SECTION 7: EXTERNAL BEHAVIOR CONDUCT
Behavior outside the in-character world (Discord, Twitch, social media, or other platforms) directly impacts the integrity of ImpulseRP. Out-of-city actions that harm the server, exploit systems, or disrupt immersion will be treated with the same severity as in-game violations.
7.01 – ADVERTISING & POACHING
Tier 7 Violation (Permanent Ban, Non-Appealable) Promoting or advertising other roleplay servers, communities, or unrelated groups — either in-game, Discord, or affiliated platforms — is strictly prohibited. This includes:
Sending invites or links to competing servers
Attempting to recruit players away from ImpulseRP
Embedding promotions within roleplay interactions
This behavior constitutes community poaching and results in permanent removal from ImpulseRP and affiliated projects.
7.02 – REAL-WORLD TRADING (RWT)
Tier 7 Violation (Permanent Ban, Non-Appealable) Exchanging in-game assets (money, weapons, vehicles, properties) for real-world currency or items, and vice versa, is forbidden. Examples:
Selling in-game cash for PayPal or crypto
Trading firearms for gift cards or services
Buying businesses or properties for out-of-game payments
This is considered exploitation and fraud — any accounts involved will be permanently banned.
7.03 – RETALIATORY REPORTING
Tier 4 Violation Reporting another player solely to retaliate for previous interactions (IC or OOC) is prohibited. Example:
Sitting on old evidence of rule-breaking to weaponize it later.
Filing a ticket only after being reported yourself.
All reports must be filed in good faith and without malicious intent.
7.04 – REPORTING WINDOW
Tier 3 Violation Players have 48 hours from the time of an incident to submit a report. Filing beyond this period will be considered revenge reporting and is not permitted. Prompt reporting ensures fairness and accurate staff review.
7.05 – METAGAMING
Tier 4 Violation Using information obtained outside of in-character means (Discord calls, Twitch streams, OOC chats) to gain an advantage in-game is strictly forbidden. Examples:
Stream-sniping or using live streams to locate players.
Coordinating through private Discord calls instead of in-game radios.
Acting on knowledge your character could not reasonably have.
Metagaming breaks immersion and undermines fair roleplay — violations are punished severely.
