CobaltCove Rules
We are proud to be running one of the friendliest Rust networks around.
This could not be possible without a handful of rules that we all make sure are being followed. None of these rules are optional, as they are there for a reason. Anyone arrogant enough to think that they are will soon find themselves banned from our network.
Take a moment to familiarise yourself with our rules to ensure everyone enjoys our servers to their full potential.
A general rule and questions.
While you read our rules down below. We request you to keep these questions below in mind.
“Would I like it if someone did this to me?”
“Would I do this if one of the staff team was floating above me and watching?”
Hopefully, the answer to both questions is ‘Yes’ However if you think the answer is no then you’re in breach of our rules. The rules down below do not cover every scenario. It’s down to you as the player on our network to remember those two questions above and ensure that you never do anything that would cause you upset if it happened to yourself and/or something you would not do in front of one of our staff members.
Be Respectful
Treat everyone with respect. Absolutely no harassment, witch hunting, sexism, racism, or hate speech will be tolerated. Also restrain from sparking and feeding arguments. If an incident emerges, immediately seek a member of staff to repress the situation, rather than trying to engage.
Do not share real media depicting gore, excessive violence, or animal harm, especially with the intention to harass or shock others.
English Only
While enjoying our network, we expect you to speak English in general/global chat. This also includes communication in our Discord and Forums. Feel free to use the PM system or Team/Clan chat if you wish to speak your own language.
Blocking Space
Do not wall off or block off in any way public quarries, or monuments. These are there for everyone’s use and enjoyment. Also please do not block off an area unless you intend to build on it. For example, TC’s along a whole river which stops other players from being able to set up their farms bases. Or walling off a whole island for no reason, no, wanting the island to yourself is not a reason.
You are more than welcome to build a base and put some signs up to show the area is still under construction and you would like to be able to build out more and place some quarries down. Our no griefing rule should cover you from having anyone building too close.
Abusing Bugs
Do not abuse an error in the setup. This includes but is not limited to: using or abusing a design flaw, configuration error, game or plugin bug to achieve a personal gain in a way that was not clearly not intended during your gameplay.
Griefing
Griefing anyone is a permanent ban offence. This includes, but is not limited to:
o Taking over and/or modifying another players base.
o Trapping someone in your base. This includes the use of trap bases.
o Using the attack helicopter to attack another player or their base.
o Building right next to someone and preventing them from expanding their bases.
Whether or not it’s intentional, you do not need to build really close to someone else. To summarise, do not do anything that may hinder another player’s experience on our servers.
Impersonating Staff
Do not impersonate any Owner, Admin, or Staff Member. This is a permanent ban offense.
Airdrops
Please don’t throw more than 5 airdrops at a time. These cause lag for some players.
Stealing Loot
If you did not earn the loot, then DO NOT take it. This applies but is not limited to the Attack Helicopter or Bradley APC loot. This rule also extends out to stealing from other players.
