Select the server style and tone to generate a practical ruleset you can review and publish. Local AI can adapt the wording when supported.
Write rules around observable behavior instead of vague ideas such as “be good.” Explain what is prohibited, where the rule applies, and what a player should do when they need help or want to appeal.
Punishments should be proportional and consistently applied. Staff discretion may still be necessary, but hidden standards create confusion and make moderation harder to defend.
Check that every rule can actually be monitored and enforced with the tools your server uses. Remove duplicate rules, contradictions, and promises the team cannot maintain.
Publish a version date and announce material changes. Keep an accessible copy outside the game so players can read the rules before joining and refer to the same text during an appeal.
No. This generates community guidelines, not legal policy. Always review with your staff team before publishing.
Absolutely. Use the template as a starting point and edit freely to fit your community.
