Enemy Down

Fair Play Policy

Questions

General Play

1. Often during a difficult match or conflict you may need to make a compromise with another clan or with an admin if appropriate. To make your matches as smooth as possible everyone should try to be open to compromise as you may want another clan to compromise with you one day.

2. We ask that all players treat each other and admins with respect and do not engage in personal attacks and baseless accusations.

3. Clan leaders are ultimately responsible for their entire clan and all of their clan members. They should ensure to the best of their abilities that their clan know and follows all the rules of Enemy Down, Failure to do this may result in the clan leader being punished or the clan removed. The clan leader should also set the example for their clan.

4. Impersonating an ED admin is strictly forbidden. This includes inside or outside of ED matches. People who are found to be doing this will be removed immediately.

5. All of Enemy Downs members should be tolerant of all other members respecting their beliefs, culture, race, sex etc. Respect should always be mutually given. You should also not impersonate other people.

6. Different games have different age restrictions. Due to the nature of the internet it is very difficult for EnemyDown to ascertain someone's true age. It is not quite as hard for Clans to find out that information. We ask clan leaders to act accordingly when they find out they have people playing for them who are under the recommended age for any particular game.

Cheating Accusations

1. Conflicts will be made available to the opposing clan leader for review so they can investigate their clan privately. Any posts relating to the conflict will be removed immediately if they are posted without the approval of an admin.

2. Admins will review the evidence; an admin will request the evidence from individuals or clans.

3. Cheating accusations are reviewed by a team of admins, and so not one personal opinion is taken into account. A secondary team of admins may review the case upon appeal, but should the resultant opinion be inconclusive the case will be passed onto www.steambans.com who will then review the case and provide another opinion. This is only available to game types which are covered by steambans.

4. Once a decision has been made and agreed, an attempt to contact the CL of the accused player will be made before the conflict is completed, this is to give the CL the chance to remove the player from their clan, so as not to minimize damage to their reputation.

5. Accusations should not be made on the forums. Please contact an admin first.

Punishment Procedure

1. Individuals caught cheating will be banned from Enemy Down.

2. Clan leaders or Deputies caught cheating will be banned and the clan will be looked into with a view to removing it as a CL who may use players that cheat or abuse other rules, i.e. Unique IDs, etc. This brings all the clans results into question and the will be considered for removal from the entire ladder.

3. If a clan has a large number of or a high percentage of players that have been found to be cheating, should again, be considered for removal from the entire ladder.

4. An attempt to circumnavigate any punishment will not be tolerated.

Retraction Procedure

1. Hopefully there should be no need for retractions but, if there is, they will be made publicly and quickly, reasons will be given for our decisions, we will do so via a post on the forum.

2. Admins decisions are final.
