Rules

Rules & Punishments

These rules exist to offer clarity on how players are typically expected to conduct themselves on Runsafe. If a rule is broken, punishments often include being muted, kicked, banned, or the Troll rank. In less severe cases, the rule break may only be met with a warning, or merely let go. Rules are imperfect, so staff discretion is always in effect to account for unique situations. We are not looking for ways to punish good players, nor define loopholes for troublemakers.

Each rule is stated below in Bold with further clarification text in Italics. The rules can be read much quicker by skipping the clarifications.

Primary rules for Minecraft server

• 1. Conduct yourself respectably.

We're all for having fun, but try to be a good person to be around. Staff often make helpful suggestions for anyone who appears to be struggling.

• 2. Listen to staff when you are instructed to do/not do something.

Staff make requests to uphold our server environment & gameplay standards. Please don't ignore them, and please don't be argumentative/difficult.

• 3. No hacking. Ask for admin permission to use modded features.

We don't like things that disrupt the intended gameplay challenges. Seek admin permission before using anything beyond Optifine and/or shaders.

• 4. No discriminatory behaviors or ideologies.

This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, nazism, etc.. If it disavows the human rights of group of people, it doesn't belong on Runsafe.

• 5. Don't ask for a higher rank/console access.

For more information on how player ranks are obtained, see Player Ranks.

• 6. Don't impersonate staff or other users.

Don't try to fool anyone about who you are, or what your rank is.

• 7. Please default to English on the server.

Our staff cannot moderate a language they don't speak, so we generally prefer English to avoid this issue.

• 8. Do not exploit bugs or circumvent gameplay restrictions.

Don't grief areas, clip through world barriers, etc.. Ideally, report bugs to staff.

• 9. Do not cause problematic lag/load on the server.

If this starts happening unintentionally, seek to undo what you did.

• 10. If you suspect a hacker, do not call them out. Report them.

Report them to a staff member privately using "/whisper <player> <message>" or Discord.'

• 11. Do not evade staff punishments using an alternate account.

If you were muted/trolled/banned etc., this was a punishment for you, not your account.

• 12. Do not advertise other servers without permission.

Additional Rules for Survival

• 1S. Hacks/Mods/Clients offering a considerable advantage in Survival are strictly prohibited.

As mentioned in Rule 1, don't use a modded feature without admin permission. Survival gameplay is especially strict.

• 2S. Logging out or warping away from PvP is currently discouraged.

Excessive offenses are likely to be punished. Play the game.

• 3S. Please strive to keep chicken farms down to 10 chickens or less.

There are many ways to achieve this. Find one.

Additional Rules for Creative

• 1C. You may request plot approval when a build seems presentable.

Staff will assess if a build is of fair enough quality to begin another one.

• 2C. When using liquids (water/lava), ensure they do not run off into the roads.

Come on, man. Don't make a mess.

• 3C. No griefing in the Creative world.

Anything that harms another player's build against their wishes is forbidden.

• 4C. Do not use saved hotbars (or any other method) to access otherwise inaccessible blocks.

If they aren't in the regular inventory or placeable, they are not meant to be used.

Additional Rules for Spleef

• 1F. Do not brick a spleef game by camping, keep moving.

If the game isn't moving because you won't, start hopping.

Additional Rules for Special Events

• 1E. Do not hinder other players' intended gameplay experience during events.

Adaptive staff calls are often needed for one-off events. Please, just listen, and you will be OK.

• 1D. We prefer you give some indication of your Minecraft username.

Especially for those active in both Minecraft and Discord, it's nice to know who is who.

• 2D. Conduct yourself respectably.

We're all for having fun, but try to be a good person to be around. Staff often make helpful suggestions for anyone who appears to be struggling.
