General Rules!
1. We don't crew kill.
If you see someone with the BULL tag, stay friendly.
2. Don't blow stuff up at meets, man.
It's GTA. Sometimes things go boom. That said, make many boom and I'll kick ya.
3. Don't bring the cops!
Cops are a pain. It's easy to bring some. It's easier for everyone else if you lead them away from the group and lose 'em.
4. STOP! Collaborate, Listen.
The host runs the show at a Bullshifters event. If someone directs you to line up a certain way for drags, or park over here... over there. Whatever. For the love of all that is holy, please do it.
5. Weapons. Less is more.
Assault rifles for stancing a vehicle is all that will be allowed. There is no reason to have weapons at a friendly event where no one is supposed to kill each other. Additional weapons may be allowed if we happen to enter a gang attack area so long as they are used for the sole purpose of completing the gang attack. Beyond those two exceptions... banned.
6. No Gate Crashers.
Since we are running our events out of a closed crew session it may happen that you accidentally join a meet that you had no idea was going on. It is very likely that the host of that event has put a lot of effort into organizing it for the people already there. If this happens and you may be asked to leave; if that happens please leave with minimal fuss. If you want to attend meets you must be active on this forum. On the other hand you might be asked to go read the event page then be allowed to return. They might even explain it to you on the spot. Ultimately it is up to the host what they choose to do; whatever they choose you must listen, (Rule 4).
ENFORCEMENT!
I like the two strike rule. I have faith that we are all at least fairly competent individuals. So, understand that if I take the time to message you about a violation of any of the above, you've got one strike. If I have to talk to you about the issue again, I'll just kick ya out. I don't like party poopers. That said, I don't want to have to worry about rule enforcement. We're all supposed to be here to have a good time. So just make like The Fonz and be cool. Still, I encourage members to message myself or Jamie_WCE about any issues.

GTAOnline Modding, The Bullshifters, and YOU!
That's right this is getting its own separate section with its own separate standard of enforcement. If your membership in this crew means something to you, you will not use mods in a public lobby while you have the BULL tag active. That's the basis of what is about to follow. There is no chances given, there is no two strike policy. Any offense listed below this body of text performed while wearing an active BULL tag will be grounds for immediate removal from the crew. You may consider this your warning.
Griefing
At no point while having your tag active should you use your trainer to cause grief and/or general chaos in any session, this includes the following;
Impersonation
Money Spawning
We've all been there in our want for the easy money. GTAOnline has a pretty steep economy. The struggle is real. So is Rockstar's enforcement of money spawns. They get most offenders if not immediately, then eventually. Which is why we will not allow money drops in crew sessions. We will also not tolerate members randomly "gifting" money in public sessions while the Bullshifters crew tag is active. We do not sanction the practice of money spawning as it is unsafe for the membership, and we do not want to be associated with users who blatantly mod GTAOnline in public sessions. What you do with the crew tag off in a private or invite only session is completely up to you, however. Just keep it out of our house.
Blatant and Obvious Use of Mods in GTAOnline Public Sessions
If you have a BULL crew tag active, don't do it. As I indicated in the rule on Money Spawning, The Bullshifters do not want to be associated with mod use in GTAOnline. If you are level 8000 in a public session and the people love you for your benevolence and godlike ability to make the world their oyster, we'll kick you out of our crew. We do not want any part of any situation that associates mod use with The Bullshifters crew. If you must mod your game, and publicly no less, take our crew tag off while you do it. I don't know how to cut this down the center any more closely than I have here. Take steps to ensure you do not associate the crew with activity that is known to result in adverse action against users by Rockstar Games. It's basic respect.
ENFORCEMENT!
As was mentioned above. Any evidence that shows a member engaged in any of the actions listed above is grounds for immediate dismissal from The Bullshifters. There is no two-strike policy that applies to these offenses.
Bullshifters Approved Mod Use...
There are some situations that mods may be ok to employ. Positive use of mods, in a Bullshifters moderated game session will not be met with adverse action against the member. Still, even though the actions I am about to go over may be considered "ok" under crew rules, any modification of GTAOnline is still explicitly prohibited by Rockstar Games. If you choose to mod the game, The Bullshifters crew claims no responsibility for your loss of GTAOnline game privileges at the hands of Rockstar Games, nor are we able to intervene in your favor. Any use of mods is entirely at your own risk.

You may consider this your warning.
Griefing
At no point while having your tag active should you use your trainer to cause grief and/or general chaos in any session, this includes the following;
- Causing explosions throughout the map that causes injury, player death or destruction of personal vehicles
- Causing an individual or multiple players to exit their vehicle
- Spawning items with malicious intent that kill players or even cause intense server or player based latency (Lag)
- Locking personal vehicles so that the owner is unable to use their vehicle
- Spawning 'Jihad priests' on other players
- Spawning objects or clone characters on other players - This has caused many issues around player's computers locking up and crashing to desktop
- God mode killing Rampage - If you feel the need to commit a small scale genocide in game, keep god mode off and remember not to kill any active Bullshifters crew
- Spawning vehicles in other player garages or removing personal vehicles from other player garages
- Causing any unwanted or unrequested changes to another player's weapons, cars, stats, inventory, or other attribute that was not explicitly asked for
- Any game manipulating action that causes another user to be dropped from GTAOnline, or causes the GTAV application itself to crash.
- Spawning vehicles and other items in a manner that inhibits the crew's ability to perform drag races or other events specific to a meetup
Impersonation
- At no point while being a member of the Bullshifters crew should you impersonate another player or Rockstar developer. Such action could result in your immediate removal from The Bullshifters crew.

Any use of mods is entirely at your own risk.
- Requested repairs to the vehicles of other meetup attendees
- Requested vehicle spawns
- Requested vehicle modifications (such as Benny's exclusive rims)
- Spawning of props not attached to players. Spawned props should be non-lethal to persons attending the meet
These are currently the only approved uses of mod consoles and the only approved condition for crew members to use mods while a BULL tag is active.
