Code of Conduct
Sensitive New Age Killers has been an Australian based clan since early 2002. The clans background is from a diverse range of players, from all states, ages and level of skill. SNAK has been running a fun gaming community since mid 2005. In order to maintain a balanced gaming experience, all players are advised to abide by the following rules, or risk being banned from the SNAK gaming server.
If your STEAM ID is banned for cheating etc by a person other than yourself (stolen, hijacked etc), the ban will not be removed, period.
Public Code of Conduct for Players
Below is an incomplete list of the sorts of conduct that is unacceptable on the SNAK server, which can and will result in a temporary or permanent ban:
Impersonating or abuse of SNAK administrators - this includes racist remarks, swearing, baiting or using their aliases, real names, or other references.
Bulk messaging in-game (otherwise known as spam).
Swearing, racist remarks or making discriminatory comments (including gender or sexual persuasion based). This includes using offensive language (either in text or audio chat, in your player name or with a spray image).
Excessive use of in-game voice communication features, to speak or broadcast music.
Excessive use of in-game features unnecessarily, such as flashing your own team members. No more than "1" HE Grenade, "2" Flashbangs and "1" Smoke Grenade are to be purchased each round or deliberately blocking a narrow doorway.
Use of third party applications or in-game commands to an advantage (unfair or not), also known as cheating, hacking or walling etc.
Behavior which effects the natural style of the game, such as Camping or Team Killing - i.e. CT objective is to save the hostages, CT's should not be camping and or refusing to Defuse the bomb or rescuing the hostages, T's should be planting the bomb and or Stopping the CT's from rescuing the hostages.
Abusing map bugs and/or game glitches, such as sky walking, silent planting, illegal defuse of the bomb etc.
Ban evasion. This is when someone has either had a temp ban or a permanent ban placed, they then come back using a different steamid/account. This will result in a Permanent ban placed on the offender.
There are other things which will fall into the category
of unacceptable conduct and they will be up to the discretion of
the Admin who is present at the time to decide on as they occur.
Generally speaking, common sense prevails and should be used by
all that play on the SNAK server - if you feel you need to ask if
something is acceptable conduct or not, then it probably isn't.
If still unsure please ask a SNAK admin. Once the reply is given,
do not argue about it. If you are still not happy with the reply,
visit the forums at www.teamsnak.com/forum.php
Admin Code of Conduct
All SNAK Server Admins are to act in a professional and courteous manner to all players. Like the public code of conduct above, Administrators will also follow a set of rules as outlined below. If and Admins break these rules, they will be warned and in extreme circumstances lose their privileges.
The Commandments of a SNAK Administrator
All Administrators must be active on both gaming servers as well as the "SNAK forums".
All bans must be posted in the bans section and all bans must have a demo/evidence attached or on file (which can be requested at any point in time). If a ban in the database has no evidence/demo to support it, then it will be lifted. Repeat offenders Require a demo to support the ban. Failure to submit a ban into the bans section will result in a warning.
Ban evasion from here on are to be classed as ban on sight.
All SNAK administrators must conduct themselves in a professional manner while on the servers and forums of team SNAK. You are representing the image and brand of SNAK and thus administrators who act with immaturity will earn themselves a warning, or in severe circumstances, removal of all privileges.
Do not at any point bait anyone on either the SNAK server or on the forums, it will not be tolerated. If you are caught doing this you will earn a warning or in severe cases removal of your privileges.
Server should never be passworded. Exceptions to this rule are:
If you have permission from SNAK leaders.
In the instance that servers are to be locked, all players on the server should be notified 10 minutes before they are kicked.
Avoid manually performing a changelevel on the server - instead call an 'amx_votemap <map>' command or tell the players to vote the map in. Only change the map when there is adequate votes. This also includes other settings other than default.
Banning a player should be executed when the players behavior ruins the experience for other players, i.e. breaking the rules in the Public Code of Conduct for Players.
All SNAK admins will need to notify clan leaders if they are inactive for a period longer than two weeks. This way when it comes time to see who is still active, they do not end up loosing their privileges.
Never comment negatively in public about other games networks or communities.
All administrators should read and understand the SNAK Public Code of Conduct. If these rules are broken, you have every right to exercise a kick, ban or warning within reason. These rules also apply to all SNAK admins.
Any admin found breaking the rules that are set in the Public Code of Conduct for Players will have their privileges removed, no exceptions and no excuses.
If any Administrators have any queries regarding these rules please contact any one of the SNAK leaders. Once you have been given a reply to your question, do not argue or turn it into an argument. Logically, if you have to ask if it is acceptable then it most likely is not.
Reporting Unacceptable Conduct
If you find other players (this includes Admins) ruining the gaming experience, you are encouraged to report this via the forums "SNAK forums" with appropriate evidence. Even SNAK admins are required to abide by the Public Code of Conduct for Players.
Penalties
The only form of unacceptable conduct where no discretion is involved is cheating. If you are caught, you will be banned permanently. There will be no exceptions to this rule. For other offenses, the Admin assessing your conduct will determine an appropriate punishment. This can either be a warning or a kick/ban on the spot - depending on the severity of the offense. If rules are repeatedly broken a permanent ban will be issued.
Ban Enquiry
If you find yourself banned from the SNAK server, and are unsure why, please create a Ban Enquiry/Appeal thread on our forums in the appeals section. With-in 24-48 hours, a SNAK Administrator will reply to your enquiry. Do not make additional threads on the forums asking for your ban to be reviewed etc, it will only result in the thread been removed.
