New Rules
1. Nulling, masking or overwriting of files to bypass/redirect current game resources such as sounds, textures or models will now result in a ban. (This is all modifications commited outside the pk3 files).
2. Clans playing matches in competitions / ladders or leagues must have at least one clan with a scanner licence or server + scanner from a GSP partner. Clans that are avoiding the DMW licence by using a server owned by another clan or person that is not involved in the match is prohibited and breaches the DMW EULA.
All matches on leagues and ladders such as clanbase are now automatically monitored, and any matches played that breach these rules will have both parties lose their DMW Client accounts, avoiding the DMW licence is not exceptable and if you want to use DMW you must purchase a licence.
Clans scanning other matches that contain 2 other teams other than themselves will gain a warning followed by losing there scanner account as this breaches your EULA when purchasing the scanner.
3. Users creating many accounts for any reason, will be permanently banned from DMW.
4. Leagues that use DMW for commercial usages, such as scanning a league/match server where clans in that league may use the server and be scanned will be in breach of the DMW EULA and will face legal action for loses and damages.
5. Clans must make sure there DMW Clan profile is upto date, failure to keep your members on your profile will cause your members to be flagged as freelancers and excluded from your clan on checking which can cause a breach of Rule 2. Users must be registered in the clan they are playing for.
These rules will be added to the DMW Banning Policy, and are in affect from the date of this post.
DMW made a massive finacial loss this year, and is currently being supported by other DMW products and services. For the anti-cheat to remain a product of the DMW Group we are stamping down on users that are have a complete negative drain on DMW. We see many comments from users that pay for nothing, borrow other clans scanner, yet feel the right to comment that DMW is not working hard enough, if the money is there to develop the product the product gets developed.
We also see many comments about DMW is all for the money, well yes we sure are! Its the first rule of business, can the business model survive?, will we ever make profit with this?. Without money there is no DMW, we arent here to offer freebies, and work night and day to give you sometime for nothing, that would make us completely crazy!!!!.
Fact is if everyone did their bit, stopped abusing the system and the kind nature of the DMW Staff, we would not have had to add these rules, but the fact is that less than 5% of clans playing with DMW actually pay for a scanner, please tell me why 95% of you should get this for free?
Now I also think it was a good decision by Clanbase to part ways with DMW!
