Rules

Here are the three, short and simple rules we find keep the server a good place for everyone to hang out and build. For more elaborate explanation on how to follow these rules, check the page on Becoming a Member. Repeatedly ignoring the rules may result in a a ban.

Law 1

[ GOD ] DO NOT BE A JERK. GIVE PEOPLE THEIR SPACE. SHARE YOUR RESOURCES AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE. ABOVE ALL, BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

Interpretation:

• No typing in all capital letters
• no flooding chat (especially with stuff clearly covered on the FAQ)
• no intentionally hurting or distressing other players, or any denizen of The Voxel Box (including VoxelFoxes and VoxelGod!)
• no sexism, no homophobia, no racism, and no nationalism.

Law 2

[ GOD ] THIS IS MY HOUSE. THIS IS NOT YOUR HOUSE. THINGS ARE AS THEY ARE FOR A REASON, AND THE RULES ARE NOT UP FOR DEBATE, ESPECIALLY WITH GUESTS.

Interpretation:

• The ablity to begin to change the system begins at membership and not before.
• Occasionally, this means the admins have to do things that we ask that guests and members refrain from.
• We prefer to stay on-topic of fun, server-related activities in the in-game chat and avoid discussing politics and religion.
• Those with differences that are failing to mediate themselves will be asked to take their grievances out of the public chat of the server to another communication medium.
• Failure to take a discussion out of public chat when directed to by server staff may result in a permanent ban. See the Terms of Service for more on this.

Law 3

[ GOD ] ALL POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS SYMBOLOGY IN BUILDS MUST BE FICTIONAL.

Interpretation:

• Give your build a creative story!
• Builds with existing religious or political symbology (e.g. flags of countries on Earth) will be demolished on sight by server staff (this also goes for conversations on these topics).
• This also means that you should not advocate illegal behavior.
