List of banned exploits or bug abuses.

[Ze_PilOt]

The first time you are caught using them will result in a immediate reset of both your rank (unless they are really poor, in that case, it will be poorer).
The second time will be a month banned from FAF.
The third time is a definitive ban from FAF.

We have a zero tolerance policy about that, so report any players doing it, even if you saw it only in livereplay. Give the UID of the game so we can check.

- Terraforming
Using terraforming to allow you to block some units/mess with the pathfinding is not allowed.
Terraforming to allow to flatten an obstacle and get some units through is tolerated but not nice.

- The bug that allows instant-capture of building/units.
I'm not talking of capturing very fast with hives. I won't explain much further how to do it.

-The bug that allows buildings to be constructed for free.
It's obvious if someone is doing it, you can't miss that on replay.

- The glitch that allows you to shoot to any distance.
Can be done without knowing, but using it on purpose is rather obvious and banned.

- Blocking or making the game lag on purpose.

- Uploading or using a blatant "cheat" map (ie. with tons of wrecks on only one side of the map).

- Using any ACU upgrade bug that allows free upgrades. (Note that this may in fact result in an immediate ban, especially when the exploit in question is the one mentioned here)

can i ask something....i saw in one game somebody who build a spiderbot after 5 minute of game start ....this is normal?

[Ze_PilOt]

Without any replay, no idea.

im not sure its even possible with unlimited ress considering the build times

The quickest I've seen was a Setons game where the front player had a monkey lord in 8 mins.
He got lots of help from the other 2-3 players.

I did see a Galactic Colossus within 15 mins on a 1v1 though.

If the other team doesn't scout at all, it's well deserved. It would probably work against some eco-ing alliances hehe

-The bug that allows buildings to be constructed for free.
It's obvious if someone is doing it, you can't miss that on replay.

i have no idea how this is done but it has happened to me a few times.
ppl might not be aware that they are doing it... or how it is done so yea dunno about this bug man

[FunkOff]

i have no idea how this is done but it has happened to me a few times.

Then post a replay of it occurring.

[uberge3k]

Correction: PM one of the moderators with a replay of it occurring. It's best if how to use that bug isn't spread any more than absolutely necessary.

You'll be able to tell yourself if it is indeed an exploit in the replay - it's super, super obvious.

Are any of these fixable? Or are they all permanent features of the underlying engine?
