• Teamspeak is the official voice chat program of the GFL. You can download Teamspeak for free at http://www.goteamspeak.com.
• Players MUST log into the TS server using a player name. If you are new to Teamspeak, please review this setup guide to configure Teamspeak with a player name.
• The official server is for GFL member and invited guest use only.
• Account registration on Teamspeak is optional, but recommended.
• Registered accounts are available to any member that has achieved Rank 15 or higher. Server registration will allow you to reserve a login name and nickname for use on the server, set channel commander status, and let you create temporary chat rooms. To register with the Teamspeak server, contact your CO (or any available SA if you are unable to make arrangements with your CO).
• The use of Teamspeak is a privilege and not a right. If you abuse it you will lose it. It is here for all members to enjoy.

GENERAL USAGE

• Abusive behavior may result in punitive action up to and including, being kicked from the server and/or banned. In addition to personal attacks, foul language can be grounds for banning.
• Teamspeak has channels set up for private discussions with command staff and/or other members. If you need to speak with them about an issue, then arrange to meet them in an empty channel. Do not air your issues in the presence of those to whom it does not concern.
• Please use a Push-to-Talk button with his or her TS program, and NOT voice activation. This will cut down on a lot of needless transmissions such as dogs barking, phone rings, and colorful gaming commentary.
• Please refrain from shouting or playing music down the microphone as this is highly annoying to others and you may be kicked and/or banned from the server for doing so.
• Channel spamming and advertising is prohibited at all times.
• GFL Protocol Always Applies.

DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
The server host and Council of Five reserve all rights to the administration of the server and retain the right to deny service to any member of the community. This right includes the ability to ban a specific player and/or IP from access to the server.
For non-GFL members and guests, report incidents to jag@gfluniverse.net.
For GFL members, report incidents to the appropriate CO first and escalate to the JAG and/or Council as necessary – follow the chain of command. The Council of Five has the final say in all decisions affecting GFL members.

1. Kick Policy:
Our kick policy is simple. For any infraction you will be politely warned ONCE. If you go on to repeat the same infraction you will be kicked without further warning.

2. Ban Policy:
Our ban policy is equally simple. If you should return to our server after being kicked and repeat the same offence or commit any offence listed above that is deemed to be bannable you will be banned without further warning. DO NOT post appeals or complaints on the forum. Our Admin SOP requires all Admins to provide documentary proof to a review panel for justification of any member ban. If you feel that the ban was unwarranted and no proof can be provided by the Admin your ban will be revoked.

We do not kick or ban someone just because they don’t agree with us or don’t like us. If they are on the server and playing according to our rules, we have no reason to harass, or otherwise abuse the player. However, if they are abusive in the manner that they disagree with us or any other group on the server, then the above rules about abusive or vulgar language apply.

Appeals for GFL Members:

1. Any appeals that members wish to make must follow the chain of command.
2. Contact your CO first to file your appeal. If you can not contact your CO, you may alternatively contact the JAG office.
3. Upon receiving your appeal, the incident will be reviewed by all appropriate parties and a final decision will be made.
4. If the ban is found to be unjustified, the ban will be overruled and your account reinstated.

Appeals for Non Members:

1. Any appeals that non-members wish to make must be made in writing to jag@gfluniverse.net.
2. When you email your appeal, please include the date and time you were banned, the name of the admin and a screen shot if you have one. Once the email has been received the review process will begin. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
3. Upon receiving your appeal, the incident will be reviewed and a final decision will be made.
4. If the ban is found to be unjustified, the ban will be overruled and your account reinstated.
