PSO Palace & Sylverant PSO Server Rules

Herein lie the rules for all of the Sylverant system, as legislated by the administrators of the Three Ships:

• 0. Thou shalt only make rules that begin with "Thou shalt".
  
• 1. Thou shalt not disrupt the normal functioning of the server. This includeth any sort of Denial of Service attacks (including DDoS attacks), attempts to exploit server bugs, as well as any other attacks that would disrupt the stability of the server. If thou dost find any potentially disruptive bugs, thou shalt report them forthwith to the server staff.
  
• 2. Thou shalt attempt to make peace with thy fellow man before reporting him to the staff.
  
• 3. Thou shalt not use unauthorized client modifications. The administration of each Ship defineth the legitimate client modifications therein.
  
• 4. Thou shalt respect the judgement of each Ship's legitimacy checker. If a player passeth the check, thou shalt not ask that player to exit thy Team. If thou dost not accept the accuracy of the legitimacy checker's judgements, it is thy responsibility to make a new Team with a password.

• Corollary 1: Thou shalt not question the legitimacy of items dropped by the server.
  
• Corollary 2: Thou shalt not question the legitimacy of any player using authorized client modifications, so long as he passeth the legitimacy check of the Ship wherein he currently resideth.
  
• Corollary 3: Thou shalt not question the legitimacy of any player that hath played with players using authorized client modifications (of any authorized Ship of the Sylverant system), so long as he passeth the legitimacy check of the Ship wherein he currently resideth.

• 5. Thou shalt not spam or harass thy fellow man in Teams or lobbies with unsolicited communications.
  
• 6. Thou shalt not affront thy fellow man.

• Corollary 1: Thou shalt not take possession of thy fellow man’s belongings without his explicit permission.
  
• Corollary 2: Thou shalt not use language meant to insult or disparage thy fellow man on the basis of his sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or any other similar characteristic. This includeth not only in direct communications but also in team names, character names, and in private communications.

• 7. Thou shalt not plunder the server's content thyself nor appropriate previously plundered content for thine own purposes.
  
• 8. Thou shalt abide by these rules. Thou shalt not question these rules nor spurn their sanctity. Thy continued use of the Sylverant server constitutes thine acceptance of these rules and thy compliance with them henceforth.
  
• 9. Thou shalt abide by any future versions of these rules as they are implemented.
