Game mechanics support roleplay. They are not loopholes around the rules.
<aside>
If a system allows something mechanically, that does not automatically make it permitted.
</aside>
Do not knowingly use bugs, unintended mechanics, mod behaviour or technical exploits to gain an advantage, bypass a restriction or produce an outcome that would not normally be available. Discovering a bug accidentally is not a violation; knowingly continuing to exploit it is.
Game mechanics may not be used to accomplish something that the Server Rules or another published system explicitly prohibits. The absence of a mechanical restriction does not override an OOC rule.
<aside>
“The game lets me do it” is not an exemption from the rules.
</aside>
Bugs or exploits that could significantly affect other players, PvP, the economy, progression or server systems should be reported to Staff rather than shared or demonstrated publicly. Provide enough information for Staff to reproduce or investigate the issue where possible.
Staff permissions, tools and privileged information may only be used for Staff purposes. They may never be used to benefit a Staff member's own character, Clan or Faction, influence their ongoing roleplay or provide information their character would not otherwise possess.
When Staff permissions are required, the Staff member must enter Staff Mode before using them. While Staff Mode is active, they are acting in an official capacity rather than as their character.
<aside>
Tag on: you are acting as Staff. Tag off: you are another player.
