	* '''Being a Toxic Player In General''': It doesn't matter if everything you do in and out of character doesn't break any rules, if the staff as a general whole agree on removing you, they can and will. This applies across the community as a whole, examples(OOC, discord, deathchat, forums, etc). What to avoid - continuously harass/instigate/annoy or provoke enough people that the staff get tired of hearing complaints about it.		* '''Being a Toxic Player In General''': It doesn't matter if everything you do in and out of character doesn't break any rules, if the staff as a general whole agree on removing you, they can and will.

	* '''Suicide is generally not okay''', ICly and OOCly. Killing yourself because you're bored and want to observe/switch characters is not allowed. If you have a good reason, adminhelp it beforehand. Otherwise move your character’s body to the dormitories/cyrosleep. (One Exception is for AI, you can wipe yourself / shutdown to spawn as someone else if you're an AI - You can do so using the Store-Core command)		* '''Suicide is generally not okay''', ICly and OOCly.

			* '''Playing a Head''': Know your job before taking a Head Role, and have a general understanding of what you are expected to do. Head Roles are not for learning the game. Expect to get job-banned by Staff if you are deemed incompetent at your Head Role.
	* '''No stupid names''': Things like 'Baldie McBald' and other dumb meme names are not allowed. You will be asked to rename yourself if the name is considered inappropriate.		* '''No stupid names''': Things like 'Baldie McBald' and other dumb meme names are not allowed.

	* '''Subtles''': Use subtle only in cases where it would make sense. That is, in cases where other crewmembers would not be able to see what you are doing to the other person in subtle range. Do not use subtle to whisper.		* '''Do not enter/hack into/take''' from the following areas without a reasonable in character reason: Captain's Quarters, Armory, Bridge Holdout Armoury, Bridge and the Vault. If you are unable to give a valid reasons to the admins you probably should not go ahead and do it. You should expect to get bwoinked after you do this so be prepared to defend your position. Better would be to A-help beforehand to get clearance from the Staff team. Every A-help is sent to the Discord staff being online or not.

If it's already on the github, avoid using the exploit.		* '''Do not use/exploit bugs''': If you find a bug, report it on the github or to the administrators.

	* '''Cryo before Ghosting''': If you are going to Ghost and stay in the server/play another character, we request you cryo your current character first. If you are using a job slot and are going to leave the server, we request you cryo or go off-duty before you disconnect from the server. This is to allow someone to possibly use that slot in your absence.		* '''Cryo before Ghosting''': If you are going to Ghost and stay in the server/play another character, we request you cryo your current character first.

This is prohibited more so to avoid ruining the fun for other players. If you and another are consenting, adminhelp it beforehand to notify the Staff so we know you both consent to possibly being out of the round. If you kill someone expect to be held accountable by the present crew like Security. Just because you both agreed to fight with death involved OOCly doesn’t mean Security will let you walk away from Murder ICly.
	* '''No end of round grief''': Just don't, people like a proper closure. This includes staff.		* '''No end of round grief''': Just don't, people like a proper closure. This includes staff.

	* '''Character Skills''': Try to limit how many things your character is ICly able to do, example. Your engineer should probably not be proficient in surgery. There is a skill system you can use on character setup, as a guideline, your maximum skill should not go more than 'Above Average' in term of skill level. If it is you are to lower it down, this is to prevent Mary-Sue characters and whatnot. And to restrict a character that can do everything. Increasing your character's age allows them to have more points in to compensate for experience.		* '''Character Skills''': Try to limit how many things your character is ICly able to do, example.

	* '''The Gateway and Shuttle:''' Don't go into the gateway or take off in the Shuttle for any reason at round start. Do not take off in the shuttle alone. Do not take the shuttle for a joyride alone to anywhere. The Shuttle is for Planned Expeditions (Which are authorized by the CD, RD, or Pathfinder.), or other things (like a joyride/space spin with 3 people) if you request it from Central (in the absence of the CD, RD, or Pathfinder) via a Fax and the Server Staff present at the time okay it. The minimum requirement of crew is 3 people for an expedition or any other uses. That includes you, and two others. The Pathfinder and RD count towards this total. If the RD/CD/Pathfinder is not present to okay your expedition/other use, you will fax it to Central for Clearance.		* '''The Gateway and Shuttle:''' Don't go into the gateway or take off in the Shuttle for any reason at round start.

			* '''Security Interceptor:''' Just like the Shuttle, minimum of 2 people in it before taking off.
	* '''ERP''': While it is allowed, you '''cannot''' mention or do any of it near any oocly non-consenting people. If you are caught ERPing ICly, you can be arrested for public indecency in the corporate regulations. So don't whine to us if you're caught ERPing outside of bolted dorms. When ERPing On-Duty, you must keep your headset on and still do your job in the event of emergencies (Ex: Breaches, invasions, someone is about to die and you're the only medic, On-Duty etc). If you are Off-Duty, you do not have to go do your job even if requested. You are Off-Duty. They cannot make you go On-Duty.		* '''ERP''': While it is allowed, you '''cannot''' mention or do any of it near any oocly non-consenting people.

Do not use subtle to whisper. Subtles can however be used in Dorms and Residential at will whether the action itself is subtle or not. But only in those areas.
	* '''Vore''': Since we use the v.o.r.e codebase, the game allows you to omnom things and other players. '''Do not''' ever use it on a non-consenting player, even if your objective is to kill them. And do not use it on SSD/dead players either unless their OOC information allows vore while afk. If you are fine with it happening randomly, it must be written on in your OOC information.		* '''Vore''': Since we use the v.o.r.e codebase, the game allows you to omnom things and other players.

	* '''Baldies''': If a crewmember is a human and bald after arriving on station. And said person is actively seen breaking one of the above rules / griefing. Administrators are allowed to do whatever they please to them. If you are a bald human that just joined and whine about admin abuse. We will point out you haven't read the rules and we will just laugh and keep going.		* '''Baldies''': If a crewmember is a human and bald after arriving on station.
