We ban players who we believe are solely on to ruin other people's experience and their general presence on Cave causes lots of harm towards people.

⚔️ HCF Rules:

Do not ally with other factions

Allying is when one faction is assisted during a fight by a third party.
Allying can be one-way, this is where one team helps another without the consent of the faction that is receiving a benefit.

Do not abuse PvP/SOTW timer.

Do not gatekeep KOTH/Citadel.

Gatekeeping is when you start fighting people right outside a Citadel/KOTH capzone/area effectively preventing them from knocking.
Gatekeeping can also be considered if you are in Citadel/KOTH area and making zero effort to knock. If you don't want to knock then don't go to Citadel or KOTH. This can discourage factions from knocking as they see you as a step in the way.
- This is of course, up to the staff member.

Do not grief fights.

This can be blocking archer shots, breaking blocks under combatants, blocking hits or many other situations where they can't hit you but you annoy them.

Do not PvP Timer/SOTW Timer Abuse

Do not invite banned/blacklisted evading players, can result in a blacklist/ban.

Do not evade DTR

DTR evasion is where a faction leader kicks a member just before they die in order to avoid DTR loss. Disbanding a faction while on DTR freeze and creating a new one is another form of evasion.

Do not boost DTR

DTR boosting is where a faction member has multiple accounts in a faction in order to gain more DTR.

Do not inside factions.

Do not Block/Pearl/Hub glitch.

Do not log out whilst frozen.

Players have 3 minutes to join TeamSpeak upon being frozen. You will be banned if you do not comply with staff instructions.

Do not hold other players hostage.

Holding hostage is where a player is trapped within a claim but is not actively being killed for a long period.

Do not kick & kill members.

Kick & kill is where a member is kicked from a faction and killed by the members. This rule also applies if a member leaves the faction and kills its members.

Do not freeze your Minecraft to avoid death.

Autoclicking outside of KOTH and Citadel is not allowed.

Duping, being in a faction with dupers or knowing of a glitch/exploit and not reporting it to a staff member can result in a ban/blacklist.

If you find out about a game-breaking exploit or dupe, tell a Head-Staff member, and you could win top rank, a Gift Card, or even PayPal/Crypt,o depending on the Ownership team.

Getting on alts and getting yourselves killed purposefully by factions to try to frame them for boosting will result in a blacklist and a possible DQ/faction ban for your faction.

You can only have 1 account per player per faction for the entire map. No, rotating a player with an alt of theirs.

Do not use illegal traps.
Illegal traps include, but are not limited to:

Having 3 or more dropdowns in your entire claim.
Suffocation traps.
Upsign traps leading to death.
Dropdowns that exceed 15 blocks in either direction.
