Ban duration is at the discretion of the staff members, but generally speaking the process for a ban is as follows:

1. First offence = Verbal warning from Admins
2. Second offence = 1 week ban
3. Third offence = 1 month ban
4. Fourth offence = Permanent ban

- More severe offenses can result in us bypassing the verbal warning, a permanent ban and/or a deleting character data. Examples of these may include hacking, exploiting, toxic behavior, abusive/malicious behavior, and mass VDM or RDM.

- Upon receiving a ban, our discord bot will DM you with your ban reason and the length of the ban. You will need to have DMs enabled on Discord in order to receive this. Alternatively, you can inquire about your ban at discord. It is your responsibility to open a ban appeal at discord at the end of your ban if it is not automatically removed by our Discord bot.

- No KOS (kill on sight) unless it is an agreed-upon between gangs in your respected territory (see Gang Guidelines below) or both parties have made a mutual introduction and understand why combat is occurring. Do not RDM (random death match) or VDM (vehicle deathmatch). You must have a logical reason for killing someone.

- You must value your character's life and the lives of other characters at all times. Therefore, your character's personality and mannerisms should portray fear when faced with a life threat. For example, if you have a gun pointed at you, put your hands up.

- Do not harass or disrespect other members or management. Instead, show respect to other players and keep the real-life drama out of roleplay. Do not use derogatory remarks regarding race, national origin, gender, religion, disabilities, or sexual preference. Do not base a character's roleplay around being heavily toxic, aggressive, or discriminatory.

- You have the right to bear arms inside your home, business, or place of employment. Therefore, you may use deadly force inside your home, business, or place of work if your character's life is at risk. Home and business owners may choose to disallow this at their discretion. Police may ignore hostage-takers demands while at any police precinct.

- New players may be taken hostage but you may not rob or kill them. A new player is any character that is 3 days old or less, indicated by a green turtle above their head.

- Hits and bounties on other players are not allowed.

- No Shooting Surrendering Players: Any player who shoots or kills another player when they are clearly surrendering, either by having their hands up or through clear in-game communication, will be subject to a 7-day ban from the server. This rule is in place to ensure a fair and enjoyable roleplay experience for all members of the community. Violating this rule demonstrates a lack of respect for fellow players and disrupts the immersive environment that we strive to maintain. Repeat offenders will face longer bans or permanent removal from the server at the discretion of server staff.

- Pocket Wiping is prohibited. You shall not at any time remove all items from a player unless you are law enforcement. As an example, when robbing a player you must leave consumables like food and water, collectibles like trading card, mined materials, materials for crafting and any low-value items. Robbers may take all cash that is on a player so please deposit your money at a bank often. Robbers must be respectful of all players whether they are gang affiliated or not and accommodate for roleplay.

- Do not have out-of-character discussions in-game unless located within the OOC underpass near zipcode 539 (subject to change).

- All locations associated with city events are considered safe zones during the entirety of the event. LSIA new player spawn, Crusade Medical, Sandy Medical Center, mine, and foundry are the only permanent safe zones (subject to change).

- You may not wield weapons, and you may not commit a crime of any kind inside a safe zone.

- Do not bait other players by intentionally drawing attention away from another roleplay scenario.

- Do not combat log by logging out of the server in any way to avoid jail or a roleplay situation. However, if it is an emergency or your game crashes, let the other players know in Discord and log back in as soon as possible to finish the roleplay scenario.

- Do not drive off-road only vehicles on paved roadways unless driving to park at a nearby garage after purchase.

- The usage of any form of bulletproof vehicles or objects, which includes vehicles equipped with bulletproof paneling or windows (such as the back window), and the presence of bullet blocking wearable objects during gunfights are explicitly prohibited. Infringement of this rule will result in an automatic, non-negotiable disciplinary action, namely a 7-day ban from the server or worse. The severity of this penalty is designed to enforce a fair and level playing field, promoting balanced confrontations devoid of unfair advantages attained through bulletproof vehicles, or objects during gunfight scenarios.

- Do not use any out-of-character information to benefit your character.

- The use of third-party communication programs is allowed only if the shared information does not disadvantage others. That said, please try to utilize in-game communication methods such as radios, phone calls, and text as much as possible. Communicating in-game helps develop backstories and provides more immersion to everyone else.

- Do not stream snipe. You may not be in another player's live stream while logged in to the server.

- Players must create a realistic human character using the customization system.

- Do not dress your character to resemble an alien or animal.

- Nude models or portions of models are prohibited in public areas and can only be used at private events or locations.

- Character names add a level of immersion and must avoid being disruptive. Examples of common inappropriate or disruptive RP names include but are not limited to:

a. Names that reference known people, characters, brands, places, or icons b. Names that reference slang terms, offensive language, or are just unoriginal. c. Names that consist of multiple words - Do not play as a vigilante. You cannot be Batman, Spider-Man, John Wick, Jason Bourne, Daredevil, etc.
