Server rules

1. Discord rules

1.1 Respect

No harassment, threats, hate speech, doxxing, impersonation, or targeted abuse.

1.2 Communication

No spam, malicious links, advertising, or attempts to disrupt the community.

1.3 Appeals

Appeal windows are set individually, normally from 3 to 7 days depending on the situation.

2. Fair play and investigations

2.1 Forbidden software

Cheats, ESP, aim assistance, macros, lag switching, and unauthorized automation are forbidden.

2.2 Bug reporting

Do not abuse duplication, protection, economy, or map bugs. Report them privately to staff. A useful report may receive a bonus. Reporting is better for you and your team than abusing a bug and risking a team ban.

2.3 Investigation procedure

When staff requests a check, the player must not leave the server and must follow the instructions. Refusing, delaying, or disconnecting to avoid the check is a violation.

3. Team responsibility

3.1 Cheater association

A team linked to a confirmed cheater is blocked immediately. The rest of the team may submit an appeal.

3.2 Confirmed cheaters

Cheaters cannot be unbanned. The only exception is a hacked account confirmed by Steam and by the RSS investigation.

3.3 Ban evasion

Alternate accounts, changed links, and other attempts to evade a punishment are forbidden.

4. In-game conduct

4.1 Investigation exit

Leaving a staff investigation is forbidden. Leaving during ordinary PvP or a raid is player freedom. RSS does not interfere with those decisions. Unturned already applies its 10-second exit cooldown.

4.2 Stream sniping

Using streams, recordings, or external information to locate or target players results in a permanent ban for the player and their team. An appeal is possible only with evidence.

4.3 Base griefing

Base griefing is part of player freedom. RSS does not impose a separate griefing rule unless another rule is broken.

5. Reports and enforcement

5.1 False reports

False or misleading reports are reviewed individually and handled according to the context.

5.2 Penalties

Staff may issue a warning, temporary restriction, temporary ban, or permanent ban depending on the severity and evidence.

5.3 Evidence

Appeals and reports must include a clear explanation and supporting evidence when available.

Discord verification

A VAC ban from at least 300 days ago does not automatically block verification. A newer VAC ban is sent to staff for manual approval or rejection.

Appeals and account problems are handled through Discord.
