While playing Area-47, players are required to follow the rules as to not ruin the fun for other users. We have an active moderation team always handling reports sent in by players. Ensure that you read these rules carefully so you’re not found to be breaking any.
We do not offer any form of refunds if moderation action is taken on your account for violating our rules. Follow the rules, and play fair, otherwise suffer the consequences.
1.1 - Follow the Roblox Terms of Use & Community Guidelines
Following the pre-established rules of the platform is required while playing our game. You can find the links to these rulebooks here:
Terms of Use: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004647846-Roblox-Terms-of-Use
Community Guidelines: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313410-Roblox-Community-Rules
1.2 - No Abusing the Report System
Our moderators work tirelessly to provide a quality experience for our players. Abusing the report button takes away time from our team that could be used dealing with real problems.
Only make a report if you see a user actively breaking the rules.
1.3 - No Command Abuse
When playing as a gamepass role like The Administrator, Site Director, or O5 Council, you are given special commands that other users do not have. Abusing these commands is prohibited.
Here are some examples of command abuse (but not limited to):
- Votekicking users without a valid reason. (only rule-breakers should be vote-kicked)
- Class-E’ing a user without a good reason. (only rule-violations are valid reasons for Class-E’ing)
- Class-E’ing or successfully votekicking an on-duty moderator.
1.4 - No Abusing Alarms / Announcements
Repeatedly activating/sounding the alarms, through clicking a button, or selecting an announcement through the announcement panel, is annoying to all players in the server. This is not tolerated. Alarms are to only be sounded when there is an active situation in-game that meets the criteria.
1.5 - No Advertising
Advertising in Area-47 is prohibited. “Advertising” means directing players to play another game, bypassing the filter and sending links off-site, or anything to have a player purchase a product you’ve created.
1.6 - Evading Bans
Using an alternative account to bypass or evade an active ban is prohibited. If you are banned, do not create another account to join the game, this will cause your main account to be permanently banned. Reminder: We do not offer refunds under any circumstances for moderation actions taken on your account.
1.7 - No Breaching SCPs
Purposely breaching SCPs is prohibited on all teams except for Chaos Insurgency and Class-D. SCPs are allowed to breach other SCPs, SCP-096 can breach SCP-049 for example, however SCP-999 is not allowed to breach other SCPs.
Moderation severity on rule 1.7 ranges from moderator-to-moderator. So it’s best to not break this crucial rule.
