• Advertising other servers or communities is STRICTLY PROHIBITED and will result in a ban.
• Third-party programs that give an unfair advantage are forbidden. This includes hacks, unauthorized crosshairs, injectors and modifiying gamefiles to remove entities from the game aswell as any form of software or changes to give you an advantage.

• The Staff Team reserves the right to remove any disruptive or rule-breaking player at any time.
• OOC chat is not to be used for roleplay communication (This should rarely be used). Use a phone or radio in character.

• New players may not receive large sums of money,This is to preserve balance, progression & economy.
• Be considerate of streamers. Avoid playing copyrighted music in public areas. Playing music in private homes / vehicles where others cannot hear is at your own risk.
• During server-wide events (e.g., concerts, mayoral debates, funerals, etc.), players are not permitted to interfere or disrupt the event until it has fully concluded.
• We are open to serious roleplay scenarios that may impact these events, but they must receive prior approval from senior staff. These events require significant time and effort from developers, staff, and players, and should not be derailed by low-effort interactions.
• We won't step in to resolve personal conflicts or issues within friend groups. However, if your behavior outside the server contributes to a toxic environment or harms another members well-being, we reserve the right to take action, including removal from the community, no matter where the conduct took place.
• You must remain in character throughout any active scene. If you suspect a rule has been broken, finish the roleplay and report it afterward using the appropriate channels. The only exceptions are severe violations such as hate speech, sexual content, or extreme harassment these should be reported immediately.
• Transferring money, items, or any goods between your characters is strictly prohibited. This is considered an abuse of game mechanics. Doing so through intermediaries (other players) is also a clear case of metagaming, as your characters have no in-character connection and should not interact.
• If you're banned and lose access to our Discord, don’t worry you can still appeal through our website. We know everyone makes mistakes, and our team aims to be fair. To keep things unbiased, a different staff member (not the one who banned you) will review your appeal.
• Use tickets and channels appropriately. Keep messages clear, respectful, and on-topic. Spamming, trolling, joke reports, or arguing with staff may lead to restrictions or punishment.
• No Backseat Moderating. If someone breaks a rule, report it privately. Don’t try to handle it in public chats it causes confusion and unnecessary drama.
