This is offered in the spirit of a friendly drive-by grammar nazi offering some proofreading.

 

 

" In addition to these rules, we ask that you are complicit with TF2Center administrators and their requests." -- replace "are complicit with" with "comply with" or "respect" or "cooperate with". Complicity means "doing something illegal."  :)

 

 

But the bigger deal for me is that most of the rest of the rules are just a list of "bad things" --  nowhere does it actually say whether they're allowed or prohibited! Under the section headings for sections 1 through 5, there should be something added like: 

 

"The following are prohibited on TF2Center:"

 

Alternatively, each of the prohibited things would need to be rewritten to include "... are not allowed" in the appropriate places.

 

 

Section 6 obviously does not need this, since its items stand alone.
