Modded / Server Rules

« on: July 26, 2016, 05:01:06 am »

Official Rules and Regulations

All Players

• Griefing will not be tolerated.
• Understand that unclaimed land is NOT safe.
• The land-claim system shall not be used maliciously
• Do your best to keep lag as low as possible.
• No PvP without permission.
• Be respectful of others. This includes no hate-speech and the like.
• No impersonating staff.
• Use of exploits of any type is prohibited.
• X-Ray mods and texture packs are prohibited. Items intentionally included in the pack, however, are usually allowed.
• Do not preform actions listed in the Specific Actions section below.

Operator-Specific Rules

• Your job is to maintain order and ensure that the rules are enforced.
• If a situation arises that is not covered by the rules, or you are unclear about what action to take, contact a Global Moderator or Admin immediately.
• Cases of major exploits or hacking should be handed over to an admin or higher.
• You are expected to have good knowledge of several mods in the pack.
• You are expected to be helpful to players
• The rules are not up to your interpretation. Enforce them as listed unless a Head Admin or higher tells you otherwise.
• You will not use your operator powers to your advantage.
• You will follow all normal player rules.

Specific Actions
These are actions that we feel must be specifically stated as against the rules. They include things that people have used "I didn't know as an excuse for".

• Do not egg bomb people's bases. Chickens can get out of hand very fast.
• Don't destroy unclaimed stuff on the borders of claimed areas. It's appreciated if you give people some time to expand claim into their new creations

Edit Log:

• September 30, 2021, 04:47:39 pm - Condensed staff rules into a single "Operator" section, as we probably won't be using ranks that much this time around. Removed rules for mods that are no longer in the pack. Clarified anti-x-ray rule to not include things intentionally in a pack.

Development / [NOTICE] All developers please update your remotes!

« on: June 21, 2016, 01:31:00 am »

All developers please update the remotes on your git repositories. We have moved the server onto a more powerful box, and as such the URL has changed. Log into the Gitlab in order to be given the new URL. The old URL will work fine for web access, however your repositories won't be able to contact the server unless the remote's url is changed.

General Discussion / Anyone play DEFCON?

« on: April 17, 2016, 05:29:36 pm »

From what I've seen it might be fairly cheap to setup a small server for this. Anyone interested?

For those of you who don't know, DEFCON is a nuclear war RTS game. Link here.

Announcements / The Big Server Restart

« on: February 05, 2016, 11:22:51 pm »

Hello everyone, we've found some cheap hosting for the server to the point where we will be able to cover 1 month for half the price of our previous server. Before we start, I'd like to know if there's still interest in running a server. If you are interested please feel free to chip in a few bucks so I can get a new server started.

Announcements / Website Restored

I've gotten the forums running again. Hopefully we'll be able to keep them running for quite a while.

Announcements / The End

« on: January 10, 2016, 09:51:45 pm »

Hey everybody, I've got some bad news. By the time most of you see this there will be less than 4 days left to reach our donation goal. As such I've decided to call it, I'm not going to be able to keep the server running much longer. At the moment I can keep the GMod running for a few more days and will probably be able to keep the forums up for maybe a month, once I move things around on our hosting. The Space Engineers is prepaid and so will continue to run for about 18 days. All the servers will be backed up so that they can be easily restored in the future. This is not the end! We will try to return in the future, though when that will be is another question entirely.


I've decided to try and run one last admin event, to say goodbye to everyone. The exact date is TBA.


It's been a great year and a half with all of you, and I'm very sad to have to do this.


Special thanks to:

• All our staff members for sticking with us, and helping make BloxGaming what it was.
• @UncivilizedFrog for his work on Ship Cores
• Nighthawk for all his help in managing the server
• Everyone who donated to help us keep the server running
• And last but not least, all of our players - without you we never would've achieved anything.

Announcements / Important News!

« on: January 02, 2016, 10:36:58 am »

As many of you are aware we are 100% donation funded here at BloxGaming, as such donations are very important. So far we have only raised $10 of our $70 goal. We have 13 days to get the remaining $60 or the server will be in danger of shutting down.

Announcements / Update on the Upgrade

« on: December 19, 2015, 06:34:53 pm »

We're going to be upgrading, but it will be delayed for a while because there isn't enough space at our host's US data centers for the package we plan to get at the moment.

Announcements / Server Upgrades (maybe)

« on: December 15, 2015, 02:41:41 pm »

Hello everyone! I'd just like to let you know that we're planing on upgrading the server soon. Its a minor upgrade, but its a switch to fully dedicated vCPU's which means we should get better performance and more stable serverside FPS. However this will raise the amount of money we need each month by $20, for a total donation goal of $70 a month. While I can handle some of this for the time being, it would mean that donations would become even more important. I'd like to get your opinion on whether or not we should go through with this.
