Rules

Introduction

Disobeying the rules will get you a warning or ban in that particular category. This means you can have multiple warnings at once in two different categories. Some minor offenses might be overlooked the first couple of times, but serious offenses will give immediate bans without warnings. The banning tiers are as follows. The 2 week ban is repeatable which means that minor offenses won't make you jump to the 1 year tier of ban. Website offenses will result in playing bans.

1st time: Warning
2nd time: 1 week ban
3rd time: 2 week ban (repeatable)
4th time: 1 year ban

Elaborations

Playing

If you find a bug you should always report it according to how it's explained in this lauta topic. Do not attempt to test exploits on your own.

Chat

A few lines of non english here and there will be allowed. If you are bad at english or talking to someone who is, it's fine to talk another language shortly. But if it turns into a longer conversation move it to private or elsewhere.

Starting Battles

Allowed:

• New levels never played by anyone
• Remixes
  • Internal remixes
  • Remixes of others levels
  • But remember they have to be noticably different, especially when it's internals (changing polygons required). And keep amount of remixes to a minimum.

Not allowed:

• Remixes only changing the start position
  • Making level smaller etc.
• Remixes with very small changes
• Practise/Train levels
• Mirror levels
• Scaled levels
• Using same level for different battle type

Website

You should always use your "official" nick, as in the nick you usually use, and the team you're a member of if any.

(*)

In extreme cases these can give an immediate one year or even permanent ban.

Final word

The admins always have the final word, however if you feel you're being treated unjustly, you can send a ban appeal and another admin will look at it. Serious cases will always be discussed in the admin group.
