Server rules generator
Ten rules at most, one sentence each, and a punishment table published alongside: rules players actually read, and that staff can enforce without argument. Adapt them to your game mode, then copy them for Discord, the /rules command or a sign at spawn.
9 rules: ten at most, or nobody reads them. Advice in the guide Writing your server rules.
Paste into a read-only channel, then pin it.
# Server rules **1. Respect**: No insults, harassment, hateful or sexual content, in game and on Discord. Usernames and skins included. **2. Cheating**: No modified client that gives an advantage (fly, reach, x-ray), no macros, no bug abuse. A bug you find gets reported, not used. **3. Griefing and theft**: Don't destroy or take anything that isn't yours, even if it isn't protected. **4. Combat**: Player combat is only allowed in the designated areas (arena, marked PvP zones). **5. Builds**: No offensive builds, and no farms that lag the whole server: staff may limit them. **6. Trading**: Trading between players is free, scamming isn't. No selling in-game items for real money. **7. Advertising**: No links to or names of other servers. **8. Accounts**: One account per person. You are responsible for what is done with yours. **9. Common sense**: What isn't written but clearly harms others can be punished. Staff always explain why, and a punishment is appealed in private, never in public chat. ## Punishments - **Insults, provoking**: warning → 1 h mute → 24 h mute - **Advertising**: warning → 24 h mute → 7-day ban - **Griefing, theft, scams**: refund + 3-day ban → 30 days → permanent - **Cheating, bug abuse**: 30-day ban → permanent - **Harassment, hateful content**: 7-day ban → permanent A temporary ban ends; a permanent ban can be appealed after 3 months. *By playing, you accept these rules.*
Before publishing them
- Read them through with your staff: everyone must be able to apply them the same way.
- Announce them before punishing: a rule added yesterday doesn't apply to what happened the day before.
- Follow them yourselves: an admin insulting people in chat cancels out the whole rulebook.
