These rules apply to In-Game, Discord or any other media provided by SADOJRP for communication.
 

1. You must respect one another at all times, in and out of RP. Any words and/or language used by you and/or regarding (but not limited to) race, gender, religion, creed, sexual identity, disabilities, speech impediment and/or words/names that are insulting degrading to ANYONE (including but not limited to any protected class) will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate permanent non appealable ban. This includes all such language, no matter the context (i.e. doesn't matter if it's in or out of RP, joking, in Game, In Discord etc.) it is simply never appropriate and never tolerated. Included in "respect" for others is following all rules, and not harassing other players. In Game harassment: Harassment is (but not limited to) singling out one or more players and continuously going after them in game, especially with no RP, continuous RDM/VDM. This is especially bad if a group is going after other players on a continuous basis, such as a group or multiple members of the same gang.  As such, harassment will not be tolerated and is taken very seriously. --We have RP Rules for engagement for robberies, kidnapping etc. which have limits, if the limits are violated it is considered harassment. 

2. No Personal Information Never give any kind of personal information to anyone. Revealing any form of personal information about someone online without their permission (Doxxing) is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate permanent ban (from all SADOJRP systems). All community members are expected to respect the privacy of other members at all times.  Any IRL actions or threats towards anyone in the community is not tolerated and will result in an immediate ban and the incident(s) will be reported to the proper authorities.

3. No NSFW Content: This server does not allow "NSFW", there are no channels here to post NSFW content and NSFW content is strictly prohibited and will result in a non-appealable ban. This includes using language in RP or out of RP relating to any sexual matter or content. It is not allowed.

4. Account Responsibility:  If someone else is playing on your account, you are responsible for anything and everything they do. If they break a rule, you've broken a rule. This also means it is not allowed for multiple users to share the same account or license identifier.  Each player must have a separate and distinct account. Sharing accounts on FiveM, Discord, Tebex or any other platform we use is not allowed.

5. AFK Rule: You should not go AFK (Away from Keyboard) for a long period in game, if you do, you may be kicked. If you MUST go AFK, try to go somewhere out if sight and away from people.  Even though there is a rule against Robbing someone who is AFK, if you lose your items, it is on you, as you need to be responsible to protect your character at all times.

6. Exploiting/Cheating: Using mechanics/bugs of the game to help you in character is strictly prohibited and you can be banned permanently for doing so and not reporting the bug and/or utilizing the bug. When you find a bug, you immediately report it, and do not talk about it with others, friends, etc. (Ex. Utilizing a money glitch, Infinite Loops, client dumping, emote glitches etc.) If you report the exploit/glitch immediately you will not be punished, unless we determine you have been using it to your advantage before you reported it. If anyone is caught using an exploit/glitch that otherwise should be reported, they will be subject to punishment up to and including perm ban. We want everyone to have a fair chance to play game and have fun and exploiting ruins things for everyone.

7. Character Farming: Character Farming is 110% the perfect one-way ticket OUT of SADOJRP. We do not take kindly to cheaters, and/or character farmers. Character Farming is transferring items, money, cars, houses, etc. to another one of your characters. Multi Character Systems are a luxury, not a mandatory thing. If you are caught AT ALL transferring ANYTHING from ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS, to ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS, you will be considered Character Farming, and will be in violation of our TOS. Violating this term can result in a permanent ban from SADOJRP. This means any and all forms. Giving items to another character to give to another character or vice versa is still character farming. We have systems in place to track these actions. We truly want you to be playing here, but we will not allow these types of actions. Please above all, play fair, and progress correctly!

8. Scamming of 1of1 cars or other paid items: Any item that is purchased through Tebex cannot used in an in-game RP Scam; this includes (but is not limited to 1of1 cars).  "Scamming" is any kind of unfair or incorrect trading or misrepresentation of an item that it isn't in order to obtain a similar (1of1 item) in return.  This means if you tell a player your item is a 1of1 and it is not, it is a violation of the rules. Any type of scamming involving such items is strictly prohibited and will result in permanent ban.

9. Trading of 1of1 Vehicles (or other 1of1 items): 1of1 and/or paid items may only be exchanged between players if both parties have the same type of item (example: both have 1of1 cars and want to trade). It is against the rules to sell 1of1 car to another player for in game money. To trade, both parties must knowingly and willingly agree to trade with each other and deliver the item to the other player for the trade to be complete. If one person gets the other's item and does not give up their item, this is a violation of the rules and is prohibited.

10. RP Scamming (in game items): It is permitted to perform in-game "RP" Scams using in-game items or money up to a limit of 100K, any "Scam" involving total value of more than 100K (money or items) is prohibited and could result in a ban.  At NO TIME is scamming involving paid 1of1 items allowed (Rule 7 above).

11. Third Party Software: The use of any third-party software such as AimBots, Mod Menus, injectors dumpers or any external software is prohibited and when detected, you will be permanently banned with no appeal.

12. No Complaining/Arguing in Public Channels All members are expected to take all disputes to either the ticket system or private messages. Arguing in Discord voice and text channels, in game or in RTO is not allowed. Complaining in discord general channel, or any channel, not constructively using the suggestion system, not using the in game reporting system and/or  not contacting staff about an issue, is not allowed. This includes complaining about pings. Unless pings are spamming in nature, don’t complain about them. Please provide us with constructive feedback so we can take action to fix or remedy any issues and improve the server for the entire community. 

13. No Arguing with Staff If a Staff Member gives you an instruction or asks you to leave a scene do not argue with Staff.  If you have a problem, you can raise the issue through the proper channels such as IA ticket in Discord. Arguing in game or in Discord is not going to help anyone.

16. You must have access to Discord. We are Discord Whitelisted, which means you must join our Discord before you can play on the server. We use Discord as the primary community communications forum.

17. Follow Chain of Command: If a problem needs to be resolved, always use the chain of command when contacting staff. Speak to a T-Mod, then Moderator first before speaking to Admins.

18. Do not backseat admin whether in game or in discord. We appreciate all that care about the community and want to help out but please leave this to our administrators who are tasked to take care of situations.

If you are a member of a blacklisted server, you also are subject to being banned from SADOJRP.  If you are the owner, co-owner, developer or hold any other rank in a blacklisted server, you are also subject to permanent ban from SADOJRP.  We believe the best way to get members is to earn them, not steal them.
