Note: Our Global Rules and Terms of Use apply to all our platforms including our game servers and are incorporated into these Server Rules by this reference. However, some of the General Rules listed here overlap slightly with them and should give you a basic understanding of what they outline.

​

COMMUNITY RULES​

As with any community, rules and guidelines are important to keep everything running smoothly. We want to create a respectful, welcoming, and friendly community at Monolith. Therefore, we regulate our platforms; please keep our Rules and Terms of Use in mind when interacting on our platforms to ensure that our community is pleasant for members and guests alike. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our platforms at all times with full discretion. Such an action is likely the consequence of us having deemed that you have breached our Rules or Terms of Use.

Our game servers are regulated by our server rules which are incorporated into these Rules by this reference. The server rules are not exhaustive and will be modified over time as necessary. You are responsible for staying up to date with additions and amendments.

[1] Global Rules​

1. Please do not post anything inappropriate in a friendly community setting. This includes but is not limited to excessive profanity and sexual/illicit content. Hateful, threatening, provocative, or vulgar content is not accepted in this community, nor is any content that infringes on copyright or violates any other applicable law(s).
2. Discrimination (i.e. racism, intolerance) towards other members is never allowed, including any unfair or prejudicial treatment based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or nationality.
3. Be courteous and respect your fellow members. Personal attacks, aggressive messages, and passive-aggressive behavior are unacceptable. If you take a particular issue with another user and are unable to reply in a civilized and constructive way to their posts, you should ignore the user.
4. Posts should always be constructive and on-topic. For common issues, simply telling someone to search is not acceptable. If you disagree with a post and feel the need to reply as such, it’s important that you explain why. Off-topic posts may be moved or deleted as required.
5. If you feel another user is attacking or being aggressive towards you, report their message to staff. Do not respond publicly. This simply continues the back and forth that derails topics and makes them uncomfortable for other users. If someone attacks you and you respond with an attack, you will be facing disciplinary action regardless of who started it.
6. All content must be posted in English as it is not possible for us to moderate the forums otherwise. In very specific cases (such as distributing a translation), foreign languages may be used, provided that an English translation is included as well.
7. Do not bump threads unless you have something new to contribute to the discussion. Bumping refers to posting in a thread solely to move it to the top of the forum or increase its visibility without adding meaningful content. Additionally, avoid replying to discussions that have been inactive for several months or longer unless you have relevant or valuable input.
8. Please do not attempt to advertise, sell or trade any products or services in our community. This includes advertisements of other communities.
9. Personal information and private discussions may not be posted unless it’s clear that all parties involved have given their consent.
10. If a moderator or staff member issues a directive (e.g., asking to stop a particular topic), you must follow it. If you realize after posting that your message goes against their directive, delete it immediately, as failing to do so may be considered ignoring moderation.
11. If you have a problem with or question about a staff member's decision, contact them privately or submit a message to a Senior Administrator+ through the contact system. Posts or topics discussing staff actions will be removed.
12. Each user is allowed only one account. Any duplicate accounts will be banned, and creating a new account to evade penalties may result in stricter enforcement, including permanent bans.
13. Do not post content intended to incite drama, conflicts, or 'flame wars' with other users or communities. If you have a complaint, privately contact staff through the designated channels.
14. Avoid engaging in political debates, as they often lead to conflict and derail discussions. Our discord focus on gaming-related discussions, and political topics should be kept to personal conversations.
15. You may only post on application, appeal or complaint threads if you are the thread author, have been tagged in the thread, are a staff member or have any meaningful evidence to add to the situation.
16. Avoid spoiling major plot points of newly released films, TV shows, or video games for at least 14 days after release. If discussing spoilers, use clearly marked spoiler tags.
17. You are fully responsible for any actions taken on your account. Violations committed under your account will result in penalties, regardless of who was using it. Keep your login credentials secure to prevent unauthorized access.
18. Do not impersonate a staff member in any form.

To reiterate, we prohibit any content that:

1. Is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening or insulting.
2. Is excessive or posted with the intent of harassing someone.
3. Is spam or spam-like content.
4. Is likely to offend with no intention of having a constructive discussion.
5. Contains explicit, gore, adult, or pornographic material.
6. Contains personal information of other people (otherwise known as doxxing).
7. Infringes on others’ intellectual property rights including copyright.
8. Violates or encourages violations of the law.

Common sense applies at all times, rule enforcement is not limited to the above.

If a Moderator or Administrator feels your content or conduct is unacceptable, their decision is final pending potential appropriate appeal and must be respected.

Monolith will not accept any form of abuse towards any member of our community including the staff team.

II. SERVER RULES​

Our game servers are regulated by these sets of rules which are incorporated into these Rules by this reference. The server rules are not exhaustive and will be modified over time as necessary. You are responsible for staying up to date with additions and amendments.

[0] Terminology​

• RP - Roleplay - To act and speak as if you are the character you are portraying. It means to keep your speech in the context of the setting in which your character exists. Context can be defined as both time and place.
• IC - In-Character - This refers to anything that relates to what and how your character feels and acts. This does not represent what you believe personally.
• OOC - Out-Of-Character - This refers to representing yourself and your personal opinions and feelings. This may not interfere with IC roleplay.
• NLR - (New-Life-Rule) - Your character forgets all events leading up to their death. You may not return to the area where you died until the 10 Minute NLR timer expires, nor act on any information from your past life.
• Metagaming - Taking OOC to IC or vice-versa. Example: Bob would be walking down the street when he see a citizen who is an undercover cop. However, he uses the scoreboard to know he’s an undercover cop and avoids him based on using information not known to the character.
• Meta-Baiting - Using OOC to lure someone IC or vice versa. Example: Bob would say in the OOC chat “Free money at the alleyway!” which two people would walk into and Bob mugging them.
• Powergaming - Forcing your actions upon someone else without any chance for them to resist it at all, causing you to have an unfair advantage. This can range from a deputy holding you down without counter to a criminal dragging you somewhere. Example: Brad grabs Bob and presses him on the ground; he can't move or do anything as he’d ignore the attempts of Bob resisting.
• RDM - Random Deathmatch - The process of killing people without valid In-Character reasons.
• RDA - Random Arrest - The process of arresting people without valid In-Character reasons.
• VDM - Vehicle Deathmatch - The process of killing people without valid In-Character reasons - just with a vehicle.
• Fail Driving - The process of having no regard to any roleplay when in a vehicle, be it slamming into most if not all objects purposely. Failure to comply with this will result in punishments of FailRP. This is different from in-character reckless driving which is not prohibited by our rules.
• FailRP - Actions performed by your character that are not realistic and do not correlate with the setting of the server and your roleplay role.
• FTVL - Failure To Value Life - The act of not valuing the life of your character, such as running into active shootouts.
• ERP - Erotic Roleplay - Any role-playing activity performed mostly, or exclusively, for the purpose of sexual behavior.
• Voiding - Ignoring a specific event and the effects it has made on the roleplay - Mainly executed/called by staff members.
• Stalling - The act of not following orders (for example: whilst under gunpoint) awaiting a friend or someone else to take action.
• Kidnapping - to seize and detain or carry away by unlawful force or fraud, and often with a ransom demand.
• Raid - The act of breaking into or illegally entering a property with the intent to rob, kill, or commit any kind of criminal action to its residents, or any items inside the property.
• Mugging/Robbery - The act of stealing someone's personal belongings without forcibly entering their property.
• Cop Baiting - The act of excessively provoking Law Enforcement for the sole purpose of having them chase you or incite some other reaction from them for your own mere enjoyment.
• Heist - A heist is an illegal activity involving one of the following places: Bank(s), Cargo Ship, and Jewelry Store.
• Police Raid - The act of police engaging with any known or unknown occupants of a building, violent or otherwise, with the intention of apprehending or searching for them.

[1] General Rules​

1. Your expected behavior is not limited to the rules below. Use common sense: When in doubt if something you are doing might be against the rules, it could very well be. If you have any doubts, contact a staff member.
2. This community has respect as a core value; therefore, we ask that you treat everybody with respect and give them a chance to experience the community.
3. Do not take matters into your own hands. The staff is here for a reason. Their decisions are final. Do not disrespect or test their patience. Take it to the appropriate discord channel if required.
4. Slander will not be tolerated within this community; the only place where accusations can be made against other members of the community is within the discord report section and when speaking to an appropriate member of staff. When accusing a member of staff, a higher-ranking staff member should be spoken to - that is, if you don't want to submit a staff report in the appropriate discord channel.
5. We do not tolerate any malicious or illegal activity on our services. This includes, but is not limited to threatening to Dox or DDoS anyone within the community, to hack a player's account, scam someone of something that has real monetary value, spreading malware, sharing IP addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, names, pictures or email addresses.
6. We do not tolerate derogatory slurs or discriminatory language against any group, including but not limited to racism, homophobia, and other forms of intolerance. This applies especially in Out-Of-Character (OOC) interactions. While some level of in-character (IC) offensiveness may be permissible for roleplay purposes, you must immediately stop if another player expresses discomfort. Be observant, considerate, and respectful. Racial slurs, such as the N-word, and other offensive ethnic or discriminatory terms are strictly prohibited—both in-character and out-of-character.
7. Any form of hacking, abusing, or exploiting to gain an advantage over other players is not allowed. Report accidental exploitation to the respective staff members immediately and refrain from using and sharing those.
   1. Community Management reserves the right to instate cheating infractions based on suspicious activity.
8. Sexual discussions, explicit roleplay, or any form of erotic roleplay (ERP) is strictly prohibited. Engaging in or promoting non-consensual roleplay will result in severe penalties, including permanent bans.
9. You may not spam in any way or form. This includes but is not limited to, in-game chat, voice chat, and in-game commands.
10. Advertising products or servers not directly affiliated with Monolith Servers is not permitted in any form.
11. Commercial use of virtual assets in-game is reserved for Monolith Servers alone. You may not trade in-game money for actual real money or vice versa. The one allowed exception is trading a purchase of Premium Membership for in-game value. Scamming for Premium Membership is strictly forbidden - and you will be permanently removed from our platforms because of it. We do not assume any responsibility for such a trade, and items and funds in said transaction may not be returned to their owner.
12. The use of anti-AFK scripts or any external game modification software is strictly prohibited. Automating gameplay actions, such as farming or mining, using AI or third-party tools is not allowed. The only exceptions are the +attack, +left, and +right commands, provided that you remain active and can respond immediately to in-game interactions. Failure to respond to a staff member’s attempt to get your attention may result in a rule violation.
13. You may not grief, troll, harass, or engage in disruptive behavior under the pretense of "roleplay" with the intent to annoy, target, or disrupt other players' experiences. For example, intentionally misusing a role, such as becoming a tow truck driver solely to impound vehicles of players you dislike, is not allowed. All roleplay actions should be fair, reasonable, and contribute to the game environment.
14. Do not bother staff members regarding ban appeals, refund requests, etc. Doing so may result in the ban appeal, refund request, etc. being denied.
15. You must report a rule breach when it happens/when a role-play situation is over with. While you await a staff member, do not stall the situation, as a staff member will intervene as they see fit.
16. Do not engage in backseat moderation. If you witness a rule violation, report it to staff instead of repeatedly calling it out in chat. Excessive public complaints disrupt gameplay and may result in penalties.

Majority of the rules rewritten and updated. They will be enforced from now on.

 

[Martinerrr]

Rewritten rule 4.06:


Do not jump into strangers' freshly spawned cars as that would be considered FailRP, give them enough time to take their own vehicle.


Added rule 4.20:


The zipties can not be used to confiscate items from a player without their consent, this includes but is not limited to, communication devices and weaponry. The identity hiding mask however can be taken off from a player.

 

[Stuvi]

Rewritten 2.13:


[SIZE=11pt]13.  [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Any kind of prop abuse e.g. prop surfing, killing, blocking or climbing is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, using props or something similar to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. The usage of one-sided see-through props counts as prop abuse.[/SIZE]


Added 2.15:


[SIZE=11pt]15.  [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]You may only build props on your own property - unless granted by a staff member. You may also not use props to get from your property to another property/otherwise unreachable area.[/SIZE]

You do no longer require a reason to raid somebody. However, the punishment for raiding someone hasn't been changed.
