Offensive/Inappropriate Language
What is that?
Also known as flaming, the use of unnecessary swearing and/or making fun of a disability sexual preference race or religion results in a ban or warning that will stay on your account forever, please just play nice.
Account Sharing
Account Sharing: General Knowledge
Account sharing is a violation of the Battle Dawn Terms Of Service. This is a serious matter, and if found guilty, will result in an in-game ban according to the severity of the account sharing. To put it simply, don't account share!
What is Account Sharing?
Account sharing is when one player logs onto another player's account to move squads, resources, or maintain account. These can be easily detected through in-game servers and logged. These accounts are then verified by In-game Administrators, and the users involved will get banned.
Piloting
Piloting is giving you account information to a friend who doesn't play your world so he can play on you account while you are offline (sometimes used in difficult situations such as war, it is kind of a act of desperation if you have to get offline. This is against the rules and WILL get you banned.
How does one prevent this?
Simple. Don't hand out your Battle Dawn password to anyone. Firstly, it's against the rules and you can be banned for it. Secondly, giving anyone your password will allow them access to all of your servers and the forums as "you". Any actions that happen on your account are your responsibility so don't allow anyone to use your account or you will be liable for it.
Bug/Glitch Abuse
What is a bug?
A bug is a flaw in the programming, when triggered it can make something happen that isn't supposed to be happening.
What is bug/glitch abuse?
Bug abusing is as simple as its name. When players use a bug/glitch in the game to gain an advantage over another player, they could be banned for this especially if it is a widely known bug/glitch.
How does one prevent this?
As soon as you become aware of a bug/glitch, report it immediately to the in game Administrator. They will thank you for reporting it and possibly get rewarded. After reporting it, however, it does not give you free reign to use it. If you accidentally came across a bug report it immediately, if you report it and do your due diligence then you will not be punished about it.
Multiple Accounts
What is Multi-ing?
Multi accounts are one player having two or more colonies on one server. In Battle Dawn, it is against the rules for a player to do this. Once the administrators find out, sanctions will be placed: all of the other accounts will be deleted, and the "main" account will usually be banned, either temporarily or permanently.
What is farming?
Farming is a method of using Multiple accounts or lots friends in order to obtain some sort of advantage in the game, for example: gaining additional resources. Obviously, we're not going to say how to do it here, but as with account sharing, it is against the rules and there will be penalties placed if you do do this.
Rules enforcement and Detection
Who enforces the rules?
In-game, the rules are enforced by the world administrator of each world. On the forums, rules are enforced by the forum moderators. For more information on administrators and the rules, click here
How do the administrators find cheaters?
Administrators use a combination of player reports of suspicious behaviour and various admin tools to monitor servers. Tools which are constantly being improved and expanded on so make sure to follow the rules! If you have any questions about a possible "grey area" of the rules then feel free to send the admin of the world where the questionable activity is/will take place to get clarification.
