To maintain a fair and immersive experience for all players, the following rules apply regarding advertising, promotion, and the organization of structured events:

2.1 General Advertising Restrictions

• Any form of advertising or promotion—whether through text chat, voice chat (including local or radio), or other in-game methods—is strictly prohibited without express written permission from Integrity Gaming’s Executive Director.

• This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Promotion of clans, groups, milsim units, or other organizations (formal or informal)

  • Sharing of websites, Discord servers, or other community links

  • Recruitment or solicitation for non-approved groups

2.2 Streamers and Content Creators

• Only streamers designated as Partner Streamers may promote their content on our servers or in Discord. Supporting Streamers have opportunities for promotion which must be approved and coordinated with our staff.

• These limitations often exist to ensure fairness and ensure proper compliance with our contracts with our Partner Streamers.

2.3 Event Organization and Server Coordination

• Any attempt to organize a structured event (e.g., coordinated group actions, raids, roleplay scenarios, etc.) or to take over the server for a planned activity without prior approval is prohibited.

• All event proposals involving third-party organizations, content creators, or off-server coordination must be submitted in advance to our Events Director for review and approval.

• Unauthorized attempts to control gameplay flow, alter server dynamics, or use the server as a platform for private events may result in removal or bans.

Note: These policies ensure that server resources are used fairly, gameplay remains consistent for all users, and that our community remains free from unsolicited promotion and off-topic coordination.

Maintaining a functional and enjoyable gameplay environment requires that all players act responsibly and with regard for their teammates. The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

3.1 Intentional Teamkilling (TK)

• Any deliberate teamkilling is grounds for immediate removal or ban.

• This includes:

  • Revenge TKing in response to accidental or intentional harm

  • Preventative TKing based on assumptions about another player’s future actions

  • Requested TKing where a player asks you to kill them because they are glitched or for any other reason whatsoever.

• Simply put, there is zero exceptions for TKing on our servers. Losing equipment or a vehicle is not justification for retaliation. Admins will take swift action to address issues through official channels.

3.2 Friendly Fire & Identification

• Do not intentionally fire on friendly players under any circumstances, as even intentional team wounding is forbidden.

• All players are expected to positively identify (PID) their targets before engaging to avoid unintentional friendly fire as well. Repeated accidental TKing due to negligence or lack of awareness may result in temporary bans.

3.3 Disruptive Conduct & Griefing

• Disruptive behavior that hinders gameplay or negatively impacts the experience of others is not tolerated.

• This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Shooting indiscriminately without a valid target, especially at bases/spawns.

  • Repeatedly honking horns near other players to annoy or distract.

  • Blocking pathways, sabotaging vehicles, or intentionally wasting supplies.

  • Intentionally obstructing objectives, comms, or logistics.

  • Any conduct which is intended to hinder team progression or objectives and disrupt the enjoyment of other players

Note: Disruption can be subjective. If a behavior isn’t clearly listed here but disrupts gameplay, admins have final discretion in taking action.

Music and audio may result in copyright violations or DMCA strikes for streamers and content creators using our servers. To preserve the integrity of gameplay and ensure an inclusive experience for all players, spam in any form is not permitted.

4.1 – Voice Chat Spam

• Broadcasting music or other non-voice audio via local or radio chat is strictly prohibited at all times. This applies regardless of volume or content type. 

• Reasons for this rule include:

  • Such broadcasts can interfere with team coordination and immersion

  • Music and audio may result in copyright violations or DMCA strikes for streamers and content creators using our servers

  • It may disturb players using the server for tactical or immersive play or who simply do not want to hear it.

• Simply put, there is zero exceptions for TKing on our servers. Losing equipment or a vehicle is not justification for retaliation. Admins will take swift action to address issues through official channels.

4.2 – Text Spam and Disruption

• Repeated or excessive use of text chat, including: Posting the same message multiple times or flooding channels with off-topic messages– is considered spam and may result in warnings, mutes, or bans

4.3 – Disruptive Voice Chat

• Voice chat suage that is also excessive or intended to disrupt or repeatedly annoy other players (e.g. yelling into the microphone) is not allowed. This also includes excessive improper uses of voice chat regardless of the gameplay rules which may dictate additional specific requirements.

Using unintended mechanics, glitches, or map features to gain an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited. Integrity Gaming enforces a zero-tolerance policy on exploitation to preserve fairness and gameplay integrity.

5.1 – System & Terrain Glitching

• Exploiting bugs, map geometry, or unintended game mechanics to gain an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited.

• This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Entering rocks, terrain, or structures in a way that allows you to see or shoot out while making you invisible or invulnerable to other players.

  • Abusing inventory, interaction, or respawn mechanics to duplicate gear or supplies.
  • Any sort of other modifications or “hacks” like speed or teleporting mechanics.

• Integrity Gaming also is part of and founder of the Arma Community Bans network and all bans related to the most extreme exploiting/cheating as well as extreme cases of racist and other obscene conduct will also be submitted for inclusion in that system.

5.2 – Bypassing bans & in-game restriction systems

• Circumventing in-game systems such as our Vehicle Access System, pilot restrictions, or faction-locking mechanisms. Any actions to bypass any game bans using alternative accounts is forbidden and will result in escalation to perm bans if done during the duration of a temp ban. Repeated circumventions is a violation of US Federal Law (and many other laws) and will result in potential notices to Internet Service Provider’s respective abuse lines.

5.3 – Stream Sniping

• Watching live streams of players on the opposing team while actively playing on the server is strictly prohibited. This includes any form of stream sniping, whether for strategic advantage, harassment, or curiosity.

• Players must not view any live broadcast of players who are on another team under any circumstances while connected to the server. This undermines fair gameplay and violates the integrity of the match.
• Violations of this rule will result in immediate removal or a permanent ban from the server as we have zero tolerance for such violations.

These rules are contained only online as we cannot modify the Field Manual in anyway to include them online.

Vote kicking with admins online:
Players cannot vote kick when admins are online. Since players may not know, they are required to request admin assistance via GLOBAL CHAT only. Requesting help only in voice chat does not work, as our admins do not always hear it and often cannot be on both teams at the same time.

Piloting Requirements:
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. Repeated crashing and waste of supplies in short periods of times can result in timeouts from flying at the discretion of an admin.

All gameplay rules for our Arma Insurgency servers are contained in-game within the field manual. All of our modded servers also include the Conduct Rules in-game as well.

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.
