Network Rules

All players are expected to familiarise themselves with and follow the rules of the bored1 Minecraft Network. Failure to follow these rules may result in disciplinary action.

Important Note

Not every punishable offence can be explicitly listed in these rules. Behaviour that threatens the safety, fairness, or integrity of the network may still result in disciplinary action, even if it is not specifically mentioned.

Attempting to exploit loopholes or claim that an action is permitted simply because it is not listed will not exempt you from punishment.
