Server Rules & Community Guidelines

Welcome to the TCGamers Rust community.

Our goal is to provide a fair, enjoyable and respectful environment for everyone, whether you’re playing on our Rust servers or chatting in our Discord community.

These rules are designed to protect the community, encourage fair play and ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to enjoy the game. By joining our servers or Discord, you agree to follow these guidelines.

Common Sense & Community Conduct

Players are expected to behave with maturity and common sense at all times.

While not every situation can be covered by written rules, actions that intentionally harm the community or negatively impact other players may still result in administrative action.

General expectations include:

  • Treat everyone with respect.
  • Use common sense before acting.
  • Listen to staff instructions.
  • Do not intentionally ruin another player’s experience.
  • Do not encourage others to break the rules.
  • Do not exploit loopholes simply because they are not specifically listed.
  • Remember that staff decisions are made to protect the community.

Respect & Communication

We strive to maintain a welcoming and friendly community.

The following behaviour is not permitted:

  • Personal attacks or harassment.
  • Hate speech or discrimination.
  • Excessive toxicity.
  • Threats or intimidation.
  • Impersonating staff members.
  • Spamming or intentionally disrupting chat or voice channels.

Friendly banter is encouraged, but always remain respectful.

Cheating, Exploits & Third-Party Software

Maintaining a fair playing field is one of our highest priorities.

The following is strictly prohibited:

  • Cheats or hacks.
  • ESP, aimbots or recoil scripts.
  • Macro abuse.
  • Modified game clients.
  • Exploiting bugs or unintended mechanics.
  • Graphical exploits.
  • Circumventing game mechanics for an unfair advantage.

If you discover a bug, report it instead of abusing it.

Ban Evasion

Do not attempt to bypass a punishment.

This includes:

  • Using another Steam account.
