| General rules |
| |
In the past we kept friendly to
occasional breaches of universal law as most of them occurred in the top
empires and an intervention would have damaged the entire round. As from
this time on we will no longer make exceptions and punish when needed.
The admin team holds all rights to take actions WHEN and AS they see fit
for the occuring violation. |
| |
Bug abuse will not be tolerated. When bugs are reported,
they will be fixed as soon as possible, and compensation or penalties
will be given from the time of reporting. |
| |
As the result of some massive
cheating in round #13 proxy usage is now forbidden. IF you are suspected
of usage you MIGHT get a warning. If so your logins will be followed
very close. |
| |
Every person can only have one
account and you are also the only person allowed to access that account. |
| |
IF for some reason you end up with a
friend and both play Ectroverse, you are to notify the administrator
BEFORE logging into your account. |
| |
If more then one person in the same
location have an Ectroverse account you are to notify the administrator
at the beginning of each round. |
| |
|
| Forum and ingame
messaging rules |
| |
Abusive and improper language is to
kept from all public messages. Private messages will not be monitored on
an ongoing basis. However, if evidence is presented, complaints of
abusive and improper language will be investigated thoroughly. |
| |
There will be no spamming neither in
the forums neither in someone's personal mailbox. |
| |
You are not allowed to hate bacon or
throw a frog in the admin's face. |
| |
We all know firsthand how frustrating
some situations can be. However if you suddenly feel overwelmed with
frustration you are to work it out on your own hardware, your parents,
the who-will-be-next thread or any other wya but not on (or in) the
game. |
| |
All kind of links referring to
conduct which we think might be offensive will be removed (and is
punishable)
Content should be kept to what is suitable for children under 13. This
includes any links that may be posted on the forums. Content not falling
under this criteria will be removed. |
| |
|
| Contact policy |
| |
The admin and moderator team can be
reached allmost around the clock. You ARE allowed to send each of the
accounts in empire #0 the same message. The first one online will try to
fulfill your request. |
| |
The administrator can be contacted by
messenger addy at ev_administrator@hotmail.com. |
| |
The administrator has no life at all
however his phone number will not be published |
| |
The IRC channel is free to chat but
please do not harass people in there (we had someone spamming and
insulting the IRC server's admin a while ago, don't want that to happen) |

| About moderator and
administrators |
| |
Moderators and administrators are allowed to play on
this server. We have 2 reasons for this. At first it allows the
moderators to be up to date in the current happennings and on the other
hand it also allows us to experience our updates and stuff firsthand. |
| |
All moderators and administrators play in different
families in order to avoid corruption and other forms of cheating. |
| |
Moderators and administrators are allowed to view ANY
KIND of info. However! They need to ask permission to the main
administrator (me) and another mod before
doing so. If not the moderator / administrator will be banned. |
| |
We play only to keep the fun in the game and by doing so
we have more active players which makes the game more interesting. |
| |
This way we are also more active and also present at
various times, if we would just be here to read our msg's we'd drop by
once a day. |
| |
Everyone in the team is trustworthy and has proven this
in the past. They will not use any kind of
info to benifit personally or their family |
| |
There is not a person in the team who knows the artifact
coords. Not even me. |
| |
The moderator and admin team does play on real EV
accounts. However, they do not access info from the mod or admin panels
unless a problem arises. That means that artifact coordinates, empire
information, fleet data, resources stockpiles, and the like are NOT
KNOWN by the mod and admin team. An independent mod team member who does
not play EV will investigate any allegations of cheating that involve
accessing this data. |
| |
|
| EV library |
| |
YOU are responsible for all the
content you add to it. |
| |
As trusted user you are allowed to
post immediately but abusing this ability will make you immediately lose
all rights concerning the library for 6 months. |
| |
"Trusted user" is an earned tag. You
can gain or lose it. If for some reason you think you need it you can
contact the admin. |
| |
The EV library is not to be used for
sharing illegal stuff. Non-EV stuff is allowed but as soon you are
suspected of using the EV library for exchanging things in violation
with ANY law the content and the user will be deleted. |
| |
Everything in the EV library will
become public after 2 months. By this we want to enlighten the community
with the past private stuff. it can improve overall game strategy and
also force people to change their strategy. |
| |
You are allowed to link to the EV
library on non EV sites. |
| |
There will be no set limit of disk
space however the admin team holds the right to interviene whenever it
exceeds our interpretation of "reasonable". |
| |
As all info becomes public after 2
months you are not to post private info (for example logins, credit card
info,...). The administrator team is not responsbible for abuse in case
you do. |
| |
|
| Server improvement stuff |
| |
The points in this part are not rules,
just pointers to keep the server as stable as possible. |
| |
Try to keep your mailbox from having
200 megssages you don't need anyway |
| |
If you have an account which you have
no use off anymore, delete it rather then deactivate it. All these
accounts remain in our system and waste valuable space. If for some
reason you might remember having several accounts in the past you may
activate it in order to delete it. |
| |
If you think you have valuable ideas
or you can make some contributions, feel free to share em with the admin
team. |
