Welcome to the expanded donator rules page. If you're a donor, thank you for the tip and enjoy the benefits that come with it. If you aren't, your attention is appreciated regardless 
Most of the server perks granted by purchasing donor are purely cosmetic. However, some of them are vote commands that can impact other players in the server. You are never obligated to use these, and should only use them on players you're certain are breaking rules (check here if you're unsure as to what those are). Frivolous or malicious use of vote commands is donor abuse and can lead to a server ban and donor removal without a refund.
General Rules:
Do not call votes on yourself, or on innocent players.
It's not only distracting, it can also disrupt certain game modes and prevent legitimate votes from being called (either by other donors or normal players using more mundane commands). Calling votes on friends/players "as a joke" or "because they asked for it" is similarly forbidden. Only staff members can cancel in-progress votes, and some commands leave permanent marks on a players punishment record, so take them seriously.
Give proper reasons for calling votes.
This is especially important for votegag, votemute, and voteteamban, as these commands leave permanent entries that any player can check. Even if a vote was originally legitimate, it can be hard to prove that it was if a good reason isn't specified. Vote commblocking someone for "Lol XD" looks suspicious even if the individual was spamming or being offensive to other users. If we can't at least get an idea as to why a vote was called, it can be considered abuse.
Do not exploit commands to gain an in-game advantage.
Most of the methods of doing this have been disabled or patched, but this rule should still be kept in mind in case something else is discovered. Past examples included using /robot to mask animations or /colorme to blend in with the enemy team, anything along similar lines should be avoided.
Do not misuse the donor welcome message.
Being explicit, racist, advertising cheats, impersonating staff or standard server messages with your personal message is forbidden.
Vote Commands and Acceptable Uses:
Voteslay: Causes the target to suicide.
Use common sense when deciding when to call votes, and what on. As always, staff members have the final say. Do what they tell you if it runs counterpoint to what I've listed here.

- Exploiting.
- (Jailbreak/VSH/Dodgeball/SZF) Delaying the round (must be obvious).
- (Jailbreak) Breaking a minor rule as blue, such as freekilling or retiring from warden without a reason (must be obvious).
- (Jailbreak) Freeday abusing.
- (Deathrun) Faking freeruns.
- (Deathrun) Being AFK.
- (VSH) Being friendly (This is VSH-only. Doing this on a deathmatch server will get you banned. Also must be obvious and not simply target prioritization).
- (Dodgeball) Blocking.

- Being excessively rude/toxic to other players.
- Racism.
- Spamming.

- (Deathrun) Ghosting.
- (Trade) Interrupting trade adverts.

- Continuing to exploit after being slayed.
- (Jailbreak) Being AFK as a blue.
- (VSH) Being AFK for an extended period of time.
