These guidelines are written for our official community outlets, such as Discord servers, forums, etc. The purpose is to keep these places clean and organized.

All users are supposed to maintain a level of respect towards other members, this rule is enforced heavily and requires you to refrain from disrespecting other members.

§ 1.2.0 - Ideologies & Theories

Refrain from using excessively inappropriate languages, as we have members that might take offence for such things, use swear words with caution.

Refrain from acting as if you have authority which you do not have. We have Community Staff for a reason. Don’t attempt to do their job.

§ 1.6.0 - Patience

§ 1.7.0 - Common sense

Use your common sense, as we are unable to list every rule that we have follow, community staff have the final say in the situation. All situations that do not adhere to any rule are up to a Senior Community Moderator to decide upon.

NSFW, (Not-Safe-For-Work) content is not allowed in our communities, as people here might be under 18, and they may take offence towards such content.

§ 1.9.0 - Spamming

Refrain from organizing or performing raids from within our official Discord servers and or communities.

§ 1.12.0 - PII

PII, or personally idenfiable information, shall not be sent or exchanged within our community, as we have no way to confirm that both parties are okay with this.

§ 1.13.0 - Language

English is the primary language of our communities, refrain from using any other languages, as we do not have the ability to moderate the content then.

§ 1.14.0- Obnoxiousness in VCs

Refrain from doing anything that might be seen as annoying or obnoxious within voice channels, such as screaming, disrespecting etc.

§ 1.15.0 - Soundboards & Voicechangers

These two tools, mentioned above, as well as any tools that do similar things, are not allowed within any voice channels.

Section 2: Authority & Staff

§ 2.0.1 - Community vs. Server Staff Teams

The Community Staff team is in charge of moderating the communities that we officially run. This team works semi-independently from the server moderation & administration teams. Both teams moderate and staff, but in different places.

§ 2.0.2 - Community Staff Team

The community staff team consists of three roles, Junior Community Moderator, Community Moderator, and Senior Community Moderator

Both Junior Community Moderator & Community Moderator are supervised by their superior role, however the Senior Community Moderator is supervised by the Staff Director in charge of the Community Staff.

§ 2.0.3 - Authorities

The Community Staff team has the final say in any situation that involves that team, but these actions can be appealed by creating a ticket on our forums.

They also have the responsibility of being unbiased and mature in their decisions, as without this critical part, the entire team would fall apart.

§ 2.0.4 - Chain of Command

All members are supposed to follow the chain or command in terms of the Community Staff team, however internally, the staff team members are supposed to respect their higher-ups, to a certain extent, as with great power comes great responsibility.
