Vanity Network's official server rules
Breaking any of the rules below will result in a punishment, including a warning, kick, permanent ban or a temporary ban.
Vanity Network reserves the right to exclude you from the main server, discord, forums and tebex store at any time if we don't believe you're here for good intention.
To report a player for a broken rule, you will need to create a ticket in our discord 'Discord.gg/VanityNetwork' no more than 24 hours after the incident took place. We go by a 'no clip, no sit' rule, which means you MUST provide a clip for action to be taken. Please provide the following when reporting:
1) A clip of the incident
2) The players ID if possible (Press your U key in game to get this)
3) There MUST be sound in the clip you provide
4) The reason you're reporting the player/group
Any action from a staff member is final. Feel free to appeal your ban following the right format if you feel like your ban is incorrect. Messaging staff or talking about your ban in general chats will result in a ban from the platform you're using.
(General Server Policy)
You must have a working microphone with push to talk setup to take part in the server.
Names must be realistic and cannot be offensive
Any advertisement that is not Vanity related or approved within the city or the discord will result in a ban

Putting your vehicle in front of oncoming traffic at high speeds
Hitting a player slowly to knock them over is also considered VDM
6) Pitting
Pitting is allowed in the city, however it needs to be within reason and not at excessive speeds. No one should be pitting a vehicle above 100mph. You should also be aware of your surroundings when attempting to pit as well. (Pitting on top of a mountain is frowned upon).

8) Fail RP/Poor RP
Doing anything that is considered impossible/unrealistic within the server is considered FailRP. If you can't physically do a motion within the game via emotes, we ask that you /me it instead to increase the scene that you're in. Not roleplaying with NHS, PD or other players because you want to get the scene over with is also considered FailRP and will result in punishments. Using /me to tie people is also not allowed, we have handcuffs etc for a reason. A few other things that you shouldn't be doing are:
"/me puts knife to throat" while you're driving a vehicle (Other passengers in the vehicle are allowed to do this)
Pretending you're dead for something that wouldn't kill you to avoid being arrested
Telling the NHS your injuries aren't that bad to get out of the hospital quicker

11) Stage 1 & Stage 2
When you 'go down' in the city, there is two stages:
Stage 1 - You are on the floor bleeding from being injured and have a countdown of 5 minutes to get medical attention. During this time, you can still speak, call NHS or police and take in any information around you, however you must RP out your injuries to the best of your ability.
Stage 2 - Your screen will go dark and your countdown timer will be 10 minutes. This means you are completely dead. You should not be talking and no information should be taken in. You should not be receiving treatment under any circumstance, this includes dirty doctor. Anyone caught attempting to give you treatment will face punishments. You can respawn after the countdown timer has expired as long as the scene is clearly over. If police or NHS are with you before you go stage 2, it is at their discretion to get you revived while stage 2.

Radio:

- Only time this would be classed as Voice ID is if your character hasn't met the character you are speaking to on the radio and you or they recognise the voice from an OOC perspective.
- To mask your voice and remain unidentifiable, you must use a voice changer or change your voice by putting on a different voice / accent in attempt to mask yourself.
- Calling someone anonymously doesn't mask your voice, it masks your phone number.
- Same rules apply in terms of masking your voice as the radio section.
- Your character cannot recognise someone from their voice in any situation that will result in any negative way for them, this includes being arrested and being harmed or killed. You can Voice ID people if it's a general conversation and will result in no negatives for the other person.

37) Community Leaders
People that are of the following are considered community leaders; Police Command, NHS Command, LFB Command, and business owners including gang leaders. These players should be the leading source of quality story lines and consistently remaining as strong roleplayers. The community leaders are held to a higher standard under our rules. You may also become a community leader by ensuring you consistently creating high standard roleplay scenarios for yourself and others.
38) Spam
Spamming police dispatches and any other emergency dispatch is punishable by a warning up towards a ban at most depending on the severity of the spam. This also includes reports to government made in city.
39) Police Radar
Criminals should be fully aware that committing repeated crimes and pose a threat to both police and civilians will result in that criminal or group to be on the 'Police Radar' this allows the police service to do what is within their power to stop you from continuing in doing what is deemed as threatening and repeated offences. This is known as 'dangerous offenders' and 'severity assessment' - police have the ability to liaise with CPS & Judiciary to warrant raids, seizure of financial assets and other assets, extended sentencing, and so on. Although is it very rare, a life sentence is also possible.
Vanity Network reserves the right to amend rules at any point without notice. Make sure you are familiar with the rules before taking part in any RP at Vanity Network.
