Section A: General Rules
A1. Listen to staff instructions at all times in a staffing situation.
Definitions
- Staffing Situation: Any scenario where you are actively engaged in a discussion regarding rules with a staff member.
What It Means
- As a player: You are expected to follow the instructions of the staff member that is leading a situation.
- As a staff member: You are expected to provide instruction that is in line with our "(DRP) Rules and Guidelines" and other misc. staff documentation.
Why It Exists
- This rule exists to establish the expectation that players in a situation you are guiding are going to listen to your verdict and instruction.
Proper Punishment/Enforcement
- There is no enforcement for this rule, this is just a reminder for players to listen to staff at all times.
Examples
Ex 1: Player B calls a sit on Player A and you pull both of them into the sit area. Player A begins to run away from the sit, and after you tell Player A to stay in the sit area, they decide to do it again. You proceed to freeze the player in order to complete the sit. (Only freeze players if absolutely necessary, as this prevents the, from playing the game, you will be removed if you abuse this.)
Ex 2: Unknown calls a sit on imanoob2000. After you pull Unknown and imanoob2000 into the sit, noob proceeds to mic spam loud noises. After you ask him to stop he proceeds to play the music. You warn and punish noob for "Chat Spam (Class I)"

A2. Be respectful to other players and do not go out of your way to ruin other players experiences on our server.
Definitions
- Witchhunting: Deliberately going out of your way to ruin the experience of another player.
- Repeatedly telling players/staff to kill themselves.
What It Means
- As a player: Don't witchhunt people, don't intentionally try to get people to leave. Never create unnecessary controversy.
- As a staff: Don't let players continuously and intently harass other players.
Why It Exists
- In our community, we have an expectation that all of our players are entitled to a fair, fun, and harassment-free environment.
- When we enforce this rule well, it keeps players around because they know they don't need to worry about other people ruining their fun.
Proper Punishment/How to Enforce
- Before punishing a player for the behavior, you need to make it clear that the behavior needs to stop.
- There is a fine line between normal G-Mod banter and continuous harassment, when the player being harrassed has no option but to put up with the other player, that is when it is considered Witchhunting.
- Staff: Click here for more info on how to properly enforce Witchhunting
- Witchhunting (Class II)
Examples
Ex. 1: Player A continuously follows and makes obscene comments towards Player B, making it so that Player B is unable to play the game without Player A trying to ruin it. Player B makes a ticket and you spectate Player A for 5 minutes to find out that they are indeed causing trouble. You proceed to tell Player A to stop and they agree to stop. Since the behavior is handled, no warns need to be given.
Ex. 2: Noob keeps standing outside of Wilkers' base talking trash and saying mean things about his mother. Wilkers is offended by this and calls a ticket, but after you spectate Wilkers for 5 minutes you notice that the comments are only being made when Wilkers is running out and about, and he isn't being "continuously harrassed". You proceed to tell Wilkers that the player is not Witchhunting them, and that if they don't want to be around the player, they need to stay away from them.
Ex. 3: xxatmcxx has been getting followed by Proudfi for the past 10 minutes. After xxatmcxx reports the behavior, you tell Proudfi to stop and they proceed to continously harrass xxatmcxx right after the sit is over. Since you already told Proudfi to stop the behavior and they are continuing to do it, you warn them for "Witchhunting"

Examples
(Bad Design Example) This is a failbase, this base design makes use of no-collided props.
Sign Rules (SR)
GSR1. There are 3 allowed sign types on AtomicRP: KOS/AOS, Building, and RP Build signs.
What It Means
- KOS: Kill On Sight: if you place one of these textscreens down, you are allowed to kill the player for violating the conditions of your textscreen.
- AOS: Arrest on Sight: if you place one of these down, you are allowed to arrest the player for violating the conditions of your textscreen.
- Building: (Only allowed when you have nothing that people can steal inside) You are building your base, you cannot be raided (but misc. RP actions can still be performed on you) - Only you (not party) are allowed to KOS people inside of your building area, but they are not allowed to kill you.
- RP Build: Used to show that your complete build has no raidables, and is for RP only, bases with this sign can't be raided and can ignore the rules on entryways and shooting blinds.
Building and RP Build signs can be used by any job.
For KOS signs, you must be a job that can base.
What It Means
- KOS: Kill On Sight: if you place one of these textscreens down, you are allowed to kill the player for violating the conditions of your textscreen.

GSR2. KOS/Building/RP Build signs must be: Size 40 and above and specific.

- No KOS signs with the following reasonings...
- "KOS if Annoying", "KOS if Loitering", "KOS Any Reason"
- "Once KOS always KOS", "KOS will chase"
- If a player has to have an internal debate in their head as to whether or not they are KOS inside of your base, your KOS sign is not specific.
Why It Exists
- So base owners can't just have free RDM passes to kill people.
- So people can see all signage around the map.
Proper Punishment/Enforcement
- Before enforcing this rule, verbally note to the player that if they continue the behavior that there will be a punishment. (If they already have a record of the behavior, punish the player)
