We have a few general rules to ensure that everyone can have a good time while playing on The Pro SMP Network. Please take the time to read and understand them to avoid any problems while playing on the server and ensure everyone has as much fun as possible. If you have questions about one of the rules, feel free to reach out to a helper or admin!
The rules on this page apply everywhere on The Pro SMP Network (even on anarchy), both on our Minecraft server and in the Discord server!
Good to know: contributors get the same care as any other player. Donators aren’t invincible against the rules and don’t get softer punishments or a special treatment by our staff.
Some of our servers also have their own rules in addition to the global rules on this page. Please take knowledge of them before playing on these servers!
Rule 1.1 Be nice to others and use common sense, don’t ruin the good vibe
There’s no room for cyberbullying, harassment, toxicity and saltiness on this server. We enforce a zero tolerance policy against this behaviour and will not tolerate it at all.
Rule 1.2 Have some respect for our staff members
Unlike many other Minecraft servers with the scale of infrastructure and organisation like we have, we do not earn a single penny with our work. Everyone in the team, from helpers to lobby builders and from wiki contributors to admins, are here with just one shared goal: providing you a good time. We spend our valuable time, resources and money in making this ambition a reality, and all we ask in return is your respects. You’re free to dislike us as a person, but any disrespectful behaviour to the staff positions that our people have is unwanted and will be punished. In line with rule 1.1, you should use your common sense and humanity when playing on our network.
Rule 1.3 Try to keep the server running smoothly
Do not purposefully (attempt to) cause server performance issues or server crashes. It is can disturb the experience of other players and in some rare cases it can even do irreversable damage to the servers.
We also enforce a zero tolerance policy against activities that severely damage the server, such as backdooring, exploiting (outside of anarchy) and performing cyber attacks such as (D)DoS attacks. In case of the latter we will be contacting your ISP’s abuse department and in severe cases even filling reports at law enforcement.
Rule 1.4 Allow the staff team to do their job
The admins are responsible for enforcing the rules, you are not. If you see someone breaking the rules, please report the occurance to a staff member. Do not take action yourself! Do not hinder the admins in their job of enforcing the rules. If you disagree with a decision taken by them, contact one of the admins directly.
In case of an emergency (like griefing on large scale, lag machines or raids), please ping both the helper and admin roles in Discord. Helpers are authorized to enforce the rules in case of an emergency.
Rule 1.5 Ensure that you abide by our age requirements
We do not allow players under the age of 13 on The Pro SMP Network. Furthermore, players who live in the European Union need authorisation from their legal parents or guardian if they are younger than the age of consent of their country.
We assume that all players stick to this rule. If we discover that a player violates this rule, we will immediately terminate their access to all of our properties. If you believe that someone violates this rule, please contact an admin immediately with evidence.
