Killing
Don't kill randomly. You need a reason: someone threatened you, attacked you or your crew, stole or damaged your stuff, provoked you, is competing for your score (same heist, same robbery, same target), or has a bounty (six stars), in which case they can be killed on sight. Revenge is a real right here: if someone kills you, you get one kill back before the next server restart. Check /revenge to see who you have revenge on.
On duty
Cops and medics play by stricter rules. Cops use deadly force only on dangerous suspects: armed, violent, or carrying a bounty. Nobody on duty attacks civilians, surrendering or cuffed suspects, or each other. Medics fight only to defend, and stop the moment the threat ends.
Teaming up
Cops and criminals don't work together. No arrest farming, no feeding loot to your crew while wearing a badge, no medics acting as a crew's private doctor. The in-game bribe system is the one exception.
Cheating
Using any mod that gives you an unfair advantage, like mod menus, aimbots, wallhacks, and damage mods, will result in a permanent ban. Not sure whether a mod is allowed? Open a ticket and ask.
Exploiting
Found a money glitch, dupe, or clip spot? Report it in a Discord ticket. Using it or sharing it gets you banned and possibly reset.
Disconnecting
Don't log out to dodge a death, an arrest, or an admin. Combat logging is punishable even if you'd have survived.
Evading
Banned means banned. Attempting to circumvent a ban with an alt account will double the original ban time. Repeated violations will result in a permanent ban.
Lying and impersonating
Don't lie to staff in reports, appeals, or refund claims. Don't pretend to be staff or threaten people with powers you don't have.
Conduct
This server is a welcoming place for everyone. Trash talk is part of CnR, but know the difference between competitive banter and genuinely hurtful comments. Slurs, harassment, doxxing, sexual content around minors, and real-life threats have no place here. Mic spam and playing inappropriate audio will get you muted, then banned.
Penalties
Escalation is roughly: warning → fine → kick → temporary ban → permanent ban. Severe offenses such as cheating, doxxing, and staff impersonation will result in stronger penalties immediately.
Reports and appeals
Use /report in game to report a player, or open a Discord ticket, with evidence. The burden of proof is on the reporter. Argue bans in tickets, not in chat. Do not discuss moderation decisions in chat.
