Going forward:
Today, 1/14/2023, I (galleri) have added more clarification to the server rules. Also added in more to one thread so it is not lumped in different places.

(regarding "spirit of the rules")

-Joint KR (killrun) will get you deleted.
-Sharing an op with an in game ally/
-having an offensive ally and both grabbing will generally not.
-Land trading also falls in the coordination category. It will get you deleted.
-Having your friends and yourself target one specific player set after set to ruin it for them...IS COORDINATION and harassment.
-You will be deleted.
-Offering reps cross server is not allowed.
Remember mod discretion is allowed.

In the case of a grey area (like dr abuse or other things) we (mods, admin, game devs) reserve the right to make judgement.

Yes it's arbitrary.

If you are unsure feel free to ask in private prior to taking actions or just don't do it.
If you think someone else is in violation, report them ingame.

Posting here will generally *not* result in moderator action.

Although this was posted on Primary forum, it also applies to all Solo Servers( Express, Primary and Tournament)

One note that is not in this post is this.

-Threaten to have your friends/allies help ruin/kill someone for any reason will get you deleted.

This is a Solo server teamplay is not acceptable.

Update as of 12/13/2021 (the above still applies):
