Community Rules & Standards

Severity Legend

To maintain a fun and fair environment, we use a tiered enforcement system for rule violations:

• 🟨 Minor Severity: Warnings, mutes, and/or asset-based fines.
• 🟧 Medium Severity: Mutes, significant fines, or temporary bans (3-7 days).
• 🟥 Extreme Severity: High-value fines, temporary bans, or permanent removal.

Fines may be based on the value of your total assets (land, vehicles, equipment, and cash). These can be percentage-based (e.g., 20% of net worth) to ensure fairness across all player levels.
