## ๐Ÿ“œ Defiance Community Rules & Code of Conduct

Welcome to **Defiance**. By participating in our game and community spaces, you agree to abide by these rules to ensure a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all players. Breaches of these rules will be dealt with accordingly โ€” ranging from warnings to permanent bans, depending on the severity.

Please review the guidelines below carefully.

---

### ๐Ÿ“Œ General Conduct

**Minor competitive banter** is tolerated within PKing areas due to the nature of competitive play, but excessive, abusive, or targeted harassment will not be permitted.

---

## ๐Ÿ“– Official Rules of Defiance

### Rule 1: **Impersonation**

Players are forbidden from impersonating other community members, especially staff. Impersonation may lead to immediate account sanctions.

---

### Rule 2: **Unauthorized Software & Third-Party Tools**

The use of any cheat clients, macros, auto-clickers, bots, or any external programs that give an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited.

Engaging in activities like kill-boosting, point-farming, or exploiting minigames for unfair PKP or reward gains is not allowed.

### Rule 4: **Offensive Language & Harassment**

Hateful, obscene, or excessively aggressive language directed at others is prohibited, both in public and private communications.

**4b. Discrimination**
Any form of discrimination based on race, gender, religion, orientation, or background will not be tolerated.

---

### Rule 5: **Account Security & Scamming**

Accessing, stealing, or tampering with another playerโ€™s account is strictly forbidden.

**5b. Scamming**
Luring, item scams, or trust trades under false pretenses are not permitted. Trading screen swaps or rule changes in duels are part of the game โ€” but repeated, large-scale abuse may result in penalties.

### Rule 6: **Bug Abuse**

Exploiting bugs or glitches for personal gain disrupts fair play. Any discovered exploits must be reported to staff immediately.

Promoting other servers, websites, or Discords without approval is prohibited and may result in an immediate ban.

* Bans on both in-game and Discord platforms, up to permanent bans based on severity
