Valley Prison rules govern player conduct across all servers in the Roblox prison roleplay experience developed by the Valley Prison group. Violations are enforced through an escalating disciplinary ladder: Warning, Server Kick, Temporary Ban, and Permanent Ban. Moderation actions depend on offense severity, intent, and prior infraction history.
Major Offenses and Permanent Ban Violations
Major offenses directly harm server stability, exploit game mechanics, or violate Roblox community standards. These actions trigger severe moderation, typically resulting in an immediate temporary suspension or an unappealable permanent ban.
- Exploiting: Running third-party software, injection clients, or external automation scripts to gain an unfair advantage results in an immediate, non-negotiable permanent ban.
- Erotic Roleplay (ERP): Engaging in sexualized roleplay through text chat or voice chat (including moaning, sexually suggestive comments, or flirtatious remarks) is strictly prohibited and results in a permanent ban.
- Racism and Discrimination: Any derogatory remarks, slurs, or mistreatment directed at physical appearance, religious beliefs, ethnicity, or sexual orientation carry an immediate temporary or permanent ban.
- Alternative Accounts (ALT): Using secondary accounts to evade an active kick or ban leads to a permanent ban across associated accounts. Even admitting to using an alt to bypass moderation is grounds for an immediate permanent ban.
- Leaving to Avoid Moderation (LTAM): Disconnecting from the server or switching teams while an active moderator is handling an incident increases the total ban duration. Staff review disconnect logs and can follow offenders across servers.
- Glitch Abuse (GA): Deliberately exploiting physics glitches, wall breaches, or map bugs to troll or gain a combat edge triggers a temporary or permanent ban. Accumulating four or more item-duplicating offenses automatically escalates the punishment to Glitch Abuse.
- Roblox Terms of Service Violations: Severe platform-level violations—such as sharing gore, doxxing, threats of distributed denial of service (DDoS), grooming, substance promotion, or self-harm encouragement—result in an immediate permanent ban from the game alongside reports submitted to Roblox Trust & Safety.
Minor Offenses and Disciplinary Penalties
Minor offenses cover common roleplay disruptions, combat griefing, and mechanic misuse. First-time occurrences usually result in a verbal warning or a server kick, while repeated infractions escalate to temporary bans.
| Rule & Acronym | Definition & Scope | Standard Enforcement |
|---|---|---|
| Random Killing (RK) | Intentionally killing innocent players without roleplay cause. Law enforcement officers who harm innocent inmates face removal from the LEO team. | Kick to Temporary Ban |
| Tool Abuse (TA) | Using tools outside their intended mechanics, such as spam-frisking, cuffing players without cause, camping vents with restraints, or blocking inmates from search bins. | Kick to Temporary Ban |
| Spawn Camping (SC) | Attacking or killing players directly at spawn zones, including team spawns, vehicle spawns, the gas station, and the barn area. | Kick to Temporary Ban |
| Targeting / New Life Rule (NLR) | Hunting down the same player repeatedly immediately after dying, or sending an escapee straight to solitary confinement after a prior death. | Warning to Temporary Ban |
| AFK Farming | Accumulating XP and levels without actively playing. Using external macros or autoclicker clients elevates this to a harsher temporary ban. | Kick to Temporary Ban |
| Back-and-Forth (BAF) | Repeatedly shifting your character model back and forth directly over or behind another player or downed body. | Kick to Temporary Ban |
| Teaming | Collaborating with opposing factions to give them an unfair team advantage (such as guards passing weapons to escapees). | Kick to Temporary Ban |

| Misuse of Helpcalls (MOH) | Submitting false, spam, or frivolous tickets through the in-game !mod command. | Warning to Temporary Ban |
| Avatar Misuse | Wearing accessories or bundles (such as skeleton or alien packages) that obscure inmate uniforms, or dressing in clothing resembling an opposing team to confuse players. | Warning to Temporary Ban |
| Interference with Moderation (IWM) | Tasing, pepper-spraying, attacking, or obstructing staff members while they are actively investigating or punishing an offender. | Kick to Temporary Ban |
Civilian and Visitor Guidelines
Players who select the Civilian or Visitor role act primarily as observers and neutral participants within the facility. They must adhere to four strict baseline restrictions:
- Free Roaming: Visitors are permitted to walk through open facility corridors and public areas as long as they do not disrupt operations.
- No Faction Assistance: Civilians may not help Inmates, Escapees, the Department of Corrections (DoC), or State Police gain tactical advantages, open locked doors, or transfer contraband.
- Strict Firearm Prohibition: Civilians are completely forbidden from possessing or brandishing firearms. Any visitor seen carrying a firearm may be eliminated on sight by law enforcement officers without triggering a Random Killing penalty.
- Restricted Area Compliance: Visitors must immediately vacate restricted security zones, guard checkpoints, or faction spawns when instructed by facility staff or law enforcement.
Donator Perk and Outfit Regulations
Players who donate 500 Robux or more obtain the Donator rank, which grants custom chat perks and access to outfit commands such as ;outfits, ;outfit, and ;outfitcomps. To prevent gameplay confusion and tactical exploitation, donators must follow clear uniform boundaries.
Donator outfit restrictions prohibit:
- Equipping Department of Corrections, Sheriff, or State Police uniforms while playing on the Inmate or Escapee teams.
- Equipping inmate jumpsuits from security tiers other than your current assigned level (for example, wearing a Minimum Security uniform while assigned to Maximum Security).
- Dressing in any inmate security jumpsuits while playing as an active Escapee.
- Wearing inmate uniforms of any tier while playing on any law enforcement or DoC team.
- Spamming or mass-executing outfit modification commands in the chat console.
Abusing outfit privileges triggers an escalating perk suspension ladder:
- First Offense: Formal in-game warning.
- Second Offense: Donator perk removal for 1 to 3 days.
- Third Offense: Donator perk removal for 5 to 7 days.
- Fourth Offense and Beyond: Donator perk removal for 10 to 30 days (stackable) or complete revocation of permissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does LTAM mean in Valley Prison?
LTAM stands for Leaving to Avoid Moderation. It refers to disconnecting from the server or switching teams while a staff member is actively questioning, warning, or penalizing you. Committing LTAM results in an increased ban duration applied directly to your account logs.
Can guards or janitors kill inmates without getting banned?
No. Killing innocent inmates without legitimate cause is classified as Random Killing (RK). Facility staff and law enforcement officers are required to use non-lethal escalation, such as tasers, handcuffs, or solitary confinement bookings. Inmates may only be engaged with lethal force if they brandish contraband weapons, become active escapees, or initiate combat.
What happens if you get caught using an alt account to bypass a ban?
Using an alternative account to evade an active suspension is classified as ALT Abuse. Staff issue an immediate permanent ban on the secondary account. Confessing in chat to being on an alt account will also trigger a permanent ban.
