Rules surrounding Banning From Servers

[vonlinchen 26]

What are the rules surrounding banning people from indevidual servers?

I would like to institute a policy on my server to ban people who dissconnect during PvP to avoid death. Would this be against the rules?

Thanks

I think if you can prove that you can ban them.. You might be able to ban them anyways.. for w/e but idk

In general be prepared to offer up server logs and other means. In fact, there is someone who did a good job of defending their position versus people saying they were banned unfairly. I believe his forum name was Reality? I'm not sure.

As far as I know server admins can ban for any reason they feel like. Of course that's not what the mod makers intended but I don't see how they can get around that unless they go out of their way to watch specific servers and block their access to the hive and continually do so should the server change ip addresses.

They have a written agreement where you can only ban for racism, abusive behavior, and for d/c. However it seems to be indicated that the burden of proof is on the admin - which isn't unexpected, as all the communities I have been an admin for have had similar requirements.

*D/C may not be on that list, but it was implied by Rocket that it is an abuse.
