When you register for an TSPG account we gather two sets of information. This information includes:

• Email address for registration.
• IP address used to perform actions on this website (ie: registering account, logging in, editing account, hosting servers, etc.)

When you connect to any server created using this service, your IP address will also be logged as per Zandronum's design.
This information is encoded when viewing the server log files. Server hosters will be able to see your IP.

We use this information to perform operational tasks such as password resets and if need be, to forbid people who break the rules and polices from using this service.
We will not hand this information over to any 3rd parties at all. We will however hand it over to law enforcement if it is requested of us to do so.

Zandronum has private messaging within its chat functionality.
Messages within private messaging are only logged to TSPG staff for moderation purposes. Hosters cannot see these messages.
Please refrain from sending personal information within private messages.

AI assistance is allowed in submission of WAD/PK3 work to our service. However, uploaders remain responsible for everything they submit.

Our moderation team is small, and investigating uploads by the masses is not plausible. We have nearly 70 new registrations a month and hundreds of new wad files uploaded monthly.
AI generated content has become increasingly more difficult to spot as time goes on, so we have to adjust our ruleset to be fair to our small staff team and to our community of talented programmers.

We encourage handcrafted mods because the creativity, effort, and personal touches of their creators are what make our doom community so special. If you use AI, take the time to understand, review, and refine what it produces.

With that in mind, these are our new rules about AI-generated game content:

• Unauthorized use of someone else’s work.
  AI-assisted edits, rewrites, or additions do not give you permission to redistribute another person’s mod, code, maps, artwork, or other assets. Follow the original work’s license and any applicable permissions. If those do not allow your intended use, obtain the creator’s permission before uploading. Giving credit alone does not replace permission.
• Unreviewed or spam uploads.
  Review and test your submission before sharing it. Uploads containing substantial broken functionality, unusable generated content, or repeated near-identical releases may be removed, whether AI was involved or not.
• Other rule violations.
  AI-generated content must follow the same rules as any other content, please review our full terms and policies before submitting.
• Being clear about AI usage.
  If AI generated a substantial part of the content or code you are distributing, briefly disclose that in the credits of your mod.

Staff may either ban a player from hosting or from both hosting and joining based on context.
A player's punishment length is decided on staff discretion based on severity of the infraction.
Our site-wide rules can be found here.

• Staff may moderate any server as needed.
• Staff may join private servers if there is a need to do so.
• Staff may view the logs of your server as well as rcon password (please use passwords that you do not use for other things).
• Staff may determine if an action or behavior breaks the spirit of our policy / rules and moderate accordingly.
• Staff will not consider donor status as immunity from consequences.
• Staff will not engage in unwarranted personal attacks or harassment.
• Staff will not administrate for personal reasons.

VPN/Proxy are not to be used on TSPG, as they inherently dissolve security within our services.
We implement an anti-proxy blacklist that forbids proxy access to our services. This is to ensure safety for all of our users.
By accessing our services, you are agreeing that you will NOT be using mentioned mediums to hide your identity.
