False KOS: When placing a KOS you must be certain that the player has committed a Traitorous act (see below for list) or been identified as a Traitor through the use of a DNA scanner or taser. When KOSing for Traitorous acts you cannot call them based off a players location, sound or guns. You must see all parties involved as the event happens in order to call a legitimate KOS.
Delaying: Every role has a specificate objective the player must carry out, not working towards that objective is seen as delaying. Whether this be Traitors not hunting and eliminating players or Detectives not searching the map for bodies and Traitors to identify. Anyone actively delaying their roles objective will be punished.

Note: Please do not directly ask if a player is KOSed as this leads to false KOS’s being called. If a player is found to be actively doing this to generate false KOS’s on players that player will be punished. Players are also not allowed to use KOS to bait players out. You should only start calling a KOS if you are able to at the time, Players found to be doing so may be punished.
3. Traitor Baiting: Acting like a Traitor by committing traitorous acts or calling yourself a traitor as an innocent or detective is not allowed and is punishable. Shooting at or near other players is also not allowed and is regarded as traitor baiting. This includes innocents and detectives shooting near other players to provoke a reaction.

PUNISHMENTS:
The punishments given to players depends on what rule that player broke and the actions of the player before and after. The most common punishment used for most situations is slaying.
1. Slaying: When asked to slay this means you need to type “kill” in your csgo console to kill yourself in game after the round you broke the rules (this does not mean let someone kill you or KOS yourself you must use “kill” in console). If players fail to slay when prompted by an admin for whatever reason you will be issued with a warning. (Slays do not count if the round becomes glitched or ends for no reason).
2. Warning: TTT currently uses the 3 strike/warning system, if you receive 2 warnings on the server your 3rd warning will result in an automatic ban. Player warnings do expire after 3 months upon good behaviour and will be done so by an admin.
3. Ban: A ban is the most severe punishment you can receive when you are banned you are blocked from using all DTK servers for the duration of your ban. The ban length depends on the severity of the players offense and also previous bans given to that player in the past. Information on bans and how to appeal or request a ban can be found >>>HERE<<<.
4. Mute/Gag: Mutes and Gags are issued to players that are breaking rules using their in game comms on the server. A mute is given when a player is incorrectly using their mic and a gag is used when a player incorrectly uses their chat. Mute and gag punishment lengths depend on the severity of the players offense.
Note: The use of soundboards and/or software's that changes your voice to be not understandable or such are not allowed on the server. Mutes will be issued out to those who break this rule.
Important Note: Players should also always be respectful to the admins of the server, any abuse, trolling or any other inappropriate behaviour towards them can and will be punished. Please always listen to admins and obey any instructions they may give you or to the server, failing to listen and follow instructions may lead to consequences.
Admins will always have the final say on any punishment or decision regarding the servers rules. If you believe that an admin has mishandled a situation or was too strict towards you or another player you can contact the TTT SA to discuss what happened. If you were banned on the server you can appeal the ban >>>HERE<<<
Reporting Rulebreakers:
If a player is breaking rules and you wish to report it to the admins you can send a message to the admins by putting an @ before your message in TEAM CHAT and sending it (e.g TEAM CHAT: @ Matt RDMed me). Your message will only be seen by the admins on the server and they will handle the situation and deal with the rule breakers when appropriate.
If no admin is present on the server at the time you can use this guide to submit a ban on a player >>>HERE<<< If you follow that guide and submit a ban an admin will review your report ASAP and make appropriate actions against the player.
Important Info:
The use of grenades (HE grenades and incendiary grenades/molotovs) are NOT prohibited as long as you are not directing them towards and/ or damaging players that would break the server rules (this does not count if players walk into the path of a grenade or into a molly). This also applies for grenade damage inflicted after you are killed.
Live checks are NOT compulsory, therefore you cannot kill a player because they choose not to respond.
