The Rulebook

These are the rules every player on MapleSMP follows. Staff enforce them the same way for everyone.

Respect and inclusivity#

• No harassment or discrimination. Bullying, hate speech and discriminatory language aren't allowed. This includes racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise discriminatory language, which is strictly prohibited.
• Keep content appropriate. Don't share NSFW, graphic or otherwise inappropriate content.
• Keep chat friendly. Treat everyone with kindness and respect. Healthy discussion is encouraged. Hostility isn't.
• No impersonation. Don't pretend to be staff, content creators or other community members. Misleading usernames, nicknames or profiles may be removed.
• Follow staff instructions. Staff are here to keep the community safe and enjoyable. Arguing with moderation actions in public channels isn't allowed. If you have concerns, open a ticket: at https://appeal.maplesmp.fun, with /ticket in game, or as a ticket on Discord.

Fair play#

• Play fair. Hacks, cheats, X-ray, exploits, duping, autoclickers and modified clients that give an unfair advantage aren't allowed. Report bugs and exploits to staff instead of abusing them.
• Prevent lag. Don't build lag machines or deliberately cause server performance issues. Keep large farms optimised where possible.
• Don't steal. Taking items from another player's chests, storage systems, farms or bases without permission is prohibited. Respect all player-owned property.
• Don't grief. Don't destroy, alter or damage another player's builds without permission. If accidental damage happens, repair it straight away or contact the owner.

PvP and player conduct#

• Consensual PvP. PvP must be consensual unless a specific event or game mode says otherwise. Spawn killing and targeted harassment through PvP aren't allowed.
• No PvP bypassing. Using lava, TNT or similar while someone's PvP is toggled off isn't tolerated. PvP is toggled with /pvptoggle.

Building and shared spaces#

• Give people room. Don't build too close to another player's base without permission. Don't obstruct pathways, farms or community areas.
• Community areas are for everyone. Community farms, shops and public builds are for everyone to enjoy. Follow posted rules, and pay the correct price when using player-run shops.

Communication and channels#

• No spamming. Avoid excessive messages, emoji spam, repeated text and disruptive behaviour. Don't flood channels or abuse ping systems.
• No advertising. Advertising servers, social media, products, services or content needs staff approval from someone on the Media Program. Unsolicited direct message advertising is prohibited.
• Use channels correctly. Keep discussions relevant to their designated channels. Move off-topic conversations to the right place when one exists.
• Protect privacy. Don't share personal information about yourself or others. Doxxing, leaking private conversations and sharing sensitive information are strictly forbidden.
