#Anything any member of staff says, goes.
##Do not contest staff decisions.
##Do not ask a second staff member when you get an answer you don't like.
##If you have a problem, contact the concerned staff member by private message on the website. If you have not received an answer after a few days, then create a polite and respectful support ticket on the forums.

##If you find an exploitable glitch, contact a staff member.
##Examples:
###Do not open a chest through glass, bars, or iron doors.

##No buildings or shops can be set up near spawn in any world. Try to move away from eyesight of spawn before claiming/building.
##No Building adjacent to server owned/claimed builds (warps, aqueduct, cove, etc). With staff approval you may build pirate themed builds in these locations.
##No building adjacent to any other claim unless all parties agree, try to keep some distance.

##Do not set a home for intentions of raiding or killing another player. Only set home's you intend to use for a home.
#No advertising at all.
##No advertising for websites, no advertising for servers, no advertising for mods/games/whatever : no advertising at all.
