ARMA SERVER RULES
This page contains rules related to our unmodded Arma Reforger servers, which currently is Server #5 & #6 (Conflict: Vanilla). Our modded servers all contain the full server rules (both gameplay and conduct rules) within the Field Manual which you can access while in the respective server. Rules may different between servers, except for our “conduct” rules.
Please be sure to visit our Discord server to submit any Violation Reports in our #conflict-resolution channel. Please include as much information as it requests. This is a great way to ensure we take swift action, especially if admins are not online. In these circumstances, players may use votekick for temp bans of disruptive players.
No Disrespectful or Racist Conduct
All players shall ensure they are respectful and courteous to all players. We do not tolerate hostile and/or toxic conduct from players, or the directed use of obscene or racist language towards other players. This is the quickest way to be banned from our servers and is a much bigger issue compared to players who are not as skilled or even those who intentionally TK. We strive for a respectful, mature, and non-toxic environment. If you have any issue with someone that you feel needs to be addressed request an admin or ignore that player.
Violation Reports can be made via our Discord in the #conflict-resolution channel.
Do not argue or criticize admins (moderators / GM’s), or argue about our established rules, including in voice chat or in text chat. Our admins are not the ones who decide This also goes for using any public chat channels within our Discord (you’ll be banned from Discord and unable to appeal game bans). Doing so only adds to the tension and makes the job hard for our conflict resolution team. Administration, especially on a Vanilla server without any admin mod tools, requires a lot of selfless work.
Advertising / Promoting
Any advertising or promotion is prohibited without the express written permission from Integrity Gaming’s Executive Director. This applies to text chat or voice chat (local voice or radio)
This includes, but not limited to, promoting any clans/groups/milsim or other groups or organizations, informal or formal. This includes websites, discords, etc.
Content creators may not advertise or promote their own streams and content, except for our streamers who have status as a Supporting Streamer or Partner Streamer, and such advertising must be in accordance to guidelines as established and published in our Discord. Generally, repeated posting of this information in chat is not allowed even with such status.
Team Killing Always Prohibited
All intentional team killing of other players is strictly prohibited. This also includes any revenge or preventative TKing and such players engaging in such TKing are also subject to being banned. This ensures the issues do not esculate, and while players may loose some things, they are replaceable. Simply allow others to do what they will do and we will take swift action.
Do not intentionally shoot or do other harm to friendly players. Always ensure you PID targets as excessive accidental TKing may result in temp bans.
No Vote Kicking when Admins Online
Vote Kicking is not allowed when admins are online. You are requested to request an admin in global chat and give at least a minute or two for admins to respond to confirm none are online. In asking type, something like “Admin, Location, Issue”. Do not call out or instigate issues with other players in the request. IF we
Please also ensure that you submit a Violation Report on our Discord server. See the #conflict-resolution channel. Even if admins are online, we must witness it, so helping admins get to you quickly to see recurring TKing issues, etc. will help. Otherwise only a Violation Report will help.
Voice Chat Usage
ENGLISH ONLY: While we welcome and enjoy a very diverse community of players who speak many other languages, communication as a matter of practice needs to remain English. Non-English speaking within a squad that only includes those who speak a particular language is fine. All platoon level and text chat must be in English only.
ENEMY FREQUENCY BROADCASTING: While the server is set to restrict cross-faction communication, there is an exploit to get around this. Broadcasting on enemy radios is prohibited and will result in bans.
PLATOON FREQS & BREVITY: Players should do their best to organize into squads and utilize their squad frequencies. Excessive and needless communication is not allowed on the Platoon frequency, including giving play by plays or when needing to talk with your local squad. Please switch squads when working with a few other players to take objectives, etc. ADMINS ARE EXEMPT WHEN GIVING ANNOUNCEMENTS AND/OR COMMUNICATING TO HANDLE SERVER VIOLATIONS AMONG PLAYERS, SO DO NOT ARGUE OR TELL THEM TO SHUTUP OR YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF KICKED/BANNED
BROADCASTING MUSIC: Players are not permitted to broadcast any music or other third-party content on any radio frequencies. Players may do this on a very limited basis in local chat only, and when away from bases or larger groups unless any player requests them to stop. These issues can cause problems for Streamers by causing copyright strikes and we frequently have streamers on our servers.
Pilot & Aircraft Rules
Piloting requires that you have full voice comms. This means you can transmit, and receive. Pilots are also required to be competent, meaning first-time or new pilots should not practice on the server. Instead practice in single player using GM. Pilots who intentionally crash their helicopters for the purpose of killing friendlies, especially without their permission, is not allowed.
Stuck/Glitched Players & Time/Weather changes (Admin help)
We do not help players who are stuck or glitched in-game. Doing so would create an excessive burden on our limited admin staffing, and wouldn’t be an option when admins are not online. Players MUST respawn when they are stuck or glitched. Once we start doing so for one player will create a precedence for others to want the same help.
Do not continue to ask admins to spawn in vehicles, teleport you or others, or do anything that would constitute unfair play. This also includes changing the time and weather, we will not do it to appeal to individual preferences. Daytime is 4x and nighttime is 12x on our Conflict: Vanilla servers. Persisting to ask admins to do this is disruptive.
Invite Only Server Expectations
PILOTING: While this server also requires a microphone for all players, thus making the microphone rule for this server a bit redundant, we do expect pilots to be somewhat competent. Those who have little experience and feel they need more practice should do so in single-player GM.
Pilots are prohibited from intentionally crashing/ramming into the ground. Ramming mid-air into enemy helicopters is only permitted if the pilot has no friendlies onboard.
VOTE KICKING: Just as with the public servers, vote-kicking is never allowed when an admin is online. Players unsure about an admin online should request in chat. If you believe a player is violating the rules you MUST submit a violation report about it. Vote kicking can only be used for the most extreme circumstances which will hopefully be a very rare circumstance. This would include repeated TKing (especially at a spawn), or constant voice chat spam. After vote kicking, the person starting the vote kick is required to submit a violation report (currently on Discord) in the #conflict-resolution channel. If they use vote kick and fail to do so, they are subject to removal of their Invite.
BROADCASTING MUSIC: Music broadcasting is completely restricted on the server due to the number of expected streamers on the server.
GROUPS: Players are expected not to create a bunch of individual squads, but instead fill existing squads where possible. Players creating squads and also locking them to just themselves will be highly scrutinized by our admin team. Help your team and get organized!
VOICE COMMUNICATION: Players must use in-game voice chat. For console players, this means that you must use in-game voice chat over any “party chat” system. Having additional communication is allowed, so long as the user can use both simultaneously.
