Reasoning

You may be a member of a gang and own a business, but you may not hold a Gang Leader or Underboss position while owning or managing a player-owned business.

Any player who owns or manages a business while also being affiliated with a gang is required to keep the business and the gang completely separate at all times. A business is considered an independent entity and is not owned, controlled, or operated by any gang. Gang affiliation must not influence how the business is run or how its services are provided.

Strictly prohibited

• ・Using a business to facilitate, conceal, or support any illegal gang activities.
• ・Conducting illegal transactions, meetings, or operations within a legitimate business.
• ・Allowing gang members to treat the business as gang property or a gang headquarters.

• ・May not be reserved exclusively for gang operations or used to conduct criminal activities.

Public-service businesses (restaurants, mechanic shops, dealerships, etc.)

• ・May not be used for gang meetings, criminal planning, or illegal transactions.
• ・May not be used for any activity that would reasonably compromise the legitimate operation of the business.

Business owners are expected to operate their establishments professionally and in accordance with server rules. Any attempt to use a legitimate business as a front for criminal or gang-related activities may result in staff action against both the business and the individuals involved.

Memory wipe is only permitted when a gang member leaves a gang, in order to protect any gang information they were exposed to and give the former member a fresh start to their character's life.

• ・Memory wipe may ONLY be requested by a player who is actively leaving a gang.
• ・The sole purpose of a memory wipe is to protect gang information that the departing member would otherwise carry into civilian life.
• ・Memory wipe does NOT form part of roleplay.
• ・Using memory wipe for any reason other than a legitimate gang departure is strictly prohibited.

Any attempt to use memory wipe outside of this scope will not be tolerated and may result in staff action against the individuals involved.
