Rules

Where these rules apply

These rules apply to:

• the Minecraft server;
• the Titan forums;
• official Titan chat, messaging, support, and community spaces;
• official events and services operated by Titan.

They can also apply to conduct elsewhere when there is a clear and substantial connection to Titan.

Examples include:

• organising an attack, raid, harassment campaign, or disruption against Titan;
• harassing or threatening a Titan member because of something that happened on Titan;
• attempting to scam Titan members through another platform;
• selling Titan accounts, items, currency, ranks, or services off-site;
• helping someone evade a Titan punishment through another platform.

We do not moderate the entire internet and will not intervene in unrelated private disputes merely because the people involved happen to use Titan.

Off-platform enforcement must be based on reasonably reliable evidence and a meaningful connection to this community.

The short version

If you remember nothing else, remember this:

• Treat other people decently.
• Do not cheat or automate gameplay in prohibited ways.
• Do not take, destroy, or interfere with things that are protected by the rules of the mode you are playing.
• Do not exploit bugs or vulnerabilities.
• Do not scam people.
• Do not advertise competing servers or deliberately recruit Titan members away from the community.
• Do not impersonate staff.
• Do not evade punishments.
• Do not deliberately mislead staff during an investigation.
• Do not retaliate against someone for reporting misconduct, appealing a decision, or providing evidence.

Attempts, assistance, solicitation, and deliberate facilitation may be punished even if the underlying offence does not succeed.

Treating people decently

Titan is a mixed-age community. Conduct yourself accordingly.

Hate speech and discriminatory abuse

Do not use slurs, degrading stereotypes, or hateful content targeting a person or group because of characteristics including:

• race;
• ethnicity;
• nationality;
• religion;
• disability;
• sex;
• gender;
• gender identity;
• sexual orientation.

There is no exception because a word is being used jokingly, among friends, ironically, or as a reclaimed term.

Staff may consider context when deciding severity, but context does not automatically make prohibited language acceptable.

Harassment

Do not harass other people.

Harassment includes:

• repeatedly contacting someone after they have clearly asked you to stop;
• following someone between channels, worlds, threads, or platforms to continue a dispute;
• organising or encouraging pile-ons;
• brigading;
• repeatedly provoking or targeting a particular member;
• using private information to intimidate them;
• dragging a private dispute into public spaces for the purpose of humiliating someone.

A single severe incident may be harassment even if it is not repeated.

Threats and self-harm

Do not:

• make credible threats of violence;
• encourage someone to harm themselves;
• threaten to harm yourself in order to manipulate, threaten, or control another member;
• make jokes about violence or self-harm where the context makes them reasonably threatening or targeted.

Sexual content and conduct

Sexually explicit content is not permitted in Titan public spaces.

Unwanted sexual comments, sexual advances, sexual harassment, or sexually targeting another member are prohibited.

Conduct involving the sexual exploitation, grooming, solicitation, or sexualisation of a minor is treated as an extremely serious offence and will normally result in a permanent ban.

Where appropriate, Titan may preserve relevant evidence and report serious child-safety concerns to the platform or other appropriate authorities where permitted or required.

Ordinary moderation violations involving sexual language should not automatically be treated as child-safety offences merely because a minor was present in a channel. Severity depends on the actual conduct.

Personal information and doxxing

Do not disclose or distribute another person’s private or identifying information without permission where doing so could reasonably expose them to harm, harassment, unwanted contact, or loss of privacy.

This can include:

• their legal name;
• home address;
• school;
• workplace;
• telephone number;
• personal email address;
• private photographs;
• family information;
• location information;
• private social-media accounts;
• financial information;
• other identifying information shared with you privately.

Information being technically discoverable somewhere on the internet does not automatically make malicious republication acceptable.

Private conversations

Do not publish private conversations primarily to humiliate, harass, threaten, or incite others against someone.

You may provide screenshots, recordings, or other evidence in good faith to:

• Titan staff;
• a platform’s trust or safety team;
• law enforcement or another appropriate authority;
• another person where reasonably necessary for safety or legitimate dispute resolution.

Do not publicly post evidence that contains unnecessary private information when reporting it privately would achieve the same purpose.

Arguments

Disagreement is allowed.

Strong disagreement is allowed.

Criticising an idea, decision, build, argument, or action is allowed.

The line is crossed when the discussion becomes targeted personal abuse, harassment, threats, or another violation of these rules.

Staff may lock or restrict a discussion that has become unmanageable. Locking a thread does not necessarily mean staff have decided who was correct.

Chat, names and language

Keep public spaces broadly family-friendly

Mild swearing in passing is generally tolerated.

Excessive profanity, sexually explicit language, or profanity directed aggressively at another person may be moderated.

No spam

Do not deliberately disrupt chat or forums through:

• repeated messages;
• excessive capital letters;
• character spam;
• meaningless flooding;
• repeated copy-pasting;
• repeatedly bumping a thread without adding meaningful information;
• bot-generated spam.

Do not bypass filters

Do not deliberately misspell, substitute characters in, encode, or otherwise disguise prohibited words or content in order to bypass moderation systems.

Trying to evade a filter may be treated as an aggravating factor.

Public-channel language

Public moderation channels must use languages staff can reasonably moderate.

Default launch policy: public general channels use English unless a channel is specifically designated for another language.

Other languages are welcome in designated channels and private conversations, provided the content still complies with these rules.

Names, skins and other visible content

Rules applying to chat also apply where reasonably relevant to:

• usernames;
• display names;
• skins;
• capes;
• pet names;
• item names;
• signs;
• books;
• builds;
• profile pictures;
• signatures;
• forum profiles.

You cannot avoid a content rule merely by putting the content somewhere other than chat.

Dangerous and illegal links

Do not knowingly distribute:

• malware;
• phishing pages;
• credential-stealing pages;
• malicious downloads;
• pirated material where its distribution is unlawful;
• content whose primary purpose is facilitating serious illegal or harmful activity.

Links intentionally shortened or disguised to hide a suspicious destination may be removed pending review.

Cheating, exploits and unfair advantage

General rule

Do not use software, hardware, modifications, resource packs, scripts, macros, external tools, or game features to obtain an unfair gameplay advantage prohibited by these rules.

A tool is generally prohibited when it:

• performs gameplay actions for you beyond permitted convenience functions;
• reacts to gameplay automatically in a way that replaces player input;
• reveals information that the game or server intentionally hides;
• gives combat, movement, mining, targeting, or economic advantages unavailable to ordinary players;
• bypasses server restrictions or detection systems.

Prohibited examples

Unless explicitly permitted for a particular mode, prohibited tools include:

• X-ray;
• X-ray resource packs;
• fly hacks;
• kill aura;
• reach modifications;
• automated combat;
• aim assist;
• prohibited auto-clickers;
• ESP;
• tracers;
• entity radar where the server rules prohibit it;
• freecam where it exposes information players could not normally see;
• inventory or movement automation that materially plays the game for you.

Utility clients

A client whose primary purpose is cheating or which bundles prohibited cheat functionality may itself be prohibited, even if a player claims not to have enabled a particular module.

Staff should not punish someone merely because ordinary software is technically capable of automation.

Enforcement should be based on the software’s nature, configuration, actual use, reliable detection, or other reasonable evidence.

Generally permitted modifications

Unless a mode says otherwise, the following are generally acceptable:

• performance and optimisation mods;
• shaders;
• cosmetic modifications;
• ordinary HUD customisation;
• inventory organisation tools that do not automate prohibited gameplay;
• minimaps without prohibited entity or hidden-information radar;
• accessibility tools;
• controller support;
• key remapping;
• brightness settings available through legitimate game or accessibility settings.

Accessibility accommodations may be approved where a tool would otherwise technically fall within a restricted category but does not create an unreasonable competitive advantage.

Asking whether a modification is allowed

If you are unsure, ask before using it.

Only a published rule or an approval from a staff member authorised to make rules decisions should be treated as an official exception.

Where possible, obtain approval in writing.

Permission may be revoked if the behaviour or capabilities of a tool change.

Bugs, exploits and vulnerabilities

Do not knowingly exploit bugs or vulnerabilities for an unfair advantage or to damage Titan.

This includes:

• duplication bugs;
• unintended item generation;
• economy exploits;
• permission bypasses;
• authentication flaws;
• inventory exploits;
• unintended access to restricted areas;
• vulnerabilities in the website, forums, server, plugins, or infrastructure.

If you discover a serious exploit, stop using it and report it privately.

Reasonable testing necessary to establish that a bug exists may be considered differently from deliberately exploiting it for gain or disruption.

Do not publicly disclose a serious vulnerability before staff have had a reasonable opportunity to secure it.

Server disruption and technical attacks

Do not intentionally:

• crash the server or website;
• overload Titan services;
• perform denial-of-service attacks;
• flood connections;
• run malicious bots;
• evade technical rate limits;
• probe accounts for credentials;
• attempt unauthorised access;
• bypass permissions;
• interfere with server infrastructure;
• conduct stress testing without explicit authorisation.

Do not build machines whose primary purpose is to cause excessive server lag.

An ordinary large farm that accidentally creates performance problems may be handled differently from a machine deliberately designed to degrade the server.

AFK systems and automation

AFK machines, auto-fishers, automatic farms, macros, and similar systems are governed by the rules of the specific server mode.

Launch requirement: each mode must publish whether these are permitted, restricted, or prohibited.

If there is no published permission for a form of gameplay automation, do not assume it is allowed.

Real-money trading

Do not buy, sell, broker, or exchange Titan:

• accounts;
• in-game items;
• currency;
• ranks;
• services;
• land;
• builds;
• access;
• other virtual assets

for real-world money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, goods, services, or assets on another server, except through an official Titan system that expressly permits the transaction.

Do not act as a middleman for prohibited trades.

Official purchases are available only through Titan’s official store.

Titan cannot protect, verify, or refund unofficial transactions.

Griefing, stealing and other people’s builds

Unless the rules of your current server mode explicitly permit it:

• do not break, burn, flood, damage, or materially alter another person’s build without permission;
• do not take items from storage you were not authorised to access;
• do not treat an unlocked or unclaimed chest inside another person’s base as permission to take its contents;
• do not trap or kill-box players in modes where that behaviour is prohibited;
• do not deliberately obstruct another player’s build or access purely to harass them;
• do not build prohibited sexual, hateful, or seriously offensive structures.

An attempt to grief or steal may still be punished even where protection systems prevent the damage.

Trades and scams

Deliberately deceiving someone in a trade in order to take their property without providing what was agreed is treated as theft or scamming.

Ordinary misunderstandings, pricing disagreements, or failed negotiations are not automatically scams.

Staff may consider:

• what the parties agreed;
• chat logs;
• trade records;
• transaction history;
• evidence of intent.

PvP and raiding modes

Where a server mode expressly allows PvP, raiding, stealing, destruction, or similar mechanics, that mode’s published rules override conflicting provisions in this section.

Launch requirement: permitted modes and their rules must be linked here.

If you are unsure which rules apply to the mode you are playing, check its published rules before acting.

Restoration

Staff may restore damage or lost property where reasonably practical.

Restoration is not guaranteed.

Backups and logs may be incomplete, and staff are not required to recreate every item or build manually.

The possibility of a rollback does not excuse griefing, exploiting, or theft.

Accounts, alternate accounts and sharing

Your account

Do not intentionally:

• give another person access to your Titan account;
• sell your account;
• permanently transfer your account;
• use another person’s account to evade limits or punishments.

You are normally responsible for activity performed through your account.

However, staff may consider credible evidence that an account was compromised, stolen, or accessed without permission.

If you believe your account has been compromised, report it as soon as reasonably possible and secure the associated credentials.

Alternate accounts

Alternate Minecraft accounts are permitted unless a specific mode says otherwise.

Do not use an alternate account to:

• evade a ban;
• evade a mute;
• bypass a restriction;
• bypass an economy or gameplay limit;
• manipulate voting;
• manipulate rewards;
• evade an account-specific sanction.

Knowingly providing an account to help another person evade a punishment is also prohibited.

Staff should distinguish legitimate shared networks or households from ban evasion. Sharing an IP address alone is not conclusive proof that two accounts belong to the same person.

Forum accounts

Unless staff approve otherwise, each person may maintain one active forum identity.

Do not create duplicates to:

• vote repeatedly;
• file duplicate reports;
• manipulate reputation;
• evade moderation;
• submit duplicate appeals;
• impersonate another user.

Accidental duplicate registrations should be reported rather than concealed.

Account security

Use a unique password and enable available security protections.

Titan staff will never ask you to provide your password. See the staff list.

Minimum age

You must meet the minimum age stated in Titan’s Terms of Service to hold an account.

Launch requirement: insert and consistently publish the final minimum age.

If Titan determines that an account belongs to someone who does not meet the applicable age requirement, the account may be closed and associated personal information handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable legal obligations.

Advertising and recruitment

Other Minecraft servers

Do not deliberately advertise or promote competing Minecraft servers through Titan.

This includes:

• posting server IP addresses;
• repeatedly naming a server for promotional purposes;
• unsolicited direct messages advertising another server;
• disguising advertisements as questions;
• using usernames, skins, signs, books, or forum content primarily to advertise another server.

Incidental discussion of another game or server is not automatically advertising.

Context and intent matter.

Recruiting members

Do not use Titan primarily as a source of members for another competing community.

Unsolicited mass recruitment, deliberate member-poaching, or repeated invitations to leave Titan for another server or community are prohibited.

Normal private friendships are not prohibited. Inviting a friend to an unrelated personal group, game session, charity event, project, or social space is not automatically recruitment abuse.

Your own content

Videos, streams, screenshots, builds, guides, and other content featuring Titan may be shared in the appropriate places.

Do not spam self-promotional material into unrelated discussions.

Commercial advertising

Do not post unsolicited:

• commercial advertisements;
• referral links;
• affiliate links;
• paid promotions

unless Titan has expressly designated a place where that content is permitted.

Staff, impersonation and scams

Titan maintains an official staff list. Every staff member is listed on the staff page.

If someone claims to be staff, verify them through that list or another official Titan channel.

Staff contact

Staff may contact you through official Titan systems for legitimate moderation, support, security, or account matters.

Do not trust an unsolicited message merely because the sender claims to be staff.

Verify unusual requests through an official channel.

Impersonation

Do not:

• impersonate staff;
• use names, badges, profiles, or messages intended to make others reasonably believe you are staff;
• falsely claim to possess moderation powers;
• falsely claim to speak officially for Titan.

Obvious jokes that cannot reasonably deceive anyone may be treated differently, but “it was a joke” is not a defence where someone could reasonably have been misled.

Public punishment arguments

Do not repeatedly derail public chat or threads to argue an individual punishment.

Use the appeal process.

This does not prohibit reasonable discussion of moderation policy in an appropriate forum.

Repeated moderator shopping

Do not repeatedly approach different staff members hoping to obtain a different answer after a moderation decision has been properly reviewed.

This does not prevent you from:

• using the formal appeal process;
• reporting staff misconduct;
• raising a conflict of interest;
• reporting new evidence;
• escalating a procedural problem through an authorised route.

Staff conduct

Staff are subject to these rules.

Reports concerning a staff member should be reviewed by someone who is not the subject of the complaint and, where practical, by someone with sufficient seniority or independence.

Staff must not close or decide complaints about their own alleged misconduct.

Reporting a problem

Use Titan’s reporting tools where available.

Reports should contain enough information for staff to identify what happened.

Where possible, the system may preserve:

• relevant messages;
• timestamps;
• server logs;
• account information;
• moderation logs;
• transaction logs;
• other relevant records.

Report, then disengage

Reporting someone does not give you permission to retaliate.

A person who was provoked may still be moderated for their own response, although provocation may be considered when staff decide severity.

Duplicate reports

Submit one report per incident unless staff request more information.

Do not repeatedly file the same report merely to move it up the queue.

False reports and fabricated evidence

Do not knowingly:

• submit a materially false report;
• fabricate evidence;
• edit evidence to create a misleading impression;
• impersonate a witness;
• use reporting tools as a method of harassment.

An incorrect good-faith report is not the same thing as a malicious false report.

Retaliation

Do not threaten, harass, target, punish, expose, or intimidate someone because they:

• filed a report;
• provided evidence;
• acted as a witness;
• submitted an appeal;
• cooperated with an investigation.

Retaliation may be punished separately from the underlying incident.

Outcomes

You may not be told what punishment another member receives.

Privacy and account-security considerations may limit what staff can disclose.

A lack of disclosed outcome does not mean the report was ignored.

Immediate danger

If someone appears to be in immediate real-world danger, contact the appropriate emergency or safety service first where it is safe and appropriate to do so.

You may then notify Titan so relevant records can be preserved and appropriate platform action considered.

Evidence and investigations

Moderation decisions may rely on reasonably reliable evidence including:

• server logs;
• forum logs;
• chat history;
• transaction records;
• anti-cheat information;
• screenshots;
• recordings;
• reports;
• account records;
• staff observations;
• information voluntarily provided during an investigation;
• relevant off-platform evidence where these rules permit off-platform enforcement.

No single category of evidence is automatically conclusive.

Staff should consider reliability, context, consistency, and the possibility of manipulation.

Players must not knowingly destroy, fabricate, or falsify evidence during an active investigation.

Cooperation with investigations

You are not required to confess to something merely because staff ask you a question.

However, do not deliberately provide materially false information, fabricate evidence, impersonate another person, or knowingly mislead staff about facts relevant to an investigation.

A deliberate material lie may be treated as an aggravating factor or separate offence.

Minor mistakes, misunderstandings, inability to remember, or good-faith disagreement are not automatically lying.

How enforcement works

Moderation actions should be recorded against the relevant account with:

• the reason;
• the date;
• the staff member responsible;
• the applicable warning or sanction;
• enough information for the affected member to understand what rule was found to have been broken.

Staff-only notes may be retained where necessary for moderation, security, safeguarding, fraud prevention, or administration.

Warnings and points

Warnings may carry points based on seriousness.

Active points may expire after a defined period.

Some especially serious categories may remain active indefinitely.

An old warning can remain in the historical moderation record after its points stop contributing to current thresholds.

A retained historical record is not the same thing as a permanently active punishment.

Separate forum and game records

By default, forum and in-game moderation records are scored separately.

An in-game mute does not automatically create a forum restriction, and a forum restriction does not automatically prevent someone playing.

Serious misconduct may affect more than one Titan service where there is a legitimate moderation, safety, security, or integrity reason to do so.

Cross-platform consequences must be an intentional moderation decision rather than an automatic side effect unless a published rule expressly states otherwise.

Thresholds

Accumulated active points may trigger increasingly serious restrictions.

Possible actions include:

• content approval before publication;
• chat restrictions;
• posting restrictions;
• temporary suspension;
• permanent suspension.

A sanction should state its duration or whether it is permanent.

Earning additional points later does not silently change the duration of an already issued punishment unless a new moderation action is imposed.

Point values and thresholds

Titan does not have to publicly disclose exact point values, decay periods, or automated thresholds.

Members should not be required to acknowledge a warning without being able to see the immediate consequence attached to it.

Acknowledging warnings

Titan may require acknowledgement of a warning before normal posting or gameplay features become available again.

Acknowledgement means only that the warning was displayed to you.

It is not:

• a confession;
• an admission of guilt;
• a waiver of appeal rights.

You must remain able to review and appeal an eligible warning while acknowledgement is outstanding. You can always reach the privacy policy even while a warning is outstanding.

Serious offences

Progressive discipline is a default, not a guarantee.

Serious misconduct may result in immediate suspension or permanent removal without prior warnings.

Examples may include:

• serious cheating;
• deliberate exploitation causing substantial harm;
• ban evasion;
• doxxing;
• serious threats;
• serious scams or fraud;
• deliberate attacks on Titan infrastructure;
• grooming or sexual exploitation of a minor;
• serious child-safety threats;
• distribution of malicious software;
• other conduct presenting a comparable safety or security risk.

The phrase “anything involving a minor” is not itself an offence. Serious consequences depend on the nature of the conduct.

What you can see

Members should be able to view the user-facing portion of their moderation record at your warnings page, including:

• the warning or sanction;
• the date;
• the reason;
• whether points remain active;
• any restriction currently in force;
• the available appeal route.

Internal staff notes, security-sensitive information, private reports, or information identifying another reporter or witness do not have to be disclosed through the normal warnings page.

Punishment evasion and assistance

Do not intentionally help another person evade a Titan punishment.

Examples include:

• lending them an account;
• relaying messages to defeat a mute;
• holding duplicated or stolen items on their behalf;
• transferring assets to hide them from a rollback;
• creating accounts for a banned player;
• acting as an intermediary for a prohibited transaction.

Assistance must be knowing or deliberate. Merely interacting with someone who later turns out to be banned is not automatically an offence.

Attempts and facilitation

A rule can apply even where the prohibited result does not occur.

Staff may act on:

• attempted scams;
• attempted cheating;
• attempted exploitation;
• attempted unauthorised access;
• attempted ban evasion;
• deliberate assistance;
• solicitation;
• coordinated planning

where there is sufficient evidence of intentional conduct.

Preparation alone should not be punished as an attempt unless the conduct clearly moves beyond ordinary discussion or innocent activity toward carrying out the violation.

Appeals

If you believe a moderation decision is wrong, use the formal appeal process. Every warning on your warnings page has its own appeal form.

Access

A suspension should not prevent an eligible member from reaching the appeal system.

Expired warnings

A warning may remain appealable after its active points have expired where removing the underlying finding would still meaningfully affect the member’s record.

Repeat appeals

Titan may limit duplicate appeals and impose a reasonable cooling-off period before the same decision can be appealed again.

A new appeal may be considered sooner where genuinely new evidence becomes available.

Independent review

Where practical, the staff member who issued a contested punishment should not be the sole person deciding its appeal.

Appeals concerning severe sanctions should be reviewed by a suitably senior or independent staff member.

A person with a material conflict of interest should not decide the appeal.

What makes a useful appeal

Explain specifically what you believe was wrong.

Useful grounds can include:

• mistaken identity;
• incorrect facts;
• missing context;
• unreliable evidence;
• a rule being applied incorrectly;
• new evidence;
• a disproportionate sanction where the appeal system permits severity review;
• a procedural conflict or error.

An apology may be relevant to leniency where Titan permits it, but an apology alone does not establish that the original finding was incorrect.

Behaviour during appeals

Do not threaten, harass, or abuse staff or other members during an appeal.

Criticism, disagreement, and firm argument are permitted.

Abusive conduct may be moderated separately, but an appeal should not be rejected merely because the appellant strongly disagrees with staff.

Successful appeals

If a punishment is overturned:

• the finding should be corrected or removed as appropriate;
• active points arising solely from that finding should stop counting;
• restrictions imposed solely because of that finding should be lifted.

Where a punishment is reduced rather than fully overturned, the record should reflect the revised decision.

Your data

Moderation requires Titan to keep certain records.

The Privacy Policy explains:

• what information Titan stores;
• why it is stored;
• how long it is retained;
• who can access it;
• applicable deletion rights;
• how account deletion affects moderation records;
• why some safety, security, fraud, or moderation information may need to be retained after an account is closed.

Moderation records remaining stored does not necessarily mean expired warnings continue counting against an account.

Changes to these rules

These rules may change.

Significant changes should be announced through an official Titan channel.

The “last updated” date should always reflect the current published text.

Unless required for safety, security, law, or platform integrity, members should generally be judged under the substantive rules that applied when the conduct occurred rather than being punished retroactively under a later rule.

Procedural changes, such as changes to how appeals are submitted, may apply immediately.

If two rules appear to conflict, the more specific rule for the relevant server mode or feature normally controls.

If something is unclear, ask staff or raise it in the appropriate forum.

Rules should be understandable to the people expected to follow them.
