Rules of conduct for bf1
Where are the rules of conduct for renting a server for bf1
As far as I'm aware there are no fully separate Rules of Conduct for server owners. There are two documents server admins have to follow, just like everyone else:
1) BF1 Rules of Conduct (http://tos.ea.com/legalapp/ROC/US/en/PC/BF1) - they have a brief paragraph about server administrators. The bottom line there is, admins have to follow the Rules of Conduct both as players and while performing admin actions. I've put the relevant paragraphs in spoiler below:
SpoilerThe following are some examples of conduct not permitted by the TOS, they are not a complete list of prohibited behaviors and you should refer to the TOS for further details:
- You are not permitted to use offensive soldier names or tags.
- You must not actively encourage other players to violate the TOS.
- You must not organize any groups that are based on, or espouse, any racist, sexist, anti-religious, anti-ethnic, anti-gay, or other hate-mongering philosophy.
- You must not attempt to interfere with, hack into, or decipher any data streams or transmissions to or from Battlefield 1 online services, or use any application or software while using the services which are not approved by EA.
- You must not exploit any bug or abuse any game system (such as the scoring or award systems) in Battlefield 1 including but not limited to:
- Intentionally using or sharing any bug found within Battlefield 1, real or fictitious, regardless of whether or not it grants an unfair advantage.
- Directly or indirectly communicating the existence of any such bug to any other user of Battlefield 1.
- Examples of abuse in in servers collecting stats in violation of the TOS include, but are not limited to:
- Taking turns killing, reviving, receiving ammo etc.
- Abusing world geometry to your advantage without risk
- Exploiting vehicle damage to repair indefinitely
- Creating a play environment which, by definition or action, creates an inflated scoring scenario such as 'flagrun'
If you are an administrator of a Battlefield 1 Server ("Server Administrator"), in addition to the above, you must also comply with the TOS in respect of your activities as a Server Administrator.
For the avoidance of doubt, Server Administrators will also violate the TOS if they (i) use offensive server names, descriptions, messages, server art or tags; or (ii) encourage other players to violate the TOS.2) EA Terms of Service (https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/) - they encompass pretty much everything about access and use of games and services provided by EA. I'd say that section 6 (Rules of Conduct) is the most important here.
That's about all there is.
