Team Griefing

Theo
Theo · Respect

Your team is counting on you. Be someone they can count on.

On a team-based server, the quickest way to ruin a round for four or five other people is to turn on your own side. That's team griefing, and it isn't allowed.

What Counts as Team Griefing​

Team griefing is any action that directly harms your own team. The common forms are:

  • Placing or setting off TNT in your own base for non-defensive reasons.
  • Destroying your own team's chests or workbenches.
  • Teamkilling — spleefing your own teammates, blowing them up with TNT, or otherwise killing them.
  • Aiding or working together with the other team against your own.

Accidents Aren't Punished​

Mistakes happen. A stray TNT blast or a misclick that catches a teammate isn't what this rule is about — nobody gets punished for an honest accident. What's not allowed is doing these things on purpose, or so carelessly it comes to the same thing.

If a round goes wrong and you're not sure whether something will be read as griefing, the safe move is the same as everywhere else on the Network: ask a Staff Member, and report genuine griefing rather than retaliating in kind.
