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 |
