These are the rules for my Server and Forum. Luckily, they're all pretty common since when it comes down to it, but sadly I must still post and enforce them like they aren't. At any point in time you have an issue or question about these rules, feel free to ask any member of staff!

Rule 1: Server and Forum
Respect others players, their property, builds and their beliefs. This will be a world wide server, and i will allow anyone to join, regardless of age, gender, religious beliefs, or sexual preference. I am a completely open person and I have no issue with anything a person does in their spare time. They way a person live is their own choice and at no time should they be held accountable by any other person on this server. The only People anyone on this server has to answer to is me and my Staff, so i ask players to keep their judgements to themselves unless you are being asked for them. And i don't mean in the since of "They're asking for it" but in the way that a player asks for you opinion!
DO NOT BULLY ANYONE! I have a very strong stance against bullying, and I WILL BAN people who want to bully others. THIS WILL BE THE ONLY WARNING.
Also, If a player is harassing you, talk to me, talk to a member of staff, talk to anyone you can. But PLEASE! don't sit silent like it will go away. And please don't retaliate, cause often that doesn't make things better as cliche as it sounds.
HOWEVER; please understand that, this is a PVP server, People will be after you and the items you carry, every step step you take will be dangerous. But if at any point you feel that someone is targeting you for reasons BEYOND PVP GAMEPLAY, such as; race, gender, religion, or sexual preference- Please inform a member of staff immediately.

Rule 2: Server
As you forage for supplies, I ask that you don't just steal the wood out of the tree and leave the leafs behind. This annoys me to no end, cause it only takes a few extra seconds to destroy the tree as a whole, and you get supplies from it! Also, as you remove trees from my worlds, I ask that you please replant a sapling in the place the tree use to grow. When you remove the tree as a whole, you're bound to get at least one sapling, usually more. So do your part and plant one for every one you destroy, Help keep your world green!

Rule 3: Server
TNT is Banned on my server.
Don't ask for it, cause you can't light it anyway. So ahead and try and make it, you'll be disappointed which it wont work. I do, in the future, plan to open up TNT use to Donor Ranks, but currently TNT is completely un-usedable on my server, People have sadly proven time and time again that it can't be trusted.
HOWEVER; there is a comparison that i offer on my server. Gold Donors will be awarded with "Blast Mining" where as a player mines, there is a chance for smaller version of a TNT blast. This is a Skill that is provided through McMMO, but The Gold Donor Rank must be purchased using REAL MONEY!
THIS IS NET YET SETUP!

Rule 4: Server
City permissions, residence acceptance and city theme are all based on the decisions of the City Mayor. I have no control over how the a mayor chooses to run their city. nor do I want that, I've already got more then enough things on my plate with running this server, I don't need my hands in every city, farther then what I have to. City Mayors can choose who they wish to let live, build and help maintain their city; and they may choice to deny players from living in their city is they so choice.
With that being said if you feel like a Mayor is being discriminatory, please let a member of staff know. I know this reties back into Rule One, but I DON'T ALLOW DISCRIMINATION! And I'll continue to annoyingly pound it into player's heads. This is a game that brings the ages together! I know people as young as 4, and as old as 50 that play Minecraft- so we players must understand that this game boosts a large demographic.
And I invite everyone to play!
And remember, if a Mayor above you isn't what you like, You can just make yourself a mayor!

Rule 5: Server and Forum
The staff at PTZRealms is very giving. There will be a lot of times that we will give you items, armor, money or XP.
Enjoy it, but please, don't beg for it. Do not seek out these gifts and beg staff to get them, I can promise it will make you much less likely to get them.
We need help, meaning that there is plenty of ways to earn items, money and XP. If you low on cash, ask around, see if anyone needs some help. You might get stuck with with leveling some ground, but in the end you might also get stuck with $500. Ask any Mayor, A Member of Staff, ANYONE! jobs are you there. And if you can't kind any, go slay some mobs! Almost every mob drops some kinda of money, and any item you can scrounge up can be sold in Nocturnis as well as other cities! Money is never in short supply!

Rule 6: Server and Forum
Try and keep swearing to a minimum.
In eventuality, this shouldn't be an issue because i plan to get a plugin to block swearing. Also, try not to say obscene things in chat and public signs, People of all ages are allowed on my server, and a rotting video games are to a child's mind, I don't need to corrupt it to! Try to keep yourself wholesome in conduct, and try to act mature, for the sake of the children and my sanity! I also ask you keep obscene posts off the forum to, if you're having a personal conversation with someone through PM, say what ever you like, but i don't want it out in public view!
But currently, I ask you to keep the swearing on the down-low. If you in an McMMO Party Chat between people you know, swear away. But while you're in global chat, keep to out!

Rule 7: Server and Forum
Do Not Ask for OP, Promotion, Staff Positions or anything of the sort.
If you ask, you shall not receive!
Unless I have promised you something, you've got no reason to ask. Promotions will come automatically with time, I'm the only OP so that will never happen, and while yes I am always looking for good staff - that must be proven!
So if you want to be part of my staff, start proving yourself!
ALSO, do not ask for any kinda of Donor Status FREE OF CHARGE. Some players WILL BE gifted Donor Status for helping the server, promoting, and playing PRIOR to launch.
I DO NOT PROMISE THESE RANKS TO ANYONE!
But if a player does the Server Services, they may or may not be gifted items, exp, money or promotions. But at no point are any of these things promised and there is no guarantee the that anything you do on my server will get to these promotions! If i deem you worthy of them, then you shall receive them- otherwise you will have to purchase them! If being a Donor or Member of Staff interests you, you MUST EARN IT OR PURCHASE IT!

Rule 8: Server and Forum
Have fun.
It's really what it'll all about. This is a game, and no matter how addictive of a game it is, it's still just a game.
Try not to get so caught up in it, and just enjoy it! Just try and keep it civil!
