<cat>Play.Hosting</cat>⤶ <title>Server Operator Rules</title>⤶ ⤶ This page describes rules that all server owners/operators must abide to.⤶ ⤶ Violating these rules will get your server blacklisted.⤶ ⤶ # The rules⤶ ⤶ Last updated: **2 April 2021**.⤶ ⤶ For majority of the time common sense applies. Do not try to look for loopholes in the rules.⤶ ⤶ If you are unsure if something is allowed or not (it probably isn't if you have to ask), feel free to write to the email below.⤶ ⤶ ### Sexual content⤶ Any form of sexual content is disallowed. Garry's Mod does not have an 18+ rating, therefore all servers must be appropriate for all age groups.⤶ ⤶ ### Server information⤶ Do not fake server information. This mostly means player count, but **other data also applies**.⤶ ⤶ If you are using any sort of "DDoS mitigation" that affects server info such as ping, first of all you should fix it to display correct information, but at the very least make sure you set **correct** `sv_location` for your server. You can find more information about this console variable <page text="here">Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server#locationflag</page>⤶ ⤶ # My server was blacklisted, what do I do?⤶ ⤶ Do not try to circumvent the blacklist. This just makes you look more guilty.⤶ ⤶ Look through each rule and see which one your server violates.⤶ ⤶ You can write to [robotboy655@facepunchstudios.com](mailto:robotboy655@facepunchstudios.com) to appeal a server blacklist or to simply ask for more information regarding this topic.⤶
