Rules

1. No hacking. No game-breaking exploits.

2. No racism/hate speech. Don’t spam/flood. Don’t harass via PMs. /speech

- This includes consistent or extremely xenophobic comments (simply found in /speech).

3. Signs with homophobia, racism, admin slander, detailed nudity, or hate speech aren’t allowed.

4. Play fairly. Don’t ask or harass admins for favors or advantages.

5. Don’t slander admins, impersonate them, or give them commands/orders.

6. Names must have over 3 unique, consecutive English characters. Blank names aren’t allowed.

7. Names that are stolen or duplicated aren’t allowed.

8. Don’t wall off monuments/radtowns. Walling off quarry and water well is allowed.

- Blocking ~20%+ of a monument's radius subjects multiple parts of your base/walls/structures to removal. To avoid this conflict, build farther away from monuments, so you are not building right along the "no-build zone."

9. Do not BUILD, LIVE, OR STORE LOOT inside of foundations.

- The cave "bucket" exploit is allowed.

- The vast majority of building exploits are now allowed due to their absurdly common usage in the Rust build metagame.

Please, don't hesitate to ask Stannis about any bugs or exploits you think might be relevant. We cannot prevent all bugs and exploits, but we do target these abusive violations.

1. Spam/flooding explained:

- Spam is considered needless things written in public chat that are not used for talking purposes. It is mostly synonymous with flooding. Spam may include writing completely incomprehensible or needless things on a continual basis.

- Flooding is considered typing the same thing over and over, or collaborating with your clan or group to all type the same thing with the purpose to create further spam or flooding. If you flood or spam chat, you are subject to a mute.

     Why is this not allowed? It's a nuisance to people who moderate and read every single message of chat. Additionally, it's extremely distracting for people who are actually playing and not using the game as an AOL chatroom. 

5. Regarding slander toward the Owner:

- If an admin is abusing, please post evidence to Stannis via discord PM. 

- Any & all mistakes will be admitted to (99% of the time in a publicly displayed manner as well), as it's never a problem. Mistakes happen. Throwing insults blindly is not something that can be gladly serviced with a smile.

- The owner shadowplays/records literally all of his own personal gameplay. You should have the same approach if you wish to protect yourself against hackers and abuse of ANY sort. If you have abuse accusations as far as gameplay goes, please have recordings, or ask the owner to provide a recording. I will be happy to do so at the end of the wipe, when risking revealing information is no longer possible.

6 & 7. Unique names & duplicate names explained:

- Duplicate names unfortunately allow mistakeful bans and mutes to happen.

- Intentional name stealing is also sometimes used as a scummy tactic to inside raid players or to infiltrate their clans. It's a form of identity theft in-game.

- Sometimes, stolen names end up in a player being wrongfully reported when in reality they meant to report another player.

Thus, avoiding duplicate names when it is likely that conflict will arise is productive. though it may seem annoying, we're thankful that you avoid these conflicts and issues.
