Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

18+ Expectations

18+ Players Only: This server is designated strictly for players 18 years and older. Due to global laws regarding minors, no exceptions are allowed.
Content Appropriateness: While this is an 18+ server, we expect all interactions to maintain a respectful tone. Avoid excessive foul language or explicit content that may cause discomfort to others.

Show respect to everyone. Harassment, discrimination, or any form of negative behavior will not be tolerated.
Maintain a positive atmosphere by using appropriate language and behavior, whether in-game or in voice/text channels.
Streaming Awareness: Be mindful that your actions in the game may be visible to a broader audience. Any behavior that could violate streaming platform policies or harm the server's reputation is strictly prohibited. Please do not play copyrighted music in server.
Character and Team Names must not be inappropriate
If you are unsure whether something breaks a rule, don’t do it or ask a staff member.

No Deliberate Ramming: Intentional ramming is strictly prohibited, except in races specifically designated as banger races or demolition derby events.
Follow the Pace Car: When a pace car is used, follow at a safe distance and avoid overtaking unless instructed by race control.
Listen to Race Control: Comply with all instructions given by race control during events. Ignoring or arguing with race control may result in penalties or removal from the race.

The Race Control and Team (1-10) channels on Discord are available for communication and coordination during events. These channels are optional but recommended for improved race management and teamwork.
Radio Communication for Organized Events: During organized racing events, all racers and their support staff must use the radio phone app and tune to frequency 100.00 to receive instructions from race control. Ad-hoc races started by players do not require radios. Do not key up on this channel unless you need to communicate directly with race control.
Discord Voice Channel Disclaimer: Members may be recording or streaming while in voice chat channels during server activities.

Role-Playing: Role-play activities, such as opening stores or acting as a mechanic, are allowed. However, racing is the primary focus, and RP activities may not receive engagement if they interfere with races.
Tow Trucks and Fire/EMS: Tow trucks and Fire/EMS are permitted. Fire/EMS/Tow may assist racers after a crash once it has been deemed safe by race control. All support vehicles must follow race control instructions and avoid disrupting ongoing races.

Cop Cars: The use of cop cars is allowed as prop cars for racing but you are not an leo at that time.
Acting as an leo: you may only act as an leo when consent is given from civs or during organized illegal street racing as part of the racing event
Pursuit Guidelines:
- Realistic Pursuits: Keep pursuits realistic. Avoid off-roading if your vehicle could not realistically handle the terrain.
- LEO Traffic Rules: Law enforcement officers (LEO) must remain in the correct lane for their direction of travel and are not to pursue vehicles into oncoming traffic.
- Racer Traffic Rules: Racers are discouraged from driving into oncoming lanes during pursuits. While not strictly prohibited, this tactic gives racers an unfair advantage since LEO can not follow you, this almost guarantees a win for the racer and is considered unfair to LEO.
Taser use: Only LEO are permitted to use the Taser, as it is the only ranged weapon available in server. LEO should try to verbally de-escalation a situation before using a taser. Once a suspect has been successfully tased, they are considered detained.

Movie and Show Characters: Add-on peds that feature characters from movies and shows are available for use by all players, except for those in Fire, EMS, and LEO roles. This restriction helps maintain a professional appearance for emergency services during events.

Violations of this SOP may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on the severity of the infraction.
Ban Appeals: Appeals are available and will be discussed by server admin staff. All appeal determinations are final.
Ban Evasion: Any attempt to evade a ban will result in an additional ban or an extension of the existing ban.
