Rules & Guidelines

Disclaimer: By joining this Discord or connecting to our DayZ server, you agree to all rules below.

All rules must be followed - you may be suspended or banned from Discord, and the server, if you do not follow these rules.

All final rulings are at the administrator's discretion.

• Discord TOS: Full compliance with Discord Terms of Service is mandatory.

•  Zero Tolerance: Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, or any hate speech results in an immediate, permanent ban.

•  Restricted Topics: Chat is for in-game topics only. No politics, religion, or serious real-world debates.

•  No Toxicity: Harassment, threats, and "drama-baiting" are prohibited. If you force Admins to "babysit" drama instead of improving the server, you will be removed.

• Banter vs. Griefing:

  • •  Acceptable: Lighthearted competitive banter, joking about skills, or short game-related taunts.

    •  Prohibited: Personal attacks (family, race, gender), real-life threats, doxxing, stalking, or flooding chat with toxic spam.

    •  Targeting: Consistently targeting a specific player to make their experience miserable is griefing. Note: Dying repeatedly due to your own mistakes is not griefing; take responsibility for your gameplay.

•  Staff Conduct: Do not argue with, disrespect, or impersonate staff. Use the Ticket System for all reports and disputes.

•  Links/Ads: No external links or self-promotion without Admin permission. 

By playing on The Underground, you acknowledge the following:

•  Data Collection: We collect connection data (IP Address, Steam ID, Bohemia ID, Player Name) and gameplay activity.

•  Purpose: This data is used strictly for server protection, detecting cheaters/ban evaders, and moderation.

•  Third Parties: We use trusted tools (like CF Tools) to process data for security and statistics.

•  Policy: We do not sell data or use it for advertising. Data is kept only as long as necessary for server operations. 

•  Anti Cheat Policy: Players with previously existing cheater bans on record (from any server/platform) are not permitted to play here.

•  No Exploiting: No hacking, glitching, bug abuse, ban evading, or stream sniping.

•  No Safe Zone Crimes: Stealing, scamming, or killing in Safe Zones is prohibited.

•  Group Limits: Max 10 players per group. A group is defined by anyone sharing a base, territory, or resources.

•  Base Handoffs: No giving away bases or codes. If you quit the server, you must remove your flagpole and let the base despawn. 

• Combat Logging: You must wait 10 minutes to log out after dealing or taking player damage.

•  Zone Strafing: Do not abuse PVP/Safe Zone borders to escape combat or gain a tactical advantage.

•  PVE Zones: No killing players in PVE zones by any method (including indirect "creative" kills). 

•  PvE Zone Body Looting Rules:

  • Unconscious Players: Looting an unconscious player is strictly prohibited. Accessing their inventory, taking items, or "stripping" them while they are down will be treated as griefing.

  • Dead Players: You may only loot a body if the player has fully expired and reached the "Dead" state naturally.

  • Indirect Harm: Purposely kiting, leading, or baiting Zombies, AI, or Animals toward an unconscious or incapacitated player is strictly forbidden. Using the environment or NPCs to cause the death of another player will be treated as a ban-able offense.

  • Loot-Cycling: Moving items off a body to the ground while a player is unconscious (with the intent to pick them up later) is considered a violation of this rule. 

•  Illegal Locations: No building on/blocking: Roads, bridges, water, military spawns, heli crashes, airdrops, or public utilities (Hospitals, Police, Black Market, etc.).

•  1 Main Base: Max 6x6x6 walls OR 2 vanilla buildings.

•  1 Stash Base: Max 2x2x2 walls (No vanilla buildings).

•  Integrity: No floating bases or sky bridges. Watchtowers must adhere to the base limits. Max 1 level of foundation. 

Normal Rules (Raiding is DISABLED)

•  Definition: A base is any player-built structure (even an open gate or single wall).

•  Prohibited: Entering a compound uninvited, stealing from, or dismantling any player-built structure is Raiding and will result in a ban.

•  Decayed Bases: You may only loot if zero player-built parts remain (floating storage). You must record video proof of the decay before looting.

The Purge Rules (Pre-Wipe Only)

•  PVP: The entire map (except Safe Zones) becomes a PVP/Raid zone.

•  Building Limits: Max 25 total doors/gates/hatches per base.

•  Fair Access: Bases must be raidable. No blocking entrances with tents or storage. No "window-only" access.
