13. What is considered as advertising?
Answer: Advertising consists of linking the IP (direct or numerical) or website of another server or community.
14. If I have a YouTube account, am I allowed to advertise that?
Answer: Yes, provided you produce MCSG related content. If not, don't link it unless specifically asked for.
15. If I was banned on the forums or ingame, am I allowed to use an alternate account?
Answer: No. You may not use Alternate Accounts to benefit yourself, and this includes in order to bypass a current ban on a different account. It is unfair to other players and pervades justice, thus alt accounts are not allowed. You may dispute the ban or wait out your sentence, but you cannot sidestep it.
If a user is found using an alternate account, that account will be banned immediately and without warning, as will the player as well. The account will be banned for the higher offense than the first account was banned.
For example if someone was banned for Abuse [1st Offense], which is 3 days, both accounts will be banned for Abuse [2nd Offense], which is 5 days, if they were found bypassing the first ban.
16. Am I allowed to let my sibling/cousin/friend/other assorted 3rd parties play MCSG on my account?
Answer: No, do not let other people use your account. In the eyes of the staff and the community, your account is your own and no one else's. There is no good and easy way for us to identify who is physically behind a keyboard, but we are fully able to know what account is being used. Only holding one person accountable for their account makes identification much more honest and easier on our part when it comes to applications and offenses.
If another person is using your account, and they do something to get you banned, your account will be held responsible and will be punished as such. You are allowed to dispute the ban, but it is unlikely that you can prove your case to the extent necessary for us to unban your account. Don't let the mistakes of others affect you: keep your account to yourself.
17.What is win boosting?
Answer: Win boosting consists of a player entering servers with a small player count with a large party that either /kills or allows the player to kill them for wins. These parties are usually more than half of the lobby. To report someone for win boosting, make sure to collect evidence of at least 4-5 different games.
18. What happens if I was banned for forged evidence?
Answer: MCGamer realizes that there are clients that may frame innocent players into looking like they are using hacked clients. If you believe your evidence was forged, please make a ban dispute at
http://dispute.mcgamer.info immediately and include as much evidence as you can proving us that the evidence is fake.
