The boring bit, made slightly less boring. Know what’s allowed, what’ll get you slapped, and what’ll get you launched directly into the sun.
M$NTED is built around freedom. That does not mean “do absolutely anything and blame desync.”
We’re not interested in a 94-page legal document where Rule 7.4(c)(ii) explains why you’re not allowed to ram somebody with a forklift. Most of this is common sense.
Play properly. Don’t cheat. Don’t deliberately ruin the server for other people. Don’t be a cunt to staff because they interrupted your master plan.
Easy.
No cheats, mod menus, injected software or external assistance giving you an unfair advantage.
If software is playing the game for you, showing you things you shouldn’t know, or allowing you to do things the game doesn’t normally allow — don’t use it.
Finding a bug is not against the rules. Abusing one absolutely can be.
If you accidentally duplicate something, break a system or discover some spectacular way of producing $40 million using three traffic cones and a Bus job: stop and report it.
Jobs, businesses, progression, crafting, vehicles, drugs, exploration and general degeneracy happen here.
Deliberately random killing, repeatedly targeting somebody or using normal-world systems purely to grief other players is not what this world is for.
You deliberately entered the place where people shoot one another.
Don’t enter PvP and then report somebody for doing PvP.
Drive however badly your insurance policy allows. Intentional griefing is different.
Arguments are allowed. Trash talk is allowed. Swearing is allowed. Disliking somebody is allowed.
What isn’t allowed is turning it into sustained targeted harassment.
Context matters, but some lines aren’t worth pretending are ambiguous.
Direct racial slurs, targeted hate speech and sustained discriminatory abuse can result in moderation. Dark humour, ordinary swearing and people insulting each other are not automatically treated as hate speech.
The difference is generally very obvious. Please don’t make staff conduct a forensic linguistic investigation into why you absolutely had to type what you typed.
Never share somebody else’s private information.
Staff can:
Staff are also subject to the rules.
If you genuinely think a staff member abused their position, report it with whatever evidence you have.
Do not spend the next three hours screaming “ADMIN ABUSE” in global chat like the entire server has personally conspired against you.
If something genuinely happened, report it properly. Repeating it another 47 times in chat does not make the evidence stronger.
If staff are investigating something, cooperate long enough for them to work out what happened.
Do not evade punishments using another account, identifier or person.
If you’re muted, you’re muted. If you’re suspended, you’re suspended. If you’re banned, you’re banned.
Creating MintedFan472_DefinitelyNotTheSamePerson is unlikely to fool anyone.
Where normal gameplay systems allow negotiation, risk or betrayal, somebody getting the better end of a deal is not automatically rule-breaking.
Don’t try to kill the server.
Real-world trading is forbidden.
Do not buy, sell or exchange M$NTED money, vehicles, items, accounts, progression or other in-game assets privately for anything with real-world value.
“But we agreed to it privately” does not magically make it allowed.
Official purchases provided directly through M$NTED, such as supported Tebex products, are separate from player-to-player real-world trading.
If you’ve discovered something obviously harmful that isn’t specifically written above, “it wasn’t technically listed in the rules” is not immunity.
Rules cannot predict every creative form of stupidity humanity will eventually develop.
Staff can intervene where behaviour is clearly exploitative, malicious or severely disruptive, even if somebody has discovered a novel way of doing it.
This is not permission for staff to invent rules because they personally dislike something. Decisions still need a legitimate server or community reason.
Severity, intent, previous warnings and whether you immediately cooperated can all matter.
Some offences — particularly serious cheating, doxxing, malicious attacks or extreme abuse — can skip the queue entirely.
M$NTED is intentionally less restrictive than servers that try to moderate every conversation, driving mistake and mildly questionable decision.
Have fun. Talk shit. Race things you shouldn’t race. Lose money. Make terrible business decisions.
Just don’t cheat, exploit the server, deliberately ruin somebody else’s experience or turn being a dickhead into a full-time occupation.
