Note: Not every punishable offense can be listed in the rules. If something is not specifically listed on here, that does NOT mean it is allowed! If you are ever unsure or would like clarification, please contact staff.

GENERAL RULES

• No chargebacks of any payments are allowed, this will result in a permanent blacklist from the network. 
• No faking evidence of any player 
• No stalking/harassing any player 
• No leaking player's personal information. This includes false information; it will be treated the same way! 
• No using VPNs or proxies. This will result in your account becoming linked to other players’ accounts and may cause you to be punished for another player’s actions. Mobile hotspots are also strongly discouraged. 
• No using NFA/SFA account generators. The reason being that most of these accounts are already punished on Benderplay and may cause you to be blacklisted from the network.  Account sharing is allowed, but at your own risk! We will not unban you if your shared/secondhand account(s) get banned and/or blacklisted. 
• Do not evade a ban or mute on any Benderplay platform - this can lead to a blacklist.
• Use common sense. If common sense dictates something should most likely be against the rules, then do not do it! If you are ever in doubt about something please ask a staff member beforehand.

GAMEPLAY RULES

• No hacking/cheating 
• No "fake hacking" meaning you purposely try to look like a hacker; this will carry the same punishment as an actual hacker. (e.g. sitting at spawn spinning around towards players and attacking to make it look like you have kill aura) 
• No knowingly teaming with hackers 
• No using bots for any reason (e.g. spam bots, killing them to boost stats/money/kits or any other form of advantage or benefits from bots) 
• No using any alt accounts to get daily items/gear/currency/voting or achievement rewards for you or any other account to use; this rule still applies to daily items on ranked alt accounts. 
• No glitch abusing/exploiting (e.g. duplicating items, escaping the map, eating whilst running, escaping combat tag, intentionally getting yourself banned, etc - no matter your intention) 
• If you discover a glitch, immediately report it to a staff member or create a Bug Report and do not share it with other players. No abusing /report (e.g. purposefully false reporting another player to get the attention of staff) 
• No inappropriate usernames; you will be banned until you change your name. (applies to names that include swear words, racism, sexism, or any other inappropriate terms/phrases) 
• No inappropriate skins/capes (e.g. any skin/cape showing nudity) 
• No other programs to give you an unfair advantage (e.g. autoclickers, macros, unapproved mods, etc.) 
• Butterfly clicking may result in a punishment for autoclicking as they have some similarities that are difficult to distinguish. Butterfly clicking is at your own risk, but strongly discouraged since you are unlikely to be unbanned if you use this method. 
• No double-clicking (includes the action of adjusting mouse settings to double-click and setting multiple mice/trackpad or buttons to attack) 
• Drag, bolt & bawlclicking are strictly prohibited; you will be treated the same way as you would if you were blatantly cheating.

• No form of threats towards any player for any reason 
• No mass messaging
