDoS)
• Impersonating a player or a staff member

The moderation team may stop a conversation that becomes inappropriate. Political and religious debates are strictly forbidden.

Excessive capital letters, spam and flooding are forbidden, as they disrupt other players.

Please take care with your spelling. The Rinaorc team may decline to answer requests that cannot be understood.

False reports are forbidden and may lead to sanctions against the player who made them.

Rinaorc is a French server, so French law applies to all activity on the server.

Advertising other game servers is strictly forbidden, in any form.

Promoting YouTube, TikTok, Twitch or similar channels is allowed, without links and without spam.

Players with the Partner rank may share their links without abuse, as long as they follow the other rules.

Advertising personal social media accounts (Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) is forbidden.

You may not create or use several accounts to:

• Collect extra benefits (votes, /pay and /trade commands)
• Get around a sanction

Using a third party to make a transfer between two accounts you own is forbidden.

Lending your account is tolerated as long as articles 4.1 and 4.2 are respected.

Using a VPN or proxy for malicious purposes, in particular to get around a sanction, is forbidden.

You are fully responsible for the security of your accounts (Minecraft, Discord, etc.). If someone accesses them without your permission, you remain responsible for what is done with them.

Rinaorc cannot be held liable for any moral or material damage caused by a hacked account, nor for any loss of items or in-game progress.

Trading or selling accounts is strictly forbidden.

Game sabotage

• Any action meant to stop a game from running properly counts as game sabotage and will be sanctioned.

• The rules on game sabotage do not apply in games run by a player (host) who has the permissions to set their own rules.

Land and builds

• On game modes with a claim system, you may not claim land near another player’s territory to spoil the surroundings or push them to leave.

• Builds must remain decent.

Trading

• Scamming a player in any way is forbidden.

• Selling in-game items for real money is forbidden.

• Some games have a /trade command to secure your trades. In those games, scams are not handled by the moderation team.

• Trading in-game items for store purchases is allowed, but these trades are not supervised by the moderation team.

• Any item renamed inappropriately or to mislead a player will be deleted.

Bugs and exploits

• Exploiting bugs, glitches or duplication is strictly forbidden.

• Bugs must be reported to an admin on Discord.

• Items lost because of a bug or your own mistake will not be refunded.

AFK and automation

• Using an anti-AFK system that earns you an unfair income will be severely sanctioned.

• Macros are tolerated within these limits:

  • Auto-clickers, only for farming stationary mobs
  • Mods built into a Minecraft launcher (e.g. AutoText)
  • Commands bound to mouse or keyboard buttons
  • /sell all macros, without any extra external software

Client modifications

• Modifications that give you an unfair advantage over other players are forbidden.

• Any change to the way your client sends data to the server is strictly forbidden.

• Allowed modifications:

  • Performance improvements (e.g. OptiFine for FPS)
  • Visual changes (e.g. shaders)
  • Armour and potion effects shown on the HUD
  • Brightness/gamma adjustment

Schematica

• The Schematica mod is tolerated only for building structures or farms.

• In PvP games, it must not be used to:

  • Build a bridge
  • Build a base’s defences

On TeamSpeak (ts.rinaorc.com), your nickname must match your Minecraft username.

If you change your nickname, change it on every platform linked to Rinaorc.

All the rules of conduct also apply on TeamSpeak, Discord and every other service Rinaorc provides.

The Discord rules are available on the Discord server itself, in the #règlement category.

The moderation team may sanction a player at any time, without prior warning, for any action that harms the proper running of the server.

The sanctions that may be applied are:

• Warning
• Temporary or permanent mute
• Kick
• Temporary ban
• Permanent ban
• Partial or full reset of the player’s data

Any breach of these rules may be sanctioned without prior warning.

If you disagree with a sanction, you can ask the administration team for a review on the official Discord. Keep in mind that the final decision is theirs.
