1.0 - Community Rules
Keep it civil. A bit of competitive showboating/taunting (aka "BMing") is fine, but don't descend into hurling abuse at one another.
 * 1.1 - No Insulting


 * 1.2 - No Advertisements


 * 1.3 - No Spam

Cheating in all forms is a bannable offense - including glitches, undermeshing or leaving the map. No excuses. This also includes admins who abuse their access to console commands (or other server features) for reasons other than performing their support duties.

Examples of griefing include:
 * 1.5 - No Griefing

You are not permitted to raid under an alias. You are not permitted to impersonate another tribe.

 * 2.3 - No Insiding

Recruiting an inexperienced player who gets your dinos killed or forgets to close a door is not considered to be insiding.

Everything belongs to the Tribe Owner.
