Rules - Uros Roleplay Forums

Code of Conduct & Decrees

1. Respect & Community Conduct

We are a community-first server. How you treat the person behind the screen matters more than the character they play.

Harassment, Toxicity & Hate Speech

Zero tolerance: racism, homophobia, sexism, religious prejudice, and comparable hateful behaviour result in severe punishment, often a permanent ban.
Toxic behaviour: constant baiting, dogpiling, public drama, and making other players feel unwelcome is not acceptable.
Bullying: targeted harassment in game, on Discord, or by DM is prohibited.

IC vs OOC Separation

You are not your character. In-character rivalries, insults, arrests, wars, and betrayals must remain in-character.
Use staff channels properly. If you have a real dispute, use /modreq, staff DMs, or the proper support route rather than public fighting.

Consequences: Verbal Warning → 3–7 Day Ban → Permanent Ban. Hate speech can skip directly to permanent removal.

2. Roleplay Integrity

Uros expects immersive medieval fantasy roleplay. Your character does not know Discord chatter, hidden nametags, coordinates from a stream, or what your alternate character learned elsewhere.

Metagaming

Using OOC information to benefit your character is forbidden.

✘ Violation

"I saw on Discord where the ambush is happening, so my character goes there fully prepared."

✔ Valid RP

"I heard rumours in-character and decided to investigate."

Powergaming

Do not force outcomes, instant wins, or impossible physical actions onto others.

✘ Violation

"*slashes his throat instantly, killing him before he can react.*"

✔ Valid RP

"*attempts to grab him and hold a blade to his neck.*"

Multi-Character Abuse

Your alternate characters are separate people.
You may not use one character to gather information, money, or advantage for another through OOC coordination.
Do not use alt characters to bypass bounty, criminal consequences, lock permissions, or social reputation.

Magic & Lore

Magic is lore-bound and cannot be improvised because it suits a scene.
If a magical ability, race trait, or hidden talent is not approved, it does not exist in RP.

Consequences: Scene voiding, warning points, temporary bans, or character action rollbacks depending on severity.

3. Combat, Death & Logging

Combat exists to support story, consequences, and territorial conflict, not random murder.

No RDM

No random attacks without a valid RP reason and clear initiation.

NLR

Dying in PvP has memory and return consequences. Respect staff/event rulings on new life application.

Permadeath is serious and should align with story stakes, consent, or staff-backed event outcomes.

Combat Logging

Disconnecting to avoid capture, death, or review is treated as a major offense.

Initiation Standards

You must provide an RP reason and enough warning for the other side to understand danger exists.
Immediate violence without lead-up should be extremely rare and staff-defensible.
Use /roll when a scene calls for uncertain outcomes rather than forced narration.

Consequences: Inventory wipes, forced scene outcomes, long bans, and permanent bans for repeat offenders or combat log abuse.

4. Property, Locks & Theft

Uros uses an actual lock system, so property disputes are not vague. Respect what the system and the story are telling you.

Lock Types Matter

Private locks are private. If you are not on the lock, do not try to force access by loopholes or bugs.
Public locks protect the block but intentionally allow normal interaction.
Donation containers are for putting items in, not taking them out unless authorised.
Password locks are IC security. Do not OOC-share passwords unless the RP justifies it.

Theft & Trespass

Stealing from an unlocked or intentionally public container may be an IC crime even if the plugin allows it.
Using glitches, block updates, inventory desync, hoppers, or other tricks to bypass a lock is an exploit, not clever thievery.
Do not abuse alt characters to scout passwords, test lock access, or move stolen goods out-of-character.

Shops, Treasuries & Economic Storage

Do not exploit shop ownership, rental logic, donation chests, or treasury permissions.
Economy storage and lock abuse will be handled as both property abuse and economy exploitation.

Consequences: Item restoration, rollback, warning points, temporary bans, and harsher punishment for deliberate exploit use.

5. Communication & Messaging

Chat Behaviour

Keep IC and OOC channels used correctly.
Do not spam help, OOC, birds, or PMs.
Birds are an IC system. Treat their content as in-world correspondence, not OOC shortcuts.

Private Messages & Staff Support

Do not harass people through PMs because you think it is less visible.
Do not weaponize /modreq or spam tickets for drama, false accusations, or nuisance reports.
Use support channels honestly. False or malicious reports are punishable.

6. Building, Shops & World Interaction

Aesthetic Standards

Build within the medieval fantasy theme unless staff explicitly approve something unusual.
No joke skyscrapers, immersion-breaking signs everywhere, or careless terrain scarring in developed areas.

World Abuse

Griefing for the sake of damage is banned.
Using mechanics to permanently ruin settlements, shops, or player projects without staff-backed conflict context is not acceptable.
Do not abuse custom crafting, ore systems, shops, or storage mechanics in ways clearly outside intended use.

Consequences: Rollback, confiscation, warnings, and bans depending on damage and intent.

7. Exploits, Clients & Unfair Advantage

No hacked clients, x-ray, fly hacks, item dupes, economy exploits, packet abuse, or intentional bug abuse.
If you discover a bug in locks, shops, combat, treasuries, crafting, or messaging, report it. Do not test it on live players for profit.
“I was just seeing if it worked” is not a defense once items, money, or access rights were gained.

Consequences: Exploit rollbacks, confiscation, long bans, or permanent bans depending on severity and intent.

8. Content Safety

ERP is not welcome here.
Sexual violence, extreme torture, suicide roleplay, or similarly severe content without explicit staff and participant approval is prohibited.
Do not use “dark fantasy” as an excuse to make the space unsafe for others.

Consequences: Immediate severe punishment up to and including permanent bans.

Finality of Staff Decisions

Staff are expected to be fair, but they also need to end situations cleanly. If a staff member makes an immediate ruling to keep the server playable, follow it first and appeal later through the proper route.

Administrative Discretion

Rules cannot cover every edge case in a custom RP server with economy, locks, shops, crafting, and combat systems. Deliberately abusing loopholes will be judged by intent, not by how cleverly the loophole was found.
