Laming the map will be defined as:
hoth map

-Hoth lift laming (not applicable to calling the lift up if reborn boss is trying to escape the data room)
-Hoth Command Center laming (using a bug to destroy the CC while you were on defense)

Desert map:
-Desert parts laming (purposefully, this rarely happens of ill intent, but stating it anyways)
-This can also extend to purposeful sabotage of your team, like purposefully stepping on your team's mines consistently, but this will be up to admin discretion to determine.
- yews bikes to blow stations if u are on Deffense team, that’s for all objectives, do not sabotage your team on purpose
2. No Objective Skipping. (A kickable offense)
Objective skipping will be defined as:

-Jumping through the hole in the Desert wall objective
-Completing the shields objective before the arena objectives on Desert
- Completing the stations objective before the wall objective on Desert
-All forms of butlering are prohibited (Using pull or making a noob lead you through the backdoors of a map)

This will be defined as:

Shield spamming will be defined as:

- There is 2 jans limit (3 if server is full, that means 12 vs 12 or more sometimes)
-Purposefully falling into ravine/other natural deaths (Up to admin discretion to determine if it is just a noob who did it by accident or Elite Ranger up to his antics)
-Anything else goes
Chat Spam
You are allowed to talk whenever you want and about what ever you want, but you cant spamm your binds and prevent the players concentrate on the game, if someone tell you to shut up, please do
Things that are allowed
ALL LANGUAGES.
It kind of pisses me off that people think english should be the universal language, and that other people should not be allowed to speak other languages in other people's company, and I am not even "fluent" in any other language.
Free speech short of rule 3.
-If you think the admins are c***suckers, you are free to say it.
-If you think you are the greatest sieger to grace the game, you are free to say it
Spamming.
You guys may not want to hear it, but sadly spam will always have its place in siege's heart, somewhere. For the reason why, here is what I wrote to MeR on another thread:
GUARD!AN wrote:I sadly cannot in good faith write a no-spam rule, because spam itself is waaaay too ambiguous and VERY relative, as it has constantly been redefined and redefined over and over again throughout siege history, ever since TD started spam's mainstream dissent.
I also consider it a necessary evil for new players to yews as a crutch to keep up with veteran players until they obtain skill, as even me and tensor were once noobs who spammed (I spammed up U2 while Gbob kept me ammo'd, and tensor of course is the reason jans are not allowed to self kill AT ALL anymore LOL)
Anyway as even if spamm is allowed,this is something that we as community would like to see on you as players, DO NOT SPAM BLATANTLY so you and everybody will have a good game, the only things about spam is not allowed is wrote above this
Teamswitching.
- you are allowed to be on the team that you want to be, but do not stack teams on purpose
- we will appreciate if u want to switch team to unstack
Spec point jacking.
I'm not honestly going to enforce something as trivial as this.
REMEMBER AN ADMIN IS ALWAYS GOING TO WARN YOU BEFORE TAKING ACTION
