*The use of slurs or insults that are targeted towards group are only permitted in the context of in game lore. Any use of OOC slurs that target OOC groups is not permitted. If you can't tell the difference, then don't use these slurs.
*Despite the absence of a direct ban on the use of national or racial insults, the publication of /pol/ memes, as well as the persecution of community members on ethnic or racial grounds, will lead you to a ban.
 
  +
*However, harassment of community members on ethnic, religious, or racial grounds, discussions about race superiority, direct calls to violence towards certain group based on their race, ethnicity, religion, position or wealth, will lead you to a ban. Everything from range starting to "people of certain race are not humans" and ending at "murder your local landlord/all cops are pigs" is not welcome here.
NSFW and malicious (viral) content are prohibited. Also prohibited are videos with sound that can damage your hearing (earrape content).

*As a matter of fact, don't openly and aggressively harass anyone here on any grounds.

*It is forbidden to publish personal information without the permission of the user or voluntary public publication of this information. This is especially true of photographs and information about their place of residence. This rule applies not only to members of our community but everyone, we do not want to be the center of someone’s bullying, and we can be punished for this by the user agreement of the platforms we use.

For example, GitHub is extremely sensitive to the use of words such as "retard" and "nigger", and can be banned for it as well as the user and the entire repository.

*It is impossible to determine the NSFW standard, which means to put it in the rules and use it instead of a ruler, we cannot determine the openness of female breasts in art. This means that you need to think for yourself what you are posting, and the fact that the sexual act is completely covered by clothing is still a sexual act, and explicit NSFW. This also applies to other content rules.

Admins apply these rules at their own discretion, and they may ignore the enforcement of specific rules if it is considered necessary.

Community Rules

Community rules apply in Discord, OOS channels, repositories and all sites under our control. IC relations are not governed by these rules, but there is one caveat. Blocking on community platforms can be carried over to the game, and vice versa.

Each rule has refinements and details available when opening the spoiler.

Rules Icon Asshole.png
0. Do not be an asshole

This is a game, and we all came here to enjoy it. Prolonged conflict and toxic behavior are not permitted. Try to be adequate or at least seem so.

Details:

  • If it was proved that the motivation of the person is to only harm the community, or if player even admits that directly, then the player will be expelled from the community forever.
  • If you put yourself in opposition to the whole community, then you better leave the server and look for another place to play. Otherwise, we will show you the door by force.
  • Attempts to harm the community by disrupting the operation of any of its platforms, by doing things like DoS or using harmful exploits will lead to permanent ban.
  • It is forbidden to use exploits and game bugs to your own advantage. There is a difference in rotating your character 15 degrees to the right and installing weapon mods in a certain way that your katana starts dealing infinity damage in melee.
  • Raiders with clear goal to harm the community will be permanently banned without minimum bureaucracy involved. We don't negotiate or even communicate with raiders, and if you are a part of raiding group or a community that have purpose of harming and harassing other servers, you can be banned without right to appeal.
  • It is also forbidden to organize raids in order to harm another community. Even if this happened outside our platforms. We do not need stupid drama and conflicts with other communities.
Rules Icon Content.png
1. Inappropriate Content

Please communicate in a way that doesn't make community members endlessly cringe, and so that we don't get banned from our platforms.

Details:

  • Your speech should not go beyond the scope of socially acceptable humor and memes, and should also be readable. In simpler terms: don't be a cancer.
  • The use of slurs or insults that are targeted towards group are only permitted in the context of in game lore. Any use of OOC slurs that target OOC groups is not permitted. If you can't tell the difference, then don't use these slurs.
  • However, harassment of community members on ethnic, religious, or racial grounds, discussions about race superiority, direct calls to violence towards certain group based on their race, ethnicity, religion, position or wealth, will lead you to a ban. Everything from range starting to "people of certain race are not humans" and ending at "murder your local landlord/all cops are pigs" is not welcome here.
  • Same applied to any political discussions and discussions regarding politically-adjacent recent events. Take those somewhere else.
  • As a matter of fact, don't openly and aggressively harass anyone here on any grounds.
  • NSFW and malicious content are prohibited. Also prohibited are videos with sound that can damage your hearing (earrape content).
  • It is forbidden to publish personal information without the permission of the user or voluntary public publication of this information. This is especially true of photographs and information about their place of residence. This rule applies not only to members of our community but everyone, we do not want to be the center of someone’s bullying, and we can be punished for this by the user agreement of the platforms we use.
  • Don't post content that can create problems with our platforms. For example, violating the Terms of Service Discord, as well as other platforms where we are. Keep in mind, GitHub is extremely sensitive to the use of words such as "retard" and "nigger", and can be banned for it as well as the user and the entire repository. Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot.
  • It is impossible to determine the NSFW standard, which means to put it in the rules and use it instead of a ruler, we cannot determine the openness of female breasts in art. This means that you need to think for yourself what you are posting, for example you should understand that if sexual act is completely covered by clothing is still a sexual act, and explicit NSFW.
Rules Icon Talk.png
2. Offtopic and channel rules

For each topic on our platforms a corresponding section or channel has been created. While offtopic is not punished in most channels (although you should listen when admins tells you to take this topic somewhere else), development channels, Github pull requests and other channels have more severe restrictions.

Details:

  • Applications for ban appeals and complaints to the administration should be submitted only in the appropriate forum. Spam in the administration’s DMs, begging for your unban in the channels, and other attempts to bypass the form will be suppressed. Attempts to create drama from your ban on all possible platforms will not lead to anything productive.
  • Spam is not allowed. Advertising for other communities is allowed until it becomes spam.



Game Rules

These rules apply only in the game itself and enforced only by the administration of the game server.

Rules Icon ERP.png
0. ERP

Erotic roleplaying is prohibited on the server. Violators will be punished severely.

Details:

  • There are special servers for this, do it there, and do not drag it to us please.
  • Hugs and kisses are allowed, as long as nothing sexual is going on. Don't try to test the waters there.
Rules Icon murder.png
1. Murder

Intentional murder\isolation\grievous harm without reason. You must have a good reason to kill another player. This may be: self-defense, a long-running conflict, the execution of an order (the person who ordered it will be responsible for the murder) or the execution of a sentence.

Details:

  • The violation will always be seen in the context of events that came before it. Usually the responsibility lies with the creator of the situation.
  • Complete isolation of the player without the ability to get out is equivalent to killing.
  • Forcefully mindswapping with someone is also equivalent to killing.
  • The infliction of grievous harm, as a result of which the victim spent a long (half an hour or more) time in the medical bay, is punishable by a term of half the murder in a similar situation.
  • If you doubt your right to use lethal force, ask the administration. You cannot be punished for the violence that the administrator allowed.
  • Conflict with an adequate reason, which was played out during 15-20 minutes of the round (minimum), is considered to be a long-term conflict. At the same time, a conflict with the entire station or the entire Ironhammer department cannot be considered an excuse.
  • At the same time, an adequately played long-term conflict is not considered if:
    • Someone just walked into the area.
    • You do not like how someone dresses.
    • Someone does not do their job as you would like.
  • An adequate reason for killing could be:
    • Someone ran into the arsenal and is actively touching lethal weapons.
    • Someone has Excelsior armor, during the uprising of Excelsior.
    • Someone is trying to blow up the whole ship.
  • Some mechanics, such as sanity, can provide you with reason to assault one person even while not being an antag. However, make sure it will not escalate in lethal conflict with whole crew, as you will be punished for that.
  • When you have an antag role - you are allowed to kill people as much as you need, provided they are not your allies. But you don't need to be asshole about it, don't murder whole server on low population, for example. It's totally not fun for others.
  • Disconnected players ("He is fast asleep." on examine, something about S.S.D. when you try to wake them up) are treated differently: as a general rule it's best to leave them alone, but there are exceptions:
    • Conflict - if they log off during arrest, firefight, brawl or hiding in maintenance while evading Security they are free game to arrest and loot. This still applies for other conflicts, but to a lesser degree - if a guild technician pissed you off and refused to serve you in guild you can take his items, but not muzzle-cuff them and wall them in somewhere far in maintenance. The last case is just an example, common sense and sympathy for disconnected players should still apply.
    • Immediate, unavoidable danger - if there's a ton of roaches outside trying to break in and only that SSD person has a gun/ID card to escape you can loot them, but it's crucial you return items to them afterwards and make sure they are safe.
    • Moving disconnected players - as a general rule, it's recommended to leave disconnected characters on their own - put them back into cryo only if you have their permission beforehand as they may still come back.

    • Stuck - you can take SSD person items if there's no other way out (inspector interrogating you suddenly falls asleep), but not murder them or loot them naked.
    • Faction conflict - During mass inter-departmental conflict most protection is void given their nature, but it's still unacceptable to flat out decapitate a sleeping scientist who you never saw the whole shift - take them prisoner at the very least.
    • Antagonists - antagonists are mostly exempt from this rule: they may loot SSD people and kill them if their target is disconnected, but they may not murder a random sleeping vagabond they found in maintenance.
    • On the other hand, ghosted players ("He is fast asleep. It doesn't look like he is waking up anytime soon." on examine) are a free game as they have left the body and won't be coming back.
    • Be respectful and use common sense - wait a minute or two if a chemist you were just talking to suddenly fell asleep before you loot them - not everyone has a stable internet connection.
Rules Icon Immersion.png
2. Violation of the atmosphere and rules of communication

Your speech should correspond to the role played, and not your usual chat behavior. Ideally, it should match the way the characters in films and books speak. Internet slang, emoticons and text abbreviations are prohibited, your characters speak in a voice.

Details:

  • Do not break the immersion, do not act out something that goes against the background and lore.
  • When using flavor text (character descriptions), it is forbidden to write a story, character, etc. Only appearance.
  • Do not use names of celebrities (Adolf Hitler) and too popular characters (Luke Skywalker). You may play some not very popular heroes of books and films, but it is best to ask the administration in advance. Also, your name should not disturb the atmosphere and should not be too meme (Chad Wojak).
    • Characters with Lowborn perk are allowed more leeway with this, but only to a certain limit. Straight-up references, nomenclatures, or memes such as Inter Continental Ballistic Missile, Main Battle tank, etc.
  • Communicate correctly. It is difficult to talk about any role atmosphere in general, when adult characters, the crew of the spacecraft, talk like sixth graders at a break. Try to make as few mistakes as possible, and speak a language that is pleasant to read. It does not matter whether the server language is native to you or not, equal demands are made on everyone.
  • Heads of staff and security personnel are held to higher roleplay standards.

3. IC in OOC and metagaming

Our server is an RP server, and despite the presence of some concessions in comparison with other servers, the minimum requirements for metagaming are still present.

Details:

  • Discussion or mention of the events of the current round in the OOC channel is punishable. Please keep the intrigue for other players. This also applies to conferences, forums and other ways of communicating and disseminating information.
  • The use of information about the events of the round received by OOC methods is punishable.
  • It is forbidden to use off-game means of communication to coordinate actions in the game. This violates the metagaming rule and is severely punished.
  • The capabilities of your character are determined by his characteristics, and you can TRY to do things like performing surgery, unlike other servers. An exception is if you take away someone’s work, as described in rule 4.

4. Perform basic job duties

The engine should be started in an acceptable time frame, people should not die in the medical lobby, while doctors drink tea, and the like. Remember that the life of the entire ship depends on the work of key jobs. Heads and AIs should not exit the game after the start of the round.

Details:

  • It's okay if you have a serious reason why you cannot do your job. This is a game about a catastrophe on a spaceship, in the end, and sooner or later something will go wrong. But at the beginning of the round you need to fulfill your duties.
  • Despite the fact that rule 3 allows you to do everything your character is capable of according to characteristics, if you interfere in the work of a living and active department, and do their work for them, you can be punished. Instead of breaking into the chemistry and making the medicine yourself, pay the chemist who sits there.

5. Using multiple accounts

This greatly complicates the work of the administration and is punished quite seriously. If you want to switch to another account, coordinate this with the server administration.

Details:

  • The server administration has the right to use several accounts for its own purposes.



Administration Rules

These can serve as the basis for complaints, or for internal proceedings.

Rules Icon Hammer.png
0. Follow your own rules

The administration should not only comply with its own rules, but also be an example to follow.

Details:

  • If the administrator, or a permanent member of the development (a person with the role of Staff Developer) violates the rules, the heads of the project, servers and the secretary can get together and give this person a warning. In case of accumulation of 2 or 3 of such warnings, the person will be removed from the server command, and may be additionally banned. In addition to the warning, a ban is not issued, an active member of the server team cannot be banned so that he has the ability to fulfill his responsibilities.

1. Be an adequate adult

This is perhaps the most important. You should never forget that this is just a game, people come here to have fun, and you want to help them in this.

Details:

  • Do not make yourself God and lord over this game, communicate normally with the community. In general, be calm, solve problems with a cool head and ass.
  • Talk to trouble makers. Never give out a ban in silence. If the player has not left the server and you are able to talk with them, then you are obligated to talk with them. Listen to his opinion, think, interrogate other players, issue a verdict. And then the most important thing: make sure that the player understands it. This will save a lot of complaints and questions in the future.
  • We are not call center operators on salaries. It is obvious. Nobody forbids you to swear or tell special children what they deserve. But this is a matter of general community atmosphere. If you cover the players with obscenities, they will see enemies in the administration, actively gather in groups against the administration, weave intrigues. We should not allow this, and it is worth starting with ourselves.
  • Have a sense of humor and don’t burn. In this game absolutely crazy things can happen, players can consistently insult your kin to the seventh generation, and the build can break in all places. The ability to neigh in time will save you and others, and a cold ass will allow you to endure fair bans in any situation.

2. Do not harm your own server

Do not shit inside where you live. This would seem quite obvious, but it is sometimes easy to forget in a fit of anger.

Details:

  • Do not be an intriguer. Do not use admin rights to pit groups of players, administrators, against each other, and do not try to split the administration into separate groups, do not play dirty politics. If there are problems in the community, they need to be voiced and resolved, and not thrown at each other to such an extent that problems will not be resolvable.
  • Do not harm the server and the community in order to prove something. In the end, if you really do not like what is happening, you can just calmly leave. No problem is worth the split or death of the community.
  • If you are personally involved in a violation, it concerns your friends, or your ass just burns - pass the problem to another. Failure to do this can lead to huge problems with the community, and even to the circus and drama.
  • Do not expose the community badly in the eyes of others. Do not conflict with other communities so that this can create problems for the entire server, or even involve a full-blown conflict with someone.

3. We are a server with the minimum possible admin intervention

This is one of the basics of the server. We understand that the rules are necessary to maintain an adequate community life, however we do not directly intervene in the events of the round.

Details:

  • If it is reasonable, players should be banned for their violations at the end of the round, having the opportunity to play their role in the round. Interrupting a chain of murders of an outright attacker by a ban, however, is possible and necessary.
  • We do not revive the players even if they were killed by a banned griefer. However, we can provide a reduction in respawn time for the victim. To do it or not is strictly on the conscience of the administrator.
  • Reducing respawn time is the most organic way to return a player to the game, and if the situation is right, this can be done in large quantities. But then again, all this is at the discretion of the administration.
  • Helping players who fall victim to bugs is one of the duties of the administration. The build is not stable even in its best times, in case something broke the rule of non-intervention should be forgotten.
  • Events, or other ways to diversify the rounds should be coordinated with the heads of the servers.

4. N.A.P.

Details:

  • Admins have a prerogative to deal with in-game problems, and developers should not interfere with bans, notes and appeals, or try to vouch someone out of trouble.
  • Development process is regulated by Maintainers in terms of quality, and by Project Leader/Head Dev in terms of balance, direction and lore. Admins don't have any privilege in this process.
  • It is, however, guaranteed that admins will communicate with Head Dev before applying any sanctions to developers or contributors. It's not for covering up their violations, but to allow Dev team to adapt, civilly resolve a problem, and ensure that damage to development itself is minimal.
  • As for player feedback and admin tools, it's also expected for admins to be the main source of information, and while current dev priorities are established by Head Dev, development team will listen to admins concern.

Other tips

Not the rules as such, these are recommendations for directing the administration in the right direction.

Details:

  • Not everything can be brought to the public. If the administrator took off the whore, got drunk and let her administer the server, it’s definitely not worth disclosing such details of her personal life.
  • Still, playerbase should be informed on the reasoning of our decisions or actions, both in administration and development.
  • Ask for help if necessary. If you are in doubt about the solution, ask other administrators. If there is no one to call for help, give a kick to your head for the lack of administration.
