Rules

Six rules, the same on every server and in the Discord. A ban on one server is a ban on all of them.

The rules

  1. Be decent. No harassment, no slurs, no doxxing. This applies in the game and in the Discord.
  2. No cheats, hacked clients or macros.
  3. Found an exploit? Report it in #bug-reports. Using it before reporting it is a ban.
  4. No advertising other servers.
  5. Staff's word is final; appeal by DM to a Moderator.
  6. Scams, threats and account trading get you banned, whatever the game mode allows in-game.

That last one matters on Survival: winning a fight where PvP is on, looting a base in the Warzone or out-trading someone is the game. Scamming a trade, threatening a person or selling your account is not.

How it is enforced

  • Bans are network-wide. A ban issued on any server locks you out of every server on Sturdy, because every server shares one account and one punishment record.
  • Mutes are per server. A mute on Survival is a Survival mute.
  • Chat is moderated in both places. Survival's chat is bridged to the Discord, and the Discord has automatic filters for slurs, spam and other servers' invites.
  • Staff are players too. Helpers look after one server; Moderators and Admins cover the whole network. Everyone on staff passed an application and an interview (join them).

Reporting someone

  • In the Discord: #reports for players, #bug-reports for exploits and bugs. Say which server, who, what happened and roughly when. A screenshot helps.
  • Found an exploit? Report it before anyone uses it. Reporting is rewarded with thanks; using it is a ban (rule 3).
  • Something urgent in game: ask for staff in chat; the Discord's staff ping reaches whoever is on.

Appeals

Think a punishment was wrong? DM a Moderator on the Discord with your Minecraft username and what happened. Keep it calm and factual; the person reading it was not necessarily the one who issued it. Chargeback bans are handled by the store's own process (see the store's terms).

Per-server rules

Each game mode adds its own rules for its own game: where PvP is allowed, what counts as griefing, how town claims work. Survival's are in the Survival guide. Heist's and Mob Wars' arrive with those servers.
