Additionally:

Behavior:

CyberGamer is a competitive esports community, as such you are required to act and respond to user and staff content in a constructive and responsible manner. Whilst all users have the right to express their own opinion, it is expected that members will respond to or create content on the CyberGamer system in a mature and non abusive way. By registering to this system you have agreed to not post any abusive, illegal, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, racist, or sexually orientated materials whether depicted in media or text. CyberGamer reserves the right to ban/lock/terminate your account for any reason we see fit, or no reason at all. We also reserve the right to remove your forum posts/threads with or without a reason.

CyberGamer also has many public access areas such as its public ventrilo server, its pickup game bot system and its chatrooms, they are provided for your enjoyment and members who are felt to be ruining the enjoyment of others whilst using these services will be removed for a time period at the sole discretion of the admin team.

Cheating:

CyberGamer has a strict zero tolerance policy on cheating, members who are caught cheating in any game on any platform are not permitted to compete on our system. As a competitive gaming site we work on a system of trust, once that trust is broken you lose your status as a trusted competitor. We take in evidence from any source as we are bound by no non disclosure agreements so people cheating for the fun of it in a public server will be dealt with no differently than those caught cheating in a match.

Harassment:
Any user found to be harassing any member in an inappropriate way on any cybergamer system will be removed and if the offense is serious enough referred to the police.

Sportsmanship:

CyberGamer Australia is a competitive esports community and as such all members joining this system are required to show good sportsmanship when competing in any of its leagues. No team or member of a team has the right to degrade or talk down to another player or team based on its ability or skill level. Breaches of these rules will come with penalties as all members of the CyberGamer communities are welcomed and encouraged to compete at whatever level they can achieve and we expect all members to encourage and support others in achieving the highest standard of competitiveness possible.

Media:

CyberGamer has means for users to submit and display media they have generated based on either their time competing on the CyberGamer system or in general public play. This media is a resource that is valued as it is made with time and care and uploaded for the enjoyment of all members. All users are welcomed to give comments on this media but it is expected to comply with all the rules stated here, slandering and abusive behavior will NOT be tolerated and all users are again reminded to respect the time that users put in to generate content for your viewing pleasure.

Staff:

Staff members including site administrator's ladder administrators and forum moderators are not immune to the rules, they are the guidelines which they operate under. All users are expected to comply with all staff requests immediately and maturely. Abuse of CyberGamer staff will result in an extension of your ban or permanent removal from the CyberGamer system. We are run by a very large team of volunteers and we greatly value their time and expect all members to do so as well. If you feel a staff member acted inappropriately please submit a management support ticket and the issue will be reviewed. Note that interaction with head admins and staff is confidential and no feedback on these outcomes will be given to users.

Gaming Servers:

CyberGamer provides a large amount of gaming servers for use of the competing teams on this system. All users are expected to respect these resources and use them responsibly, any user found tampering with settings on these servers will have their access to these systems removed for a period at the sole discretion of CyberGamer staff.

Sponsorship Media:

CyberGamer also has a long list of sponsors, from time to time it is required that we present media to the CyberGamer users representing these sponsors. Whilst we encourage users to express their opinions directly slandering or abusing sponsors of the CyberGamer system will result in your removal as they help provide the means unto which this system operates. It takes considerable funding to provide these resources and it's all done for you the member so we ask that you show suitable respect to those working to support this system.

System Security:

CyberGamer provides the best means possible to secure your information and any user or person deemed to be attempting to breach the security of the CyberGamer system will either be removed from the system and if deemed to be a serious enough matter reported to the cyber crimes division of the Australian Federal Police. It is inappropriate or unacceptable for any user to give out their system password and signing in with another users password may be detected as a security breach and see your account permanently removed from the system.

Content:

Your submitted content is not illegal, indecent, profane, threatening, or defamatory; and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings or any form of "spam."

Your submitted content does not infringe on the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or contain any confidential or proprietary information of any person or entity, or otherwise violate the legal rights of any person or entity.

Your submitted content does not contain personally identifiable information about other persons, such as their phone number, contact information or email address, or information about that could result in an invasion of their privacy or their harassment.

You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully assignable and sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, edit, reformat, create derivative works from, distribute and display content throughout the world for any purpose and in any media (including for advertising or other commercial use).

You grant us the non-exclusive right to seek to enjoin and/or obtain damages from any third party from the unauthorized use or reproduction of your content. If we publish your content or authorize or license others to do so, your content may be edited for length or clarity or for any other reason either before or after it is published. We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove any content for any reason from the website.

The views, opinions or positions expressed by the users and those providing comments are theirs alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or positions of CYBERGAMER PTY LTD or any employee thereof. CYBERGAMER PTY LTD makes no representations as to accuracy, completeness, currentness, suitability, or validity of any information on this site and will not be liable for any errors, omissions, or delays in this information or any losses, injuries, or damages arising from its display or use.

We encourage all members of the community to get involved with the system and we request that all of you who get involved do so in a mature and encouraging manner.
