We have a list of rules to keep a civil network, since we're all here to have a good time. Failure to follow the rules will likely result in vague administrative action
TL:DR
Don't be a dick. Don't be a dick to each other, or to the server. Follow Discords rules, and don't be that guy. Think of us as, Rules As Intended DMs
Rule 1: No -ists / -ics
This means don't be racist, homophobic, etc. We have a diverse community we want to support and feel safe, and the paradox of tolerance means we will not tolerate intolerance.
Rule 2: Don't advertise
Join the discord to shill some stupid rugpull? Trying to promote some other server or network? Even yourself? is that way. (Streaming is allowed, just don't be going out of your way to promote yourself here)
Rule 3: Be respectful
Avoid starting ridiculous flame wars, don't over-ping staff (This does go both ways, staff!), don't make everyone uncomfortable. This also means you shouldn't claim structures essential to progress.
Rule 4: No Griefing, No Ruining The Map
Don’t destroy other player’s bases, even unclaimed ones. This also includes that you shouldn't claim giant areas you aren't actually going to use, or trying to make the overworld ugly. (If you need to scalp a mountain for whatever reason, use the /warp farmworld)
Rule 5: Don't abuse the TPS
Don't build omega-factories for no reason, use TPS friendly designs and transport. We expect players to be self-policing of their builds, and if Staff has to get involved we may skip to vague administrator action for offenders.
Rule 6: Refer to the F.A.Q.

They have guidelines and considerations, you can consider these an extension of the rules. Don’t worry, there are very few
Rule 7: Use Common Sense
Duping, abusing exploits (to an extent), cheating. Obviously, if you ruin the MP experience, there'll be issues. Don't try to bypass the AFK-Timer
Speaking of overnight oats my girlfriend got a blender, like a ninja blender, and it’s really good at making overnight oats, but it’s also really good at making smoothies, and I don’t know if I should be concerned about that.
Rule 8: You aren't that guy, stop trying
"You didn't explicitly say no x-phobia / abusing Y exploit / ad infinitum!" These explanations are meant to give you the spirit of the rule, this isn't a court.
(A donor tried to argue that using a "super clever coded rewrite" of a slur wasn't against the rules as written. We didn't agree, and they lost that argument.)
Regarding Exploits
Some exploits are obviously not as problematic as others. For example: the GTNH iApiary Empowering Bee would be fine, but an exploit that generates something out of nothing would absolutely not be.
Examples: mekanism water-log creative cell, schematicannon mystical soil, etc.
If you aren’t sure, better to ask. Within reason, you won’t get in trouble if you ask and find out it’s too far. (Think, creative use of game mechanics)
