Rules

## **INGAME RULES**

**~~1 -~~** ~~Bypassing the swear filter is forbidden; if you want to swear, delete profwords from your game directory. **(Screenshots required as proof)**~~

As of September 10, 2020 this rule has been rewoked.

However, **intentional toxic behaviour and abusive language is still a bannable offence.**

**1 -** NSFW content on cars, names, mottos, or chat is forbidden. **(Screenshots required as proof)**

**1b -** Swears on cars, names, or mottos are forbidden **(Screenshots required as proof)**

~~**2 -** Hacking is forbidden, this includes using mods from another server. **(Screenshots required as proof of impossible time, screenshots of top speed are not accepted, video required as proof if time is possible; performance and skillmod parts must be visible in both cases)**~~

As of October 20, 2020, this rule has become redundant. The new rule is as follows;

**2 - Modding or hacking to gain an advantage in events is forbidden.**

This means that players will **no longer get banned for accidentally leaving drift mod on in a multiplayer race.**

However using drift mod so as to gain an **unfair advantage** over others in multiplayer races is a bannable offence.

~~**2b -** Exceptions: camera hacks can be used anywhere, granted you don't finish a race; motion hacks can be used in freeroam or meeting places. You must restart the game before doing events in either case.~~

**2b -** You may use any mod or hack in freeroam. **YOU MUST RESTART THE GAME BEFORE ENTERING EVENTS OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE FLAGGED.**

**2c -** Using powerups where they are not meant to be used is forbidden.

To clarify: Rule 2c states that you cannot use powerups outside of their intended gamemodes. For example, using Slingshot in freeroam is not allowed, as it is intended for races. As another example, the Ghost powerup cannot be used in freeroam, pursuits or TEs.

3 **-** Ramming is allowed. However, rammers must always make positive progress towards finishing the race. **(Video required as proof)**

**3b -** Waiting at the finish line for other players to finish before you is allowed.
