• All Community Guidelines listed below
• General Server Rules
• Terms Of Service
• Privacy Policy
   

 General Community Guidelines

• Do not post any of the following:
  • Racism
  • Pornography
  • Sexually suggestive content
  • Your own personal information
  • Personal information of other users
• Keep all discussions on topic
  • The topic is determined by the category in which the content is created. Read the category's description for more details on what is allowed
  • Content that belongs in another category will be moved or deleted without notice if a relevant category does not exist
• Treat everyone with respect at all times
• Do not post content with the intention of starting an argument or stirring up drama 
  • Your posts should be written in a way that is non-combative, even when the post has the intention of creating discourse
  • Content that is argumentative or results in drama will be deleted without warning or discussion. Choose your words wisely
• Do not forums trash
  • Your posts should answer a question, give a personal opinion on a topic, provide support, or generate new positive discussion
  • Examples:
    • Unintelligible posts or posts which have no purpose
    • One word or single-line posts
    • Posts which would be better sent via DMs or Discord
    • Posts that are not related to the topic
    • A post containing nothing but an image
• Do not advertise anything that is not related to Garry's Mod or the TitsRP server
• Your content must address the community as a whole and not a specific group or person
  • Bad Examples:
    • Making a post in General Discussion calling on all of your gang members to hop on the server
    • Making a post pinging a specific user to send you a friend request on Discord
  • Good Examples:
    • A post in the Developer category asking for help with an addon's source code
    • A post in General Discussion asking everyone to give their feedback on a new rule change
• Report any content that violates these guidelines using the built-in report function
  • Do not take matters into your own hands
  • Do not try to moderate users via posts or replies. Stop replying and report the offensive content 
     

 Ban Appeals / Player Reports

• Do not reply to a ban appeal or player report unless you are staff or can prove that you are directly involved in the situation 
  • If providing evidence on a ban appeal or report, your post must contain both a statement of your involvement and evidence to support it
    • Simply saying that you saw something happen is not enough and your post will be deleted
• Do not ping staff, direct message, or create a post regarding the status of your ban appeal or report
• Do not spam ban appeals or reports. Read the category's rules at the top of the topic list for how long you need to wait
• Do not make appeals or reports on an alt account, you MUST post on your main, or contact staff privately with your main, otherwise the appeal or report will be automatically denied
•  Only fill out reports for serious offenses like Mass Offenses(3+)/Exploiting/Cheating/Extreme Toxicity/Racism/Homophobia/Transphobia/Antisemitism/Scamming/FDA in a raid/Repeated Priors/Player Toxicity/Illegal Threats or Discussions or Accusations/NLR if it can not be handled in RP or in game/Staff Rule Breaks/Other things that  can hold harsh consequences. There may be exceptions in allowing lighter offenses as reports if it is deemed necessary. If a report is deemed to not fit into this category it will be instantly denied.
• Overall Staff discretion will decide what is and isn't considered a light or serious offense when it comes to reports, and will be handled on a case-by-case basis based on severity of the situation, motives, or intentions of the reporters/victims/offenders.

 

 Account Violations & Warnings

• Violating any of these guidelines will result in a warning placed on your account or a suspension of your forum privileges
• Warnings are bound to your account and will never expire. If you reach a certain number of warning points, your forum privileges will be revoked

• A negative reputation may, in some cases and at the discretion of the site administrators, result in your forum privileges being revoked
• Do not spam negative reputation on a user
  • This means going on to their recent posts and repeatedly -repping their content with the intention of lowering their score
• Do not ping staff, mention, or create a post asking staff to adjust your reputation. You may appeal it via the appeals category
