    §1c Do not use third party programs to crash and/or lag the server
    §1d Our admins are perfectly capable of detecting people breaking rules themselves, please keep the backseat moderating to a minimum
    §1e Do not abuse the !report / !calladmin system for "joking" purposes
    §1f You may only change your name 8 times per each 5 minute period. Changing it more often than that will result in a automatic permanent ban
    §1g The use of gameplay-altering macros, such as auto-fire, bunny hop (or others that give an unfair advantage), is prohibited

    §2 Chat & Voice
    §2a No racism or discrimination of any kind. This includes sprays too
    §2b No nazism
    §2c Linking to sites in chat / voice for the purpose of advertising is not tolerated. Other links are at our discretion
    §2d Swearing is allowed but please keep it to a minimum
    §2e Do not spam the chat and radio commands
    §2f Do not spam the microphone (this includes music and sounds). A user is allowed to play music through the microphone only if the admin(s) currently online give(s) clearance to do so
    §2g Only English and German in the text chat
    §2h Only English in the voice chat.
    §2i The usage of any form of "text-to-speech" software is prohibited
    §2j Do not be annoying in voice chat, especially do not interrupt other people - wait for your turn to speak

    §3 Additional behavioural / gameplay rules

    §3a No begging for items
    §3b Pornographic sprays are not allowed (Pedophile sprays will result in immediate perm ban)
    §3c Do not promote LMAOBOX (or any other hack) in any way. Jokes such as "lunchbox" are fine, but not the exact term
    §3d No spawncamping
    §3e Do not harass and/or insult other players

    §4 Other
    §4a All temporary bans are warnings, and the accumulation of two temporary bans within 2 months will cause you to be permanently banned
    §4b No partying*, unless the server is below 50% of its capacity, except are Trade, Jailbreak and Achievement servers. Partying on VSH is never allowed (see also the VSH-specific rule thread).
    * partying = congaing, not fighting, possibly teaming up with the enemy team, generally messing around

    All bans are at the discretion of the administrators, whether they do or do not conform to the rules listed.

    §5 Achievement / Idle - specific rules
    §5a No teleport camping
    §5b Only kill in the idlers room with a strange weapon and/or cosmetic

    §5d Do not permanently enable +attack (as in, directly type into the console) while you are idle

    §6 Trade / Idle - specific rules
    §7a No doorblocking from/in the godmode room (Griefing)

    Ban proceeding

    Major refactoring:
    - Fixed formatting errors induced by the forum migration back in October
    - Re-structured rules / uncentered everything except the the title
    - Grouped rules together in "groups" and paragraphed them (§1a, §2b, etc.)
    - Added missing entries to the "Ban proceedings" area (everything which we ban for is now listed)
    - Added public rule for advertising sites in names (with link to exception list)
    - Added "Nazism" rule as its own one (to clear up any confusion)
    - Added some other missing rules (which were indirectly covered by other rules already)

    Update:
    Removed rule §4a, no advertising of links in name.
    All bans that I could find have been retroactively removed, any missed ones can be appealed.
