MTA - NYCT

This is the official handbook for MTA - NYCT. Please read it carefully as any changes made to this handbook will be clearly listed.

  • Make sure to follow the Roblox Community Guidelines at all times.

  • Do not attack/slander any other groups for no reason.

  • Do not evade any punishments made to your account.

  • Do not steal/leak any assets from our group [or any other group for that matter].

  • Do not share/sell accounts with points and/or ranks.

  • Listen to ranks higher than you and be respectful to all players. And do not act all bossy around others.

  • Exploiting [doesn’t matter how] is against the MTA - NYCT rules [as well as roblox TOS].

  • High ranks can remove a user from a position for poor behavior [both in game and in the server]. This can include toxicity, inappropriate behavior, etc. Anyone who acts in these ways will get their rank removed.

You can earn points by attending events such as runs and trainings.

  • Trainings can give up to 2 points upon completing it (Points can also be determined by how good you performed)
  • Runs can give up to 5 points (Determined by how many people attend)
  • You can ONLY earn points through events, or becoming Operator of the Week [more info on the last section].
  • Please note that misbehaving in events can lead to either a point deduction or demotion depending on the severity of your actions.

Other Information

HRs do not have serious (or as I say, outrageous) activity requirements, however, they do need to let others know about their absence for a certain period of time.

For example, you will be demoted for inactivity after 2 or more months IF you don’t let anyone in staff know.

Staff members have extra rules they need to follow (those rules are not shown to the public).

Dispatchers have rules based on scheduling and hosting runs, but just like the normal staff rules, these rules are hidden from the public.

Punishments

Failure to follow any of these rules listed above will result in a punishment.

  • 3 warnings [1 day ban from events as well as a temporary mute for the exact same time]
  • 6 warnings [3 day ban from events, an appealable ranklock, as well as a temporary mute for the day after]
  • 9 warnings [Permanent ban from events (appealable), a non-appealable ranklock, temporary ban from the group for 5 days, a temporary 3 day mute for the day after, and a probationary period (length not specified)]
  • 12 warnings [Blacklisted from both the group and discord with an opportunity to appeal]
  • 15+ warnings [Blacklisted from the group, main discord, and appeal server]

Staff Punishments

Abusing your admin powers will result in a blacklist from the group with NO chance to appeal.

Using/distributing our group models will not only result in a blacklist from the group, but the group using said models will also be blacklisted.

Using/distributing OTHER group’s models will also result in a blacklist from the group with no appeal.

Staff of the Month

Staff of the month is given to users who perform outstandingly in the group whether it’s an event or just in game.

  • It is awarded to Staff only (MR+)
  • They are nominated by an executive
  • Reward to be determined
  • There can only be a max of 2

This handbook is always in progress and all changes are NOT final.

This handbook has been signed by MTA - NYCT executives.
