Server Rules

These rules apply on all Bestrust servers, our Discord and in-game chat.

Discord and in-game chat

What is NOT allowed?

• Spam, advertisements.
• Racist, homophobic, abusive, and hate speech.
• Any kind of defamation of our servers.
• Being disrespectful towards staff members.
• Reporting / calling out rule breakers. (Always use F7 and open a Discord ticket.)

What is allowed?

• Any languages.
• Game-related toxicity.
• Calling out raids, PVP, base locations, etc to everyone.

Cheating

What is NOT allowed?

• The use of third-party programs is prohibited and will result in a permanent ban.
  For clarity this extends to the use of "filters" to gain unfair advantage during night.
• Evading any restrictions or bans issued by our administrators.
• Previous EAC ban on another account within the last 180 days.
• Steam accounts that are found to be illicitly purchased, especially bot-generated accounts, violate the Steam Subscriber Agreement and will not be allowed to play on our servers, as they pose a risk to its integrity and are often associated with cheating.

Bug abuse

What is NOT allowed?

• Abusing any unintended game glitch or bug, of any plugin or safe zone that may give you an advantage over other players.
• Taking advantage of terrain bugs to build a base, hide loot or enter terrain.

What is allowed?

• Build exploits as long as the base is raidable (i.e: Bunkers/Floor Stacking)

Group limit

What is NOT allowed?

• Exceeding the group limit.
• Any kind of alliance between groups to gain PVP or PVE advantage. You must kill on sight (KOS) other groups in any active PVP area or Monument.
• Sharing codes, authorizations to cupboards, and turrets with other groups.

What is allowed?

• Switching teammates on the condition that:
  The player is already offline and is not coming back for the wipe. You change all codes and remove any authorizations that the player that left may have in your base.
• Giving your base away, same conditions as above.
• Fair trades via vending machines, with trade windows or in safe zones.
• Being friendly, if no PVP of any kind is initiated nearby (Once PVP is initiated by someone you must KOS and can't take sides!)

Failing to follow those conditions will get you banned!

Insiding

What is NOT allowed?

• Scamming, betraying, or stealing from your own teammates (insiding). This includes taking loot, resources, or gear from shared storage for yourself, destroying or giving away the team's base or items, or otherwise abusing the trust and access (codes, cupboard/turret authorization) your team gave you.
• Joining a group under false pretenses in order to gain access and then scam or rob your teammates, or hand their loot/base over to another group.

Stream sniping

What is NOT allowed?

• Streamsniping content creators which are making an active attempt to mask where they are playing.

If you are a streamer, we require you to hide map, use streamer mode, have chat disabled and have a private battlemetrics profile. (Creators partnered with us are exempt from this requirement.)

Staff policies

• Server Moderators are regular trusted players with mute permissions only. They only enforce General Chat Rules and help with general support & questions both in-game and discord.
• Server Admins and Owners have full powers over the game necessary to monitor the server and investigate suspect players. They will also deal with player reports submitted via F7 and/or Discord tickets.
• The main duty of our admins and moderators is helping the community and everyone who plays on Bestrust. Ask for their help in a Discord ticket.
