Code of Conduct

I. Core Principles (The “Gamers for Good” Standard)

We expect all members to be active participants in maintaining a welcoming environment.

• Respect Everyone: Treat all members with dignity. We celebrate diversity in background, identity, and gaming skill level.

• Lift Others Up: Our goal is to support content creators. Constructive feedback is welcome; tearing others down is not.

• Play Fair: Competition is fun; toxicity is not. Win with grace, lose with dignity.

II. Zero Tolerance Policy

Armory Gaming maintains a Zero Tolerance policy for the following. Engaging in these behaviors will result in an immediate ban from the website, Discord, and Game Servers:

• Hate Speech: Any speech that attacks, threatens, or insults a group based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

• Harassment & Bullying: Targeted abuse, stalking, or persistent negativity towards another member.

• Doxxing: Sharing another member’s private personal information without consent.

• Violent Threats: Any threat of real-world violence or harm.

III. Minecraft Armory SMP Rules

To ensure the “Flatworld Redux” and other server events remain enjoyable:

• No Griefing: Unless a specific event (like a PvP war) allows it, destroying other players’ builds is prohibited.

• No Hacking/Cheating: Use of X-ray packs, fly hacks, or unauthorized client-side mods that give an unfair advantage is strictly forbidden.

• Consent-Based PvP: Do not kill other players unless both parties have agreed to combat or you are in a designated PvP zone.

• Lag Prevention: Do not build “lag machines” or excessive Redstone contraptions designed to crash the server.

IV. Content Creator Guidelines

As a community of creators, we hold ourselves to a professional standard:

• No Illegal Content: You may not use Armory Gaming platforms to promote illegal acts, drugs, or pirated software.

• Self-Promotion: promoting your channels is encouraged in designated areas (e.g., Discord “Self-Promo” channels), but please avoid spamming links in general chats or during events.

• Representing the Brand: When participating in Armory Gaming charity events or streams, please remember you are an ambassador for our mission.

V. Enforcement & Appeals

• Three-Strike System: For minor infractions, members may receive a warning. Three warnings result in a temporary or permanent ban.

• Immediate Bans: Severe violations (Section II) bypass the warning system.

• Appeals: If you believe you were banned in error, you may submit an appeal via the [Contact/Support] page.
