Rules

Infraction Points

Every rule carries a point value. Points add up; the ban ladder at the bottom says what a total costs. Staff judge the whole situation, not a single frame.

🟩 1 Point — Minor Infraction

Low-impact disruptions and general toxicity — the “knock it off” tier. Things that make the experience worse for others, but aren't targeted or severe.

• — Toxicity & Chat —
• Personal insults: Attack the play, not the person. Competitive trash talk is part of the game — calling out a bad fight is fine; calling someone stupid, pathetic, or worthless is not. If you wouldn't say it to someone's face in a real sport, don't say it here.
• ✓ Allowed: That was a shit lunge. · Tail swing = epic fucking failure. · You threw that — I had you dead to rights after the bite. · Nice try, but you whiffed the read. · L / L rex · ez · noob · Fuck off / piss off
• ✗ Not allowed: You are a shit player. · You're a loser. · You fucking suck. · You're pathetic / worthless / stupid. · Learn to play (when it's a dig, not advice). · Fuck you
• Excessive arguing or stirring drama: Disagreements happen. Dragging them out in global or trying to pull other people in is what crosses the line.
• Spam messages or spam-calling
• Discussing bans, warnings, or punishments in public channels: Got an issue with a punishment? Open a ticket. Public ban talk just turns into arguments that help nobody.
• Bringing up politics or religion
• Public callouts against other players: Don't put people on blast in global. Use the ticket system.
• Messaging staff after being redirected to a ticket
• Begging for points in public chat
• Soliciting money, donations, or fundraisers (GoFundMe, CashApp, etc.): We're not a fundraising platform. If you're going through something, we're sorry — but the chats aren't the place. That includes subtle hints and “just sharing” links.
• Mini-modding: You're not staff. A polite rule reminder is fine; threatening punishment, speaking with authority, or trying to moderate situations yourself is not.
• English only in global chat (in-game): In-game global chat is English-only. Each non-English message can be treated as 1 point.

• — Discord —
• Ping abuse
• Misuse of tickets or channels after being told how to use them

🟨 2 Points — In-Game

In-game rulebreaks carry heavier weight — they directly affect other players' gameplay.

• Excessive targeting or singling out one player: Killing someone twice isn't targeting. Following one person around the map for 30 minutes to ruin their session, or attacking them on sight over and over, is.
• Griefing nestmates or groupmates
• Killing yourself to avoid a bounty payout
• Using /slay to avoid being killed or attacked: Includes intentionally running out of bounds to get slayed. If you're in a fight or just took/dealt damage, you can't slay for 10 seconds.
• 2-calling, then attacking
• Attacking before the teleport grace period (5 seconds)
• Removing someone from your group, then attacking before the 2-minute cooldown
• Exploiting rule loopholes: Technically not breaking a rule, but clearly abusing its spirit. “The rules don't specifically say I can't…” is not a defense if what you're doing is obviously meant to be against them.
• Harassment — sustained hostile behavior toward a specific person (staff or player): One rude comment is a 1-point. Targeting someone across multiple interactions, channels, or days is a 2-point, and severity may climb from there.
• Egg / nest griefing

🟧 5 Points — Serious Infraction

Conduct that undermines game integrity, makes people genuinely uncomfortable, or seriously disrupts the community.

• Inappropriate language or topics: Sexual topics (dildos, kinks, etc.) and graphic or vulgar content that makes the chat genuinely uncomfortable. This isn't about being oversensitive — it's about keeping the space somewhere people actually want to be. You know the difference between joking around and making it weird. Don't make it weird.
• Discriminatory language or targeted bigotry: Repeated discriminatory remarks or language meant to demean someone's identity. Context matters; staff use judgment on severity.
• Stream sniping: Using someone's stream to find and target them in-game. May escalate depending on how egregious it is.
• Meta gaming: Using information you wouldn't naturally have to gain an edge — Discord call-outs, stream watching, screen sharing, friends spectating and feeding you intel. It also covers abusing mechanics for info: stealing a nest egg then slaying so you can come back and hunt that group, for example. If you had to die, disconnect, or exploit a mechanic to act on what you learned, it's meta.
• Promoting other servers: Don't advertise other communities in our chats or in-game — including “subtle” plugs and using this Discord to reach people via DMs.

🟥 10 Points — Severe Offense

Crosses from “bad behavior” into doing real harm.

• Doxxing or sharing someone's personal information
• Threats — DDoS, real-life harm, or suggesting self-harm

⛔ 20 Points — Perma-Bannable

Immediate permanent removal. No warnings. No appeals for 30 days minimum.

• Sexualizing minors in any way
• Posting NSFW content (text, images, or links)
• Homophobic or racist slurs: Zero tolerance. There is no context where these are acceptable — this includes any racial slurs.
• Hacking or cheating
• Inappropriate names, profiles, or profile pictures: Banned until it's changed. Appeal with proof of the change to be unbanned.
• Ban evasion: Using an alt account to get around a ban. If caught, the ban doubles and the alt is permanently banned.

Zones

Type the command in game chat to see where you are. A zone changes which rules apply inside it.

• 1v1 Zone (!1v1) — Consent-based: Every fight needs mutual consent — a 3-call from all participants. No consent, no fight. Swing without calling and you forfeit your own right to consent: anyone can swing back. Defending yourself or others from rulebreakers carries no penalty. Infractions here only ban you from this area.
• Safe Zone (!spawn · !safezone) — No combat: No combat, period — and don't run back in while you're in combat. Even without damage, grabbing or knocking players over isn't allowed here.
• No Apex Zone (!noapex · !na) — No apexes: Apexes are banned; pack limits still apply. An apex that spawns here gets a warning announcement, then the bot slays it in 10 seconds.
• Pack Limits Zone (!limits · !pl · !a1–!a4) — Limits enforced: Standard pack limits apply. Exceeding them is 2 points.
• No-Limits Zone (!nolimits · !nl) — Anything goes: All pack limits removed — any species, any number, apexes can group. On exit, groups over normal limits have 60 seconds to split. Every other rule still applies.

Pack Limits

Each species has a pack value. A group's values add up and must stay within the limit for the zone you are in.

• 6 — Allo
• 5 — Dibble, Cera
• 4 — Teno, Carno, Maia, Bary
• 3 — Pachy, Omni, Dilo, Galli, Herra, Troo, Beipi, Hypsi, Dryo — and all juveniles & below

Grouping Rules

• What counts as a group — within ~1 rex-length of each other: One rex-length ≈ a fully-grown adult T-Rex from nose to tail. If another player's dino could fit between you two, you're probably fine; if it couldn't, you're grouped. You don't need a formal group to be overpacking — traveling, fighting, or hanging out within that range counts.
• Help one side in any way and you're part of that group: Biting, body-blocking, carrying someone to safety, distracting — it all counts. “I didn't attack anyone” is not a defense. If your actions helped one side win or survive, you were in the fight.
• Everyone who helped counts: Staff look at the whole fight, not a single moment. Anyone who participated on a side at any point is counted toward the total — walking away mid-fight doesn't remove you from the headcount.
• 2-minute group cooldown: After leaving a group, you can't assist or join another group in combat for 2 minutes. In a duo and you run off to help a solo? You're still part of your duo.
• Third-partying only applies if you attack all parties: Helping one side is joining that side.
• Removing someone from your group: You must wait 2 minutes before attacking them.
• Exceptions: Group limits don't apply inside the 1v1 area, or to anyone attacking a player who has a bounty.
