Basic rules
Enforcement
To enforce these rules, shiven.net has an extensive staff of referees and administrators who take responsibility for ensuring a fair and balanced game. You can find more information about them on our staff page.
If you fail to comply to any of these rules, you can be muted, kicked or even banned from our server by these people. Banishments require an admin's consent.
You may appeal or complain for any punishment you received from the staff. But bare in mind: the admin is always right, even if you think he or she isn't.
Your rights
Spawn killing
Cheats
Aimbots, wallhacks or anything alike are strictly forbidden on our server. Do not try them here! If you are caught you are instantly banned and no longer welcome. We also strongly discourage anyone to cheat on any other online game server.
Teamplay
Intentionally hurting or obstructing team mates is not allowed. Inexperienced players are allowed but should at least have a basic idea of who his friends and foes are. If a staff member gets the feeling you are just laming around, you can be punished.
Fair Teams
We strongly encourage players to attempt to balance the teams as good as possible. The game is considered most fun when both teams are of the same strength. This directly prevents spawn camping or silly wins.
Let it be clear that staff members are always permitted to move players in order to even the teams by skill. If you object to a forced player movement, best go elsewhere. Note that balance by experience points or player amounts come second place for us.

Respect
Insulting the opposing team and having fun on their behalf is a part of the game. But racism, hate talk or other personally insulting online chat is not allowed. You will be ridiculed or removed otherwise. Using a racist or nazi nick name can get you kicked without warning. Stealing other's nick name is not allowed.
We also have a zero-tolerance policy for any insult of, or constant whinage about staff members, their behaviour or server settings. Make sure you formulate your complaints very carefully and respectfully.

Language
We offer gameplay to people from every nationality. So please use english language in global or team chat. If you must speak native tongue, do so in a fireteam (create using the numerical enter on your keypad) or send private messages by typing in console:
/m [player nick] [message]
Advertisements
Shiven works to limit the amount of ads and banners. Therefore we disallow any public adverts and recruiting messages of any kind. Spamming these kinds of messages can get you muted without warning.

Your rights
Spawn killing
Spawn killing is allowed on shiven.
However, it is possible we choose to disable spawn killing on certain spawns in certain maps.
See below for a detailed explanation. Should excessive spawn camping still occur, this will always be a result of unbalanced teams.
Selfkill
Albeit hard to self kill in battle during a gunfight on our server, you may use /kill whenever you want.
Objective
You are strongly encouraged to help your team to victory by doing the map's objective instead of going for personal glory! This means for example you may place as many mines as you want at all times. Infiltration missions may require you to wait behind enemy lines. Naturally, this is allowed and even encouraged as it keeps the defending team sharp.
Idle
You may idle in spectator mode as long as you want to. You will automatically be dropped from the server if it gets full. But try to avoid idling when you are on a team.
Spawn killing
On all maps, there is a spawn protection of six seconds to avoid getting surprised immediately.
However, if you shoot, throw, repair or mount something, you will instantly lose your shield.
Only med and ammo packs are excepted.
The same goes for revive-protection although that lasts the default three seconds.
On the picture you will see allies are invulnerable for six seconds when they spawn at their hut. So they will discover quickly that they are better off helping their team to attack!
You can see that on Fuel Dump, there is also one map-specific spawn protection area: axis east fortification spawn. It will be impossible for allies to go there.

NOTE: Everything else is allowed. Camping at the top of axis spawn and spamming east defenses, etc...
