TOPIC: [TTT suggestion] Rule clarification / improvement

Server Name:
TTT #1 Minecraft only
Suggestion Title:
Rule clarification / improvement
How would it benefit the server:
It would greatly ease the job of moderators/admins aswell as make the experience for everyone playing better
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Loopholing, avoiding punishment, false punishments and disagreements
Additional notes:
We've already had multiple complaints about unclear rules, and I personally think we need to improve the following

- Diamond block rules ( clarification ) (Taking them in other directions, throwing them away as innocent)
- Healthstation KOS (Do you need to warn etc) (Staff members are not all agreed to the same thing)
- Delaying the round on purpose (We've had lots of trouble with this, and I would like to see a rule implemented)
Mostly for camping in top of the t-room / glitching the second t room, to become unreachable.
- Traitor traps (Do you need to warn, different staff members have given different answers!)

Alot of rules are unclear to moderators and admins ( even super admins sometimes)
Loopholing is a very broad term, and I see people calling themself 74572458harry65347458 KOS ###
stuff that makes it hard to say their name, but also not directly breaking rules. Aka loopholing.

I've talked to some other staff members and they seem to agree,

- We've had some big issues with users cheating and showing up clean through the anticheat, I believe this should also be addressed.

-Prop abuse extra clarity, Are you allowed to use props in any circumstance?
bumping into someone without being close to hazards = prop push?

-Warn by ID - Rumored to not work, but not known for sure/common staff knowledge

These are not all the rules that should be worked on , however this is written an hour pre meeting-
ps. logs break(because of people joining mid round?), shotlog doesnt record magneto stick right click

I will bring this up in the Lead Team meeting.

Thanks for your suggestion.

What do you mean? If the detective announced that only certain people are allowed to use the healthstation, then the rule that is in effect is 2.2b Detective Warnings/KOS Reasons aka allowed.

What do you mean?

1.1a In-Game Names

Use your brain for that one.

Test it out then lmao

To answer most of your questions.

There is no rule that states that players can kos someone for throwing away the Diamond Block, though the detectives can tell someone not to use/ do something.

2.2b Detective Warnings/KOS Reasons.
As a detective, you may issue a warning to players to not do/use something, but you must still use valid KOS reasons, and not make up your own false reasons. Some examples of valid detective KOS reasons are;
Only the detectives can warn/kos someone for using their HealthStation. Again this falls under the rule 2.2b

2.2b Detective Warnings/KOS Reasons.
As a detective, you may issue a warning to players to not do/use something, but you must still use valid KOS reasons, and not make up your own false reasons.


There is no rule that states that you can not delay a round therefore players can do it.


When arming traitor traps its very useful to inform your traitor buddies that you have activated a traitor trap. Though this is not something that you must do at all times. In the end its your loss because if a traitor dies from a t trap you have activated you are more likely to lose the round.


Cheaters can and will only be punished by Super Admins and Head Admins following the Hacking Ethos


Prop Abuse is clearly stated in the rules as "Exploiting"


1.8 Exploiting
Purposely abusing unintentional game features is prohibited. No abusing props (grabbing them with the magneto stick to shield yourself, push players away, kill players, to climb or fly with them etc.) [ The poltergeist traitor weapon other prop manipulating weapons void the no prop killing/pushing rule]

Multiple admins have stated that yo do not even require to warn, as it says "- Using a health station repeatedly without permission." It doesn't say AFTER BEING WARNED. Which is a big difference.
This is exactly the issue im addressing, people intentionally camp traitor room in an ALMOST unreachable spot, because they know they won't get punished.
This i personally agree with, but several staff members attempt to enforce it, telling people the HAVE to warn.
I'm aware of this, however atleast i personally am not sure how far this rule stretches, You say no proppushing, I have so far only punished people that are clearly trying to push someone into a hazard, but in reality you can damage them without pushing them off places. I'm asking for clarification not repeats.
Thank you for clearing that for me, however you should definitely include it

Again in the rules it says

2.2 In-game warnings to players.
When issuing a warning to a player in-game, make sure that it is through the chat medium so that everyone can see it. Make sure that you give the player ample warning (Minimum of 2) after that you may then declare a KOS on because of their actions. An example of this would be if a player is following you through the map, then you can KOS them after warnings have been given. After the second-warning it will not be classed as RDM.

It says that you have to give an in-game warning to a player in order to declare a kos

So to clear it up, You HAVE to warn for using traps, and You HAVE to warn for the healthstation rule to apply.

Kana wrote: No, it is desired to mention that you used the traps but not mandatory.

For the healthstation rule you need to type it in type chat, such as like this: "Using my healthstation is KOS"

Some of these rules do indeed need to be clarified

I forgot to thank you for your really useful reply
