Global Server Rules

[MelonDisrupt]

Section 1 - Player Eligibility

G1.1 - Minimum Player Age: 18 Years [PERM BAN]
All players must be at least 18 years of age to play on this server. This is strict and non-negotiable. If you are found to be under 16 through any means (voice chat, admission, evidence), you will be permanently banned immediately. Lying about your age will still result in a permanent ban if caught later.

G1.2 - Minimum Character Age: 18 Years [PERM BAN]
Every character must be 18 years old or older. You cannot roleplay as a minor under any circumstances, including backstory, flashbacks, or references.

Section 2 - Account Conduct

G2.1 - Cheating, Hacking & Third-Party Mods [PERM BAN]
Using any software, tool, or modification that gives you an unfair advantage is permanently banned. This includes mod menus, aimbots, speed hacks, teleport scripts, wallhacks, and texture packs that remove walls. No appeal on first offence.

G2.2 - One Account Per Player [PERM BAN]
Only one account per player. Creating alt accounts for any reason — bypassing bans, transferring money, gaining advantages, or starting fresh — is not allowed. Both accounts will be banned.

G2.3 - Realistic Character Names [ADMIN JAIL]
Character names must be realistic. No celebrity names, fictional characters, memes, or offensive names.
Good: Marcus Williams, Sarah Chen, Diego Ramirez
Bad: John Wick, Deez Nuts, Walter White, XxSniperxX

G2.4 - Bug Exploitation & Glitch Abuse [PERM BAN]
If you find a bug, report it to staff. Do not abuse it for gain. Using bugs to duplicate money, items, or vehicles is bannable. "I didn't know it was a bug" is not an excuse.

G2.5 - Respect & Harassment Policy [BAN]
Treat other players with respect. OOC harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia, doxxing, or real-life threats are strictly prohibited. Your character can be rude in-character, but you cannot target other players. This applies to Discord, voice chat, /b chat, and all associated platforms.

G2.6 - No Advertising [BAN]
Do not advertise other GTA servers, communities, or services. This includes server names, IPs, Discord links, or recruiting for another server.

G2.7 - Drama Rule [ADMIN JAIL]
Any person who is found to be creating drama between our community and any other community, feeding information into them, feeding intelligence into another community, scopes of our support, information we may deem 'sensitive' will be banned from our community, indefinitely.

This rule extends to anyone who actively comes into our community bringing drama from another community into our community. For example: You have an outstanding forum report or report on another server, you come here and continue that drama on our server. The punishment for this extension is usually a 60 minute admin jail, however in extreme circumstances can extend to a 7 day ban, maximum. Repeat offenders can be permanently banned.

Section 3 - Roleplay Standards

R3.1 - Remain In Character At All Times [WARNING]
When in the game world, you are your character. Use /b or (( brackets )) for OOC chat. Don't talk about game mechanics, real life, or other players while in-character.
Bad: "Lol this game is so buggy" in normal chat
Good: /b Hey, I need to go AFK for 2 minutes

R3.2 - Realistic Roleplay Behaviour [ADMIN JAIL]
Your character must behave like a real person. No superhuman feats, no ignoring common sense, no acting purely to "win."
Bad: Running into a police station alone with a gun demanding prisoner release
Good: Calling for backup before confronting police

R3.3 - Roleplay Injuries & Conditions [ADMIN JAIL]
If your character is injured, sick, or has a condition, roleplay it. Getting shot means pain. Breaking a leg means no sprinting. Being drunk means stumbling. The health system applies conditions — you must roleplay them.

R3.4 - Powergaming Prohibited [1-3 DAY BAN]
Powergaming means forcing an action on another player without giving them a chance to respond. Use /me to describe what you attempt and /do to ask about outcomes.
Bad: /me grabs John and throws him to the ground, knocking him unconscious
Good: /me attempts to grab John by the collar and pull him down

R3.5 - New Life Rule (NLR) [BAN]
If your character dies (PK), they forget everything leading to their death. You cannot remember who killed you, return to the area, or seek revenge. A Character Kill (CK) is permanent — the character can never be played again.

Section 4 - Metagaming (ZERO TOLERANCE)

R4.1 - Metagaming: Use of OOC Information [3-DAY BAN MINIMUM]
Metagaming is one of the most severely punished offences. It means using information your character does not and could not know. If you didn't learn it through in-game roleplay, your character doesn't know it.

This includes:

• Reading nametags to identify someone you haven't met
• Using Discord or voice chat to share IC locations/plans
• Watching a streamer and using their position
• Knowing someone's name without being told in-game
• Using info from a different character on your alt

R4.2 - Metagaming Punishment Escalation [UP TO PERM]

• 1st Offence: Minimum 3-day ban. No exceptions.
• 2nd Offence: 14-day ban.
• 3rd Offence: Permanent ban. No appeal.
• Stream Sniping: Permanent ban on first offence. If you are caught watching someone's stream and acting on it, you are gone instantly.

Section 5 - Combat Rules

C5.1 - Random Deathmatch (RDM) [1-3 DAY BAN]
You must have a valid IC reason to attack or kill someone. No random violence.
Bad: Shooting someone because you were bored, punching random people for fun
Good: A heated IC argument that escalated, defending yourself from a threat

C5.2 - Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM) [1-3 DAY BAN]
Do not use your vehicle as a weapon. Intentionally running people over is VDM. Your car is for driving, not killing.

C5.3 - Roleplay Before Combat [ADMIN JAIL]
Before any violent encounter, there must be roleplay — a verbal confrontation, a demand, a threat. You cannot silently draw and shoot.
Correct escalation: Verbal argument > /me draws weapon > Give them a chance to comply > Escalate only if they don't

C5.4 - Fear Roleplay (FearRP) [ADMIN JAIL]
Value your character's life. If someone has a gun aimed at you at close range and you're unarmed, you comply. A real person wouldn't quickdraw against a shotgun in their face.

C5.5 - Combat Logging [BAN]
Disconnecting during active roleplay to avoid consequences is combat logging. If you genuinely crash, reconnect immediately and contact staff to continue the scenario.

Section 6 - Crime & Robberies

C6.1 - Robbery Requirements [ADMIN JAIL]
Robberies require at least 2 people. Roleplay it properly — demands, time to comply. Maximum $500 cash per robbery. You can also take visible held items. Don't strip someone of everything.

C6.2 - Scamming Limits [WARNING]
IC scamming is allowed up to $10,000 in value. Anything above requires admin approval. OOC scamming is never allowed and results in a ban.

C6.3 - Revenge Killing [BAN]
If you were PK'd, your character has no memory of the event. Going after the person who killed you using any information is metagaming + RDM. Both are bannable.


Section 7 - Vehicle Rules

V7.1 - Realistic Driving [WARNING]
Drive like your car cost you money. No 200mph city cruising, no ramp jumping, no battering rams. Use common sense.
Bad: 150mph down Vinewood Boulevard in a sedan for no reason
Good: Driving within reason for the situation

V7.2 - Vehicle Capability Limits [WARNING]
Vehicles can only do what they realistically could. SUVs/trucks go off-road. Sports cars stay on roads. Motorcycles fit through alleys but crash easily. Don't drive a supercar through a river.

V7.3 - No Despawning During Active RP [ADMIN JAIL]
Do not store your vehicle through game mechanics during active roleplay. If police are chasing you, you cannot park in a garage to despawn it. That's vehicle combat logging.

V7.4 - Emergency Vehicles Restricted [ADMIN JAIL]
Police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks are for on-duty faction members only. Do not steal emergency vehicles unless it's part of legitimate criminal RP with proper buildup.


Section 8 - Faction Rules

F8.1 - Chain of Command [WARNING]
Official factions have ranks and a chain of command. Follow orders from superiors and roleplay your rank appropriately. A new recruit doesn't act like the chief of police.

F8.2 - No Cop Baiting [ADMIN JAIL]
Intentionally provoking law enforcement to start a chase or shootout is trolling, not roleplay. No burnouts at the station, no honking at cops and speeding off, no committing crimes solely for police response.

F8.3 - Criminal Orgs Must Have Story [WARNING]
Gangs must develop naturally through RP. You can't create a gang on day one and start shooting. Build relationships, establish territory through RP. Quality over quantity.

F8.4 - Corruption RP Requires Admin Approval [BAN]
Want to play a dirty cop or corrupt paramedic? You must get admin approval first. No going rogue within a legal faction without permission.

F8.5 - Faction Leadership Quality [WARNING]
Faction leaders are responsible for their members' RP quality. Factions consistently producing poor roleplay may have leadership replaced by server management.

Section 9 - Wealth & Asset Roleplay
A9.1 - Roleplay Your Wealth Tier [ADMIN JAIL]
Your character's lifestyle, clothing, vehicles, and behaviour must match their financial situation. A "poor" character shouldn't wear designer clothes and drive a Lamborghini. Build wealth through roleplay - get a job, run a business, work your way up.

A9.2 - No Cross-Character Asset Transfer [BAN]
You cannot transfer money, vehicles, items, or properties between your own characters. Each character's wealth is independent. Using a friend as a middleman is the same violation.

A9.3 - Realistic Asset Acquisition [ADMIN JAIL]
Everything your character owns must make sense with their story. If an admin asks how your gas station attendant owns three sports cars and you can't explain it through RP, assets may be removed.

A9.4 - Property & Business Roleplay [WARNING]
If you own a property or business, use it and roleplay with it. Properties and businesses that go unused for extended periods may be reclaimed by administration.

A9.5 - No Unrealistic Money Farming [BAN]
Grinding jobs mechanically without roleplay (robot farming) is not allowed. You can work jobs, but you should be roleplaying while doing it. Running deliveries in silence with zero interaction for hours isn't roleplay.


Section 10 - Mature & Erotic Content

E10.1 - Age Requirements for ERP: 18+ [PERM BAN] All players involved in any erotic roleplay must be 18+ in real life, and all characters must be 18+. This extends to appearance and assets: any character who looks underage, and any character model or skin depicting a minor, is prohibited in sexual content regardless of a claimed age. "They're 18 in their backstory" is not a defence. Zero tolerance for any sexual content involving minors or minor-presenting characters. Instant permanent ban.

E10.2 - ERP Must Be Private [WARNING] ERP is permitted only in fully private, non-public locations — a locked residence, a private interior, or an instanced property where no other player can see or enter the scene. ERP in any public or semi-public area is prohibited, even if the area appears empty at the time. If you cannot guarantee privacy, do not begin. Repeat or deliberate offences escalate per the standard punishment guidelines.

E10.3 - Mandatory OOC Consent [BAN] All ERP must be consensual out of character. Before anything begins, use /b to confirm every participant is an adult and comfortable. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, for any reason, without explanation — "stop" ends the scene instantly. Continuing after a decline or withdrawal is harassment and will be treated as such.

E10.4 - No Streaming or Recording [BAN] ERP may not be streamed, recorded, clipped, or shared in any form on any platform. Capturing or distributing another player's ERP without their explicit OOC permission is a serious breach. This protects player privacy and keeps the server clear of third-party platform violations.

E10.5 - Rape & Sexual Assault Strictly Prohibited [PERM BAN] Any form of rape or sexual assault roleplay is completely banned. No exceptions, no "but we both agreed out of character." It does not exist on this server. Instant permanent ban.

E10.6 - Prohibited Extreme Content [PERM BAN] The following is permanently banned regardless of any claimed consent: any content involving minors, bestiality, necrophilia, and any comparable extreme sexual content. Instant permanent ban, no appeal.

E10.7 - No Solicitation or Real-World Exchange [BAN] ERP is roleplay only. Offering, requesting, or exchanging ERP for real money, for currency tied to real payments, or for any out-of-game benefit is prohibited. Advertising "services" of this kind in any channel — in-game, Discord, or elsewhere — is not allowed.

Section 11 - Administration & Enforcement

A11.1 - Character Resets by Senior Management
Senior Management reserves the right to partially or fully reset your character if you consistently roleplay incorrectly or break character story. Only Senior Management has this authority - no other admin level.

A11.2 - Admin Instructions Must Be Followed [BAN]
When an admin gives you an instruction, follow it. If you disagree, comply first, then appeal through Discord. Arguing with admins in-game or being disrespectful to staff results in additional punishment.

A11.3 - Punishment Guidelines

• Verbal Warning - Minor first offences, honest mistakes
• Written Warning - Repeated minor offences after being told
• Admin Jail - Disruptive behaviour, ignoring admin instructions
• Temp Ban (1-14 days) - RDM, VDM, powergaming, metagaming, combat logging
• Permanent Ban - Hacking, repeated metagaming, underage players, extreme content, doxxing, real-life threats

Punishments are guidelines - staff may adjust based on severity, context, and history.

A11.4 - Appeals Process
If punished unfairly, appeal through Discord. Be honest — lying in an appeal results in permanent denial. Permanent bans can be appealed after 30 days.

A11.5 - Rules Subject to Change
Rules may be updated at any time. When changed, you'll be asked to re-read and accept them. "I didn't know the rules changed" is not an excuse.

[MelonDisrupt]

Adjustments made, 18+ members only.
Previous requirement was 16> - however, we've raised this to an 18+ only community.

If we suspect this isn't the case, your account will be suspended until we can validate your age using an identification partner.

ADJUSTMENTS:

Following the migration to FiveM, subject to RAGEMP closure. We have been consulting, as a result and after review legally and following R*'s guide and policies. I am now confident to update our section 10 rules, with the following:
