WARDOGS Community Server Rules
WARDOGS is built around local voice, three-team conflict and player-driven tactics. A community server should publish the boundaries before the first full match, not invent them after the first dispute.
Write the rules players actually need
| Area | Policy to clarify |
|---|---|
| Voice | Harassment, spam, slurs and recording expectations. |
| Team play | Collusion, intentional team disruption and event rules. |
| Gameplay | Exploits, cheats, griefing and destruction abuse. |
| Moderation | Evidence, sanctions, appeals and staff accountability. |
Launch with trust
- Give moderators narrow, auditable powers.
- Announce restarts and scheduled events.
- Keep a public rules link in the server description or Discord.
- Review rules after the first real playtest instead of overregulating in advance.
A 100-player server amplifies unclear rules. A short, visible policy is more useful than a long document that players cannot find.
