Rules
FacePunch TOS:
Please take time to read and understand the FacePunch Rust TOS as these rules apply across all servers within Rust. If someone is breaking any of the rules listed there, use the F7 function in-game to report the player, even for conduct-related matters. Also, we recommend using the in-game mute function for any individual players you are having issues with.
You will be issued a server ban for breaking FacePunch TOS.
VAC/Game Ban Policy:
Players who attempt to connect to the server on a Steam account with any VAC/Game bans will have their SteamID permanently banned.
Players who share verified unique identifiers with an account that has a VAC/Non-Rust Game ban under 3 years old will be suspended until the VAC/Game ban on the other Steam account has reached 3 years old.
Players with verified alts of a Rust Game Banned (EAC) player will be banned permanently for evasion.
There are no appeals or exceptions to bans placed under this policy.
C.H.A.D. Ban Policy: (Temporarily Suspended)
Pickle Servers utilizes the Confirmed Hacker Alt Detection system which automatically places bans on some players suspected of being an alt account of a known cheater. If you are banned from the server and the message references C.H.A.D. you may only be readmitted if an appeal directly to the C.H.A.D. team is approved. This does not mean you would be safe from other policies in our rules, including our VAC/Game Ban policy.
To appeal a C.H.A.D. ban, open a ticket in their discord here.
VPN Policy:
We do not allow people to use VPNs. We understand that VPNs are very commonly used nowadays to hide your general web traffic from your ISP, contact us to review any bans associated with this policy. Note that services like GeForce NOW and Shadow are viewed as VPNs as well. A brief suspension will be placed on any players connecting from a detected VPN as to prevent players from attempting to circumvent this policy.
Server-issued suspensions for VPN connections are for 7 days unless the admin reviews and adjusts.
New Steam Accounts:
Although we allow new accounts to connect to the server, if your profile is not completed the server will automatically kick you.
There are no server-issued bans for new Steam accounts.
Age Policy:
Rust is rated Mature by the ESRB. Due to the content and nature of the game, and in order to protect minors, you must have a parent sign a consent form to allow you to play on our server if you are under the age of 18. We will only be accepting in-game global chat, Discord chat from within our own Discord Server, or voice chat witnessed by an admin or moderator as evidence that a user is in violation of the age policy due to the inability to accurately determine a users age by actions, voice (voice changers are common), or other reasons.
Suspensions under the age policy are permanent until signed parental consent or identification proving the user is 18 or older is provided.

Team Limit Server-Specific Rules:
Pickle Servers leads by example with top-tier community-based team-limit servers. In order to provide the best and most authentic experience, we have special rules and policies in place for our servers that feature team limits. Pickle Duo and Quad share the same set of team limit rules. Pickle Solo, however, has its own set of unique adaptions to the standard Pickle Team Limit rule set. Select the server you will be playing on to view its specific rules.
