Rules

Welcome to Protobit!

We may refrain offering our services to you if you have one or more infractions of breaking these rules, please help us keep our community enjoyable for everyone.

These are rules applicable to our entire network of game servers and services, for game-specific rules please refer to:

Rust Rules

Keep chat and other forms of communication clean.

Keep racism and homophobia to an absolute minimum.
Slight toxicity and trash talk is allowed, as long as it doesn't spiral into hate speech.
Do not spam chat.
NSFW behavior and content is not allowed in public channels
Sharing external content (links) is not permitted unless part of the topic of conversation.
Advertising is not allowed (outside of game context, like player shops)
Remain civil, do not threaten players (outside of game context) or dox anyone.

These rules will not be automatically enforced in private text channels, unless we receive a report or complaint from someone.
- This does not apply to communication channels that aren't global but can be seen or heard by nearby users. (Such as proximity or local chat functionality within games)

Do not intentionally overload, disrupt, or abuse bugs in our services.

Punishments will be inflicted on players that perform actions of this kind.
You are recommended to report issues with our services privately to an Operator.

You are required to be 13 years or older.

You are required to be at least 13 years of age to use our services or connect to Protobit.
- Do not joke about being underage. Punishments will be issued if we are alerted to someone possibly being under-aged.
You may get your data wiped and account banned until you can prove that you are of legal age.

Do not act like a staff member.

You may guide players or remind them of server rules, but leave it to a staff member if tensions escalate.
Impersonating a staff member for any reason will result in an immediate ban.

Punishment evading is not allowed.

If you are found to be evading a punishment inflicted by a staff member, your punishment will be increased.
Any additional accounts that are used to evade punishments will be permanently suspended from all Protobit services.

These rules are a suggestion on what not to do. Punishments are allowed to be modified by staff members if the situation requires it. We also retain the authority to change these rules at any time with notice to keep up with rule lawyering or new inappropriate behaviour.

If you need notice a player breaking these rules, please visit Contact a Staff Member or mention an Operator if they're present in your chat channel.
