SCP: Secret Laboratory Community Server Rules
A public SCP:SL server is a social product as much as a technical one. Players need to know what the rules are, who moderates them, whether plugins change the game, and how bans or appeals work.
Publish the essentials
| Policy | What players should see |
|---|---|
| Conduct | Chat, voice, griefing and exploit rules. |
| Moderation | Staff roles, evidence standard and appeal route. |
| Mod disclosure | That the server is modified and what changes players should expect. |
| Privacy | What identifiers or logs are retained and why. |
Keep authority narrow
- Give moderators only the Remote Admin permissions they need.
- Do not make every player an administrator.
- Record serious actions and review them consistently.
- Test rules on a private round before changing the public experience.
Northwood’s community-server guidance matters if you want an official relationship or verification. “Private” does not mean that unrestricted admin or undisclosed modifications are harmless.
Set roles with the Remote Admin guide and launch the technical side through SCP:SL server hosting.
