While Vendetta Online is a fairly open game, there are still some rules that are enforced. The enforcement is done by the [[#Guides|Guides]] and the [[Glossary#Player_Tactics_and_Dev_Pilot_Names|Developers]]. Some enforcement can also be done by players, using the /vote command.
== Rules ==
There *'''Exploiting A Bug''' - This is not allowed because you are unfairly using a couple of rules that are enforced by bug to your advantage, without reporting it. This can get you banned from the guides((Vendetta's version game for an indefinite amount of Game Masterstime.))*'''Verbally Assaulting Players''' - This causes general unpleasantness. If you do this, a guide will warn you. Should you not listen, you will be temporarily muted. You will still be able to message guides while muted.
Exploiting == Guides ==Guides enforce decent behavior, and also help people with questions and bugs. When a bug can get Guide speaks to you banned about inappropriate behavior, you will recieve a white message from "Guide1234" (numbers vary from Guide to Guide). If you are muted, you can still message the game for an amount of guide by typing:<br>*/msg Guide1234 [message]Abusing this will simply increase the length of time. This isn't allowed because for which you are using a bug to your (unfair) advantage and not reporting itmuted.
Verbally assaulting players is, of course, not allowed. This makes people dislike eachother and makes the game unpleasant to others. If you do this a guide will warn you, if you do not listen you will receive a temporary mute. While muted you will still be able to message the guide.
== Guides ==
Guides be sure people behave, and they also help people with questions about the game and with bugs. When you are spoken to by a guide about inappropriate behavior, there text will appears white and there name will appear as "Guide1234" (numbers vary from guide to guide) if you are muted you can still message the guide by typing:<br>
*/msg Guide1234 (your message)
Abusing this will just increase the amount of time you are muted.
== Duels Players==The generaly accepted rules of If one player is chatting in a duel can range from very simple bus duelsmanner that the other players find disagreeable, they should ideally advise the player to stop doing so. If the player still continues, other players may report the player using /report "name". This will open up an interface to select which message exactly is the offending one. Having selected the post, one must report it in one of three categories: Toxic Chat and Trolling, Spam or Real Life Politics. These are the currently available categories, but if you feel that there is some chat that is wrong but doesn't particularly fit in either of these categories, you have to take a looser definition or simply report it under any category and leave the guides to very complex competitionsdeal with it.<br>
For the basic duel there All reports are seen by the Devs or Guides, who may first issue a few key rules:warning. On persistent offensive behaviour, they may resort to mutes of increasing duration, and in extreme cases to permanent mutes or bans.
#Opponents must have a starting distance of 1000m.#Any requests as to ship type/weapon loadout from either side must be honored. #Docking to rearm/repair and warping out of a sector are regarded as a loss for that pilot.#An issue in any form, be it from collision or self inflicted damage is regarded as a loss for that pilot.#If at any point a ship not involved in the duel fires on or damages any ship, should be destroyed (if possible) by the duelists.[[Category:General Information]]
