Rules

Treat everyone with respect. Any form of discrimination (racism, sexism, etc.) is prohibited

• NSFW content is prohibited in any channel or medium within the community
• Baiting others into using slurs is treated the same as using them yourself
• Severe misconduct (pedophilia, sexual harassment, doxxing, death threats, etc.) results in permanent removal from the community

Cheats, hacks, scripts, and exploits are all prohibited

• If you find an exploit, report it — don't abuse it or spread it around

Don't flood the mic or chat, and don't promote other servers

• Soundboards are fine in moderation, as long as they don't disrupt leaders
• Sharing links of general interest is allowed

Play fair: don't troll or deliberately sabotage your team

• False leading, intentional item misuse, zombie boosting (intentionally cooperating with boosters is also punished)...
• Edging (causing chain infections) and zombie inflating (intentionally becoming a zombie) also count
• On maps where trolling mechanics are part of the design, these rules may be applied more leniently

If an admin or moderator asks you to stop, stop. No discussion

Respect the active leader

• Don't talk over them, especially if it's not relevant to the round
• "Zombie leading" over a human leader counts as spam — use team chat instead

Voice chat is English only to keep things organized

• All languages are welcome in text chat

Map items matter: repeatedly misusing them or ignoring instructions can lead to punishment, even without trolling intent

Contribute actively during boss fights

• No idling or intentionally bad weapon picks on DPS-sensitive bosses
• Shooting caged zombies during a boss fight may also be punished

Don't stall rounds unnecessarily — if there's no progress, don't hold everyone up

Don't use alt accounts to dodge bans or mutes

Don't impersonate staff or pretend to be a server plugin

If staff gives a clear warning not to do something (e.g. early triggers), punishment may be immediate
