COMMUNITY RULES
Our Community Health Standards are important
- The Unnamed holds respect, integrity, equality, and equity in high regard. We reserve the right to take any measures necessary to protect our community, including removing individuals or groups who fail to share these values.
- Our goal is to build a safe, inclusive, and positive gaming environment within our community. There is zero tolerance for any brand of hate speech, toxicity, trolling, bigotry, or discriminatory language. If you experience any behaviour contrary to our values, or have any concerns you would like to discuss, please bring it to our attention via a ticket in our Discord.
- Please note that these rules are not exhaustive, but rather a broad statement of expectations. They may be adjusted or expanded on as needed to align with the specific demands of a particular service and our community. Our admins and moderators at times may exercise discretion, and rulings made in the field stand.
- Be aware that access to our services is a privilege, not a right. Our community is a private space, governed by our rules as well as the Terms of Service of the platforms and services we partner with or provide. We encourage open, respectful discussion, but we do not guarantee unrestricted free speech.
- Every service our community offers is built through the generosity and effort of its members. Our staff are all volunteers, donating their time to make our community a better place. Please remember the human. We will not tolerate abuse directed at staff.
SQUAD SPECIFIC RULES
Server rules
- All servers share the same basic rule set.
- Modded servers may have additional rules particular to the specific mod.
- If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out in our Discord!
- You can search for our servers via "Unnamed" in the Squad Browser.
We are happy to discuss any concerns in our discord.
All licensed Squad servers are obligated to uphold the and adhere to the as laid out by Offworld Industries. For information regarding bans on shared lists, please read the .
We are partners of the and . Serious offenses may impact your reputation with participating communities.
There is zero tolerance for abusive behavior and bigotry in any form. This includes, but is not limited to racism, sexism, ableism (ex: "retard"), homophobia, and transphobia; harassment and bullying; hate speech and Nazism.
This rule applies to everyone equally. Players' race, background, or beliefs do not grant special permissions on our services. Just because you find it acceptable or funny does not mean it will not make others feel unwelcome.
Rule 1 infractions will result in an immediate ban from our services without warning.
In-game channels are for gameplay discussion only. Administrative actions and policies are not to be discussed in-game. Admins may clear chat channels and remove individuals using them in a disruptive manner.
The experience of all players should be respected. Streamers should use a delay or map cover when possible. Please refrain from advertising without prior permission on our servers or impersonating members, admins, or developers.
All players should strive for competitive, fun matches. While the server does have auto-balancing enabled, we reserve the right to make manual squad adjustments should we see the need. We ask you keep server health in mind while using our services.
Players should actively attempt to contribute to the team effort. You can contribute to your team by attacking or defending, running supplies, destroying enemy objectives such as radios, hunting artillery pieces or fobs, supply line disruption or scouting. If you are unsure if you are actively contributing to your team, you’re probably not.
Hindering, trolling, or griefing players or your team is not allowed. This includes teamkilling, destroying friendly assets, or keeping assets intentionally out of play for extended periods of time.
You must acknowledge in game chat when you team kill. Intentional team killing is not tolerated on our servers.
Do not create a squad you do not intend to lead. Squad Baiting or passing Squad Lead without prior consent is not permitted. If you make a squad by mistake, disband the squad.
Ghosting and Teaming are prohibited. Do not share tactical information with the opposing team.
Cheating, Hacking, and Exploiting are prohibited.
Squads
Squad Leaders must have a mic and communicate in English. SLs are expected to actively lead their Squads and contribute to the team.
No locked squads under 4 players, unless with an armor claim or if they are actively contributing to the team via a task such as mortars or logistics.
Assets
All Unnamed servers are considered name claim. Squad names should be exact or very similar name to the asset in the in-game vehicle list to be valid. Any vehicle requiring squad leader approval may be name claimed.
First squad named after the asset has the asset. Command squad forfeits any claims.
Names that do not specify a vehicle- such as "Armor, MBT, or Tank"- do not get claim. Vehicle nicknames such as "Brad, Chally, or Warrior" are also not valid claims as they do not match the in-game list.
Claimed assets should be used in a timely manner. Assets left in main after spawning for extended periods may forfeit your claim.
You cannot solo vehicles that require crewman kits, you must have 2 crewman in the vehicle before leaving main. If you have lost a crew member, return to the nearest spawn and regroup when safe to do so.
All players claiming helicopters must be able to effectively pilot that vehicle. If you are unable to, your squad may be renamed and you’ll be asked to no longer pilot on our servers.
Main Camping Rule
No approaching or engaging within one FOB radius of the enemy main. This includes attacking enemy assets within the radius, or being physically within the radius. No benefit of the doubt will be given to players engaging near the enemy main!
Enemies can shoot you from within, but then forfeit their protection from you. You may ONLY engage the source of fire. If you kill a vehicle that is not the source of fire, you will be punished for main camping.
This rule is relaxed if entering the radius is necessary to contest the active objective (ex: some first or last objectives).
Indirect fire must launch from beyond a FOB radius of their main base.
Do not do anything that may harm the health of the seed. This includes removing spawn points, rushing habs, spawn killing, spamming explosives, or attempting to end the seed early.
Seeding in the life blood of any Squad server. If you or your actions are having a negative effect on this process, regardless of that action being explicitly against the rules here, you will be removed.
ARMA SPECIFIC RULES
THESE RULES ARE SPECIFIC TO ARMA
The Unnamed Servers operated on a system that is of zero-tolerance. While we practice discretion, all administrators reserve the right to protect our game server and community at large. You may not be warned before removal, it is entirely up to the admin and the situation in order to measure their punishment. This rule list is not exhaustive, but we try our best. We understand that all players are humans and make mistakes, we will always work with you but our goal is to promote the best experience possible. The administrators goal is to balance that gameplay, and are actively allowed to enforce rules that may not be in this list, but are in the best interest of the game at large. You may be kicked, banned, game banned for violating rules in the game of ARMA. Players are also able to be removed for statements that go against our community health statements.
All players are expected to follow The Unnamed Community Health Standards, upon entry to our services. These rules are your warning! Admins are free to punish how they see fit.
In-game Game Masters/Admins reserve the right to move/delete/add assets to balance the map for reason of prolonged gameplay. They also reserve the right to strip you of all your clothing, and force you to walk back to active objectives.
Do not direct message staff on Discord, use our ticketing system.
Seeding is when the servers are at low populations (Sub 64 players).
