Recently I've been getting a lot of pushback from players stating the "No intentional hostage-killing" or "Out of spawn by 2:15" isn't in the rules. Where could I find a list of such rules beyond the code of conduct material upon server load-in?
 
Last I remember is that we do not have to enforce hostage killing as the server automatically kicks after 5 I think. And 2:15 round time would fall under "Admins have final say in server" which comes out of the rules.
 
Typically I will warn CT's out of spawn by 1:30, otherwise they're dragging out gameplay. 1:30 is the same time I have been using for the past several years.
 
Next time some one complains about the rules, tell them with admin chat to come and complain here on the forums (where we will just laugh our butts off) instead of in-game. If they won't stop, silence them and let them have a few minutes to calm down. If all else fails and they simply hate our rules and want the whole world to know, give them a kick.

As for your last question, here is the list of server-specific rules (minus Jail):
All Servers:
Players must attempt the objective. CT's defuse a bomb, T's plant a bomb. W/W/K
Re-buying of grenades is prohibited. W/K
On bomb maps (Highschool/Dust 2), wait 20 seconds before dropping the bomb from an AFK T.
Admin less on servers with low population, extra warning is okay.
Dust 2:
Spawn Camping - Out to Long A or B tunnels or Catwalk by 1:30, T-Spawn Clear. You may double back through spawn but no camping. W/K
Highschool:
Spawn Camping - T must be through T stairs, parking lot tunnel, and side yard by 1:30. W/K
Office:
Spawn Camping - CT must be out of garage, side rooms, yards, and front office by 1:30.
CT must make an attempt to rescue hostages, W/W/K
Italy
CT must be out of spawn by 2:15
CT must make an attempt to rescue hostages, W/W/K

Finally, the admin trainers and the G, O, and Admin Q&A forums are the places and people to go to if you need to more specific rules for other issues. Add any AT to your Steam Friends list. We want to help.

Hope this helps. :)

Italy's round time is longer than the rest of the servers so we had to change it from 1:30 to 2:15 to prevent excessive camping.

Thanks so much, Jolly! I'm glad eGO has such a wide community and dedicated admin culture... I feel empowered! I always ask in #global before doing something I'm not sure about and between the forums and global chat, I always feel like I have great guidance.

I'll continue to do my best to keep order and make the games as fair/smooth as possible!

Getting senile in your golden years, Big 'Tex?
 
Who is this Dr. Death guy ... looks like he's been on the site a while ...

I am best described as a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a crunchy taco shell, or soft flour tortilla depending on the day of the week.

I can in only follow in your footsteps, oh wise one.

Don't make me break out my sock, boy.
