This may appear to be a pretty long list of things not to do on our servers, but they are all common sense requests designed to make sure you have as much fun as possible in the game.

We are putting together a team of Official Server Administrators to help us look after the Official Servers. These Admins will be hand picked from all parts of the community based on their skill and knowledge of the game as well their levels of maturity and professionalism. We will not be taking applications for this team so please don't expend any energy asking.

There is a new abuse report form which you can find here[www.americasarmy.com]. Should you find yourself on one of our Official Servers and have your day spoilt by someone, never fear, you can fill out the report form and submit it to us for review by our team of Official Server Admins. If you mark the report as something that is "Happening Now" an Admin will deal with the issue as they see best.



Please do not expect any direct response or interaction with the Administrator as your report will be taken as an alert to an issue not as final proof that something has happened.

If you do find the need to make a report please make sure to be as accurate as possible so we know what to look out for. The support request form is there to help you out, please do not use it unless you really need to.

Please do not make any threads or posts relating to Admin actions on our forums, any such post will be removed immediately. Should you have an issue with an Admins actions please send an email to [email protected] and we will consider it.
