These '''server rules''' apply to all players on Prosperity SMP. Violations are handled through warnings, mutes, or bans depending on severity.

== General conduct ==
# '''Be respectful.''' No harassment, hate speech, slurs, or targeted toxicity in chat, signs, builds, or Discord.
# '''No cheating.''' Hacked clients, x-ray, fly hacks, speed hacks, duplication glitches, and exploit abuse are prohibited. Allowed mods include Optifine, shaders, minimaps without entity radar, and inventory sorters.
# '''No griefing.''' Do not destroy, modify, or steal from other players without permission.
# '''No spam.''' Excessive chat messages, advertisements for other servers, or command abuse are prohibited.

# '''No scamming.''' Honor trade agreements. Fraudulent shops and bait-and-switch pricing are prohibited.
# '''No market manipulation.''' Price fixing, wash trading between alts, and artificial inflation schemes are prohibited.

== Building rules ==
# '''Build only on your own plots.''' See [[Real estate]] for land acquisition and [[Zoning regulations]] for building restrictions.
# '''No offensive builds.''' Hate symbols, explicit content, or targeted harassment structures are removed without warning.
