Structure
Joining process
Joining the community was done by playing on the servers and optionally creating an account on their forums.
User expectations
The rules for all services the community maintained were held collectively on a single page.[5] Rules relating to communications, such as the forum or TeamSpeak, leaned on staff member autonomy with little specificity.
On the DarkRP servers, rules were more expansive in relation to player combat and base building. This was purportedly due to years of arguing with players by staff in prior attempts to maintain fairness. For example, the size of shooting windows was specified down to the pixel because of consistent abuse.
