How we keep it fair.

Respect everyone

Treat players, staff, creators and community members with respect.

• No harassment, bullying or targeted abuse.
• No hate speech, discrimination or slurs.
• No threats or intimidation.
• No excessive toxicity or attempts to create drama.
• Don't intentionally provoke or repeatedly annoy other members.
• Respect personal boundaries and staff decisions.

Be the player you would actually want to play alongside.

Chat & content

Keep conversations appropriate and enjoyable for the community.

• No excessive spam or message flooding.
• No unnecessary pinging or mention abuse.
• No inappropriate, NSFW or excessively graphic content.
• No disturbing or malicious content.
• No excessive caps, character spam or disruptive formatting.
• Don't intentionally derail conversations.
• Don't impersonate other members, creators or staff.

Use each channel for what it is actually there for.

Advertising & promotion

Unauthorised advertising isn't permitted.

• No advertising other Minecraft servers.
• No advertising Discord servers or communities without permission.
• No unsolicited advertisements in DMs.
• No advertising products, services or websites without permission.
• No excessive self-promotion.

Want to discuss a partnership or promotion? Bring it to staff directly.

Minecraft gameplay

Play fairly and respect the systems that make the world work.

• No cheating or unauthorised modifications.
• No hacked clients or combat or gameplay advantages.
• No exploiting bugs or unintended mechanics.
• No abusing server mechanics to gain an unfair advantage.
• No lag machines or intentional server disruption.
• No AFK methods designed to bypass server limitations.
• No attempts to manipulate server systems, plugins or mechanics.

Found a bug? Report it — don't cash it in.

Towny, claims & property

Respect other players' towns, builds and property.

• Don't grief or destroy protected or unprotected builds to cause harm.
• Don't steal from other players.
• Don't abuse Towny mechanics to bypass protections.
• Don't interfere with another player's town or gameplay.
• Don't exploit claims, permissions or town mechanics.

Staff can and will investigate disputes over towns, claims and property.

Trading & economy

Keep the economy fair and legitimate.

• No scams or intentionally misleading trades.
• No exploiting the economy.
• No duplication exploits.
• No abusing shops, jobs, rewards or other economic systems.
• No real-world trading of in-game items or currency unless explicitly permitted by Algorithm OasisMC.
• Don't attempt to manipulate or circumvent server prices and systems.

If a trade looks off, ask staff before you complete it.

Accounts & security

Keep your account and the community safe.

• Don't attempt to steal another player's account.
• Don't request or share passwords, tokens or private login information.
• Don't distribute malicious files or links.
• Don't attempt to compromise Discord, Minecraft or server accounts.
• Don't use another person's account without permission.

Never share sensitive account information with anyone — staff included. Real staff will never ask for your password.

Tickets & support

Use the support system the way it is meant to be used.

• Ask for help with legitimate questions, reports and problems.
• Don't spam or repeatedly open requests.
• Don't intentionally waste staff time.
• Don't file false reports.
• Don't impersonate another player in a report.
• Don't use support to harass staff or other players.

Accurate information gets your request resolved faster.

Staff & moderation

Staff are responsible for keeping the community safe and fair.

• Follow reasonable instructions from staff.
• Don't interfere with moderation.
• Don't attempt to evade punishments.
• Don't impersonate staff.
• Don't threaten staff over moderation decisions.

Disagree with a punishment? Use the appeal process, not a public argument.

Punishments & enforcement

Breaking the rules can result in moderation action, scaled to fit the situation:

Warning → Mute → Kick → Temporary ban → Permanent ban

Severe violations can mean immediate punishment with no warning first. Severity increases for:

• Repeated offences
• Evasion of previous punishments
• Coordinated rule breaking
• Severe harassment
• Cheating or exploitation
• Threats or malicious behaviour
• Attempts to damage the server or community

Punishments are handled based on severity, context and history. This mirrors the enforcement terms in our Terms of Service.

Use common sense

Not everything fits a numbered rule. Technically following the wording of a rule while clearly abusing its intent still counts as breaking it.

Don't go looking for loopholes. These rules exist to protect the community, not to give anyone a rules-lawyering game to win.

Acknowledgement

By taking part in the Algorithm OasisMC Discord or Minecraft server, you agree that you have read, understood and will follow these rules. Not knowing the rules doesn't excuse breaking them.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Be respectful, play fairly, and help build a community worth being part of.
