You must try to reasonably engage with the target of the conflict (e.g. threaten them, argue with them, etc.) before harming them. This disrupts the roleplay experience and is strictly prohibited. Police reports as a result of RDM are still valid.
There are certain cases where RDM is permitted, these situations include:
Trespassing: If you find a person trespassing on your property, you may kill them without being punished for RDM. Gov laws may apply, however.
Mugging: Running /rob to mug a player after murdering them is permitted so long as you wait 10 minutes before doing it again to the same person. This is in place to prevent spam killing and ruining the experience for other players.

Inadmissible Evidence Policy
In our commitment to maintaining fairness and transparency within our community, we adhere to strict guidelines regarding the acceptance of evidence in server rule enforcement. Due to the potential for tampering and violation of privacy, we do not accept voice chat or direct message (DM) transcripts as valid evidence for rule violations.

Explanation: This policy is crucial for safeguarding player privacy and preventing fraudulent or otherwise invalid evidence

Integrity Preservation
> Our primary goal is to uphold the integrity of our server environment. Accepting voice chat or DMs as evidence introduces significant risks of manipulation, which undermines the fairness of our disciplinary process.

Privacy Considerations
> We respect the privacy of our community members. Voice chat recordings may capture personal conversations and sensitive information without consent, violating individuals' privacy.

Consistency and Reliability
> Ensuring a consistent and reliable enforcement process is crucial for maintaining trust amongst our playerbase. By excluding voice chat and DMs as evidence, we uphold a standard that prioritizes fairness and accuracy in rule enforcement

Exceptions: Certain exceptions may need to be made in order to keep the community safe

Advertisements
> Instances of advertising other servers unaffiliated with CityRP through DMs may be considered a breach of server rules. In such cases, DM evidence may be admissible to support the enforcement of our anti-advertising policies.

Extreme Rule Violations
> In situations involving severe rule violations that pose significant harm to the community or server environment, exceptions may be made at the discretion of server moderators or administrators.

We encourage all players to report rule violations using in-game chat or messages sent over official channels such as affiliated discords and forum topics, accompanied by any relevant screenshots or video recordings. Any questions or concerns regarding this policy may be directed to staff via Discord ticket. This approach helps us maintain a secure and accountable environment for everyone.
