Note that the punishments for these offenses are listed in the staff guidelines, but staff may issue punishment with some discretion depending on the context of a situation. The staff guidelines can be located Here. Staff always reserve the right to make punishments based on their discretion within reason.



1. Do Not RDM (Random Deathmatch)
RDM is killing a player without a legitimate reason. Some examples of RDM are prop killing, goomba stomping, pushing players off edges, killing provens or detectives, and killing AFKs before overtime. A full list of reasons to KOS can be found near the bottom of this page. Do not KOS people that clearly are consenting to fight each other.


RDM Types and Punishments:
Normal RDM: 1 slay
Attempted RDM(20+ damage): 1 slay
Intentional T-On-T RDM: 2 slays
Mass RDM: 7 Day Ban
Consistent RDM: One Month Ban
Causing RDM may also result in a warning based on staff discretion.

2. Do Not False KOS
Calling a KOS for a reason other than those shown at the bottom of this page is a false KOS. Traitors may call a false KOS to get innocents to kill each other. Any other player who calls a false KOS may be reported.


3. Do Not Call Bounties
Do not offer pointshop points for killing another player regardless of whether it would be RDM or not.


4. Do Not Spam
Chat and mic spam are never allowed. Do not impede the communication of others by flooding either the voice or text chats. Arguments that prevent others from enjoying the game are also prohibited.



5. Do Not Exploit, Hack, Metagame or Otherwise Avoid the Game's Intended Limits
This includes ghosting, metagaming, hacking, and exploiting maps. Ghosting includes sharing any type of information with someone from the grave that could affect the outcome of a round, including staff. Depending on the severity this could lead to an immediate permanent ban.

• Do not try to escape the map bounds or exploit map/server bugs.

• Do not intentionally attempt to crash the server.

• Do not hack or DDOS the server to either get an unfair advantage or bog the server down

Moderate Ghosting Includes:

• psay message to another player on the server with game-related information
• New players who may not be familiar with rules talking to friends in Voice or Text Chat outside of gmod
• Anything accidental.

Severe Ghosting Includes:

• Intentional/Malicious sharing of game-related information through voice or text chat.
  example: Someone who knows the rules psaying a friend on the server telling them who the traitor was that killed them

6. Do Not Flame, Harass, Or Troll Players
Flaming, harassing, trolling, or targeting other players is prohibited. Spamming, trolling with, or using any offensive language (racism, sexism, etc) towards other people is NOT allowed. Repeatedly doing amounts of damage that are not reportable can also be considered trolling (10 dmg to someone every round as an example). Targeting is specifically singling out a player to act against across multiple maps or days. For example, if every time you are a traitor you hit a specific person this could be considered targeting. Another example would be following the same player every round. Do not randomly prop kill people during pre-round unless they consent. No T-Baiting (Traitor Baiting). Examples of T-Baiting includes but is not limited to: Shooting near another player, throwing discombobulator/incendiary grenades, claiming you are a traitor. Do not participate in anything that may be questionably legal, this includes things such as actual violence, actual crimes, exploitation of minors (including "jokes" and suggestive comments,) and doxxing.



Karma Baiting Punishment:
-1st Offence: Warning
-2nd Offence: Warning+Slay
-3rd Offence: Kick
-4th Offence: 1 Day Ban


7. Do Not Lie in Reports
Do not knowingly present false information in reports to get another player slain or to get out of your own slay.

8. Do Not Argue with Staff
Staff decisions are final. If you disagree, please discuss it with the admins via admin chat (@message) if you are dissatisfied with the results or the process of how your situation was handled, please reach out to us on the forums and we’re happy to assist you further in settling things.

9. Do Not Abuse Commands
Do not abuse any in-game commands that you have access to. (Mainly applies to donor mod for slap and slay)

Miscellaneous

• Do not delay (Running out of time as a traitor unless actively looking for innocents or failing to kill/significantly damage anyone for 3 minutes as the last traitor OR hiding in a location that is unreachable or where you cannot be attacked within normal means of movement in the map (without having to prop surf) for an extended period of time)

• Have a name that is pronounceable, readable and typable in English ASCII characters. Do not have a name similar to any other players.

• Do not mislead new players with information that might ruin their experience.

• Do not sit Idle / AFK in Spectator if you're not playing. Do not time farm. You will be kicked for sitting AFK for any more than 4 rounds.
  *This excludes Staff actively watching other players / handling RDM reports.

• Do not interfere mid-round by possessing props to either cause damage/death to players, or try to break map doors.

• Do not advertise other community websites or servers. Doing so will result in a gag/mute.

Reasons to call a Kill-on-Sight(KOS):

The below lists of reasons to KOS and sus are for reference, and cover the most common issues. However, these are not complete lists and do not necessarily cover all edge cases. If anything comes up that is not covered by what is shown below, it is to be handled at staff discretion. Killing someone who called a legitimate kos based on the below reasons may yield a slay.

• Killing Detectives, except when they are RDMing.

• Throwing incendiary grenades near non-kosed players.

• Entering traitor room while unproven.

• Calling a KOS on someone who is proven Innocent and not a Detective.

• Throwing discombobulators such that they can push people off ledges, causing damage.
  Prop killing.

• Causing damage by falling onto players.

• Damaging/Destroying/Rendering Useless a tester or detective equipment. This also applies to destructible map testers.

• Breaking a bridge with players on it such that it causes damage.

• Killing or injuring someone with explosive barrels.

• Holding explosive barrels near players.

• Activating map traps with the intent to kill someone.

• Having DNA of an Innocent or Detective on you.

• Knowingly walking past or failing to identify a reasonably visible unidentified body.

• Failing to respond to a live check in overtime.

• Entering a room that was validly claimed.

• T-baiting.

• Door Blocking. (After giving the player blocking a door/hallway 3 warnings in chat, (and if there are no other ways in/out of a specific area) you may shoot the person blocking.)

• Continuing to throw props at a player after a warning+ample time is given.

• Door Spamming after a warning+ample time is given.

• Damaging Innocents for a reason not stated above.

• Having a traitor item while unproven.

• Following after 3 consecutive warnings.

• Knowingly contributing to the traitor objective on applicable objective maps.

• Carrying any map-specific item that can damage, trap, or harm players, whether they be a T trap or prop weapon.

- Unless the Detective or Innocent was RDMing.
- You may not call a KOS based on Player Model, Weapon, Last Seen, Trail, or Sounds.

Note: A KOS works both ways, if you KOS someone they have every right to kill you. You should not KOS someone acting in self defense (they got attacked first and returned fire).



Map Specific Reasons to KOS:

ttt_minecraft_b5
- Throwing away the gold block is KOSable, but throwing away the diamond blocks is not.


Rule changes in Overtime:

• KOS can be called for one of the suspicion reasons below.

• Detectives may call "test or kos".

• Traitors purposely avoiding confrontation for extended time may be slain.

• You can kill AFKs.

• Innocents may claim rooms.

• Owners of a claim may kill any non-detectives that tries to enter or open the door to the claim.

• You can call: live check or KOS (You may call live check during the round, but not live check or KOS.)

1 To call a "test or kos" the detective must give the name of the target, sufficient time for the target to test, and the target must be fairly close the detective and the tester
2 A valid claim requires that the room not be an intersection needed to move through the map, and the claim must be called out with a description of the space being claimed. The claim is in effect only while the claimer is within its bounds.


Reasons to Call Suspicion:

• Turning off lights on any applicable map.

• Being near the bodies of people who recently died.

• Refusing to test for a detective's "test or sus" even if proven.

• Claiming to have killed someone that you didn't.

• Carrying the body of a T who later gets revived.

• Refusing to follow a kos.

• Being AFK at overtime.

• Refusing to allow or otherwise hindering a detective's ability to gather DNA from a body.

1. To call a "test or sus" the detective must give the name of the target, sufficient time for the target to test, and the target must be fairly close the detective and the tester, avoid "test or susing" someone in chat if there is a lot of chat spam.
2. If they get revived relatively soon (1ish minute) after the person was carrying their body.
3. If the kosed person is then killed and identified as a T and the refuser was given reasonable time to act on the kos.
4. Players who get proven and then go AFK are exempt, as well as detectives for obvious reasons.
5. This includes running away with a body, destroying a body, or otherwise placing it in an unreachable location unless.



Note: You may KOS based on 2nd-hand suspicion only if you also know the reason behind the original sus
