Permanent bans will be issued at the discretion of staff for these offenses. All exploits and bugs must be reported to server staff immediately.

• Any use of server scripts or addons that goes against the intended purpose will result in a ban. Example: using sit anywhere to glitch into bases.

• Do not Metagame - the use of information gained from a 3rd party program (Example: Discord, Forums, etc) or an OOC (Out of Character) setting in a roleplay scenario. Example: A thief claims to have 2 printers in their base in OOC - a police officer may not use this information to get a warrant or make the player wanted.

• Do not Powergame - creating non consensual RP against another player (Example: telling them that they have non-existant drugs in their possesion so you have an excuse to arrest them), scamming or interrupting a transaction, bending RP to create an unfair advantage or win an RP situation that you otherwise may have lost.

• Do not FailRP - treat each situation with a touch of realism. Example: jumping on the body of a tased player to intentionally kill them.

• Do not Fading Door Abuse (FDA) - using the keybind or other owner exclusive methods to open/close doors when involved in a roleplay situation. Example: using your keybind to open/close a door during a base raid or a wiremod trigger that only opens the door for the owner & doesn't hold for the minimum 4 seconds.

• Disconnecting from the server after being raided is not permitted and may result in a ban. If you lose a raid, don't be a spoil sport - give them a chance to benefit from their raid before leaving.

• Any conduct that is in breach of the following rules will be considered misuse of wiremod, and may result in an immediate removal of your wiremod access, or in extreme cases an immediate ban from the server.

• Wiremod can be used inside of your base to create alarms, have automatic doors (they must still hold for 4 seconds) and for other reasonable RP means. If used for any other reason, you are in breach of this rule.
