# Community Guidelines

{% hint style="warning" %}
*These rules are here to ensure a positive, fair, and engaging experience for all \[RS] Rogue Soldiers members. While we strive to maintain a mature, fun, and supportive gaming environment, we understand that the online world can attract individuals who cause disruption—trolls, griefers, hackers, and toxic players. Our Admins and Moderators do their best to address issues as quickly as possible but keep in mind that they are volunteers. They cannot respond to every report in real time.*

### 1.1 | Respect <a href="#do-not-harass-others" id="do-not-harass-others"></a>

These rules apply to all our game servers, and they have been developed to balance the open-world elements of our games with the need to maintain performance and fairness. Our goal is to give every player a great experience while minimizing disruptive behaviour and server-impacting actions. While our rules are straightforward, ignorance is not a defence for breaking them. If you do violate the rules, it’s better to own up and resolve the situation rather than wait to be caught. Punishments are at the discretion of the Admins and may include:

* Permanent Ban
* Temporary Ban
* Removal of Structures or Items
* Player Stats Reset
* Other Disciplinary Actions

### 1.2 | **Respect the Community** <a href="#do-not-engage-in-hate-speech" id="do-not-engage-in-hate-speech"></a>

Do not engage in any form of toxic behaviour, including harassment, griefing, trolling, or exploiting glitches.

### 1.3 | **No Cheating or Exploits**

Duping, hacking, or using third-party tools to gain an unfair advantage (e.g., flying or invisibility) is strictly forbidden. If you discover someone exploiting you, report it immediately. If you benefit from an exploit and do not report it, you may be treated as complicit.

### 1.4 | Impersonation <a href="#do-not-engage-in-malicious-or-illegal-activities" id="do-not-engage-in-malicious-or-illegal-activities"></a>

Pretending to be an Admin, Moderator, or staff member is not tolerated under any circumstances.

### 1.5 | **Building & Basic Rules**

* Do not build inside or alter Points of Interest (POIs). Destroying loot in POIs to prevent others from accessing it is prohibited.
* No floating or unsupported bases.
* Limit tree planting to no more than five per player.
* No bases larger than 5x5x5 (125 blocks) for drop mining.
* Keep at least 200 blocks of distance from any trader.
* Farm plots must not exceed 5x5, but you can have multiple plots with a 1-block gap between them.
* POIs cannot be claimed as personal bases.

### 1.6 | **Road & Path Obstructions**

Building bases or structures that obstruct roads or pathways is not allowed. Ensure that your base does not interfere with natural travel routes.

### 1.7 | **Resource Management**

Be mindful of the resources you gather and how you use them. Excessive hoarding or resource-destroying behaviour can ruin the experience for others.
