Server Rules

Global Retake works best when everyone joins with the same basic expectations: play fair, do not ruin the match, and do not turn chat into targeted hate.

Fair Play Guidelines

  • Never cheat.
  • Never use scripts, macros, automation, or external tools that give you an advantage.
  • Do not grief, intentionally throw, sabotage teammates, or stall rounds on purpose.
  • Play to win and play the full match, especially in competitive modes.

Communication

  • No targeted harassment, doxxing, threats, or personal attacks.
  • Edgy or offensive language is not an automatic punishable offense by itself, but targeted hate toward minorities or protected groups is not welcome here.
  • No mic spam, soundboard abuse, chat flooding, or other behavior that makes the server unusable.
  • No advertising other servers, communities, or services in chat or voice.
  • Use readable names and do not impersonate staff.

Filters and Enforcement

We do not run the old auto-ban or auto-kick system anymore.

  • The current chat filter mainly blocks links and non-ASCII characters.
  • It does not hand out bans or kicks on its own.
  • Most rule enforcement is handled manually by staff when needed.
  • If something is clearly disruptive or clearly targeted hate, staff can still step in.

What Usually Gets Staff Involved

  • Cheating, exploits, or any external advantage.
  • Repeated griefing, throwing, trolling, or match sabotage.
  • Targeted hate against minorities or protected groups.
  • Spam, impersonation, or persistent server disruption.
  • Ignoring repeated staff instructions.

Punishment System

Moderation is manual and case-by-case. We usually look at context, severity, and whether the same thing keeps happening.

Offense Type Typical Response Escalation Worst Case Appealable?
Minor disruption Warning or mute Short ban if repeated Longer ban if it keeps going Yes
Griefing / match sabotage Warning or short ban Longer ban Permanent ban for repeated cases Case-by-case
Targeted hate / harassment Staff review Temporary or permanent ban Permanent ban for severe cases Case-by-case
Cheating / Exploits Permanent Ban - - No Appeal
