General rules
These rules apply on every Nerux server and in the Discord. By joining you accept them. Not knowing them is no defence.
How we treat each other
- Respect: No insults, no toxic behaviour, no harassment — in game and on Discord alike.
- No hate speech: Racism, sexism or homophobia lead to an immediate permanent ban. There is no warning for this.
- Content: No NSFW content, no gore, no illegal links — not as sign art or base decoration either.
- Advertising: No advertising for other servers or platforms.
- Language: German or English, so the team can follow along.
Fair play
- No cheating: Hacks, scripts and exploiting bugs are banned on every server. Playing alongside cheaters is treated the same way.
- No dupes: Duplicating items is a ban, without a warning.
- No ban evasion: A ban applies to the person, not the account. Alternate accounts are banned too.
- No exploiting server bugs: Find a bug and report it — exploit it and you lose access.
- No stream sniping: Using someone's live stream to learn their position, base or gear is treated the same as cheating. Watching is fine, hunting along is not.
Reporting something
- No public call-outs: Do not accuse anyone in chat. It settles nothing and disturbs everyone else.
- Open a ticket: Report incidents in the
#supportchannel on Discord. That is the only route that gets handled. - Include evidence: Without proof there is nothing to check.
- Cheating or teaming: a video clip (Medal, YouTube) and the combat log.
- Chat incidents: unedited screenshots.
- In-game bugs: a short description, the location and a clip if possible.
What a breach leads to
- Sequence: warning → kick → ban. For cheating, dupes and hate speech the warning is skipped.
- Who decides: depending on severity, admins may mute, kick or ban.
- Appeals: team decisions are final. If you think one is wrong, open a ticket — not a debate in public chat.
These rules can change. Changes are announced on Discord.
Regeln auf den Rust-Servern
- Kein Cheating: Hacks, Skripte oder das Ausnutzen von Bugs = permanenter Bann. Das Spielen mit Cheatern wird identisch bestraft.
- Team-Limit — je nach Server: Auf den Small-Servern (Karte 3500) maximal 2 Spieler pro Team. Auf dem Medium-Server (Karte 4500) darf ein Team bis zu 8 Mitglieder führen, von denen aber höchstens 4 gleichzeitig online sein dürfen — der fünfte kommt nicht auf den Server. Das gilt jeweils für Roaming, Raiding, Verteidigung sowie TC-/Schloss-Autorisierungen.
- Keine Allianzen: Kein Teaming und keine Friedenspakte zwischen verschiedenen Gruppen. Kein Verschenken von High-Tier-Loot, kein „Slaving“. Handel ist nur über Safe-Zone-Tauschfenster oder Verkaufsautomaten erlaubt.
- Mate-Wechsel: Dauerhafte Team-Wechsel müssen vorab per Discord-Ticket genehmigt werden.
- Chat: Nur Englisch/Deutsch. Keine anstößige Schilder-Kunst (Sign-Art).
- Griefing: Eine geraidete Basis darf nicht dauerhaft versiegelt werden — der ursprüngliche Besitzer muss nach dem Raid Zugang behalten. Kein massives Campen an Safe-Zone-Grenzen.
Dazu gelten die allgemeinen Regeln weiter oben — Umgangston, Support-Weg und Ablauf bei Verstößen. Fragen dazu im Discord.
Rules on the Rust servers
- No Cheating: Hacks, scripts, or exploiting bugs = permanent ban. Playing with cheaters carries the same penalty.
- Team limit — depends on the server: On the Small servers (map 3500) a maximum of 2 players per team. On the Medium server (map 4500) a team may have up to 8 members, but no more than 4 of them online at the same time — the fifth is refused at connect. Either way this applies to roaming, raiding, defending, and TC/lock authorizations.
- No Alliances: No teaming or peace pacts between different groups. No gifting high-tier loot or slaving. Trading is only allowed via safe zone trade windows or vending machines.
- Swapping Mates: Permanent teammate changes must be approved via a Discord ticket before making the switch.
- Chat: English/German only. No offensive sign art.
- Griefing: Do not permanently seal a raided base. The original owner must be able to access it after the raid. No heavy camping of safe zone borders.
The general rules above apply on top of these — conduct, support channel and enforcement. Questions in the Discord.
