- No duping of any kind.

- The use of CF Tools is not allowed. Caught doing so will result in a ban.

- No Playing on an alt account. This will result in a ban on both accounts.

- No logging in and out within toxic zone for the purposes of farming them with their respawn times.

- No combat Logging. You must wait 15minutes from the last combat engagement or be in the safe zone before logging out. (will result in a player wipe)

- No exploiting or glitching in-game mechanics. We do not consider the use of Nvidia filter to be exploits or glitching. HOWEVER we do consider the removal of grass, trees and things of similar nature to be exploiting the game and will hand out a PERMANENT ban for use of such programs.

- No advertising streams, DayZ servers (Aside from Black Ashes) or Discords in main-chat.

- No calling out Player/Raid/Base/Firefight & where you died in a past life locations out in any public channels.

- No impersonating staff, players or groups. (this does not include wearing group clothing. Only the verbal/written impersonation of the those players, groups or staff. Or the changing of ones name to match another player or staff member)

- No racism/sexism/homophobic/server slander of any sorts. Trash talk is okay, but if asked to stop by a staff member the players must immediately do so. Extreme Toxicity, as judged by staff, will also result in action taken against said player.

- Do not accuse players of cheating/glitching/duping etc. in main-chat. Bring all incidents to support-ticket to be dealt with (Don't alert the player to your suspicion.) The same applies to Admin Abuse accusations, please bring it to a ticket.

- Any threats of doxing, ddosing, harm to the server, harm to another player IRL, or anything of similar to such will not be permitted. You will receive an immediate permanent ban, regardless of whether you were “joking” or even proceeded with such a threat.

- Our territory system has built in no Build Zones. That means if it allows you to build, you are not in a no build zone. If you cant build, you are in a no Build Zone

- There is a maximum of 1 territory per group.

- No base can be regarded as "un-raidable". There must be a way for someone on the outside to get inside.

- Using the storage of any kind to block loot or block parts of your base can result in base deletion without warning.

- Building to block off ANY block off any military zones maliciously could result in a permanent ban for a first time offense.

- There is no door or wall stacking. Inside the area of 1 Floor/Roof you may have a MAXIMUM of 3 doors: 1 on each end and 1 between.

- Building on any major road, whether pavement or dirt. Dead end roads going nowhere are permitted, but please make a ticket to double check first.

You may not use excessive storage container as a form of base defense as they're sole purpose. All storage must be used for its intended purpose as defined by the definition of the word storage.

- You may have a maximum of 10 code locked doors/entrances in your base. This counts: gates, doors, hatches, but does not include safes. Windows may NOT be code locked. Max base size you can have is a 4x4x3.

- If a base has been left with 0 Code locks or a flag for more than 24 hours it is considered abandoned and another player may take over your base. Please make a ticket to double check the base is abandoned before moving in.

- Your base must architecturally make sense. This includes putting floor tiles over ladders to force players to glitch through the floor to raid your base. If it doesn't make sense, or wouldn't realistically work in real life, don't do it.

- You may not stack a car tent inside another car tent but you may stack 1 smaller tent inside of that or have safes inside of a large tent but you may not stack the same size tents/storage inside one another, Make it look like it makes sense.

- Blind animation locks are not allowed. This means that any animations locks (i.e Vault point) must still give the raider the ability to shoot defenders before doing the animation lock activity. I.E a vault in a codelock tunnel where the raider can see ahead before jumping is okay, but a vault around a corner that the raider cannot see its not okay. A vault, and then an immediate crouch section would be considered a blind vault as well.

- You may NOT build during an ongoing raid. A raid is started when the first Charge is set, and you are not permitted to rebuild until 30mins has passed since the last charge was set and you have regained full control of your base. This timer resets every time a raider is able to make it back into your base. It is your responsibility to fully clear your base, and ensure you have control over the front entrance of your base for the full 30 minutes.

You may not use excessive storage container as a form of base defense as they're sole purpose. All storage must be used for its intended purpose as defined by the definition of the word storage.

To be classified as a "Base" you must secure your base by both placing a flag, and securing the flag with a code locked entrance of some sort. If this is not done, it is not considered a base and is NOT protected by base takeover rules.

Barbed Wire is allowed, however there must be shoulder width room apart between to parallel pieces of barb wire, or between barbed wire and a wall. I.E a raider must be able to walk down a tunnel of barb wire, and if he so does carefully in a straight line not get any cuts.

Barbwire placed in areas that are not the direct route into your base are allowed without restriction. I.E you may place barbed wire at a fake entrance to the base that will kill players. But you cannot have your main entrance to your base fully barb wired without a shoulders width path of no barb wire.

Tunnels must allow a player to fully turn aim in any direction using an average AR (M4 will be used by admins to test flagged tunnels.) That does NOT mean you need to be able to aim in a full 360 from one position (i.e its fine to need to be tight against one wall or the next to aim at the parallel wall.) A properly snapped tunnel to the ends of a small door, with outside of walls facing in towards raider section allows for this. All peaks must allow the raider to see the defenders while NOT ADS'd, and give the ability to shoot back. However, that does NOT mean the raider needs to be able to see what he is shooting at when ADS (example A, toe peeks must allow player to see defender when not ADS'd, but when ADSing the zoom in effect stops player from being able to see defender but still is able to raise the gun. This is LEGAL.) That does not mean the raider needs to be safe from being shot until he can see the defender. I.E defender can shoot a players feet/head before the raider can see them, as long as the defender can get to a spot where he can see them without the use of raid tools. Example being toe peeks and needing to go prone before seeing defender. Crouch tunnels are not allowed. You may have crouch points, but there must be room for one body bag between a raidable entrance and the crouch point.

- Vehicles can be stolen from bases.

- You MAY NOT call for assistance if you are being raided.

- You MAY NOT once capturing their territory dismantle all the walls to get rid of the base.

- You MAY NOT raid a base from a team you have been in as this would give you an unfair advantage.

- You MAY NOT Popcorn (despawn) their loot is also illegal. If you want to take storage you must try and find a place to put it. ( This is considered griefing )

- You MAY NOT log in and out in order to better see around bases built inside of buildings our territory system will teleport anyone away that logs in and is not part of the territory

- You MAY NOT glitch through any physical part of another player's base. If you need to glitch through a wall to gain entry to a base, it is illegal. You may enter a base through a window, but not through any physical wall.

- It is STRONGLY recommended you record all raids. If something seems off about a raid, the burden of proof to provide evidence of a legal raid is on the RAIDING party. If you cannot provide video evidence of a legal raid, it will be up to the Admin's interpretation of what happened to deem if a raid was legal or not.

- Only the following can be used to boost during a raid. Player stacking cannot exceed (2) total players while standing on the ground. Vehicles can be used to boost over a wall, do not place anything on the vehicle or stack players while on the vehicle (vehicles used to boost must be stationary).

- No base griefing. Griefing includes but is not limited to: Logging out in another players base, Putting locks on another players base, Despawning loot if you are not taking the method of storage, Excessive dismantling of structures without reason (you may be subject to inquiry). Dismantling a flag from the top sticking out. (Although not always possible, sometimes glitchy. You MUST dismantle from the base of the flag).

- The max ONLINE group limit on is 6 members.

- No allies allowed. You may not work together with another team to loot, raid, or defend. No handshake no shoot agreements.

- Each group may only have a max of 4 vehicles subject for deletion. This means you may not have more then 4 vehicles within your territory.

- You may NOT rotate members during active PVP. If a player logs out during active PVP, you must wait 15 minutes from the players logout before a new player may login and join the fight. If PVP ends before this, new player may immediately login. If this rule is broken, the NEW player will be handed a temporary 1 hour ban. Groups repeatedly breaking this rule may find themselves with harsher punishments.

- Vehicles are use at your own risk.

- Lying in a ticket will result in an immediate perm ban, that is non appealable.

- Any attempt to circumvent a ban will increase the ban length or result in a permanent ban.

- All ban lengths are decided ahead of time based off of the situation, ban length's cannot be changed.

- Attitude or disrespect in a ticket will result in immediate closure of the ticket, and no additional aid given.

- We do not compensate or help with vehicles. They are drive at your own risk. And water kills vehicles. If you fall under the map you may make a ticket for help, but we will be very critical of compensation claims

- Any verbal or textual willingness to conduct RMT on Black Ashes will result in a swift and permanent ban for both parties. You may NOT sell items/bases/place bounties or pay people for ANYTHING with real life currency.

- Any items missing do to a server restart, or mod update will NOT be compensated. 5 minutes from restart, or as soon as you see the red text from a mod update, STOP what you are doing. Do not drive, do not move things in your inventory, do not drop things, do not place them in storage. They often will disappear and this will NOT be compensated under ANY circumstances.

- Rules are interpreted and defined by the admins. If you have a question about a specific rule please ask it. Otherwise rulings will be made based on admin interpretation of the rules above. If you believe an admin is abusing their power these issues are brought to Discord only with the "Staff Inquiry" form in support- creating a private ticket with only the Lead Admin and Operator to review.

- Video Proof is a must for any compensation claims. Make sure to have some form of clipping software installed, and set it to clip 10 minutes just in case. Tickets without video proof will be denied. Video MUST be uploaded to a form of streaming service, and we will not allow Screen Share.

- Hacking Tickets should be accompanied by video clip of the situation and as much detail as possible to best help aid an investigation. Tickets saying ""X" is hacking"" does not help in aiding an investigation and causes us to react instead of be preemptive. As well, do NOT advertise, DM, or in anyway alert the player in question

- You MUST clip all your kills.

- All compensation claims require a submitted ticket along with video proof (in most situations) of what was lost and how the loss occurred

- Some of these rules involve some sort of proof to be provided. Please be sure to record your game-play so that you can share your proof. Without video proof, the admins will not be able to take action. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RECORDING SOFTWARE ON HAND, DAYZ IS A BUG FILLED GAME.
