[[Stendhal]] is a friendly community, and higher level players will generally help lower level players. For example, there is a community chest south of the Inn where players can deposit unwanted items for others to use. For those who might disrupt this friendly community, there is a jail in [[Semos]] and a heaven, called the afterlife. To avoid being sent there, please follow these rules:

There are some basic rules mainly about account safety and fair play:


==Rules==
==Rules==
# You '''can''' be attacked outside protected areas (outside the pale green areas on minimap).
# Account sharing and password sharing is strictly forbidden and there are no exceptions to this rule, it is a bannable offence.
# Account sharing and password sharing is strictly forbidden and there are no exceptions to this rule, it is a bannable offence.
# Trying to guess someone elses password or obtain someone elses password by any means is a bannable offence.
# Trying to guess someone elses password or obtain someone elses password by any means is a bannable offence.
# Any actions from your account are your responsibility. This means, if you tell your friends your password or let them sit at your computer unattended, what happens is your responsibility. You should create a guest user account on your computer for friends who visit, so they do not have access to your stored accounts (or your files, browser history, etc ...)

# Spamming with messages is counted as abuse and you will be gagged or jailed for it.
# If a player /ignores you please respect that. If you login a clone to contact the player who ignored you, both your characters can be punished.
# If you are gagged and you login a clone to bother people, both your characters can be punished.
# Trapping and blocking other players from playing in a normal way is forbidden.
# Your items are your responsibility. Don't leave anything lying on the ground even for a moment. Use right-click ''Trade'' or <npc>Harold</npc> to trade. Support will not help with stolen items as the trading interface provides a safe way to exchange items. Likewise if you want to give away an item to a specific player for free, use right-click ''Trade''.
# If you are training and another kills the creatures around you, try asking them to stop. If they continue, find a new place to train. Please don't bother '''<code>/support</code>''' with it.
# Please listen to what an [[Stendhal:Administration | admin or Game Master]] asks you to do.
# If you discover an abusable bug, you should report it using '''<code>/support</code>''' or the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1111&atid=101111 tracker]
# If you discover an abusable bug, you should report it using '''<code>/support</code>''' or the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1111&atid=101111 tracker]
# Don't use bots or other client automation (including mouse recorders) as this will be considered cheating. (Service bots like postman have to get approval on [irc://irc.freenode.net/#arianne #arianne])

# 'Rule 11' Please listen to what an [[Stendhal:Administration | admin or Game Master]] asks you to do.
# Please respect other players and don't copy their identity, for example by creating names similar to theirs.

These are suggested behaviours which allow the community to operate well without external intervention.

==Behaviour==
# Please read the [[StendhalFAQ]] and [[StendhalManual]] before contacting support.
# Please read the [[StendhalFAQ]] and [[StendhalManual]] before contacting support.
# You '''can''' be attacked outside protected areas (outside the pale green areas on minimap).
# Spamming with messages is antisocial. Players being spammed may use <code>/ignore</code> to block public chat.
# Trapping and blocking other players from playing in a normal way is antisocial. Players should be free to push other players out of the way so they can continue to play.
# If you are trapped, use a scroll or logout. It is intended to fix the exploit of placing items under you to stop pushing. {{tracker|3472563}}

Please work together as a community to help each other.

* Although PVP is enabled, the admin and team want stendhal to be a nice community. Thus if you start repeatedly killing and attacking players, and only making trouble, we may ask you to stop and play nicely. In that case please refer to rule 11.
* Please do not take advantage of new players who haven't learnt how to trade safely, by stealing their items. Instead teach them and help them.
