These are the rules for the game s0urce.io.
These rules exist to protect you, the player and guarantee that everyone has a fun time playing s0urce.io. Additionally, they assist us, the developers, in addressing cheating and other behaviors that could spoil the game for those who opt to play honestly.

If you break the rules, meaning, if you do anything that is not allowed listed below, you might be muted (prevented from chatting in-game) or banned (making it impossible for you to play) by us.

No Mini-Modding

No mini-modding; mini-modding otherwise known as backseat moderating is the act of commenting on or correcting others behaviors without the authority to do so, or instructing moderators on when / how / why / where they should apply their authority or exact punishments. Obey the Staff. When a staff member such as a Junior Moderator, Moderator, or Administrator requests or instructs you to do or not do something you must obey their orders (within most reason). All rules listed here on s0urce.io also apply to the Discord Server, and vice versa, and may be enforced at the discretion of the moderators.

Staff/Mod Impersonation

You may not impersonate any s0urce.io staff member. This includes: pretending to be a staff member, using the same name as a staff member, or claiming to have the ability to perform staff actions.

"Social Engineering"towards the S0urce.io staff or any persons related to the staff is not allowed, you will be punished in-game and it may result in "real life" action. Addendum: "Social Engineering", "Doxxing", or any form of manipulation/investigation on/regarding another player to reveal personal information, or revealing someone's personal information either privately or publicly is not allowed.

You may not harass staff members for any reason, including for disciplinary actions, Rule Breaking, Temporary Bans, or Permanent Bans
You may not send excessive in-game reports for attention (including any game utilities provided for communication)
You may not send excessive pings or @ Commands via Discord to staff

Exploiting Bugs

Players are required not to exploit any bugs or glitches they encounter in the game. Should you come across a bug or glitch, we urge you to report it directly to the s0urce.io developers.
Discovering a bug or glitch does not give you the green light to misuse it.
We assure you that finding a bug or glitch and reporting it to us, without further exploitation, will not lead to a ban. However, repeated exploitation of a glitch, especially one that provides an unfair advantage or gain over others, will result in a ban.
We also advise against disclosing details of the glitch to other players, whether through in-game conversations, creating instructional content, or any form of dissemination.
Urging others to exploit a glitch, or spreading information about it, is considered as serious as exploiting the glitch yourself and may also lead to a ban.
