Join Monta Vista Counter-Strike!

Bylaws

We want your experience at Monta Vista Counter-Strike's servers to be a memorable one. As fun as it will be, there must be some guidelines to follow in order to ensure a good experience. There are a handful of key rules enforced on EVERY public MV Counter-Strike server, regardless of what kind of server it is. To make it easy for visitors, these rules are included whenever rules are provided.

MVCS's rules are based on providing the most comfortable gaming environment possible; this is the specific reason there are two main flavors of servers: some servers that are designed for mature audiences while others are (profanity-free).

**RACISM/SEXISM

Derogatory language and slander involving race, gender, sexual preference, religion or creed, including negative use of otherwise harmless words such "gay" or "jew", is not tolerated on any Monta Vista Counter-Strike server. This policy is enforced across the board. If a bigot feels the need to express his views on our server, they are creating a hostile environment for our other players. This can be such a serious issue that a warning is not always necessary. We do not feel the need to provide free servers to hate-mongers.

**SWEARING

On a couple of Monta Vista Counter-Strike's servers, we will eliminate swearing. Other servers will allow mild swearing, but keep in mind that racist or sexist comments will get you banned.

**HARRASSMENT

A little healthy trash-talk is fine and appropriate to gaming, just as it is to almost any other sporting event. However, prolonged and unsolicited harassment may be grounds for removal. No player on a Monta Vista Counter-Strike server should have to feel unfairly targeted or attacked. In the event that a player feels the need to continually harass another gamer, they will be requested to cease immediately. If they continue, they may be removed.

**CHEATING

Cheating in ANY form is an instantly bannable offense. There is no warning; there is no second chance. Monta Vista Counter-Strike, in its intent to provide servers to the serious gamer, has chosen to take this step to help insure its patrons are getting a fair game. Whenever cheaters are caught via an automated system (a la PunkBuster), or by solid telltales shown to an observing admin, they will be removed.

Cheating can include such obvious hacks as an aimbot or autofire 3rd-party program, wallhacks, the Happy Flag (huge models), spiked models, money or spell exploits, or disabling/exploiting game attributes (such as a smoke-removal hack, using the cloak-pack or shield pack bugs to "stack" attributes). Cheating also includes such exploits as a scripted bunnyhop, ghosting (a dead player using the camera to assist a live player via RogerWilco, telephone, across a room, etc), macroing to build skills, or other such influential advantages that give the player an unfair advantage, therefore effectively handicapping the other players on the server.

**TEAMKILLING/BASEKILLING/UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT

Players that deliberately hinder their team (such as by flashbanging their own teammates, stacking detpacks to block doorways, shooting friendly players off of stations, and so on) may be removed without warning. For milder transgressions, a warning is, of course, appropriate. However, a player that is intentionally (and sadistically) disabling their own team goes against the idea of the 'serious gamer', and is therefore not welcome on our servers.

These guidelines will hopefully keep our servers in good shape, and will allow anyone to have fun on our servers. If you have any questions/comments/concerns, or need to report any a person who violates these rules, please contact Overkill at yashasp@nettaxi.com, or send him an Instant Message at: Overkill253
