is attacking, infiltrating, theft from, damage to, or related activity against another player or player group's base of operation, structures, storage, or character dwellings. Offline raiding a base is raiding a base when the base owners are offline and can't defend a raid. (People will hate you for this, but there are exceptions).
As stated on the the MagnumSRP Web site since 2022, "This is a social problem and not something that can be solved by banning people."
MagnumSRP staff are not expected to police activity that is too broad in nature, and too difficult to prove with fact based evidence as well as being subject to opinion. Therefore, technology is used to prevent many aspects of these issues. We have a tech solution here on MagnumSRP, it is map wide anti-raid plugin protection. It has improved since 2022 in that now not only registered faction bases are protected, but rather all player builds are protected all across the map. Registration is no longer necessary to benefit from anti-raid protection. There are, however, limits to this protection. Not all structures and barricades are protected and therefore a player must contain vulnerable items within protected structures.

- Page here provided for quick reference and clarification since some staff members seem confused on these concepts.
From Declaration of Faction War:
📌 Offline raiding is discouraged, however, will not be policed by the helper staff. Your faction is best served by having enough members that one person is available to check on things from time to time. This is why small factions tend to perish easily.
📌 On some faction servers a faction survives a long time by a tactic where all members simply agree to avoid the server for days at a time and therefore exploit rules against offline raiding to ensure the survival of their faction in name. If your faction group seeks survival by ghosting the server, think again.
📌 It is best to have enough members that someone is around to check on things from time to time.
📌 Helpers will not seek restitution from raiders even if you were offline.
It is advised you read the entire context from the Declaration of Faction War.
Remember that raid permits, listed as "explosives permit" in the shop can be used to blast though barricades; One permit per barricade. They are expensive and therefore it is impractical for one faction to use this as a tactic to successfully offline raid and defeat another faction by breaching their base and destroying their faction fox, unless, the victim faction made a very poor base design leaving their faction fox carelessly exposed -or- the victim faction has been inactive for a long time and their base has been chipped away permit by permit until successfully breached. Splash damage can destroy a faction fox.
Bases can become vulnerable if portions were constructed by players that fail to return to the server after a period of inactivity and decay is enabled. Small factions are vulnerable because they lack sufficient players to log in and check on things. Any faction that fails to attend to their base for days on end is vulnerable to offline raid. Yes, a faction can be defeated even if none of their members are online, as long as a registered faction is responsible for destroying the faction fox, an activity recorded in the log file.
