Breaking character: Always stay in the perspective of your character. Any roleplay that is violating rules should be reported in the player dispute section in the forum.
No sexually explicit behavior outside of the strip club: Erotic roleplay, or any sexually explicit behavior, is prohibited outside of the strip club. Inside the strip club, sexual behavior should be restricted to the scripts provided by the server. Players should be respectful to one another and express consent before engaging in any sexually explicit roleplay.
No torture roleplay: Torture roleplay, including cutting off body parts and waterboarding individuals, is not allowed.
No low-effort roleplay: Players should make a concerted effort to engage in high-quality roleplay and avoid low-effort roleplay.

Examples of low-effort roleplay include: always shooting, running from police where it isn't called for, cop baiting, running up to an active scene and looting/scavenging people's cars/bodies, chain store robberies, robbing a place 30 minutes prior to server restart.
Not valuing life: Players should roleplay in a manner that is fearful of injuries or when being threatened with a weapon and should value the lives of their characters and others.
Respect safe areas: Hospitals and law enforcement agencies are considered safe areas and should not be targeted by criminal activities.

Using information learned from a Discord channel or message to make decisions in your own roleplay, even though your character would not have access to this information.
Using information learned from a private conversation with another player to make decisions in your own roleplay, even though your character would not have access to this information.
