These are the official rules for the Minecraft Server and Discord Server, along with our FAQ. Serious rulebreaking can result in temporary and permanent bans. There are many differences between the MC server rules and Discord server rules, so you should review them both.
Discord Server Rules
Rule 1. You must follow Discord’s terms of service and community guidelines:
Terms: https://discord.com/terms
Community Guidelines: https://discord.com/guidelines
Rule 2. Please respect all users, including moderators. Insulting, flame baiting, and other forms of trolling are not allowed. If you need help from a staff member, please use the helpop channel instead of messaging staff directly. Additionally, only ping staff members in case of emergencies.
Rule 3. The Discord Server is rated PG-13, which allows for the use of minor swearing within the Discord with the exception of the NSFW channels. The use of offensive/targeted slurs, along with any form of pornographic, violent, or controversial content is not allowed.
Rule 4. Advertising and Spam is not allowed. This includes self-promotion (outside of the Market channels), posting links to external websites, Youtube/Twitch channels, and posting links to other servers. Spam consists of, but is not limited to excessively sending messages and writing nonsense in the channels
Rule 5. Doxing or the posting of anyone’s private information is strictly prohibited. Posting full names, locations, or any identifying personal information is not allowed.
Rule 6. Safe Survival is an English-speaking server based in the United States. All channels both voice and text are English only.
Rule 7. Bypassing punishments with alternate Discord accounts is not allowed and will result in the punishment being applied to all accounts.

Do land claims expire?
Yes. The following rules apply to land claim expiration:
- As a general rule, land claims expire in 90 days offline. After 90 days of inactivity, the claim will be deleted.
- If a claim near a warp or spawn (500 blocks of admin claim border) has had no significant build or purpose given to it by its owner within 45 days of them acquiring it, it will be removed. A notice will be given 5 days in advance before it is removed. If the player begins developing the claim within that time period, they have an extra 20 days to finish building a substantial build. If there is still not a substantial build, the claim will be expired.
- If you plan to be inactive for a period longer than 90 days, please notify a mod to preserve claims from 90 day expiration (see How Claim Expiration Is Handled for more details).
- Players are allowed to request any Staff members for information regarding when a player was last seen. You are, however, limited to 2 requests per day.

You can request to have a moderator update your head if it will not change on it’s own. There is a limit of 3 requests per week, 3 heads maximum.
