Basic Rules

The following are basic offenses which are NOT allowed. In most cases will lead to a mute, but could potentially result in a ban based on severity.

Disallowed Behavior:

*Threats - This will lead to a PERM ban if made legitimately. Not bannable if they're threatening to kill the other player IN GAME. (Examples: IRL death threats, DDoS threats, Doxxing, etc.)
*Harassing a Player / Trolling a Player - We allow some trolling, to an extent. If the staff believe you have exceeded the maximum extent, we will warn you. General harassment is not allowed!
