Community guidelines
Server Rules
Parallax is a community of thousands of players. These rules keep things fair, fun and dramatic — in the good way. By connecting to our server you agree to follow them.
General conduct
- Treat every player with respect. Banter is fine; harassment is not.
- No discriminatory language of any kind. Zero tolerance.
- Do not impersonate staff or other players.
- English in main chat, please. Other languages welcome in DMs.
- Spamming chat, voice or props will result in an instant mute or kick.
Cheating & exploits
- No cheats, scripts, macros or third-party software. Permanent ban.
- Found a bug or exploit? Report it on Discord — we reward responsible disclosures.
- Account sharing is not permitted. Your Steam, your responsibility.
- VPN use is allowed; ban evasion is not.
Roleplay rules
- RDM (Random Death Match) without a valid roleplay reason is forbidden.
- NLR (New Life Rule) is active for 3 minutes after death — forget what happened.
- Mug limits: maximum £5,000 cash, 30-minute cooldown per victim.
- Raids must be advert'd. Counter-raids must be initiated within 10 minutes.
- Cops cannot raid without a valid warrant or probable cause.
- Base building must be fair: at least one entrance, no crouch tunnels, no invisible props.
Property & PvP
- Building zones (signalled with a sign) are PvP-disabled.
- Do not destroy player property unless you are actively raiding.
- Printers must be in your base. Hidden printers off your property may be removed by staff.
- Hits placed by hitmen are valid PvP — being shot doesn't always require a verbal warning.
Voice & advert
- Advert is for roleplay use only (raids, warns, mugs). Not for OOC chatter.
- Voice chat must be civil. Soundboards and earrape are not allowed.
- Recording staff conversations without consent is prohibited.
Appeals & reports
- Open a ticket on Discord to report a player or appeal a punishment.
- Provide clear evidence: screenshots, clips or demos. The more, the better.
- Be honest in your appeal. Lying to staff is grounds for an extended ban.
- Decisions by Senior Staff and above are final.
Final word: Staff have final say on edge cases. If something feels wrong but isn't explicitly covered here, we'll still act on it. Use common sense — and when in doubt, ask.
