The following document represent guidelines to follow for punishments issued on our Rust servers. These guidelines are not absolute and are not required to be followed explicitly. A punishment can be lesser or higher in degree depending on various circumstances and elements to the offense. Below you will find a table laying out different rule violations with their relative punishment based upon the number of times a user has broken said offense. There are some rules that are suffixed with an asterisk (*) to indicate additional procedures to be followed.
