Built around high quality roleplay and the player experience — these rules aren't here to limit your roleplay, but to enhance it.
Questions? Reach out via our Discord. Rules are updated regularly, so check back often.
Account & Community Standards10 rules
You must be 18+ to play on the server.
Character names must be realistic with a first and last name — no slurs, celebrity names, or joke names (e.g. Ben Dover, Tom Hardy).
Steam names must not contain racial, homophobic, or graphic content, emojis, or non-English lettering — staff must be able to identify you.
You must have access to Discord in order to join and play SaintRP.
A working microphone with no background noise is required, with Push To Talk enabled.
Discrimination of any kind — race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or nationality — is not tolerated IC or OOC and may result in a permanent ban.
Clipping software is required at all times, minimum 2-minute clips. Reports without a visible ID (via your "show IDs" keybind) will be denied.
You are responsible for your account — you cannot let anyone else play your characters. Their rule breaks are your rule breaks.
You must be able to speak and understand English — SaintRP is a UK based server.
Whitelist roles are not transferable. If a role is removed for breaking a rule, it can be appealed.
Conduct & Fair Play12 rules
Voice ID is not permitted — treat a masked player as unidentifiable.
Controllers may only be used by on-duty NPAS-trained officers and Saint Health workers trained to fly.
ERP (erotic roleplay) is strictly prohibited, even with consent from all parties.
Do not roleplay as a default, uncustomized character ("Default Danny") — open a ticket if you spawn in unable to customize.
Emergency services and civ-job vehicles cannot be stolen, except from PD during an active chase you're logically part of.
Aircraft cannot be stolen or flown by anyone except trained NPAS officers and Health Service workers.
Direct messaging staff via Discord or social media is strictly prohibited.
If you need to step away IRL, leave the server — extended AFK time results in a kick.
Custom peds are a paid Tebex extra and must be staff-approved before purchase.
Discord calls are not allowed while playing, except when meeting with staff or management.
Watching another player's stream while in the city is bannable as metagaming.
Refusing a staff-requested PC check (macros, aimbot, soft aim, etc.) results in a permanent ban.
Green Zones
No robbing, killing, hostage-taking, punching, car theft, shootings, riots, or provoking other players in green zones.
Running into a green zone to escape a scene is punished the same as breaking the green zone rule.
Provoking another player inside a green zone gives them the right to rob or kill you — and you will be the one punished.
Staff working a business job must take it seriously — wiping business stashes can result in a ban.
Official Green Zones
Server Announced Events
Saint Hospital — staff in uniform and the grounds in and around it
Paradise — staff working in uniform
TheTown — staff working in uniform
Coffee Shop — staff working in uniform
Reserved for future businesses
Red Zones
Robbing and killing is allowed in red zones — high quality roleplay still applies. Be smart and vigilant, not just run-and-gun.
Red zone locations: Benches, Money Wash.
No camping.
Taking a hostage to a red zone to loophole standard server rules is an immediate permanent ban.
Cayo Perico is a red zone — if Police/SHS arrive they may be killed with no initiation or interaction required; helicopters, boats, and planes may be shot down.
RDM, Initiation & VDM
RDM is killing or damaging another player with no legitimate roleplay reason.
You must always initiate in person before shooting, reacting, or acting against another player (e.g. confrontation, meeting, death threat).
Initiating over the phone does not count — it must be done face to face.
VDM: using a vehicle to kill without intent to roleplay is not allowed, including repeated ramming to disable a vehicle. Applies to everyone, PD included, aside from approved PIT/box maneuvers.
You may block a vehicle with up to 3 vehicles total — if boxed in, you must exit the vehicle rather than ram or maneuver unrealistically to escape.
One clean PIT to end a chase, or a realistic roadblock with up to 3 vehicles, is allowed. Spamming rams, using vehicles as battering rams, or ramming your way out of a block is not.
Robbing
You cannot rob and kill in the same scene — the only exception is inside a red zone.
You cannot force a player to withdraw or transfer cash from a bank.
You cannot rob someone while they're in stage 1 or 2 (on their side or back).
You may take any illegal or legal pocket items except food and ID.
You must choose to rob OR kill, not both — selecting "Rob Player" ends the option to stage 1/2 or kill them during that encounter.
Dirty cash, drugs, guns, ammo, and armor are fair game to rob if the player was part of your roleplay scene. Civ job items, food, and ID items are not.
If you rob someone, you must let them live.
Robbing hotel keys or emptying a stash is powergaming and not allowed. Wiping gang stashes, hotels, or businesses is punishable.
The one exception: flatbacked police can be robbed for flashlights, body cams, panic buttons, and illegal items only — not without reason.
You cannot rob someone after SHS revives them — you must leave the scene.
Bodydumping
Only allowed in exceptional circumstances to conclude a storyline — e.g. ending a multi-day gang war by dumping a rival leader.
Must make roleplay sense as a storyline conclusion — not a way to avoid consequences or retaliation.
Staff reserve the right to review or revoke any bodydump deemed excessive or unjustified.
Combat Logging & New Life Rule
Disconnecting during an active scene to avoid punishment is against the rules — report accidental crashes via Discord if you can't reconnect.
Respawning without permission mid-roleplay can result in a ban — only respawn once the scene is clearly finished.
After incapacitation/stage 2, your character remembers nothing that led to it and cannot return to the area for at least 1 hour.
Disconnecting while incapacitated/stage 2 still requires you to follow the New Life Rule.
You may only remember the injury if treated and transported by a player or an SHS paramedic — injuries must be roleplayed for at least 15 minutes after treatment, with no retaliation for 30 minutes.
Powergaming
Powergaming is using game mechanics or emotes to gain an unfair advantage, or forcing unrealistic/overpowered outcomes without letting others react.
Spam punching or stabbing.
Escorting someone from a seat-belted car with the door closed.
Carrying someone through locked doors, or into a vehicle without seating them.
Entering locked MLOs to dodge roleplay, PD included.
Water dumping your car without a valid roleplay reason.
Using a garage while chased, arrested, robbed, or killed.
Using vehicles to kill locals during boosting/truck robberies instead of weapons.
Fail RP
Fail RP is anything that doesn't make sense — ask yourself "does this make sense?" and "could I do this IRL?"
Speaking while in stage 2 (on your back) is not allowed.
Not roleplaying your character's injuries.
Using your phone or unlocking doors while in handcuffs.
Abusing GTA physics, such as jumping mountains in vehicles.
Using the offline shop/peds to buy from a store with visible workers serving people.
Ignoring a /me, even during a rule break — roleplay it out, then clip and open a ticket.
Continuing to drive after a major crash instead of roleplaying the injury.
How to Avoid Fail RP
Understand the game rules and expectations of SaintRP.
Know your role — have a clear understanding of your character and keep your actions aligned with them.
Read the room — guns and knives are illegal, and courtrooms have metal detectors. Think logically.
Stay immersed — maintain realism and reflect real-world consequences and behaviours.
Metagaming
Metagaming is using out-of-character information for an in-game advantage — e.g. viewing Discord roles to identify a gang member.
Keep everything in character, even with real-life friends.
Messaging a friend on Discord to arrange an IC pickup or hospital run.
Watching another roleplayer's stream while in the city.
Sitting in a Discord call while in the city.
Sharing in-character secrets through out-of-character means, such as Discord.
Real World Trading (e.g. paying real money for an in-city car) results in a permanent ban.
Forbidden Roleplay & Impersonation
Suicide RP and Terrorism RP are strictly forbidden and will result in a ban.
Roleplaying sexual assault, including verbally, is not allowed and results in a ban — do not joke about it either.
Hitman RP is not allowed — you are not a superhero.
Roleplaying as the opposite sex of your character is not allowed.
Impersonating Police, Justice, or Health Service through clothing or roleplay is not allowed.
Radios & Gangs
No more than 5 people on your radio during criminal activity. Un-whitelisted gangs may have up to 8 (whitelisted gangs TBC).
Non-whitelisted gangs are limited to groups of 8.
Impersonating another gang is not allowed.
Phones, Force RP & OOC
You cannot use your phone at all while in stage 2 (on your back) — no texts, calls, or emergency alerts.
Force RP — forcing or interfering with another player's scene, including forced shared emotes — is strictly forbidden.
Do not speak OOC in the city unless a staff member has identified themselves and given permission.
Examples of going OOC: shouting "you're boring", quoting rules in-city, or crashing out mid-scene over a rule break.
Toxic Behaviour
Do not taunt, shout abuse at, or emote/dance over a downed player.
Insulting someone's parents is not allowed (unless a parent character is being roleplayed).
Using any words that violate TOS is not allowed.
Spitting in any form — including via /me or sound effects — is strictly forbidden and results in a permanent ban.
Driving & Value of Life
Jumps and stunts are allowed if landed on all four wheels — any rolls must be roleplayed as injuries. Bike jumps are not allowed (unrealistic).
NVL (Not Valuing Life): you must fear for your life when threatened with any weapon, and must not put your character in unnecessary danger, such as acting as bait.
Hostages, Robberies & Heists
You must not arrange a friend to act as a fake hostage.
High-tier robberies (e.g. celebrity heist) cannot start with less than 1 hour until restart/storm.
Small robberies require 1 hostage (grants 2 demands). Larger robberies/heists require 2 hostages (grants 3 demands) — a 3rd hostage grants one additional vehicle. Subject to change, announced via Discord.
Job weapons (e.g. hunting rifle, pickaxe) are not fear weapons and cannot be used to intimidate other players.
Cop Baiting & Chases
Do not force interactions with police for entertainment (burnouts, dangerous driving, circling police) — police only respond to what they naturally witness or are called to.
Decamps: set up a maximum of 2 decamp/chase vehicles. Don't decamp within 30 seconds of a chase unless crashed — value PD's time.
Entering water to evade police is allowed, but you then have 5 minutes to give up or escape via a legitimate route (e.g. boat).
Do not drive a car or motorbike directly into water to evade — the decamp rule above still applies.
Corruption & Disruption
Corruption is not allowed for any whitelisted job (Police, SHS, Justice) without prior staff approval via ticket, detailing the full storyline. All staff must agree.
An accepted corruption storyline ends that character's whitelisted job — the character will be wiped.
Major disruptions to a scene or event will result in warnings or bans.
Tebex & Hostage Policy
Tebex purchases (clothing, items, vehicles, etc.) cannot be transferred to anyone in the city.
Kidnapping a PD officer requires a valid reason — a friend being in custody is not one.
Hostage demands cannot be used to free someone once they've reached PD custody.
Exploiting
Exploiting game mechanics or scripts for monetary gain or an unfair advantage is not permitted.
Discovering and abusing a payout "bug" destroys the economy and will be punished.
Using civ job weapons (hunting rifles, jetwash) to hold up locals or other players.
Concealing a weapon in a bag it couldn't realistically fit in (e.g. a bat in a paper bag).
Using T/C to cancel animations after certain emotes is not allowed.
Bugs or glitches that let you enter buildings or restricted areas without using the natural entrance.
Karate-chopping or any other one-shot kill that doesn't involve a weapon is not allowed.
All bugs discovered during roleplay must be reported via Discord.
Camping & Staff Rules
Camping high-traffic areas leading to drug locations, job areas, or other secret spots to rob or kidnap is not allowed — PD included. Investigate properly through RP (e.g. CID).
Toxicity towards staff in any way will not be tolerated and can result in a ban.
A staff member's decision is final — no arguing, no spam-appealing via tickets.
Perm-banned players may open a ban appeal ticket after 1 month.
Staff handle tickets case-by-case; set ban lengths may be adjusted at their discretion within reason.
Do not @ staff in Discord — they will respond when they can.
