Welcome to our official in-game rulebook for Waypoint. This page aims to cover the most common rules that are enforced by our staff team across each of our multiple games.
Please be aware that this rulebook is not absolute, and staff have the authority to act outside of these rules if absolutely necessary. By joining our games, you automatically agree to follow these rules. Not being aware of a rule will not be accepted as an excuse.
Protests
Protests are allowed, but disruption must be minimal. Do not use vehicles to block any road as part of a protest - these vehicles will be removed by staff if necessary.
Waypoint Toll Rules
At the Haymarket end of the A1, there is a tollbooth in operation across all lanes. This is usually a busy road and it can quickly become heavily congested - as a result, it's vital that traffic is able to flow without any major interruptions. Due to this, no roadworks, checkpoints or other similar obstructions are allowed within the general vicinity of this tollbooth. Any obstructions can be removed by staff if necessary.
Warnings
Warnings can be issued for the following:
- Failing to follow staff instruction - Purposely refusing to follow reasonable instructions of in-game staff, and/or obstructing their ability to perform their duties.
- Going rogue - Abusing your team to play in an unreasonable and/or disruptive manner, such as using a non-police vehicle to join/assist with a police pursuit or tactical action.
- Chat spam - Flooding the chat with repetitive/unnecessary messages, arguing needlessly, or causing severe disruptions in chat. A MUTE can also be issued if necessary.
- Theft of a restricted vehicle - Gamepass vehicles, private company vehicles and staff vehicles are considered restricted under this rule. If you cannot spawn the vehicle on your current team, you must not take it. Mod vehicles are easy to identify as these have amber/yellow ELS and "MOD" on their registration plate.
- Avoiding arrest/avoiding punishment - Resetting or leaving to avoid police and/or to avoid staff action.
- Tool abuse - Using any in-game tool in an unreasonable and/or disruptive manner. False arrests, mass killing, using cordons to disrupt others, false mod/999 calls, and panic/backup button abuse fall under this rule.
- Failing to roleplay (FRP) - Roleplay is semi-enforced. However, as soon as you commit a crime, you must roleplay that crime fairly with the police.
- Abusing glitches - Abusing glitches to give yourself an unfair advantage (i.e. glitching through walls, glitching your vehicle to escape police).
- Advertising - We do not allow any form of advertising within our Discord server or ingame.
- ELS abuse - Using your emergency lights in an unreasonable manner.
Bans
Bans can be issued for the following:
- Exploiting - Player flight, audio exploits, teleports, speed exploits.
- Discriminatory behaviour - Any discrimination against person(s) based on protected characteristics.
- Inappropriate behaviour - Mimmicking inappropriate acts, terror roleplays, not-safe-for-work roleplays and explicit language.
- Creating abusive symbols - Using cordons, players or vehicles to depict abusive symbols or text.
- Severe actions against the community - Any form of raiding, explicit or spam queries, cyberattacks, revealing identifying information.
- Ban evasion - A permanent ban will be issued for all associated accounts.
- Staff impersonation - Display name impersonation is a minimum ban of 7 days, username impersonation is permanent.
- No intent to roleplay - Randomly killing anyone in sight, driving in an excessively disruptive manner with no regard for other players, and anything in a similar manner where you do not intend to properly roleplay.
Banning Procedure
If you see anyone breaking these rules, please submit either a Player Report or an Admin Report as needed using our Contact form. We will require evidence in order to proceed with any reports - in most cases, video evidence will be necessary.
You can send us this evidence by uploading it to an external site of your choosing, and sharing a media link in your report. Examples of such sites include YouTube, Streamable, Medal, Gyazo, Imgur, and Lightshot. Discord links can also serve this purpose, but you must ensure that you share the direct media link and not the message link, otherwise it will not be viewable.
Admin Reports can be submitted if you feel that one of our staff acted unfairly towards you. As above, we will require evidence in order to proceed with any reports.
