Rules

These rules apply everywhere on FSI: on every server and in our Discord.

1. No advertising. Don't promote other servers, sites or channels unless staff have said yes first.
2. No insulting or humiliating others. Disagree all you like, but keep it about the topic, not the person.
3. No spam. That covers repeated messages, walls of caps or emoji, and flooding chat.
4. Don't obstruct staff. Let them do their job, and don't argue with a decision in public. If you think one was wrong, raise it in a ticket.
5. Report rule-breaking by ticket. Open a ticket in the #tickets channel on our Discord, with screenshots if you have them.
6. Don't take matters into your own hands. No revenge griefing, no call-outs and no mob justice. Report it and let staff deal with it.

Staff use common sense when applying these rules, so don't hunt for loopholes. If you're unsure whether something is allowed, ask a member of staff before you do it. Not knowing a rule is no defence.

1. Conduct

• Treat other players with respect. No harassment, threats, or hate of any kind, including about race, religion, gender, sexuality or disability.
• Banter is fine between friends who are both enjoying it. The moment someone wants it to stop, it stops; past that point it's harassment.

2. Cheating

• No hacked or modified clients that give you an unfair advantage.
• No X-ray, whether it's a mod, a texture pack or a glitch.
• No exploiting bugs. If you find one, report it to staff instead of using it.
• No duplicating items or blocks.
• No autoclickers or macros.

3. Griefing and stealing

• Don't break, change or take anything that isn't yours, claimed or not.
• That includes public farms and shared builds: take your share, then leave them as you found them.
• No raiding anyone's base unless they have given you permission in writing first, and keep that message.

4. PvP

• Only fight players who have agreed to fight you.
• No killing players who are building, exploring or AFK, and no trapping them.

5. Chat

• No spam.
• No advertising other servers.
• Use English in public chat so everyone, staff included, can follow along. Private messages can be in any language.
