Player Rules:

1. Disrupting the chat is not allowed.

This includes entering a flame war over insulting* other people and being a general pain in the ass.
*insult: A word or phrase, regardless of the language it is written in, which in any way may deal emotional damage to the person (or persons) receiving it.
Note: A single insult is NOT considered reason for punishment. Any escalation from that insult is (for example if multiple players enter into a large argument over what has occured). In such cases of continuous arguments, both sides should be punished regardless of their roles in the argument.
Any such person will suffer the consequences as determined by the context of what has occured.

2. Advertising is not allowed.

We don't care about other servers. Don't put them in the chat.
Doing this will get you a severe punishment.

3. Hacking, exploiting and abusing bugs are all disallowed.

This includes using certain client-side mods to change your hitbox or any other part of your character which may result in your advantage.
This is considered a very serious offense and will be punished accordingly.

4. Abusing features of the server to give yourself an unfair advantage in the Los Santos Gang Wars Area is not allowed.

Spawning a vehicle (or multiple vehicles) after your death is considered such an abuse.
This just isn't a nice thing to do. Punishments are left to the whims of the staff member who responds.

5. Ruining events is not allowed.

The staff members put a lot of effort into their events sometimes. Don't ruin it for them.
If you break this rule, you're at the mercy of the staff member whose event you ruined.

6. Disrupting what people are doing in San Fierro is not allowed.

This includes deathmatching and any other form of obstruction on people who are attempting to use server features in San Fierro.
Even though there are automated systems in place already for this, staff members are in their right to punish those prematurely who break this rule.

NOTE: These are the ONLY official rules. Everything else is to be considered a "recommendation" or just general advice for better player behaviour etiquette.

Staff rules:

1. Abusing staff rights to cause the disadvantage (or advantage) of any player or group of players is not allowed.

This includes giving away money, vehicles, health, armor, free warps (without good reason), senseless bans, kicks, mutes and much more. Use your better judgement.
Your every action is logged. The logs are reviewed periodically. Be aware that if abuse is detected, it will result in punishment.

2. You must be UNBIASED* and NOT show any FAVOURITISM* in your decisions.
* To be neutral.
* To show favour towards another person or group of people.

As a staff member, it is your job to be the judge during a situation. As such, you must look at what has happened completely objectively and not show any bias towards a single person or group of people.
Such a thing becomes clear over the course of your staff membership. If a pattern of favouritism is detected, you may be punished.

3. Use your better judgement.

Do not rely on set in stone rules alone. You are a staff member because we require thinking people to keep the server a better place. We do not need robots who follow rules blindly. Think for yourself.
This is just general life advice.

4. As a staff member, you're not allowed to be offended.

Yes, that's right. You were promoted because you appear to be more mature than anyone else. Don't ruin that by entering petty childish arguments over something that happens to offend you.
Again, just general life advice.

5. Punishments are completely up to the staff member responding to a situation.

No official guidelines exist for how long or in which way a person should be punished for a certain action.
