DarkRP Server Rules
DarkRP Server Rules
29-12-2025, 09:27 PM
Outline
These rules apply to our DarkRP server, and are enforced by the Partum Verse Networks staff team. The staff team reserve the right to interpret these rules in all situations, at any time. Common sense applies to these rules, and therefore, trying to find loopholes within them is not allowed, and can result in a punishment being applied. We want everyone to enjoy their time on the server, and so these rules are in place to ensure that happens.
It is almost impossible to outline a rule for every single scenario, and so, as scenarios occur, these rules will be updated, and staff will always have the final say in a situation.
It is recommended that in order to ensure your side of any situation can be shown, you have some sort of recording or clipping software. Staff can only base their judgement off of the evidence they are provided and so in order to report a rule break, there is an expectation that you will be able to provide evidence that demonstrates a rule break has occurred.
This server has no "downtime", and so these rules are enforced 24/7, if a rule break occurs when staff are not present, you are able to report this on the forums.
