Rules

1. Language

The main site language is English. We don't restrict usage of other languages, but you need to be able to speak/understand basic English gameplay terminology, such as:

Movement calls: "Go", "Push", "Back", "Hide", "Wait"

Infected tactical calls: "Attack/Hit", "Save", "Go in", "Kill", "First/Last"

Failing to know those words will result in you ruining the game for other players, and could potentially lead to a temporary ban.

2. Leaving midgame

Leaving midgame is not allowed. If you leave game before it ends, or stay AFK on server for too long, or fail to Ready Up in time, you will be temporarily banned.

Check F.A.Q. for more details about AFKing.

3. Cheating

Cheating is not allowed. Everyone ever found using cheats, on any server, will be permanently banned from joining L4D2Center, with a very small chance to get unbanned in the future.

Everything listed below is considered cheating:

Bypassing serverside addon disabler: the only correct place for your addons is left4dead2/addons folder, or left4dead2/addons/workshop

Modifying game files, such as sound files, or any other (except Infected vision filter, you can delete/modify it)

Bypassing the L4D2Center Anticheat, altering the app memory or spoofing the data it sends or receive

Automated bunnyhopping

Aimbot

Anything that moves your crosshair for you (180 degree turn scripts, ceiling jump helpers) (except left&right arrows, they are allowed)

Anything that presses buttons for you (m1 helpers, double-click button on mouse)

Wallhack

Fakelag

Speedhack

Teleportation

Anything else that gives you unfair advantage over other players. If you are unsure about some thing being considered a cheat, better ask admins before using it.

4. Griefing

Griefing is not allowed. This includes:

Suiciding your Survivor or Tank

Rushing alone

Friendlyfire on purpose

Playing bad on purpose

Standing AFK in a critical gameplay situation

Exploiting server plugins in order to prevent game from continuing or ending normally

Sabotaging normal gameplay will result in a temporary ban.

5. Toxic behaviour

Toxic behaviour is not allowed. Using the voice/text chat, to ruin the game experience of other players will result in a temporary ban.

Everything listed below is considered toxic behaviour:

Provoking players into a conflict

Placing too much pressure on players for their bad play

Harassing players, giving them excessive amount of attention

Using racial slurs such as the N-words, or any other kind of strong insults

6. Smurfing / multiaccounting / shared accounts

Having too many accounts is not allowed. You can have up to 2 accounts, if none of them is banned.

Shared accounts are not allowed. Only one person can play on a single account. Giving your account to a friend to play l4d2center will result in a ban.

7. What we also ban for

Lagging too much or having unreasonably high ping to a location. It is your responsibility to fix your internet connection before playing.

Spreading personal information of someone (rl names, photos, social links).

Putting sprays depicting nudity, or any other image prohibited by Twitch.

Impersonating someone (pretending to be some other existing player, which you are not).

Overall destructive behaviour for the L4D2 community, like spreading cheats or exploits to crash servers, etc.
