So now fountain farming is subjective as well?
Note topic
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=16682Some admins ban everytime and then some ban only for 3 mins.
Wow what sorry excuse for ADMINS
What is the point of rules if not everyone follows. Another reason there are so many problems in ENT Community.
Please take away your denied and leave it for another ADMIN to ban. The one who will ban because they don't like fountain farming!
How ridiculous was that last sentence? Shows how messed up ENT Admins are and how they can't follow the rules laid out by ENT and they abuse ban privilege."
I gave you this response,

In my opinion, change to this:
1. Leaving - No ban, Autoban handles this. A complete description on how autoban works.
2. Refusal to play - Length of ban: X to Y
3. Feeding/Suiciding (couriers+heroes) - Length of ban: X to Y
4. Item Destruction - Lengths of ban: X to Y
5. Maliciously using skills against your own teammates - Lengths of ban: X to Y
6. Abusing share control - Lengths of ban: X to Y
7. Giving away an allied hero position in the intent to ruin the game - Lengths of ban: X to Y
8. Fountain Farming (3+ minutes) - Lengths of ban: X to Y
9. Votekick abuse - Lengths of ban: X to Y
10. Intentionally spamming Pause/Save Game to hinder game play - Lengths of ban: X to Y
11. Maphacking - 1 year
12. Glitching - Lengths of ban: X to Y
13. Ban Dodging - Length of ban : 1 Year (There's no permaban feature)
14. Flaming - Length of ban: X to Y.
15. Setting up teams - Length of ban: X to Y
(Note: This would be if you ask a friend to get on the enemy team and feed, or if you set up two computers and feed yourself)
Combined come stuff that I think falls under the same category for neatness, and added the last one.
(Fixed a spelling error on "heroes" too)
For times, I would say (all of these for a first time offense):
1: N/A, autoban handles
2: 3-7 days
3: 7-14 days
4: 7-14 days
5: 7-14 days
6: 3-7 days
7: 7-14 days
8: 2-3 days
9: 1-2 days
10: 1-7 days (7 days only given in games like Legion, where pausing can kill the enemy king if done at the right time)
11: 1 year + stat clear
12: 14 days - 1 month
13: 1 year + stat clear
14: 1-3 days
15: 1-3 months + stat clear" I felt you needed to know the ban durations of the times and what do I get back for it, this nice response

Well wouldn't this be nice to know if you want to play by rules.
Admins can't have one set of rules to ban by and the PUBLIC rules are not the same?
Do you see the gap?
Completely ridiculously.
I understand and applaud you for follow 3mins plus. But not fair if other Admins don't.
Also don't you think the PUBLIC Dota rules should be updated by the rules ADMIN ban by? Only makes since. I saw about 3 there, that are not on the public rules."
You have complained to me when I denied the ban request for fountain farming,

The official up-to-date list of ENT DotA rules can always be found here.
• Rules apply to Enterprise-hosted DotA games only. This means that private game hosters using ENT services are exempt from these rules, but may choose to follow them if desired.
• Rules are subject to change without prior notification.
Our main goal in DotA hosting is to make the gaming experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone. The following rules determine what questionable strategies and actions are prohibited or allowed. Generally, when playing, use only strategies that were intentional by the map makers; do not exploit any aspect of the map that was not intended to be included.
The following are prohibited
• Leaving: you may not leave on a 5v5, 5v4, 4v5, or 4v4
• Plug pulling: disconnecting from the game instead of leaving, or repeatedly disconnecting and then reconnecting to activate the lag screen.
• Item destruction: destroying, hiding, or stealing team items; suiciding courier; massing cheap items; repeatedly buying and then selling items
• Map hacking and other third-party programs: see our policy on third party programs (link) that ruin the gaming experience for other players; map hacking or similar acts can lead to a permanent ban
• Exploiting glitches: any unintentional aspect in the game that can give you an unfair advantage or cause the game to crash is strictly prohibited from usage
• Deliberately helping the enemy team: giving items; intentional feeding
• AFK: excessive AFKing; moving while AFKing to prevent AFK kick
• Excessive fountain farming: fountain farming for over three minutes or so is not allowed; end the game as soon as possible, because kills do not give you an important bonus• Extreme impoliteness: racism or excessive trash talking
• Unsharing: of a courier that has been crowed by another player (unless control was abused)
The following are fully acceptable
• Backdooring: this is a legitimate strategy
• Taking enemy team's items when dropped
• Leaving when there is less than four players on either team
• Sharing: consumable items and or regeneration items such as tps, potions, ring of health etc.
• Tossing/Forcestaff allies into enemy fountain while fountain farming
The following describes general protocols that should be used and that are acceptable
• Votekicking: You must votekick a player who has broken any of the above rules. Failure to do so may result in a temporary ban.
