Link to main FAF rulepost: http://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.p ... 47#p166447
Upon using any of the following, you may be warned once; the second time is a ban from faf for a month; third is for 6 months; Final will be a ban from FAF, indefinitely.
You can appeal these.
This also includes any cheating involving changing rating. Examples include having friends donate rating, multiple accounts to donate rating, etc.
These ^ above rules will completely come into effect after 20/01/2016 (20th Jan, 2016) to allow time.
They can and will be changed on case to case basis.
Do not take them as exact.
Though before this time if you are told not to continue exploits, and it happens, don't expect not to be banned.
Things will get added with no prior notice.
- offmapping in order to hide units in any way.
- Using terraforming intentionally to block units/mess with pathfinding, also flattening an obstacle to allow units through is not allowed.
- Using unit interactions to abuse pathfinding e.g moving a unit up or down a cliff, similar to terraforming
- Blocking or causing the game to slowdown or lag on purpose.
- Uploading or using a blatant "cheat" map (ie. with tons of wrecks on only one side of the map)
- Using any modifications to see through the fog of war
- The bug that allows rebuilding of units that were in production at a cheaper cost.
- Walking with ACU while upgrading. On purpose, that is. Walking with ACU/Engies and building would fall under this if anyone figures out how to do it.
- Making invincible units.
- Causing drops to die by building underneath.
- Making units regenerate life/shields without a mechanic i.e natural health regen or veterancy
- Anything else that is breaking the game in some fashion.
- Glitching to get a HoverACU.
- Giving bases to avoid damage by enemy ythotha storm.
- Any bug that creates mass and energy out of nothing.
- Creating structures within structures, or their footprint. Adjacent to mex issues are not included in this, as it's an unintended consequence of another change, hopefully fixed soon.
- Pausing to try and gain some advantage i.e dodging snipes.
- A not ingame bug, but don't host rated FFA or rated X v Y games, (uneven games)
- Don't play on multiple accounts in the same game.
- Using any script to alter information shown to the lobby/client or game
- Using a mod (or any other way) on a map with random spawns that shows exactly which player has which start point and faction.
- Using ctrl+K to avoid taking damage on the unit wreck.
- Intentionally transferring unit control to allies to mess with enemy unit orders and targeting.
- Using Novax (satellite) to destroy nukes on top of the nuke launcher
