[*]Premature kills from clear but damage-less hostile intent will be allowed when 100% irrefutable video proof of the incoming hostile intent is provided. Video content will be judged by moderators. If the intent is not 100%, the kill will be concluded as RDM. [*]Raids can only be completed after advertising it using /advert (example "/advert raid") [*]Hits can only be completed if advertised (example "/advert hit accepted) [*]All other cases require a 10s+ second warning including a clear set of instructions delivered through typed chat (Local, Yell, or Whisper) and the 10s+ time for validity. [*] It is the full responsibility of the warning originator to ensure all intended targets are aware of the warning outside the vicinity of their base raid zone if/only if they ask in chat. [*]Anyone cannot just kill anyone simply because they see the warning in their chat, ask if you are unsure. [*]You can grant custom "everyone" warnings on your own leisure, bypassing the public aspect to the rule above, but with an obvious risk [*]As for the base raid zone, if you choose to specify targets in your raid zone before warning, others not specified cannot kill you. If you choose not to specify your targets, everyone receiving the warning in your raid zone can kill you. [*]If the target has completed the instructions in full, you may not kill them.  [*]The consequence does not have to be detailed, all valid warnings are automatically a threat excluding 10 seconds demote warnings.

Demotions Demotions are only for people who fail to satisfy the objectives of certain jobs or Cops display corrupt behaviour. The appropriate reason must be included when demoting. Unique scenarios for demotion may be provided in the class rules below. If a staff member is online, do not demote for server rule violations. Common scenarios for demotion include: [list] [*]Government Classes: [list] [*]Violating custom laws. However, they can be immune to laws and hierarchy whenever they may prohibit them from performing their duties.

[*]Police may AOS anyone carrying a hostage or Printer Shipment [/list] Raids / Warrants [list] [*]Police cannot raid (attacking) with attacking criminals. This is a situational rule handled based on behaviour and whether or not that behaviour is a severe enough benefit to the success of an attacking raid. Your "corruption" beyond the very first obstacle instead becomes your main risk. Some actions that may or may not violate this rule are as follows: [*]Choosing to ignore arrestable attackers within the raid zone. If you wish to be corrupt and ignore a raid setting on the outside, it would be wise to ignore it completely by not participating at all OR waiting until the raid has finished acting. Pretending to be corrupt and then immediately cancelling that choice when defenders/enemy counter attackers arise is highly suspicious.  [*]Choosing to focus and blatantly prioritize arrestable defenders when arrestable attackers were in a better/easier arrest opportunity [*]Police may do warrant-able base checks of wanted individuals whose name explicitly appears on the door, via /go ownership, or that run behind prop barricades in bases [*]Police may fully sweep bases they find themselves needing to warrant into. [*]Do not grief players props (destroying props you know will bring you 0 value) [*]Police may not return to raid zones they died in until the raid is over and exclude PD. [/list] Misc. [list] [*]Police may not plant evidence or ask others to do so to incriminate based off any findings [*]Police (and Citizens) may only build checkpoints if authorized by the Mayor command, not law.
