   # Server Rules
-  This is a roleplay server, meaning that roleplay rules apply. [color=#ff0000]This is also a medium roleplay (MRP) server, meaning that MRP Amendments do apply.[/color]
+The following rules are for the Starlight Space Station 14 servers. Violating these rules may result in a warning, a temporary ban, or a permanent ban. You may also be banned from specific roles/jobs/departments. Bans can be appealed in the official Starlight Discord server.
 
-  Space Station 14 is not like most games. Many rules are designed to require roleplay, and not all rules are intuitive. Please take the time to read and understand the rules before you play so that you aren't surprised. Some of our rules are zero tolerance rules, meaning that a violation will result in an indefinite ban without any warning. Game admins will treat you as if you have read the rules, even if you have not.
+Players are also expected to understand Metashield. All rules and the metashield are often more up to date on the starlight wiki.
 
-  ## Core Rules
+If you are ever in doubt as to whether or not something is breaking the rules, feel free to contact the admins via Admin Help or ask on the Discord server.
+
+For in-universe laws and rules check Corporate Law and SOP.
+
+Remember, the rules and examples given here are NOT exhaustive. (See Rule 1)
+
+The servers are strictly [bold]16+ only[/bold].
+
+Deathmatch and sandbox gamemodes may not have these rules apply, rules will be given if they are changed. Ghost chat is an out of character in game chat, and does not need to apply to MRP rules.
+
+## Core Rules
   These rules apply at all times, including between rounds.

-  - [textlink="2. Don't be a dick" link="RuleC2"]
-  - [textlink="3. No Hate Speech or Discriminatory Language" link="RuleC3"]

-  - [textlink="14. Do not use LOOC or OOC to share current round information" link="RuleC14"]
-
-  ## Roleplay Rules
-  These rules only apply during a round. A round ends only when the game returns to the lobby. [color=#ff0000]All of these rules apply fully whenever the game is not at the lobby unless it is in an exempt game mode.[/color]
-
-  The deathmatch and sandbox game modes are exempt from these rules. Players who choose to not follow these rules are entirely responsible for knowing if an exempt game mode is active.
-
-  Roleplay rules do not apply to ghosts/spectators/observers while they are ghosts/spectators/observers. Dead chat is considered to be an in-game out of character chat channel.
-
-  See the list of [textlink="role types" link="RoleTypes"] for more information about the different types of roles.
