1.General Conduct

  • 1.1Treat other players and staff with respect. Harassment, hate speech, and discrimination are not tolerated.
  • 1.2No racism, sexism, or slurs in voice, text, or in-game signage.
  • 1.3Staff decisions are final. If you disagree, open a ticket in Discord calmly.
  • 1.4Don't impersonate staff or other players.

2.Combat & PvP

  • 2.1This is a PvP server (75% PvP / 25% PvE) — you can be engaged almost anywhere. Play accordingly.
  • 2.2No stream sniping or using external info to gain an unfair advantage.
  • 2.3No exploiting terrain, walls, or geometry to shoot or see through them.
  • 2.4Trash-talk is fine in good fun; targeted harassment is not.

3.Raiding

  • 3.1Raiding is permitted during weekend raid windows only. Raiding outside those windows is prohibited.
  • 3.2No glitching into bases — raid through intended mechanics only.
  • 3.3Do not grief beyond what's needed to raid (e.g., no destroying everything just to ruin someone's day).
  • 3.4Soft-siding / wall stacking and similar exploits are not allowed.

4.Base Building

  • 4.1Build only in permitted areas. No bases blocking military spawns, traders, or quest locations.
  • 4.2No floating bases or builds that rely on exploits to be raid-proof.
  • 4.3Keep one main base per group unless staff approve otherwise.
  • 4.4Despawned/abandoned bases may be cleared by staff.

5.Groups & Clans

  • 5.1Maximum group size is 5. This includes temporary teaming.
  • 5.2No alliance stacking to exceed the 5-man limit during fights or raids.
  • 5.3Clan tags must follow the conduct rules — nothing offensive.

6.Cheating & Exploits

  • 6.1Zero tolerance for cheats, hacks, macros, or third-party tools that affect gameplay.
  • 6.2Report bugs and exploits to staff instead of abusing them — abuse results in a ban.
  • 6.3Duplicating items or any economy exploit is an instant ban.
  • 6.4Ban evasion with alternate accounts extends your ban.

7.Donations & Monetization

  • 7.1Donations are voluntary contributions toward server costs — thank you for supporting Project SHD.
  • 7.2Perks are quality-of-life or cosmetic (e.g., priority queue, custom clan-tag color) and never pay-to-win, in line with Bohemia Interactive's DayZ Monetization rules.
  • 7.3Donations are non-refundable. Perks may take a short time to be applied.
  • 7.4Project SHD is an independent community server and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bohemia Interactive.
