Official GR Teamspeak Rules

[Fallenpyro418 (Sparks)]

***DISCALIMER***

This document will entail all rules that should be followed on the Teamspeak. Rules are subject to change at the Head Teamspeak Admin's & Community Management’s Discretion. As a community member it is YOUR job to remain informed of the rules as they’re changed. And Remember GameRebels is a privately owned teamspeak server. Therefore, your "right" to free speech is limited. We do not tolerate personal attacks or harassment. Anyone caught doing so, will be warned if not banned.

General Global Rules (GGR)
​

1. If a specified server is in development/not playable or even just an idea approved, the staff rank of Staff Manager and below will not be given to any player due to the main fact of some players abusing their power to an invisible server. These potential staff also have no one to look over since their servers are not up and running so the will not be given any tags until server is OFFICIALLY ranked as open and playable.
2. All staff with ban powers below the rank of Community Supervisor are allowed to ban for a maximum of one hour with valid reason. To have someone banned for any time over specification, the situation MUST be brought to TS Staff or a Supervisor if the situation is in need of immediate resolution.
3. All moderation on the server should be left to Teamspeak staff. If none are present management are free to deal with it at their discretion. Supervisors may get involved if they feel the situation in need of immediate resolution.
4. Suggestive/stupid/racist names are NOT ALLOWED on the teamspeak under any circumstances.
5. Sexual / Pornographic related Content is not allowed on the teamspeak under any circumstances.
