Moderation Rules & Guidelines

Abstract

Exploiting or abusing the game is a serious offense. Moderators or administrators may put a blacklist in place to users who do not follow the rules.

When adequate evidence has been collected, staff are free to punish users within the protocols of these guidelines. The length and severity of punishments depends on the circumstances of each individual case. If a given case is severe enough, the punishment may be accordingly increased. Each case is ultimately up to moderator discretion.

Provided below are examples of potential banworthy offenses. Certain cases may arise that are not outlined in the following rules. It is up to the staff team to determine the proper case of action in these given situations.

Disclaimer

Gameplay Injections/ Hardware Exploits

This contains the different exploits that provide external assistance; if enough evidence suggests that a/the user is found to utilize these, they will be issued moderation. Some items in game are purposefully added into maps, those count as internal additions which are allowed. Including but not limited to: accelerators.

Appealable

Timescaling

Manipulating the in-game time to either slow down or speed up the user. Note: using the /timescale command IS allowed, but it does not submit the user's time. Using injections to bypass this, blacklistable.

Gains/Gaining

Manipulating the user's movement speed or position to either slow down or speed up; numerically modifying the user's speed.

Angle Changing

Manipulating the user's view/camera to seem forward when on serverside are facing in another direction, this would often be abused in styles such as Backwards or Sideways to assist the user with the camera view.

Virtual Reality/VR

A feature on Roblox that can be abused to angle change, use of virtual reality headsets in-game is prohibited.

Scrolling (Section)

Appearance of constant or close to constant scroll on scroll styled runs will be assumed to one of these. Scripts enabling this advantage via software or hardware is also prohibited.

Autoscroll

Binding the scroll wheel up/down to any other input or systematically triggering scroll via scripts.

Hyperscroll

Logitech provides a special feature in which the scroll wheel can scroll for a fast and prolonged period of time without [as much] resistance, use of this or from any other capable mouse or brand is prohibited. Video showcase of the Logitech G G502 mouse.

Autostrafe

Using a macro to bind a button to the user's mouse movement AND actively press the key to move in-game (pressing a simultaneously moves the user left and rotate the camera), having it sync for the user. This is different from Turn Binds because turn binds are single input single output.

Nulls

Preventing the user from pressing a key to achieve/aim for perfect/close to perfect sync; nullifying/disabling a button to register.

Gameplay Rules

This includes any game breaking or competition scheming advantage.

Appealable

Alternate Account(s)

New accounts used or made to cheat, or accounts that were made by an already blacklisted user.

Warnable

Edgeboosting/Edgesurfing

Abusing the edges of a platform in order to gain any amount of speed, usually you surf a little off of it. Jumping on the spine of surf ramps without gaining speed is not edgeboosting. Note: Edgeboosting offenses do not apply to the Scroll category.

Edge Ricochet

Abusing the edge of any platform/part to abuse game mechanics and directionally push to dramatically change one's height. AKA, Bouncing or Long Pocketing.

Map Skips/Glitches

Any skip that involves clipping through a part or exiting the boundaries of a map is forbidden. This also includes bouncing up to skip over another part of the map. If you have found a map bug like this, please refer and fill out the form here.

Ladder Boosting

Abuse of using ladders to boost over the edge to instantly gain units.

No title rules

Startzone Rules
  1. Leaving the startzone and re-entering the startzone to gain a height advantage at the start of the map.
  2. Leaving the startzone and re-entering after touching an anti cheat block. (Example: Tom Cruise/Vacancy)
  3. As a general rule, if you have to surf on a ramp to get on top of the anti telehop it is not allowed. (Example: Cryogen)
  4. Height advantages where one does not have to leave the startzone (E.g. Hyperspeed) are allowed.

Allowed

This section provides clarity to what is allowed that is questionable.

FPS Unlocker

Using the unofficial Roblox FPS Unlocker is allowed in the game. Roblox does allow allow using this, it only changes data in the memory, so it is not injecting.

Turn Binds

Turn bind scripts are allowed but are limited to one key press performing a single action or output (mouse movement). This is inclusive of keys which already have functions in game.

INTEGRATED Timescale

There is an integrated command in the game, /timescale, as this does not save the user's time, it is there for practicing. Breaking this to save times is cheating.

Creating Scripts

Developing exploits and scripts for cheating on the games alone are not blacklistable, however using the cheats makes you qualified for a blacklist. Holding scripts and not using them is not blacklistable, however, unmoral in most cases. >:(

Quaternions made a comment on a youtube video regarding a script tutorial.

Telehopping

Purposefully surfing/bhopping into a trigger to respawn with more speed. (This does not apply to all maps, some may have an anti-telehop.)

Spinning/Strafing Inside Anti-Telehop

Spaz-strafing/spinning after a stage teleport to gain speed before hitting the ground.

Scroll Edgeboosting

See Edgeboosting. Scroll Edgeboosting is allowed mostly because of how easy it is to accidentally edgeboost in the scroll style.

No-Leave Startzone Heights

Height advantages where one does not have to leave the startzone (E.g. Hyperspeed) are allowed.

Key Binding For Strafing

A user may bind their keys and map them to a different key, this is, again, limited to one key press; one input, one output. Setting a chat macro is allowed.

Other Rationales For Blacklisting

Cheating On Other Movement Games

Defining movement games as any game similar to or involves bhop or strafe movement.

If a user is known for cheating or exploiting on other movement games other than rbhop/rsurf, the user may be given a blacklist due to being untrustworthy on suspicious strafes.
