• General behaviour
• Please keep it generally clean. Some cursing is allowed of course.
• Violence and making threats is part of the game, it's a gangster game after all but keep it reasonably clean.
• Threatening people's lives is called role play, get over it but keep the threats and abuse in game!
• Making personal real life threats about someone and their family is not acceptable - punishment will vary on the severity of the incident.
• If you are unsure if what you are doing is against the rules, then ask an admin or helper. Ignorance is not an excuse.
• Cheating
• No duping
• Each player is allowed only one active account.
• No sharing accounts
• Each player may only log into his or her own account.
• Do not share your password with anyone else.
• Scripting
• No automated mouse clickers.
• No applications that make use of OCR.
• No other automated software intended to do the players work.
• Cheaters will be Admin Whacked and banned.
• If you suspect someone is cheating, TELL AN ADMIN! Never whack someone because YOU know or think that they are cheating.
• Pornographic, racist and discriminatory material
• Pornographic, racist and discriminatory material will be somewhat tolerated but don't be stupid about it.
• To elaborate on the above defining of "Pornographic", I will try to clarify:
  Pornography covers any provocative imagery. I believe 99% of people in the world are able to understand what any ordinary person would define as tolerable, however it's that remaining 1% that feel that "tolerable" is not specific enough. Suffice it to say that anything that flaunts nudity is taboo.
  
  This does not mean that anything that does not fall into into the "nudity" category is acceptable, again I will try to rely on the users tact to determine what is appropriate and what is not, but I get the itching feeling that someone is going to need it explained to them in great detail one day... But we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
• This includes in: communications messages, forums, profile signatures, character names or anywhere else.
• If it's clean and not directed at individuals it will probably be ok. Personal attacks and singling people out is not ok. If it would generally be accepted by most people then it may be ok, this game is after all based on crime, corruption, drugs and illegal activities. If in doubt just don't do it or you may be admin whacked. Examples of ok are naming a gang "White Power" or "Black Power". Not ok is singling out races, religions, individuals, full nudity, child pornography or vulgar pictures. It comes down to what others think your intent is, if you did not intend it to be interpreted that way then that's tough for you. Admin's say is final.
• Spam \ Forum spam \ Thread bumping \ Advertising
• Spamming messages begging for money is bad. Please don't.
• Forum owners need to clean this type of thing up.
• If a user is a repeat offender, report it to an admin.
• Bugs \ Glitches \ Loopholes
• All bugs, glitches, loopholes and other problems with the games code should be reported immediately.
• Anyone found abusing any such problems in the game will be Admin whacked.
• Admin participation \ Interference
• Players will not be removed from vacation mode early unless it was prearranged with an admin. Only that admin will remove you from vacation mode.
• An admin will NOT give out information on another player. Do not ask.
• Specific rules
• A Godfather may not move home cities to see who owns a Drug house.
• Do not maliciously frame active players.
• Do not frame death sentence cases on active players. If they did the crime that's fine.
• Do not frame Helpdesk with cases.
• Do not excessively frame a player with cases. Most notably during war situations, ordering players to do so falls under this category.
• Donor money is not to be used as an in-game currency for assigning hits.
• Donor money transfers for in game items will not be enforced by Admin, you trade at your own risk.
• Changes to the rules
• These rules could be changed at any time without warning.
• Unlisted rules
• It is impossible to foresee all infractions capable by players, keep in mind that while some things may not be listed here they could possibly be considered illegal. If you are in doubt whether you may be breaking a rule, feel free to speak to an admin or helper for clarification.
