Hello guys!
In addition to the
and the
, the following regulations apply for the Rust Server advertising section. Possible rule violations can be reported by using the
button. Whenever a regulation is violated, immediate punishment - depending on the severity of violation - in form of a
warning or
infraction can be inflicted. More details regarding this can be found in
Basic P-Server rules
1. Presentations must first be approved by moderators before they become public.
Please note that this can take up to 72 hours. If it takes longer, you may contact the moderators. Attempts to circumvent the approval process (e.g. by posting in other forums) will result in an immediate infraction. The respective topic will then be deleted and must be recreated.
2. A link to
must be placed somewhere on your website if you want to advertise your private server. Any advertisement will be deleted if the moderator doesn't find the link on the given website. Please make sure that the website where you've placed the epvp link is viewable without the need to register.
3. All presentations need to have a certain amount of information of the project (such as start date,rates, features, functions). This can be visualized in pictures or written in textform. Linking to the full presentation on your own website is only allowed if the thread still contains a certain amount of information about the project.
4. Only 1 advertising thread for each server is allowed. Multiple threads will be removed and punished with a warning/infraction.
5. Your server
MUST be ready after 14 days from the date you submit your thread officially or in open beta phase. Betas have to be accessible to the public. However, the number of participants may be limited.
6. The presentation need to have a website posted or else it will be declined/closed.
7. Do not advertise other servers in another member's advertisement.
8. Stealing other thread's content is not allowed. such as Introduction text, skill/event description, logos or any similar will not be tolerated and marked as a violation to our section rules.You can contact one of the section Moderators in case if you took the author's permission to use it. This rule applies only to threads on our Website and does not cover external content.
9. Refrain from commenting in threads with quotes such as "Good luck" or "Good server" they will be considered as spam.
10. Servers are only allowed to be advertised from people who have full decision making powers(mostly server admin or sponsors). No friends or any staff member is allowed to do so.
11. The threadowner need to list a few of their epvp account information, i.e. their usernames and join dates. Also, the listing has to show the names (or pseudonyms) they are using on the server. All these information are collected in the original post.
- Team members who got promoted to the server admin rank (or higher) need to be listed accordingly. They are considered responsible persons.
- The responsible persons need to be listed even if they have left the team.
Just use a table that provides an overview of the entire team if you want to be on the safe side.

If there is no such listing, your thread will not get approved! Remember to keep it up to date!
12. Each server should aim for a minimum runtime of 6 months. If no uptime of 6 months has been reached, we will automatically prohibit the publication of further servers for 6 months. The release date of the thread counts as start date of the cooldown.
- After a runtime of 6 months, each server operator is allowed to publish another server, as long as the existing server is still maintained. This regulation extends to each additional server. With a third server, for example, the two previously created servers must continue to be operated. Server networks are therefore generally allowed.
Specific Rust Server rules
13. Paid servers are strictly prohibited and may not be advertised.
Important Note:
All cases will be handled individually and will be up to the Moderator's decision to punish/allow them. Not all cases are the same and will not be treated equally for the sake of context.
