# \ud83d\udcdc Ruler <\/p>\n
**Ruler** is a Paper plugin that enforces your server rules by showing players a rules screen before they join. Players must \u2705 accept the rules to play; if they \u274c disagree, they are kicked. Once a player agrees, they will not see the rules screen again. The plugin stores accepted players using \ud83d\udcbe SQLite for persistence. <\/p>\n
