The official ArchMC Network Community Ruleset & Guidelines
ArchMC is a Minecraft server that's proudly owned by \"RuleYourOwnGame\". As the largest Eaglercraft Server, we carry the responsibility of setting the industry standard for community management.
Our goal is to provide a highly accessible gameplay experience for everyone globally. The ArchMC Staff Team is dedicated to maintaining a safe, inclusive environment. By joining our Minecraft server, Discord, or any associated platforms you agree to follow our guidelines outlined in this document.
The integrity of our playerbase is of highest priority. To ensure a fair playing field, we expect you to understand the following:
- Data Privacy — We respect your privacy on the ArchMC Network. ArchMC does not share the information of its playerbase to third parties. We won't disclose the alts or punishment details of a player that isn't you.
- Accountability is Personal — Support tickets are personal. We do not allow appeals to be done by third parties. Only the original account owner can submit a support ticket for review.
- Anti-Corruption Policy — ArchMC has a zero-tolerance policy against bribery or favour-induced Staff decisions. We do not, and will never, accept any form of incentive to alter punishment decisions. Furthermore, no player — regardless of rank, race, status, etc. — receives \"favoured\" treatment. These guidelines apply equally and objectively to all.
While the following sections go into detail on prohibited punishable behaviors, the general expectation is simple:
> \"Conduct yourselves with maturity\"
- Act in a Way That is Socially Acceptable — We expect our players to be socially acceptable human beings.
- Have Common Sense — We expect our players to have common sense regarding human interactions.
- Show Basic Respect — We expect our players to show basic respect to other members of society, regardless of their favour against said member.
Keep in mind that your freedom ends when someone else's freedom starts. These rulesets aren't to restrict the player, but to ensure a safe community. By joining our Minecraft server, Discord, or any associated platforms you agree to follow our guidelines outlined in this document.
1. Spamming and Flooding — Keep the chat clean. Sending the same message multiple times, using way too many caps than needed to make your point go across, or making a message too long to make the other messages in the thread less visible is not allowed. Encouraging other users in order to disrupt the chat in this way is also a violation of these terms.
2. Unapproved Discussions — Avoid discussing Politics, Religion, or ongoing conversational events that shouldn't be discussed in a family-friendly voxel-based game. Don't redirect anyone to other platforms that follow anything mentioned above using the public chat.
3. Advertising — Refrain from advertising other platforms. This includes Minecraft Servers, Social Media Groups, Discord Communities, etc. ArchMC is only dedicated to its community, nothing else.
1. Harassment — Show basic respect. Personally targeting a specific user, using their identity as a person to degrade someone's existence, and any type of threats on a user's well-being is not tolerated. If a discussion gets too heavy to keep it in public chat, resolve it privately or just block the other person.
2. Hate Speech — Discriminatory language of any kind is strictly prohibited. This includes slurs, racism, and homophobia. \"Context\" or \"Joke\" is not accepted as an excuse. The use of hate speech is prohibited regardless of intent.
3. Threats — Protection of our users is top priority. Any type of threats against a user or the environment of the user is not tolerated. The types mentioned include: Doxxing Threats, Death Threats, Swatting Threats, DDoS Threats, Sexual Threats, etc.
4. Disallowed Media — You are not allowed to share any kind of NSFW content on ArchMC. This includes both sexual media and media that contains any type of gore. Keep in mind that your actions might seriously harm someone. These infractions are unappealable.
1. Deception — While tricking players in ways that follow the gameplay loop is permitted, you are not allowed to impersonate any staff members. Technical deception using crash debug commands is also not allowed.
2. Evasions — If you are muted, you are muted. While you can still communicate using in-game items like signs, you are not allowed to go on an alternative account to bypass the mute. Any type of mute evasion infraction will result in harsher punishments on your original account.
3. Bypassing Filters — This one should be obvious. Do not in any case try to use disallowed words by finding exploits within the system. These types of infractions are more likely to give harsher punishments than normal timeouts.
1. Cross-Teaming — In any gamemode which automatically sets team roles after joining a game, you are only allowed to team with your assigned team members. Any act of cross-teaming is a punishable offense.
2. Team Griefing — Any act of self-sabotage in a team game is considered griefing. Any act of playing with the objective to lose in a team gamemode is a punishable offense.
3. Trading Ethics — Every single transaction that happens between a player and another player should be done using the in-game interface. This includes Rank-to-in-game-item transactions. Forwarding a trade to a third-party application is a punishable offense. Rank scamming is considered a gameplay loop event.
1. Dupe Exploits — Any type of \"Dupe\" that is classified as a bug is disallowed. This includes coin dupes, block dupes, item dupes, etc. You can also be punished for purchasing or having obviously duped items that haven't been reported. If you see someone being beaten up and you also join in, even though you didn't throw the first punch, you are a part of the problem.
2. Gameplay Exploits — Any act of using a system to gain an obviously unintended advantage is not allowed. This includes griefing areas like Lifesteal's spawn, abusing invincibility exploits, glitching through map borders, making false /reports, spamming the /helpop command, use of lag machines, cooldown bypasses, ban evasions using alts, etc.
1. Use of Hacked Clients — The use of any external software that modifies your Minecraft instance is disallowed. Make sure all such programs are completely closed before joining the server. Accidentally joining with a Hacked Client is not an excuse.
2. Modifications — Let's start from ground zero. What do we consider as \"modifications\"?
- Mods — any Fabric, Forge, or Neoforge mod.
- Resource Packs — any Resource Pack / Texture Pack.
- Programmable Keyboard Shortcuts — any changes made in a keyboard program.
- Mouse Macros — any type of external mouse program readjustment.

1. Content Involving Minors — Any type of endangerment of minors will result in an immediate, permanent blacklist out of the network.
2. Violence Threats — Extreme threats involving real-world violence will result in an immediate, permanent blacklist out of the network. Do not even joke about topics such as swatting or school shootings.
3. Explicit & Harmful Content — Any type of sexual or gore content will result in an immediate, permanent blacklist out of the network.
1. Doxxing Acts — Sharing any type of real-life identifiers of a user who has not given you specific consent (IP, address, full name, picture of house, etc.) will result in an immediate, permanent blacklist out of the network.
2. Account Theft — Any attempt to steal credentials of another user will result in an immediate, permanent blacklist out of the network.
3. Data Exfiltration — Data exfiltration of personal user info or any server info is bannable. You are not allowed to use the Public API in order to gain any information that's not accessible for players inside the network.
1. E-Dating — Our priority is keeping ArchMC a safe space for everyone, especially our younger players. That's why we have a zero-tolerance policy against e-dating. We ask that you keep your personal relationships off the server. Using our chat or platforms for romantic interest will result in an immediate blacklist out of the network.
2. Self-Harm Encouragement — Content that promotes and glorifies self-harm or suicide is prohibited. ArchMC takes the mental health of our players seriously. Any serious self-harm encouragement will be met with immediate blacklist out of the network.
3. Pinging Staff Members — Do not mention staff for updates on appeals, reports, or applications. Messaging multiple staff members through DMs, pinging them one by one, or tagging roles to mention multiple staff members at once is a really fast way to getting timed out or ticket banned. Allow the staff team to handle your request in the order it was received.
If you were punished and believe it was a mistake, you can create a Punishment Appeal ticket through the ArchMC Support Discord Server.
