Please note that every scenario is different and unique. While you will typically receive a punishment for breaking a rule as written here, it is ultimately up to the moderator’s discretion to determine the appropriate punishment based on context, history and severity.
VindexCraft is a very unique place and some scenarios for rules may not be listed here but have been clarified by the Administrator+ before. If you are confused about any rule or think a rule is missing, please let us know.
Any rule updates will be announced in the VindexCraft discord:

Judges may report players to Staff if they fail to comply with a court order within the designated time frame. It will be the responsibility of the Staff Member to determine whether the court order is abusive or excessive and whether the player can reasonably comply with it. If a player cannot physically fulfill a court order, it is the Judge's responsibility to negotiate an order that can be fulfilled.
Judges have the authority to determine whether comments made are in character or not. If you believe a Judge has made an abusive decision, please contact a Staff Member.
To add onto this, direct messages cannot be used as evidence.
During criminal courts, the maximum fine amount is 5% of the defendant’s entire balance of that account, not exceeding $50,000. Trying to loophole this system by deceiving the courts and/or staff team about the true amount of your balance will be considered loopholing.

Warnable Offences
Rule (2.1) - Exploiting Bugs
Intentionally exploiting and failing to report to staff any major bugs and glitches whether you’re utilizing them for your advantage or not will lead to a permanent ban.
Please note this rule can range from a warning to an instant ban. This depends on the severity, intention and execution of the exploit. This is up to the staff team to decide on the punishment.
Rule (2.2) - Use Of Offensive Language (In-game + Discord Chat & VC)
It is strictly prohibited to use socially offensive language. Accordingly, language use that is deemed impolite, rude, indecent, or culturally offensive; It can show a debasement of someone or something, or be considered an expression of strong and negative feeling towards something.
It must also be noted that any words that are not a direct spelling of offensive language but have a clear connotation, will also be considered punishable.
The word “r*tard” is also considered socially offensive language and will contribute to this rule.
Additionally, mocking religion and/or minorities will fall under this rule and will have you punished accordingly
[!] This rule varies from a warning to ban depending on the context and severity. Slurs of any kind will result in an instant temp ban.
Rule (2.3) - Chat Rules

If the spamming is to an extreme level or the message being spammed violates other rules you have the possibility of being banned.
Inappropriate callsigns within the 911b plugin will be counted as a chat offense, depending on the severity this can raise to a ban. This includes actual offensive language, not joke callsigns. That is up to the Police Chief to enforce.
Heated arguments should be avoided in global at all costs. If an argument gets out of hand and either or both parties continue to engage in global punishments may be issued.
Rule (2.4) - Inappropriate Skins Or Usernames

Avoid having skins or usernames that will offend other players.
Inappropriate usernames will conventionally involve a ban until the account name is changed while you are still able to play on alternative accounts that don’t transgress the rules. Intentionally changing your username to resemble another player is inappropriate and will lead to the same penalization.
This will usually be a warning and then a ban until the skin is changed.
Any username or skin which may represent controversial politics or spark conversations of such shall be deemed a violation under this rule.
Rule (2.5) - Suicide For NLR
Killing yourself for the purpose of having a “new life” will result in a warning.
Everything from your previous life will still be in effect, including your wanted status.
If law enforcement believe a criminal has suicided for NLR, law enforcement are not permitted to take it upon themselves to arrest at spawn or enforce NLR. Any suspicion you have must be reported to staff with any proof.
Rule (2.6) - Misuse And Abuse Of Radio

Failing to express fear within roleplay is also counted as fail rp.
Rule (2.8.1) - Fail Roleplay: Law Enforcement
As law enforcement; frisking, searching or detaining individuals without proper reasoning or RP will be considered fail rp.
Additionally, law enforcement cannot force someone to send a picture of their inventory or ender chests.

Rule (2.8.2) - Fail Roleplay: Criminal Behaviour
Cop baiting is defined as the intentional use of actions, words, phrases and/or connotations to falsely provoke a law enforcement response for the purpose of entering combat against them and not the intention to roleplay. This is considered fail rp.
Moderators+ can check your ender chest if asked to, immediately comply with a moderator's order to hand over those items to law enforcement if searched including your inventory.
Kidnapping players, causing sickness, causing injury or other harm in safezones such as spawn is prohibited.
Rule (2.9) - Loopholing

Any inappropriate behavior or use of word(s), phrases or connotations that a staff member considers abnormal and unacceptable will be considered perversion and is not tolerated in any chat and could result in a warning or a ban.
Rule (2.11) - Random Death Match
WARNING: NOT ALL SCENARIOS ARE NOTED HERE AS THIS IS A MAJOR RULE WITH A LOT OF UNIQUE SCENARIOS. THIS MAY CHANGE AND/OR NEW SCENARIOS MAY APPEAR.
All of the following clauses require roleplay integrated within them unless stated otherwise.
Clause (1) - Trespassing
If you find a person trespassing on your property, you must warn them 3 times to leave and make it clear that you will open fire on them if they refuse. Spamming your warnings very quickly and then shooting will be considered loopholing. Trespassing on secure Government Installations such as military bases or the Whitehouse warrant lethal action immediately with no warning.
Clause (2) - Mugging
The maximum you can mug depends on the job your victim is holding.
You can mug a regular civilian (including all foreign jobs) for $1,000. You can mug a Government Employee or Official for $2,000 You can mug a member of Cabinet for $3,000 You can mug the President for $5,000
A player is put on a cooldown for 15 minutes (default) when they are /mug'd. Loopholing this by manually mugging them will be RDM
Clause (3) - Bank Robbery
You may not kill the law enforcement prematurely if they are on the bank street, they must be inside of the bank and you must announce within RP that you are robbing the bank before killing.
You can only proceed with the bank robbery when there’s 30 seconds before the bank can be robbed and at least 2 members of law enforcement are online of the country you are committing the crime in.
This specifically means Guard Captain, Prison Guards, do not count towards this rule and are not allowed to participate in bank robberies. Their jurisdiction is around and inside prison ONLY. Police Pilots and Dispatchers also do not count.
Clause (4) - Revenge Kill
If you are arrested by a police officer you have the right to revenge kill (This does not include custody or questioning). This must follow strict NLR; you cannot kill them if you or they have died. Tagged criminal organizations have the right to revenge kill if one of their colleagues has been killed by someone. You cannot kill someone who killed your friend, unless they start attacking you, please report it to the police or do nothing.
To avoid RDM, you must announce you are revenge killing. This warning must be within earshot of the victim too.
Clause (5) - Mobsters And Gangsters
Mobsters and Gangsters are allowed to murder each other. However, a warning must be put before a kill. (i.e die gangster die). No warning is required when fighting in the Southside or Downtown.
Clause (6) - Vigilantism
Anyone who is not a criminal (Pirate, Gangster, Rebel, Mobster, Hobo) may vig a violent crime (such as murder and shooting). The following scenarios cannot be vigged by anyone:
Bank Robberies Kidnapping Mobsters vs Gangsters rivalry in Southside and Downtown Attacks or invasions

Additionally, committing vigilantism against players who are actively committing arson is allowed.
Clause (7) - RDM In Wild
If you are in the wild you can be killed without reason. Taking someone into the wild zone to kill them is a loophole and will be considered RDM.

You can hold a Member of the Cabinet hostage for a ransom of up to $7,000. You can hold the President hostage for a ransom of up to $15,000.
It will be considered RDM to kill the Hostage if the ransom is paid.
In order to take a hostage at least 2 members of law enforcement of the country you are committing the crime in (not including Guard Captain, Prison Guard) must be online and the player but be actively aware they are being taken hostage (Not AFK).
Upon taking a hostage you must use /radio to state the location of the hostage and the amount required for their release.
You are allowed to kill law enforcement if they enter the property and attempt to rescue the hostage.
No matter the amount of kidnappers, hostages may choose one kidnapper to roll against. If the hostage wins the roll they are allowed to successfully run away from the hostage situation, where as if they lose they may continue to be taken hostage. This can only be done once.
A hostage situation may not last more than 10 minutes after arrival at the final destination. Prolonged driving to loophole this rule is prohibited. For rule purposes this includes when the government takes someone into custody. If a crime was committed the government may arrest someone after holding them in custody.

Clause (10) - Criminal War

This war goes on until one side withdraws. If either side is killed after one side has withdrawn, it will become RDM.
Clause (11) - Assassinations and Bounties
Assassinations are not a valid reason to kill someone unless they have a bounty on them set by the bounty plugin (/bounties). Loopholing the bounty plugin by having a player set a bounty so you can claim it immediately will be RDM.
Loopholing the bounty plugin by having your alt claim your own bounty is also against the rules.
Clause (12) - Attacks and Invasions
During an attack or invasion on a government building, any kill on people not participating will be deemed RDM. Additionally, if non-participating viewers are found at the location and are killed, it will be deemed crossfire.
Only tagged criminal organizations may attack a Government installation. However, they must have the online leader to give permission. (The leader does not have to participate)
Attacks do not require the other side's consent and can last up to 30 minutes or until the attackers surrender.
No tasers are allowed to be used during an attack and no arrests or handcuffing can be made to take someone into custody. If a criminal has not died during the entire time the attack was going on, they may be placed on the wanted list once the attack concludes.
Defense side must have at least 2 members online (See below to see the main defense for each building) (This does not include any departments that are permitted to help)

Rule (4.3) - Bill Fairness
When a bill is proposed, it is against the rules to make a law that says it is for one purpose but, in reality, is made for ulterior reasons.
For example, if a law is proposed where the text states it is attempting to pass a change in gun laws, but the actual action of the bill is to repeal an Animal Welfare Act, that is not allowed, you must expressly state the purpose is to repeal said law, and then have the action of the bill reflect that.
Statute of Limitations
Whilst we have rule statutes of limitations, please do not hold onto evidence. Instead, please report as soon as you can.
These are the general statute of limitations for rules and while they will generally be followed, some cases can become an exception. This is up to the moderator to accept evidence or not.
For small to medium severity rule breaks such as RDM, chat rules, exploiting etc, evidence must be provided to a moderator within a week before it becomes void.
For more serious rule breaks such as harassment, the evidence will become void within 3 weeks.
