Hello SkyBlockers,
Recently I have been looking around the Appeals and I was shocked. People didn't know scamming someone was illegal or t grief him. I decided to create this thread since a lot of people don't know where to read the rules at.
You can read the rules in-game by typing in chat /rules. After you type it you will get a hole list of rules you should read before started playing. To see all the illegal things in-game you can go to /warp illegal , /warp illegals or /warp rules ( All those warps lead you to same place ). At those warps you can fine all rules and illegal trades. If you don't want to do that and you want to read them here. I will put all rules here:
In-Game Rules:
Rule 1: No griefing!
Offence Level: High
With the recent installation of island protection, only you and your coop members are able to break and place blocks on your island. Your assigned space is 49 blocks in each direction from your bedrock, and vertically from ceiling to void. Being in a coop together means that the owner and members have mutual trust towards each other, and implies permission to build and destroy. If you join a coop and it is obvious that you are only being destructive without any intention to cooperate with your team members, you can get banned! That being said,do NOT invite anyone to your island that you don't trust. Lock your chests if you do not want your coop partners accessing them.In most cases if coop members accuse each other of stealing or griefing, they will be asked to work it out among themselves. Only in extreme cases will a coop member be banned for griefing their own island. An example of this would be if someone joins a coop just to destroy everything, then joins another coop and destroys everything.... multiple times.


Rule 2: No scamming/stealing
Offence Level: High
No one likes to be a victim of scams. Not familiar with scamming either? Scamming is basically stealing. Scams can be from 1 wheat lost all the way up to a dragon egg, and are defined as promising to trade x item for y item, but not giving the item you promised after taking the item they offered. When you donate, you pay money and you can take it back, this is considered a form of scam called chargebacks. You scammed the server to give you the donor rank. The only way to get unbanned from chargebacks is to pay back and have the busy NoobCrew verify it.
On .Org if you are to warp to another person's island and afk in their spawners/farm it is considered stealing.

How it can be legal...
In the event of a server restart, scams may be excusable.
It can be legal if you guys agreed to a 'bad' trade and you both agreed on it (and both of you got paid). If you agreed to like 1 spawner for 1 dragon egg (bad deal XD), and both of you pay, it is legal and the former owner of the dragon egg can only rage since he agreed to the deal.


Rule 3: No advertising
Offence Level: Very High
These are the hardest bans in the book to get unbanned from. You are not allowed to advertise servers that are not owned by Noobcrew. If you say something like "Ok, that IP you wanted was 1234NotARealIP" to your friend who asked for it, and message (/msg) it. If you say something like "Join this epic server! It's IP is 1234NotARealIP", that can get you banned, and it is hard as heck to get unbanned from it. Mods can also monitor your /msg's, so they can know if you are spamming people or got asked for the IP.

How it can be legal...
I basically already said it, and it is to /msg your friend the IP after he asks for it. You can not tell random people it without them asking.

Rule 4: No Killing Others (In non-pvp zones)
Offence Level: High
Very self explanatory, no killing others. Wonder how people can try to kill others? It can be attempted by lava, drawing mobs to them, or the old fashion fall damage. It is normally done to steal items. It is also pretty hard to get unbanned from this since it is an intentional thing.

It is never legal to kill others, but they're free to kill themselves.

Rule 5: Do not disrespect others (or server)/swear
Offence Level: Depends
No one likes disrespect, and few people tolerate it. This server is played by people between 5 and 50, and we do not want young kids seeing and using swears, 4th grade is low enough! Think I am crazy about this? A number of players (case in point was Gigantic_Man) are banned for disrespecting. Kids get banned almost every day for server hate as well.

How it can be legal...
If it is a one time thing and is an accident, it is ok, maybe just a kick.
Server hate is never legal.

Rule 6: Do not spam or caplock
Offence Level: Low
Spam and caps locking is not aloud here, look at other servers where you can do that if you want to. Think spam is a canned meat? Nope, it is an acronym. What does it mean? It meansStupidPointlessAnnoyingMessages. Pwnfilter is in place for spamming. If you do the exact same message, Pwnfilter will warn you and make it so the spam is not posted. If you get the message passed Pwnfilter and do it more than twice, and have a fast rate, you will be kicked or even banned. Fake messaging is also illegal.

If you use caps lock without using a no cap, you get a warning from Pwnfilter. If you do it and pwnfilter does not stop you, mods may kick you for excessive amounts of capital letters.

How it can be legal...
If you spam at a low rate AND it involves an auction, you are allowed to do it. A good rate is the message once a minute.

Rule 7: Do not island farm
Offence Level: High
This rule is rarely ever broken. What is this rule you may ask? It is you are not allowed to make an island, sell/give away the legal items (see rule 7), then make another island, then repeat the process again and again. Why have it illegal? Well, it is a way for a person to get lots of wood, ice, and lava. No one likes illegitimately obtained items.

Another variety of island farming, that's rarely broken is the commerce of islands. This could be new islands you've just simply created to sell, or islands that you have worked hard on and decided you would like to get some items from. Island selling is illegal in all circumstances.

No way to be legal, ever.

Rule 8: Do not trade or give illegal-to-trade items
Offence Level: Medium
The server has lots of illegal items that can't be traded. The list is pretty big, so it can be over whelming. It is best to message a mod or donor if you are unsure if an item is illegal. This is the list and why. (This list is for .net, it is different per server)

1. Dirt (Starter item, you can vote for grass blocks (turns to dirt))
2. Sand based items [Sand, Sandstone, Smooth Sandstone, Chiseled Sandstone, Stairs Sandstone, TNT] (Starter item, donate to get a kit to get more on Survival, buy from /warp shop on Economy)[All glass products legal to trade on Survival][Stained Glass, Stained Glass Panes, and Glass Bottles are allowed on Economy]
3. Silverfish Spawn Eggs (Can be used to grief without creating logs) [Survival Only]
4. Steve and Wither Skull Heads (Never released & Withers) [Survival Only]
5. Buckets [All Types] (Starter item, get more by getting iron)
6. Sponge (Creative only) [Survival Only]
7. Bedrock (Creative only) [Survival Only]
8. Podzol (Not sold by traders, on starter islands sometimes due to glitches)

Rule 9: Do not own illegal-to-own items
Offence Level: High
This server has a lot of items you can not trade, but there is not a lot for the owning. Here is the list:

1. Ores [Coal ore, Iron ore, Gold ore, Emerald ore, Diamond ore, Redstone ore, Lapis Lazuli ore, Nether Quartz ore] (No way to obtain them)
2. Overmax Enchant Items [Any enchant over the maximum vanilla enchant is an illegal item, example, GoD books, a bow with Punch over 2, a sword with Looting over 3)
3. Duped/Glitch Items [Any items from a duplication method/glitch in a plugin (echo pets) are illegal and will be confiscated]
4. Staff Heads [Excluding Cyp, Crew and, JeffCiv][Survival Only]

Rule 10: Do not /nick abuse
Offence Level: Depends
It is a commonly broken rule. You are not allowed to misuse /nick. Abuse /nick is making a nickname that is something totally different. Lets say a person named JohnIsBoss123 did /nick TrueMU. TrueMU/Minecraft Universe is a famous person, and John would get banned. A few mods do allow some (Ex: Chocospider is TromboneHD), but not others (even with my villager skin, Taylor1211 does not allow me to have /nick VillagerNumber5).

UngodAlmight says that they ONLY result in temporary bans UNLESS you do /nick abuse on a mod. If you do it on Herobrine, Youtubers, or oh say Barrack Obama, you will only be temporary banned.

Rule 11: Hacked Clients are Allowed
Offence Level: Very High
Using illegal hacks will result in a temporary ban.

Rule 12: Mods are Allowed
Offence Level: None (Can't break it)
Most servers do not even say they are illegal or legal. You can assume that all servers have them legal. This question has came up a few times here and there. Here are mod types that are allowed:
-Mods that add blocks (Like Buildcraft, Industrial Craft 2, etc) [They are useless, and crash your client if you try to get them in creative mode in multiplayer.
-Mods that improve rendering (Like shaders, Optifine, Animated Player, etc) [They are client only and do not do anything to the sever.]
-Mods that allow access to all items (Like Too Many Items and Not Enough Items) [They can't change your gamemode or summon items in multiplayer]

Mods that arenot allowed:
-See rule 11.

Rule 13: Don't use Inappropriate Skins, Names or Builds
Offence Level: Medium
You can't have an inappropriate skin/name or build inappropriate things! What qualifies as inappropriate? If it is a naked/pornographic skin or offensive against a religion/race. The exception to the rules are babies in diapers and the classic noob skin. (Also, the occasional "Notch in a Swim Suit" is 100% legal, and it's funny.) You also CANNOT have an inappropriate name. This means no swear words and no sexual innuendos, also meaning don't have names that you wouldn't get in trouble saying to your parents.

How it can be legal...
Skins can be legal if you use your skin and DO NOT EXIT your island. Even if you wear full leather armor, it is still illegal. As long as no one sees your skin and no one has the ability to see it, it should be fine. Builds of inappropriate nature are the same as the last line, it's okay only if no one sees it and no one can see it, DOES NOT include pornographic builds (they're always illegal).


Rule 14: The Mods can ONLY Ban with a Reason
Offence Level: High
The mods can only ban with a specific reason, not because they felt like it. A mod can get demoted if they break this rule! There is about a .001% that they can mess up, but it is very rare, and it is usually accidental (ex: Logs record wrong person). The excuse of a friend doing the thing to get you banned or your account being hacked (rare to start) does NOT qualify for this. Your account is your responsibility, and the mods CLEARLY say it in the guide to a good ban appeal. They always need a reason to ban!


Rule 15: Use Common Sense
Offence Level: Variable
There are a number of things that fall under this rule. If it's illegal in the real world (country/international laws, breaking Mojang ToS/EULA) then it falls under this rule. If you think that it may be wrong, but it doesn't quite fall under any of the other rules, it may qualify here.

Examples:
Threatening DDoS/DoS/DoX attacks on players/server. Ban evading using alternate accounts. Hacking players accounts. Attempting to sell in game items/accounts (or currency for .org) for out of game currency (of any kind). Attempting to contact young children for nefarious reasons (pedophilia).


Before I list all Forum rules. I want to tell you that some hacks are allowed at certain places. To see all legal hacks you can use click here. The '''here'' button will sent you to other thread created by Krissy which thread list all legal hacks.


Those are all the things you should know. This thread is created for helping purposes and will be locked. If you have any questions about anything you can always private message me or Moderators (T-Mod,Mod,Super Mod). To find list of all Staff team click here. You can also find full list of the staff team in-game by going to warp StaffList (/warp StaffList).
