General Rules:

**#1 No Hacking or Cheating** The use of hacks, cheats, or any third-party software that provides an unfair advantage over other players is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: *Aimbots, Wallhacks, Speed Hacks, Resource Hacks, Macroing or Scripting*

**#2 No Doxing in Discord or Game Chat** We have few rules when it comes to chat, but doxing of any kind will result in a permanent ban.

**#3 No Game Banned Accounts** We do not allow accounts with game bans *within the last 180 days* to play on Rusty Bucket servers. Doing so will result in a temporary ban.

**#4 Free Speech Allowed** In our community, we uphold the principle of free speech. Players are encouraged to express their thoughts and opinions without restrictions. Feel free to voice whatever you like—diverse perspectives are welcomed here. Just remember, everyone is entitled to their views, and that’s what makes our community interesting.

Admin Participation:

Our admins are here to contribute to the gaming experience while also overseeing the community. Here’s what you need to know:

***Monitoring Gameplay:*** Admins will be observing player interactions and behavior to ensure that everyone adheres to community standards and fosters a respectful atmosphere.

***Player Engagement:*** Administrators may engage with players to provide assistance, answer questions, and enhance the overall experience. They’re here to support you while navigating the game.

***Conflict Resolution:*** Should any disputes arise, admins will address issues as necessary to maintain order and a friendly environment, taking care not to partake in disputes as competitors.

***Admin Combat Participation:*** While primarily focused on monitoring, admins may participate in combat when they believe their involvement will enhance the experience for other players. This will be done fairly, without using their admin status to gain an advantage.

***Transparency:*** To avoid any confusion, admins will clearly identify themselves while playing, ensuring everyone is aware of their role in the game.

By adhering to these guidelines, we can work together to maintain a welcoming community that values fairness and enjoyment. Thank you for being a part of our community, and happy gaming!
