CTRL/Fire Rules

CTRL/Fire Rules

Rules // CTRL/Fire

Our goal is disciplined, immersive, and fair gameplay across all CTRL/Fire services (servers, Discord, and website). By participating, you agree to follow these rules and staff directions. Violations may lead to removal from the server(s) and/or community.


1) Core Conduct

  • Respect first. No harassment, hate speech, personal attacks, doxxing, or discrimination.
  • Follow staff directions. Staff decisions are final on-session; use the appeal process for disputes.
  • Play the objective. No griefing, trolling, or intentional team disruption.
  • Keep it clean. Names, avatars, sprays, and profile content must be SFW and non-offensive.
  • One account per person while connected to our servers (no evasive alts).

2) Comms Protocol

  • Clear, relevant comms. Use channels for their intended purpose; avoid spam and hot-mic.
  • No slurs or toxicity. Heated moments happen—keep comms professional.
  • Chain of command. Squad leads/command channels get priority. Follow briefing, ROE, and callouts.

3) Gameplay Standards

  • No cheating or third-party advantage tools. This includes macros, ESP, aimbots, recoil scripts, or modified clients.
  • No bug/glitch/exploit abuse. Report issues privately to staff; do not demonstrate them in public play.
  • Team balance & role integrity. Don’t stack for stomps; respect role limits and kit intent.
  • Stream sniping & ghosting are prohibited. Treat active streams like live operations.

4) Discord & Website

  • Follow channel topics and pinned SOPs. Use tickets for reports, appeals, and admin requests.
  • No unsolicited ads. Partnering requires staff approval. No server poaching or mass DMs.
  • Privacy. Do not share personal information, logs, or staff discussions outside approved channels.

5) Age & Recording

  • Age minimum: 16+ unless a game’s rating or platform requires older.
  • Recording/streaming allowed unless an admin designates a session “no-record” (training/intel). Obey local laws and platform rules.

6) Server-Specific Addenda

Insurgency: Sandstorm — No spawn camping beyond clearly marked lines; respect objective flow and kit restrictions. Friendly fire: follow ROE.

Arma Reforger (Fallujah Conflict) — Follow briefings and slotting. Air/armor use requires lead approval. Don’t commandeer logistics assets without tasking.

Ground Branch — Safety on in staging; no intentional flash/team damage. Training nights may impose additional rules.

7) Enforcement & Penalties

Staff may act immediately to stabilize a situation. Evidence is logged when possible. Penalties scale with severity and prior history.

Offense Type Typical Action
Minor disruption, mic spam, off-topic comms Warning → 30–120 min mute/kick
Targeted toxicity, slurs, griefing, team sabotage Kick/24–72 hr ban; longer on repeat
Cheating, exploit abuse, ban evasion Permanent ban (appeal required for review)
Advertising/poaching, mass DMs, doxxing 7–30 day ban; permanent if severe

8) Reports & Appeals

  • Use the Support portal to file reports or start an appeal.
  • Include evidence when possible (clip, screenshot, SteamID, server, timestamp).
  • Appeals are reviewed by CTRL/Command; serious cases may escalate to CTRL/Overwatch.

TL;DR

Be respectful, follow the plan, keep comms clean, play fair, and listen to staff. When in doubt—ask.
