Your in-game name is yours and yours alone. To ensure that we are all on the same page, in-game player names may not contain any of the below mentioned examples:
1) Abusive or derogatory terms, that is targeted towards a specific player.
2) Slurs or profanity of any sort.
3) Impersonation of another player (even mock type names).
4) Inappropriate names (Hitler, SS Soldier etc).
5) Obscure characters that are difficult to see via our RM software or difficult to see in-game.
Although not a hard rule, we will suggest that default names such as "Player" or "Spieler" etc, are changed to a more unique name for a better experience.
In-game text chat is an easy place to upset someone if they're not on the same page as you. As such, the following is forbidden in the in-game chat:
1) Swearing.
Any form of swearing is covered by this rule. If it's in the sailors book, it's swearing. If someone swears in another language and we find out, action will be taken accordingly.
2) Excessive Insulting.
Usage of slurs, slang or otherwise derogatory comments directed at players.
3) Racism.
Any prejudice, discrimination or antagonism displayed by a player against another player with regard to their race, religion, orientation etc.
4) Spamming.
Repeating the same message multiple times, either via the text-chat itself or in-game radio commands.
5) Recruiting or Advertising (unless arranged prior).
Any form of marketing other communities, platforms, services etc. Attempting to poach HelloClan members for one's own community.
6) Hackusations.
Accusing other players of using in-game hacks that allow an unfair advantage.
7) Weapon Insulting.
Any comment with regard to a player's choice in weapons that is in a negative light. Utterances like "noob" is allowed until it becomes excessive.
Actions to to expect:
1) The player will be kicked as soon as the offense is committed.
2) Should the player keep it up after they have been kicked, they will be banned for a minimum of 24hrs. If they are a repeat offender, their ban time may be adjusted accordingly.
All of these offenses are of the same nature. Thus, if a player starts swearing, get's kicked and comes back to do some chat spamming, they will be banned. An Admin may warn the player if they choose to, but it is not mandatory.
To ensure that all our players have a fair and fun time, we encourage a certain degree of cordiality. As such, the following is not allowed on our server:
1) Disruptive play.
1.1) Putting your team at a distinct disadvantage by taking vehicles, but not using them to fight.
1.2) Taking a tunnel and refusing to place it.
1.3) Hiding at the end of a map as one of the last players alive on your team.
1.4) Not attempting to take a flag as the last surviving member of your team.
1.5) Taking a vehicle as one team and deliberately giving it to the other team.
1.6) Destroying a tunnel/spawnbox belonging to your team.
2) Team-killing.
2.1) Blowing up a vehicle with a teammate nearby.
2.2) Deliberately crashing a vehicle with a teammate inside.
2.3) Deliberately crashing a vehicle into a teammate.
3) Shooting friendly vehicles.
Shooting a vehicle belonging to your team for any reason other than preventing an enemy who is about to get it/to-respawn it as it is damaged and can't easily be repaired/killing the enemy near or in it.
5) Main raping (unless allowed).
Main raping with aircraft is not allowed unless your team has all the available flags captured on maps this rule covers. You may attack if all other flags between your main base and the enemies main base are neutral (white).
If a main flag is turned white (neutral) it may be attacked until the original team recaptures it. Irrespective of current main rape circumstances across the map.
Maps covered by this rule are as follows:
Operation Hastings
Fall of Lang Vei
Saigon 68 (Above ground flags are counted, not tunnel flags)
Defence of Con Thien
Operation Cedar Falls (Above ground flags are counted, not tunnel flags)
Operation Game Warden
Operation Irving
Siege of Khe Sahn
La Drang Valley
Fall of Saigon
See the below screenshots for what areas we class as main-raping when on these maps. Click on the image to enlarge!
6) Excessive team-switching.
If you are switched by the server automatically, please try stay on the team you are sent to. We'd like to keep the team's as balanced as possible. We look at any switching beyond 2-3 times. After that it is excessive.
Actions to to expect:
1) The player will be kicked as soon as the offense is committed.
2) Should the player keep it up after they have been kicked, they will be banned for a minimum of 24hrs. If they are a repeat offender, their ban time may be adjusted accordingly.
All of these offenses are of the same nature. Thus, if someone shoots a friendly vehicle and gets kicked, then comes back to main rape they will be banned. This applies only if the intent was malevolent in nature. As is to be expected though, admin discretion will be used in all circumstances. An Admin may warn the user if they choose to, but it is not mandatory.
If you need to step away from your PC for a few moments, we recommend that you go to spectator mode (bear in mind you will loose your score) until you return. If you are AFK and not in spectator mode, the following will happen:
1) The player will be asked if they are playing. This will be through yellow admin chat or in-game chat. Both count as sufficient warning. Should they respond, nothing further will happen.
2) Should the player not respond after being given a sufficent amount of time, or should they still fall under any of the below conditions, the player will be kicked.
AFK Conditions:
1.a) The player must have a score of 0 0 0 , signifying they've made no game-play actions.
1.b) The player must have no kit beside their name, signifying they haven't spawned.
1.c) The player must have a greyed out name for at least a few minutes, signifying they've not joined.
An admin must make a ban topic, irrespective of banishment period, in the Ban List forum (https://www.helloclan.eu/bfv/banlist) within 24hrs of the ban being made. These must also contain the relevant evidence if it was made via report. Evidence is not required of an admin to produce if it was witnessed in-game.
Exception to this is reports and hacking.
Should a player be banned and they attempt to circumvent their ban by making use of dubious methods, they will find any and all new CD-Keys banned as well as additional info to prevent them from entering the game until their ban has been served. Should they truly persevere, they may find themselves banned for a month on top of their original ban just for the evasion.
As mentioned in the above topic, Admins have the sole right to use their discretion when dealing with rule breakers. They are entitled to apply just punishment should the need arise. Should there be any unfair treatment, you may discretely report an Admin here: https://www.helloclan.eu/staff/report

4.1) Any glitches in a map that give a player an unfair advantage, usually by providing them with a way to kill players without the players they target being able to shoot back, are classed as glitching.
4.2) Shooting through walls, being in walls & under floors are all considered glitching. Mortar jumping is not classed as a glitch.
