Meaning: Global chat must be English so everyone (and staff) can understand what is being said.

Example: Two players use another language in global chat for a full conversation.

Meaning: Publicly calling someone a cheater in global chat is not allowed. If you suspect cheating, report it through the support/ticket system so staff can investigate properly.

Example: Saying “PlayerX is hacking” or “Admin check PlayerY, he’s cheating” in global chat instead of opening a ticket.

Meaning: Anything that gives an unfair advantage, abuses a bug, uses third-party tools, or returns on alternate accounts is not allowed.

Example: Recoil scripts/macros, ESP/aim assist, duplication bugs, abusing a monument bug for loot, or playing on an alternate account after being banned.

Meaning: Slurs, discrimination, targeted harassment, threats, or sharing personal information are not allowed.

Example: Using slurs, telling someone to self-harm, threatening someone, or sharing a player’s real-life details.

Meaning: Constant abuse, spam, or ongoing targeted behaviour that ruins chat or harasses players may be punished.

Example: Following a player in chat for a long period insulting them every time they speak, or spamming abuse repeatedly.

Meaning: If your VAC or game ban is newer than 365 days, you cannot play on this server.

Example: A Rust ban from 4 months ago means you are not allowed.

Meaning: Accounts with multiple VAC or game bans are not allowed, even if the bans are old.

Example: Two old VAC bans from years ago means you are not allowed.

Meaning: You can raid, but you cannot permanently trap a base just to ruin it.

Example: Replacing doors/locks and leaving the base sealed so the owner cannot rebuild.

Meaning: Do not leave your locks or codes on someone’s base or their tool cupboard after the raid.

Example: You raid, place a new lock/code, then log off leaving them sealed out.

Meaning: Fully destroying all foundations is allowed and claims the spot.

Example: You remove every foundation so nothing remains.

Meaning: Sealing is only acceptable temporarily during raids — remove it when finished.

Example: Sealing during counters is fine. Leaving it sealed for days is not.

Meaning: You can build near others if you are not blocking access or trapping them.

Example: Building close enough to block exits/doors or forcing turret lines onto them.

Meaning: Do not restrict access to safe zones using walls, turrets, traps, or SAM sites.

Example: Walling entrances or turret-trapping routes into Outpost or Bandit Camp.

Meaning: Raid bases are allowed, but leave them unlocked so they can decay after use.

Example: Building a raid base beside someone’s base, then keeping it locked and maintained for days so you can keep fighting from it.

Meaning: Vehicles and quarry control are contestable — they are not protected by grief rules.

Example: Taking over a quarry or stealing a car or tugboat is allowed.

Meaning: Your total group size must never exceed the team limit listed for that server, even if some members are offline.

Example: On a Duo server, rotating a third player into the same base during the wipe. On a Quad server, rotating a fifth player.

Meaning: You can be friendly, but you cannot coordinate raids, fights, or roaming with another team.

Example: Two teams roaming together, fighting together, or raiding together as a combined group.

Meaning: If you swap members, remove access so old members are not still effectively part of the team.

Example: Removing a player from the group but leaving their sleeping bag access, door codes, turret access, or tool cupboard access in place.

Meaning: If the team breaks the server’s team limit, all members are held responsible.

Example: Saying “It wasn’t me” after exceeding the team limit will still result in punishment for the entire group.
