Voice Servers – TeamSpeak
Teamspeak Acceptable User Policy: User (Registered)
We appreciate the fact you have chosen to use our Teamspeak Communication Server, although, there are some guidelines we expect users to follow in order to maintain a clean and peaceful environment. The guidelines are as follows:
- Users are to act with maturity in Public Channels
- Users should not swear in public channels unless the description has a language warning.
- If a Server Administrator asks you to do something (or stop doing it) then please, abide by their request.
- Users will be banned if they come in under an admins name
- Users will be time banned for flooding the teamspeak server
Channel Administrator (Registered Channel Administrator)
Channel Administrators, you also have a set of guidelines you must follow in order to maintain the peace, because you have power doesnt give you the right to abuse it.
- Channel Administrators have the right to remove players from their channel, as long as their reason is just.
- Channel Administrators will not kick players from channel for fun.
- Channel Administrators will provide a decent reason when kicking a player.
- 'Senior Server Administrators (Or Senior Admins)' have the right to remove your rights if they see fit.
Server Administrator (Registered Server Administrator)
Server Administrators also have a set of guidelines they must follow:
- Server Admins must not enter passworded rooms, unless absolutely needed, they shall enter but immediately
announce they have entered and why they have entered to all persons in the channel.
- Server Admins must not drag players around the server for fun
- Server Admins must not give out passwords to private channels or Admin channels to users
- Server Admins must not ban or kick players unless there’s a valid reason
- Server Admins should report any activities (Suspicious, Creating channels, Banning Users, Kicking users etc) to Senior Best GN’s Administrators.
In a nutshell, Bad behavior and a potty mouth will not be tolerated in the Best GN Teamspeak Server, neither will abuse (General and power abuse).
Follow these simple guidelines and you will not be troubled by the Admins. Best GN provide the Communications server to you for free, and monitor these servers as volunteer's, so the least you can do is help us, help you. Have fun and keepit peaceful
