Unfair Play - Rule Changes

We've changed some of our rules regarding unfair play. Please reread the full section to be aware of changes:

Section 6 - Unfair Play
Clause 1 - Hacking and Hacked Clients

• Fly, speed, air build, teleport hacking, or any other types of hacks, are not tolerated. This includes x-ray hacking and x-ray texture packs. Using any unfair means (including glitches, bugs, and exploits) to get into server buildings is also not allowed and is unfair to other users.
• Using any clients, specifically hacked clients, which may allow you to gain unfair advantages as deemed by ECC staff is strictly prohibited.
• Users caught using any client deemed to be a "hacked client", as defined by and at the discretion of the staff, will be banned. There is no excuse for using a hacked client on EcoCityCraft whatsoever.
• Discussion of hacked clients is not allowed - we do not allow them, and therefore we do not discuss them.

Clause 2 - Multiple Accounts

• Multiple accounts used by different people on the same internet connection/IP are allowed.
• An individual person playing on multiple accounts is allowed so long as no financial benefits arise from doing so, and no account belonging to that player is banned. There must be absolutely no financial interaction between multiple accounts that you own.This includes but is not limited to:
  • Adding alt accounts as owners/members of regions you own.
  • Direct or indirect transactions (via /pay, trade signs, etc).
• If any account owned by a player is banned, all the other accounts owned by that player will not be able to appeal until the account banned first has successfully appealed.
• If there are multiple accounts on the same internet connection/IP, either used by you or others, you must contact a member of staff immediately to inform them.
• Users may be questioned for being on the same internet connection, or, in cases of suspicious activity and bans, immediately banned regardless of the reason for the same connection, to be appealed with an explanation.

Clause 3 - Exploits

• Abuse of any exploits, bugs, or glitches can result in a punishment based on the severity of abuse. Those are unfair "advantages" that can cause major issues for everyone on the server.
• When exploits are found, they need reported to the server owner immediately.
• Being a good sport and reporting issues (mainly severe exploits) could benefit you more than abusing them would. Game play is to be kept fair for everyone.

Clause 3.1 - Server Exploits

• 
  
  
  • Any user caught exploiting any feature or a part of the server without reporting it will be severely punished.
  • As well, hacking into the server through any sort of illegal method will have your information forwarded to your local Police Department after your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is contacted.

Clause 3.2 - Economy Exploits

• 
  
  
  • Any user caught severely exploiting the economy in any way without reporting the glitch or bug will be severely punished.
  • Exploiting the economy is any action that results in an unfair economical advantage to a single user or group of users, by means of a glitch, exploit or bug.
    • This also means that exploiting exploits that are known is against the rules. If you believe a bug, glitch or exploit has been reported and has not been fully fixed, please report this to the administrator.
  • There will be absolutely no chance of appeal for this sort of action.

Clause 4 - Automation

• The use of any means to earn money without doing any work is prohibited.
• This includes, but is not limited to, macromod scripts, autofisher mods, fully automated farms, and physical means to hold a button down while away from your computer.
• Usage of automated means is allowed for MCMMO grinding, providing you are not generating money and are not afk (e.g. an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a player is allowed, an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a mob spawner is not).
• If you are found to have used any kind of illegal automation, your relevant statistics/balance will be reduced and/or cleared entirely at the discretion of administration.
• Be warned that we take this very seriously.

Clause 5 - Minimaps

• The only minimap which is allowed to be used is the Official ECC Minimap. Instructions for downloading and installing the minimap can be found here.

If you have any questions, please ask.

 

No. That's a direct transaction.

The new stuff is highlighted btw.

 

As long as you two aren't the same person you can still interact. However nothing has changed regarding how voting works.

 

"Usage of automated means is allowed for MCMMO grinding, providing you are not generating money and are not afk (e.g. an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a player is allowed, an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a mob spawner is not)."

As long as you aren't afk and aren't making money we allow those things.
