# Rules

Real talk: anarchy-leaning server, claims protect what you claim, the world doesn't.

## Banned (zero-tolerance)

- Slurs, hate speech, targeted harassment by protected class
- Doxing, IRL threats, sharing IRL info
- Real-money trading of accounts or items
- DDoS / exploit attempts against the server, auth, or Discord
- CSAM or other illegal content (chat, signs, books, builds)
- Cheating clients — GrimAC + anti-xray detect; we ban on detection, not suspicion

## Allowed

- PvP anywhere outside claims
- Grief outside claims (don't grief the spawn area itself — use your head)
- Scamming via in-game trade — `/ah` and `/shop` are unrefereed, caveat emptor
- Alts within reason (no botnets, no AFK farms)
- Mean banter, trash-talk, faction beef, "owned by us now" — all fine without slurs

## How bans work

- Posted publicly in Discord `#bans` and committed to `docs/ban-log.md` within 24h
- Reason matches the banned list above — nothing else
- Appeal once, in Discord, within 7 days
- Ban evasion = permanent, all linked accounts

If a ban isn't logged, it isn't valid — call it out.
