= Rules =

'''Rules''' in CIT include both in-game rules and forum rules. These rules cover chat, gameplay, exploits, trading, harmful behavior, forum posting, and account or serial-related abuse.

== Rules Basics ==

The rules in CIT mainly split into:

* in-game rules
* forum rules

Some rule breaks lead to:

* mutes
* [[jail]]
* bans
* account limitations
* serial limitations
* forum warnings
* forum mutes

== In-game rules ==

=== Public chat rules ===

Public chat includes places such as:

* main chat
* team chat
* [[Car Chat|car chat]]

[[Car Chat|Car chat]] follows the same rules as main and team chat.

Main public chat rules include:

* no spam
* no server advertising
* no racism or hate speech
* no insulting players or their families
* no religious or political arguing
* no caps flooding
* non-English [[Main Chat]] messages are moved to Country Chat unless too short to detect

=== Language rules ===

Main Chat no longer has the non-English rule.

Language detection moves non-English Main Chat messages to [[Country Chat]] unless the message is short and the system cannot be sure.

[[Team Chat]] is still an English-only chat.

=== Support Chat rules ===

`[[Support Chat]]` is for CIT-related help.

Allowed topics include:

* commands
* jobs
* systems
* rules
* forums
* other CIT-related questions

Not allowed in `Support Chat`:

* spam
* trolling
* unserious questions
* unrelated questions
* warning other players
* dragging out side conversations
* using non-English
* spamming quotes or symbols
* breaking any other server rule there

Only staff can warn or punish players in `Support Chat`.

=== Swearing and insults ===

Some swearing such as `fuck` can be acceptable in normal conversation.

These are still not allowed:

* harassment
* family insults
* server insults
* racism
* hate speech
* real life identity insults
* body shaming
* homophobic insults
* racial insults

Making fun of a player's punishment is not punishable by itself, unless it becomes harassment.

=== Politics and religion ===

Political and religious arguments in public chat are not allowed.

This falls under:

* `#H`

Political or non-game provoking messages in <code>/superadvert</code> are also not allowed.

=== Spam and flooding ===

The following are punishable:

* repeated words
* repeated dots
* [[emoji]] flooding
* random letters
* caps flooding

=== Server advertising ===

The following are punishable:

* naming other `MTA` servers in chat
* telling players to join another server
* posting other server IPs
* insulting the server with messages such as `dead server`

=== Titles and visible content ===

Titles cannot be:

* religious
* political
* racist
* rude
* offensive
* impersonations of other players

For shaders and flags:

* small flags that are barely visible can be ignored
* larger controversial flags that take a large part of the shader should be removed

=== Mute rule codes ===

== Gameplay, exploits, and trading rules ==

=== In-Game Rule 2 ===

`In-Game Rule 2` covers:

* [[cheating]]
* minor exploiting
* moderate exploiting
* major exploiting
* scamming

Examples listed include:

* hacks
* macros
* serial changing
* exploit abuse for unfair gain
* being `APB` and letting a friend kill you
* infinite-money abuse
* intentionally lying for unfair gain

=== Cheating ===

Cheating includes:

* `[[aimbot]]`
* `wallhack`
* [[speed]] hacks
* auto-heal
* unfair scripts
* bug abuse for an advantage

Aimbot gives:

* a permanent ban

=== Account and serial limitations ===

These can lead to account or serial limitations:

* attempting to sell in-game things for outside payment
* scamming or attempting to scam
* profiting from un-guaranteed transfers

Serious cases can go up to:

* `5` years

Profiting from an un-guaranteed transfer such as selling a zone can be:

* up to `3` months for a first offence
* `1` year for a second offence
* `5` years for a third offence

=== Safe zones and movement abuse ===

The following are punishable:

* intentionally dragging a player out of a safe zone to kill them or move them far away
* repeated ramming or repeated non-damaging attacks
* using `VIP` recover to end up inside an inaccessible area or through a wall
* using a jetpack to reach an inaccessible roof and then switching to [[gangster]]
* tricking players into leaving the game with a command
* blocking map access with [[vehicles]] or other untouchable objects
* placing [[barriers]] to block access or gain a highly unfair advantage

The following are not punishable by themselves:

* standing on the edge of a safe zone
* running into a safe zone to heal or take cover
* satchels passing through walls
* using <code>/rt</code> to escape a fight
* kill farming, unless another rule is broken
* following players around, unless another punishable act is involved
* base invading or standing inside a [[Group Base|group base]] or `[[CITy Zone]]`

=== Vehicle and explosion rules ===

If a player with a `nofire` ban creates an explosion:

* the explosion is cancelled
* the player is killed

[[Vehicles|Vehicle]] or [[aircraft]] explosions can be used to kill players only if they are players you are normally allowed to kill.

[[Hydra]] impact is not punished in these cases:

* in `LV`
* outside the main [[dimension]]
* at `200` meters or more above sea level
* if no player is within `75` meters

=== Group and gameplay sabotage ===

Sabotage includes acts done just to harm or disrupt others.

Example:

* kicking `3+` members from a group you do not own for no real reason

Selling access to your base spawn is not allowed.

Refusing to pay a duel bet is not punishable.

=== Content and private information ===

The following are serious rule breaks:

* sharing or threatening to share someone's IP
* sharing or threatening to share real photos
* sharing or threatening to share personal information
* threatening to hack someone or take their account
* showing obviously inappropriate or disgusting sounds or videos in the [[cinema]]
* using a speaker or <code>/streamurl</code> just to annoy people
* mentioning cheat names in chat in a way that attracts curiosity

Reposting a quote or chat log that breaks the chat rules counts as breaking that same chat rule yourself.

=== Context-sensitive notes ===

These points are also listed:

* saying a website name is not punishable by itself, but posting a link can be punishable
* provoking or insulting [[groups]] in main chat or custom titles is not punishable by itself
* posting something once is not punishable just because others recently posted the same thing
* random insulting in local chat can still be punishable even if it is not aimed at anyone
* saying `fail` after something punishable does not make it allowed
* claiming you were joking with friends does not excuse breaking main-chat rules

== Forum rules ==

=== Rule 1 ===

Forum Rule `1` forbids:

* illegal content
* dangerous content
* highly disgusting content
* copyright-infringing content
* plagiarized content
* links to that content

Group applications must not demand personal information that could be used for cyberbullying.

=== Rule 2 ===

Forum Rule `2` requires forum posts to be:

* honest
* not misleading
* not intended to harm
* not intended to heavily offend
* not intended to create useless drama

=== Rule 3 ===

Forum Rule `3` forbids:

* useless posts
* repetitive posts in serious topics
* AI-written comments posted as if they were your own writing

=== Rule 4 ===

* not animated

Profile names can only use:

* alphabetic characters
* numeric characters
* standard keyboard characters

If you post on behalf of someone else:

* you are responsible for any rule break in that post

=== Rule 6 ===

Forum Rule `6` forbids:

* PMing staff about unrelated things
* @mentioning staff about unrelated things
* annoying staff in other ways

=== Rule 7 ===

Forum Rule `7` says:

* real-world harm or threats are punished harshly

=== Rule 8 ===

Forum Rule `8` says sabotage is punished harshly.

Example:

* deleting topics for no reason

=== Rule 9 ===

Forum Rule `9` forbids bringing the following into the forum, avatar, or signature:

* real-world conflicts
* terrorism
* political beliefs that divide humanity
* cultural beliefs that divide humanity
* religious beliefs that divide humanity

Country flags are not against Rule `9` unless they are modified to emphasize something political.

=== Rule 10 ===

Forum Rule `10` forbids any transaction involving:

* real-world payment
* anything outside the game

The only exception listed is:

* an event officially sponsored or sanctioned by the administration

== Forum mute ==

If your forum warning level goes above:

* `70%`

you become forum muted.

While forum muted, you cannot:

* make topics
* reply to topics
* send forum PMs

Your warning level drops by:

* `1%` per day

Once it goes below:

* `70%`

those actions work again.

== Rule Notes ==

* In-game chat and forum rules are separate, but both can lead to punishments.
* Some behaviors are context-sensitive and only become punishable in certain forms.
* `Support Chat` and forum posting both have stricter misuse rules than normal conversation.
* Public chat rules also apply to car chat.
