Monta
Vista Counter-Strike Club
Code of Conduct

The Monta Vista
Counter-Strike Club was officially formed at around noon, on Monday, November 5th,
2001. The founders/creators of it envisioned a club with a meaningful purpose: to
allow all Monta Vista Counter-Strike players to congregate, and play as a team.
Counter-Strike is a very team oriented game, and we are redefining its meaning
to many people. We emphasize that we play as a school, as a clan, and as a team
in order to succeed. Whether our school will be competing in clan matches,
ladders, etc, the goal of it is primarily for all of us to enjoy it. However,
for our club to run successfully, a set of rules must be enforced in order to
keep our club fun and meaningful.
General Rules:
- Do not defame
other clans or organizations in any way. Keep a good reputation for the MV
CS club.
- In compliance
with the Monta Vista High School Academic Code of Conduct and Zero
Tolerance Policy, fighting, foul language, non-prescription drugs,
alcoholic beverages, and smoking/chewing tobacco are forbidden. All rules are applicable to any
event/activities that Monta Vista Counter-Strike Club is involved with.
Students will use their best judgment in avoiding actions that in any way
degrade the reputation of Monta Vista High School and Monta Vista
Counter-Strike Club.
Server
rules:
- ABSOLUTELY NO
CHEATING IS ALLOWED ON OUR SERVERS – CHEATERS WILL BE PROSECUTED AND
BANNED!
- All MV CS players
are required to wear a tag saying [MV] <followed by name here> (i.e.
[MV] Trekker7)
- Officer and admin
positions are predetermined. If we find it necessary, we will add more
admins to the force.
- Do not complain
and cause trouble on our server(s).
- Attempts to
destroy or damage MV servers will result in harsh punishments.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 HomeLAN 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.
- 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.
The Monta Vista Counter-Strike Club will
communicate regularly via e-mail, phone number, AIM and IRC. None of the
information will be distributed in any way, and will be kept in secrecy. We
would request that you provide some contact information, so that we can contact
you regarding meetings, clan matches, etc.
