Abuse
333networks may at any given moment, unannounced and without argument or reason end the service to you by forcibly banning, blacklisting or otherwise denying you and/or your gameserver access to the service. This may happen after an administrator considers your actions to be abusive or malicious towards the service or its users. Examples of such actions (but not limited to) are:
- Purposely providing incorrect server information (fake players, artificial player counts, manipulation of statistics);
- Incorrectly re-publishing 333networks masterserver statistics on third party websites;
- Unsanctioned use of another server's name, clan name or contact details by mimicking, spoofing, phishing or otherwise providing misleading information;
- Hateful, offensive or abusive server/player names;
- Using server/player name fields to spread propaganda or illegal statements;
- Purposely misleading people into joining your server (phishing) to obtain client game configurations, settings or personal information;
- Using the service in the context with piracy, aid to piracy, explicit content or other illegal operations;
- Bypassing authentication in order to obtain (internal) service content;
- Sending data (malicious or quantity) that disrupts the functionality of the service (denial of service, flooding);
- Requesting data at ludicrous rates (spamming) or for other reasons than the intended purpose;
When a threat towards the service or its users is detected, 333networks reserve the right to defend by any means necessary until the threat deems gone. Threats include, but are not limited to: flooding the master with fake servers (e.g. only sending scripted heartbeats) or abnormally high rate of heartbeats in order to damage the service. When the definition of abusive or malicious intent is ambiguous or incomplete in any situation, a 333networks administrator decides how the situation should be interpreted.
