Few general notes:

- In game pausing is forbidden! You may do so only if both captains allow it.

- Forfeiting is allowed. All team members must write 'ff' in 'all' chat. No one can be forced to do same. If there's even only one player who doesn't wish to ff, game must be continued normally.

Note: Forfeited team has to put heroes on hold position behind the fountain, while the non-forfeiting team immediately, and we do mean immediately, takes the fastest route to the throne/tree and destroy it. Any detours can be valid punishment reason. Neither team is allowed to interfere with the other team's heroes.

- Remaking is allowed.

Every game will be remade if dropping accure before 15 minute mark.The exception are games where the kill difference between teams is bigger then 10. In that case captain of the team with less players can either chose to ff or continue the game. The remake can have a different cd poll if captains agree so.

- Breaking any rule, not mentioned above, will also be punished, if it ruins the game somehow.

- SS staff reserves the right to change the rules written above if its considered necessary.

- SS channel is considered as public channel and as a result of it general eurobattle.net rules applies for this channel. Nationalism or insults toward staff may result in server punishment.

1) Above rules applies for all #ss games.By '#ss game' term we understand game created by safelist host. Games, which don't fulfill these requirements are not considered as '#ss games' and, as a result of it, rules of '#ss channel' does not apply to them.

2) Only 1 safelisted account per user is allowed.Moderators may have 2 accounts safelisted.

3) You are responsible for your account, and all rules broken with that account will result in according punishments.We will not accept excuses like : "My little brother logged in with my account! It wasn't me!".

4) #SS is international channel, what means everyone can apply for it.However, it's well known for dota players, that distance make lag, and most of non eu players will lag on eu hosts and vice versa.

5) Use common sense.This will help to avoid problems, like ridiculous ban requests.

6) Remember If you experience any problem with other safelisted player, do not flame, argue etc just take screenshots/replay and post it on forum. Moderators will resolve it.

7) If you notice anything, what is not written as a rule contact moderators. They will take care about it.

In case bot is offline for some reason, above rules DO NOT apply

A rule change regarding game remakes.

Quote :

- Remaking is allowed.

Every game will be remade if dropping accure before 15 minute mark.The exception are games where the kill difference between teams is bigger then 10. In that case captain of the team with less players can either chose to ff or continue the game. The remake can have a different cd poll if captains agree so.

Also, i would like to note that since the remade mark has increased to 15 min, we will have to strictly follow rules about d/c in order to prevent abuses.
