Support Rules
1. Follow Staff Decisions
The decision taken by staff should be followed at all times. Counter-intuitive questions regarding staff decisions are null & void. You are not allowed to seek interactions with higher management for relief from bans or staff actions. Every staff member is considered qualified and their decisions should be respected. Abusive behavior towards staff will not be tolerated. Comply respectfully with staff in all decisions.
Voice Communication
1. Microphone & Headset
Players are required to use a good quality, functioning microphone and headset to ensure clear communication during roleplay.
2. No External Communication
Players must not use external communication platforms (Discord, Zoom, etc.) to interact with others while actively playing on the server.

Out-of-character offensive language, threats, or racism are strictly prohibited. Any form of death threat toward real individuals is unacceptable and will lead to serious consequences.
No Toxicity
1. Zero Tolerance for Toxicity
FCRP has a zero-tolerance policy for toxic behaviors across all platforms. Offensive or explicit usernames, racism, trolling, discrimination, homophobia, and sexism will not be tolerated. Treat all members with respect and equality in voice, text, and streams. Publicly criticizing others is not allowed; report violations through proper channels. Content creators must moderate their communities or face consequences.
2. No Derogatory Language
Using terms like "weird" or "strange" or any similar derogatory words to insult or demean roleplay is unacceptable.
Account
1. Account Responsibility
You are solely responsible for all actions taken through your account. Keep it secure and follow community guidelines. If your account is hacked, compromised, or transferred (for example, using a different Steam, GTA, or Discord account), FCRP will not be responsible for any issues arising from it.
2. No Account Sharing / Trading
Account sharing, buying, or selling (including valuables) is strictly prohibited unless done through official channels approved by the server owner. Unauthorized transactions can result in scams, bans, or permanent character death.
3. Allowlist Transfers
If you lose access to your Discord account, we cannot transfer your Allowlist status. You must reapply with a new account.
4. Inactivity
If you are inactive for more than 30 days, your allowlist role may be removed without prior notice.
Donation
1. Donations & Purchases
All donations and purchases are tied to your specific account and character. Perks must be selected during purchase and cannot be changed once confirmed. Gifting is allowed, meaning a player may purchase perks for another player; however, once the purchase is completed, the perks will remain bound to the recipient’s account. If you are banned, purchases are forfeited and non-refundable. Chargebacks will result in a permanent, non-appealable ban.
2. No Resale or Transfer
The resale or transfer of purchased items is strictly prohibited. All items are for personal use only.
Character

Each character must be completely independent. Characters may not share knowledge, relationships, or connections unless established in roleplay. Cross-character relationships (siblings, cousins, alter egos) are prohibited.
2. Naming Policy
Character names must be realistic and immersive. Meme, troll, or inappropriate names will be changed or punished. Any names intended to insult, target, or mock other players, streamers, or public figures are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.

If you encounter a bug or script issue, continue RP and report it later via the proper channels. Do not break character.
4. Immersion & OOC Comments
Comments like "you must be bored" to police or other RP roles are considered OOC and are not allowed. Avoid terms like key, server, or HP in roleplay; use proper RP terms.
