Darkrp Server rules

(1) GENERAL RULES & INFO

1.1 While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure the server is not disrupted or abused in any way.

1.2 Users are not to attempt to circumvent a temporary ban or other administrator action, unless there is enough proof. The called staff member decides for how much time the ban will be applied, and then report to a high-rank staff member

1.3 The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these rules is up to staff and not users. In addition, we reserve the right to ban (temporarily or permanently) anyone who willfully violates the server rules, as access to the server is a privilege and not a right.

1.4 Unless specified otherwise for a specific rule (i.e immediate punishment), punishments are handed out after the user has received only one (1) warning and has chosen to disregard it. Depending on how much serious is the problem, punishments might be applied without warnings.

1.5 Do not expect an admin to take any action for any situation without substantial proof!

1.6 Use English only in global chat (OOC or advert). Other languages are allowed in talk, yell, whisper, and group chat.

1.7 Do not apply other server rules to this server! They need to be allowed by a superadmin or above, and then reported to an owner when applied.

1.8 Do not argue with an admin. Normally this leads to problems. If you have an issue with an admin please post it up on our forums.

1.9 Do not tell an admin how to do their job. We might be busy right now.

1.10 Do not impersonate an admin or any player. That includes same RP name, and will get you kicked or banned immediately.

1.11 Do not spam-drop weapons. This means don't dupe your ammo by dropping it.

1.12 Do not mislead players with incorrect rules. If you are not sure that a player has thought out this rule, ask an admin, or check the rules section.

1.13 Do not request an admins assistance in unnecessary situations; only rule breaking. This includes asking for money, or other items that can change RP situations.

1.14 Do not encourage rule breaking. Encountering rulebreaking like killing a player to prevent him mass RDMing is also not allowed.
