Evolved

To keep the server fun for everyone, we expect all players to stick to the rules listed below.
Violating these might result in a warning/kick, or a temporary/permanent ban depending on the violation and severity.

WARNINGS - KICKS - BANS

All official warnings/kicks and all bans are posted in the server's Discord in the #action-logs channel.
Ban appeals can be made through the Website Ticket System.

GENERAL EXPECTATIONS

- This is a friendly server, don't be a dick to others.
- Your in-game name should match your Discord name.
- In-game names must be in English characters.
- Killing and looting players is not allowed.
- Do not place sexual or explicit images or drawings on signs, those will be removed and punished.
- The global chat language is English only, if you want to speak another language, create a team and use Team chat.
- Attempting to bypass the rules or not following them, will lead to a warning/kick, or ban.
- If you have a problem with a feature that got added to the server, don't start drama about it, but instead start a civil discussion.

IN-GAME CHAT

- Do not spam/flood the in-game chat with nonsense.
- Do not call out cheaters/exploiters, or hackers in chat, report them to staff in private.
- Swearing in chat is fine, but don't do it excessively.
- Acting as a staff member when you are not. This could be telling a player they will be punished instead of going to a staff member to have them take care of the situation.
- We do not tolerate saying the name of any other server(s) while on our server. This is punishable by being publicly said, or privately. For this, you will be temp-banned.

PLAYER CONDUCT

- Do not interfere with staff business, if a member of staff is working on something with a player, you are not supposed to tell the staff how to do their work, nor are you supposed to interrupt by telling the player what to do.
- Not one player or team is more valuable than our community at large. If we get excessive complaints about a person or team, and/or if their actions, attitude, or behaviour is driving people (staff or community) off our server intentionally or otherwise, they may be removed from this community.
- No promoting/advertising of other Discords or Rust servers.
- You may be banned without warning for:
   * Being staff/owner for a competing Rust server.
   * Trying to recruit from our community for other servers.
   * Aiding in the creation and/or promotion of another server.
   * Taking ideas, strategies, events, etc, from our server to replicate for a competing server.
- Staff will aid in investigating player reports and concerns, make sure when reaching out to staff for help to include what you need help with, spamming "STAFF" or "HELP" is not appropriate.
- Spamming voice, in-game chat, private messages, or Discord text/voice channels with staff pings or toxicity may result in a kick and/or ban.
- Report evidence and concerns of staff to "Skillz" on our Discord.
- Anyone found threatening, attempting or succeeding at either an attack or threat will be permanently removed from our server. Though you will not be allowed to appeal. Incase of DDOS attacks you will be reported to the authorities, as Denial of Service Attacks are a Felony.
