Rules
1) No insulting, harassing, griefing, flaming or generally abusive behaviour.
This includes using weapons, killing players, using abusive language, etc.
Breaking rule 1 will be met with an immediate temporary ban.
2) Don't troll, interrupt or inconvenience people
For example, don't have a full-blown conversation in chat during a race or testing, don't start testing on the same track someone's already on without permission, etc.
In general, leave people alone.
3) Don't use third-party menus
We have server-side menus for car spawning and customization.
4) Read channel topics to avoid going off-topic
Repeat offenders will be “Black-Flagged,” blocking you from posting in most channels.
5) Don't tag staff or admins
We read the chats and will respond to things as necessary when we have the time.
NOTE: The quote feature tags the original author automatically, so be careful using it.
6) Report poor conduct on the server with !report in #charlie
Don't argue in the chat or on Discord. File a report by typing !report in #charlie. This will create a private channel where you can discuss the report with the server administrators.
7) This is a CLEAN racing server.
If you take someone out, intentionally or not, wait for them to get back ahead of you before continuing.
More specific racing rules in #racing-etiquette.
8) Don’t spoil sporting events, real-life races, movies, etc.
9) No offensive or incomprehensible names
If you're using a racist, homophobic, etc. name you will be either asked to change it or straight up banned.
Also use a name that consists of the Latin alphabet. If your name is shorter than 3 or longer than 15 consecutive characters and/or doesn't have at least 3 letters in a row, you will be assigned a randomised name on the server.
Example: Ben is fine, Be or B3N are not. Benjamin The Legend is fine, while BenjaminTheLegend is not.
10) Study and learn #racing-etiquette

11) Attempting to evade a ban will result in an instant permanent ban
Creating a secondary account or playing on another account in order to bypass a ban on the primary account is called "ban evasion", and it will be met with a permanent, irreversible ban from all Homecoming servers and Discord. This is your only warning.
12) No glitching
As Homecoming is in a constant state of development, you may encounter glitches of various types. Now this should go without saying, but you are not to exploit any glitches, regardless of how harmless they may seem. Depending on the case and severity of the exploit, the punishment for glitching can range anywhere between an instant bin to a permanent ban.
Racing mechanics such as brakeboosting, kerb boosting, and MDSB are not considered glitches/bugs, regardless of how you feel about them :)
13) Don't go AFK for extended periods of time
If you need to go AFK, consider leaving the server so that someone else waiting to join gets a chance to race as well.
Skipping one race is generally fine, but don't be surprised if you find yourself kicked anyway. All server kicks come with a 1-hour time out, so it's always better to duck out of your own accord than getting kicked.
Anything not explicitly stated in these rules falls under the judgement of the staff, who will decide on the appropriate course of action on a case-by-case basis. When reporting incidents where rules were broken, please do your best to provide evidence in the form of screenshots or video, so that we are able to make a more informed decision.
P.S. Relating to rule 1, if someone Discord is harassing you in DMs and is creating alternate accounts to bypass getting blocked, etc. let us know. You might also want to consider reporting them to Discord. Instructions at https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000291932-How-to-Properly-Report-Issues-to-Trust-Safety
