Don't destroy others' builds or bases without permission.

No hacked clients, x-ray, duplication exploits, or unfair advantages.

🔥 Fire = Competitive but sportsmanlike
❄️ Frost = Collaborative and supportive
**6. Staff Decisions are Final**
Respect staff decisions. Disagreements? DM staff privately.
**7. No Advertising**
Don't advertise other servers, Discord servers, or services without permission.
**8. English Primary**
English is the main language. Other languages OK in private channels.
