Follow these every time you take action.
- Always record evidence (clips / screenshots / logs) before issuing serious punishments.
- Stay professional: you're representing Grime RP in every staff interaction.
- No revenge staffing: if you’re involved in RP, get another staff member if possible.
- Explain punishments clearly and calmly – let players know what rule they broke.
- Honour chain of command: escalate issues to Senior / H-Admin / Owner when needed.

Full City Rules — Staff Copy
This is a direct copy of the public rules at grimerp.com/rules.html so staff can read and reference everything without leaving the hub.
General
Account & Discord Requirements
- Must be 16+ to use the server.
- You must be in the Grime RP Discord while using the server at all times. Losing Discord membership = loss of whitelist; you must reapply.
- OOC / Admin help: go to the Gov Building (OOC channel ID: 8031).
- Medical service name: GHS = Grime Health Services.
- Do not PM staff under any circumstances. Do not tag staff outside the correct staff channels.
- You must have a working microphone. Be ready to record/clip — if staff request evidence, provide it.
- STRICT POLICY: No clip, no sit. If you refuse to provide requested clips/recordings when asked in an investigation, disciplinary action (including removal) will follow.
- Follow Twitch Terms of Service when streaming/using Twitch while playing.
Behaviour
Behaviour & Safety
- Zero tolerance for discrimination (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, etc.) or sexual harassment. Immediate removal for offences.
- No extreme toxicity, harassment, doxxing, or selling in-game info/items for real money — this will get you removed.
- No advertising other servers.
- Do not revenge-report. Only report genuine breaches.
- Impersonating staff = removal.
- Private discussions about open reports/tickets are forbidden and may result in a permanent ban.
Voice & Streaming
Voice / Streaming / Metagaming
- Metagaming is forbidden: do not use outside information (Discord calls, streams, chats) to gain in-game advantage or affect RP.
- You must not watch an active city streamer while in active RP and use info from it.
- Must not be in any VC channels while in the city of Grime, including private Discord calls or voice channels.
- Voice ID is allowed: using your character’s voice as identifier is fine; don’t use OOC info to influence RP.
- Clipping/recording software: keep it available. If a clip is requested for evidence, hand it over.
Roleplay
Roleplay Conduct (Core)
- Stay IC. Breaking character during RP is not permitted. Finish the scene, then report if needed.
- ERP, Suicide RP, Terrorism RP are strictly banned.
- Spitting (in chat/emote) is strictly banned — instant removal.
- No clip, no sit — teams/staff decisions on investigations require cooperation.
⚔️ Combat
Combat, Death & Injuries
- RDM (Random Deathmatch): killing requires a valid RP reason; killing is a last resort.
- VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch): do not use vehicles as weapons unless a genuine life-threat 1v1 scenario occurs (gunplay while driving and life is realistically at risk). Vehicles are not melee weapons.
- Not Valuing Life (NVL): fear and consequences must be realistic when threatened with weapons (excluding crowbars/hammers used for non-fear tasks).
- New Life Rule: if you are comatose (declared by GHS) or forced to respawn, you forget events that led to the coma. Do not use that knowledge after respawn. If placed on your back, forget the 15 minutes prior to that moment.
- Failure to RP injuries: RP injuries properly. You may not self-diagnose a coma; only GHS can do this.
Custody
Arrests, Custody & Corruption
- No corruption in whitelisted jobs without an approved, pre-written story. Corruption requires ticket submission and full staff approval.
- Impersonation of whitelisted jobs (PD, GHS, JUSTICE, GFB, government officials) is forbidden. Uniform/props that imply a job you don’t hold are not allowed.
Robberies
Robberies, Heists & Hostages
- High-tier robberies (e.g., Vangelico, Humane Labs) must have at least 1 hour cooldown between attempts.
- Shops/banks: 30 minutes cooldown.
- Max 2 primary vehicles per robbery/heist.
- When robbing certain targets (Vangelico, banks, heists) you must wear a duffle bag.
- Hostages must act like hostages and fear; you cannot stage fake hostages. You cannot rob someone who is on their side (stage 1/2).
- You cannot use hostage demands to free people from PD custody or to bypass PD procedures.
Comms
Radios, Phones & Comms
- Maximum 5 radios on scene for general criminal activity; whitelisted gangs: 10.
- Phones: allowed during Stage 1; not allowed in Stage 2 or when on your back. No phone use for police/999/111 while on your back.
Vehicles
Vehicles & Boating
- GTA driving style is allowed within reason; dangerous stunts that cause rolls require injury RP.
- If you enter water during a chase, you have 2 minutes in the water before you must return to land. Camping the water is forbidden.
- During or after a police chase, you must not store or put away your vehicle for at least 10 minutes.
Greengrass
Greengrass Zones & Uniform Rules

- Character wipes: do not delete your character without staff approval and a valid reason. If removed from PD, your character may be wiped.
- Whitelisted job cooldown: if you leave a whitelisted job, wait 7 days before applying for another whitelisted role (you may opt to serve your notice instead).
Reporting
Reporting & Evidence
- To report: open a ticket in the Grime RP Discord (Gov Building OOC: 8031).
- Provide clips/recordings where possible. Staff may request ID or evidence — comply. Failure to cooperate risks disciplinary action.
- Do not discuss your ticket publicly or privately with other players.
Enforcement
Enforcement & Penalties

- Severe breaches (hate speech, doxxing, ERP, selling IRL items, impersonation, spitting, refusing evidence) can result in immediate removal.
- Repeated or extreme offences will escalate to permanent bans.
Final Notes — Short & Sharp
- Keep RP realistic, fair, and respectful.
- Stay in Discord, keep your mic and clips ready, and don’t break the scene.
- If unsure, finish RP, then open a ticket at 8031. Staff will handle it.
🛡️ Staff Rules & TX Usage
Core expectations for all GrimeRP staff while on duty.
📜 GENERAL CONDUCT
- Professionalism is Essential: Staff must remain respectful, calm, and impartial at all times — even under pressure.
- Set the Standard: Your behaviour reflects the server. Be a role model for the community on and off duty.
- No Abuse of Powers: Do not use staff tools, perms, or authority for personal gain or to interfere in RP without valid reason.
- No RP Whilst On-Duty: If you are dealing with staff matters, you are OOC staff. Finish the situation and go off-duty before returning to RP.
🧑⚖️ STAFF PROCEDURE
- Record All Situations: Always use reliable software (Medal, OBS, ShadowPlay, etc.) when dealing with reports or staff situations.
- Log All Punishments: All actions must be logged in TXAdmin / Discord staff logs. Bans are only to be done through TXAdmin. Warnings must be issued using the in-game warning system.
- Stay Neutral: Do not handle cases involving yourself, your gang/RP group, or close friends. Pass it to another staff member.
- Evidence-Based Only: You must have proof (clip, logs, or multiple reliable witnesses) before issuing punishments.
- Investigate First, Punish Second: Speak to all involved parties unless it’s a serious case (e.g. modding, racial slurs, exploiting).
🚫 STAFF RESTRICTIONS
- No Random Spectating: Only spectate players if there’s a valid reason or an active report. This includes spectating higher-ranking staff without permission.
- No Spawning Items/Vehicles: Do not spawn money, items or vehicles for players unless approved for dev work or official events.
- Keep Staff Chat Professional: No arguments, drama or constant memes. Use an appropriate tone at all times.
- No Favouritism: Everyone must be treated fairly — regardless of relationships, gang, or RP status.
🪜 CHAIN OF COMMAND
- Follow the hierarchy: Trial Moderator → Moderator → Junior Admin → Administrator → Head Admin.
- Do not override or undo another staff member’s action unless authorised by someone above you in the chain.
- Handle internal staff disagreements privately with management — never in RP or public chats.
✅ STAFF EXPECTATIONS
- Breaking These Rules = Action: Warnings, suspension, or removal will be issued depending on severity.
- Stay Active: Staff activity is monitored. If you’re going away or stepping back, let management know in advance.
- You’re Here to Support the Community: Staff is not about ego or power — it’s about keeping RP fair, fun, and immersive for everyone.
