When is a joke reaching ERP territory?

For the community's sake.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Don't masturbate in briefing. Don't do anything extremely sexual. If you wouldn't do it in front of a crowd of people you didn't know, you probably shouldn't do it in CM

Tread at your own risk, you have the definition in the rules. I tread that line all the time, and if I slip up and get reported some day, then I'll be permabanned like anyone else.

Just like the rule says: If you're not sure, don't fucking do it. It's not worth a perma ban.

Staff members have varying definitions on when a joke is reaching ERP territory, your best bet is to just not do it. In my opinion ERP = Explicitly sexual and erotic as a focus.

Hitting on a marine? Fine. Sexual jokes? Can tread the line. Detailing your genitals and sexual acts? Definite perma.

Keep it better safe then sorry though, or in other words, keep it in your pants.

Remind your friends not to speak explicitly erotic sentences on the LOOC and OOC channel. We will not tolerate any sexual citation, such as telling an erotic fetish or how you want to fuck someone. Anyway, you are allowed to talk jokes and fool your Marine partner in interesting and military ways, like saying that X has a tiny chick, as long as you do not abuse it. As the rules indicate, do not do this if you are not sure if it is allowed, or not.

From what ive learned firsthand, don't harmbaton the clown anywhere, especially briefing. It states in the rules "if you are not sure it is erp, don't do it". Even if you meant it as a joke it is not worth a permaban. No exceptions, 0 tolerance policy.
