Discord Community Rules
1. Be respectful at all times!
2. No arguing in the Voice Chat/text chat. For any reason if you need to talk to an officer please do, but do not openly engage in an open voice channel. If you want to take it to a private group that's cool.
3. Jokes are okay, but they need to follow rule 1! If in an open chat, make sure all jokes and comments are appropriate for all in that chat!
4. All polarizing subjects can only be discussed in open channels after 10pm PST. (Those subjects include but are not limited to politics, dark humor, religion, inappropriate discussions, etc.) while of course keeping it in the guideline to be respectful of the others in the VC. These conversations, if they happen, still have to be respectful and kept in a civil way.
5. Don't talk over people. Let's be civil and respectful of others. There are times where we accidentally talk over people, and it happens but repeatedly (meaning a lot of times, not a couple) can be punished. This has been a constant problem as of late and will be treated in a harsher tone than normal. We have several people who don't even want to speak cause nothing they are saying is getting over the mic. THIS CANNOT AND WILL NOT CONTINUE. The people creating the problem will get a warning, from there they will get muted for the day. If there is still a problem they will then get timed out. Beyond that we'll settle this with the leadership and them. You don't want that. Trust me.
6. Always keep the in-game Guild/FC chat appropriately at all times! Never degrade our FC/guild chat! Discord is a little loose on the rules, but the in-game chats have to be a little stricter.
7. No ERP/LEWD/porn in any of the discord chat, in-game chat or areas of the FC House/Guild Hall. What you do in your private dms and private space is your business not ours. So, keep it that way!
8. Ops team voice chats are private! Please be respectful and don't interrupt them uninvited. (The leader of the group using the ops team channels sets the chat vibe)
9. No excessive cursing! Cursing isn't forbidden but over excessive use is.
10. No side conversations in town hall meetings. Nobody wants to waste time, so we need to keep Town Hall Meetings on point.
12. No derogatory slurs will be allowed in open voice channels for any reasons. (That would be the use of words nigger, faggot, etc.) Furthermore, though it is not a derogatory slur, repeatedly calling people stupid, idiots, etc. will be treated as much. This won't count joking which can be deciphered at the discretion of the moderator and the offending target. Name calling really isn't acceptable.
13. Game spoiler talk needs to be talked about in the spoiler voice chats. No spoilers in text chats outside the appropriate areas. (Screenshots posted require the spoiler box marked if posted)
14. Do not be loud or disruptive in any voice channels.
15. Talk of use of substances in call will not be openly tolerated. Though we cannot stop you from using them if it becomes the whole center of the conversation, we will shut it down (Resulting in being muted, timed out, etc.). Please use your best judgement being here. Also if you find yourself too much under the influence it may result in you being let, go from the channel for the night or a time out. We are supposed to be a community open for at least ages about 15. Talking constantly about Drugs (outside of game talk for we cannot control game content) or alcohol (in a manor that's all your talking about, alcohol isn't as serious as drugs but still let's not make your drinking a whole subject) will be penalized. If the use of drugs/alcohol causes you to break other rules established the admin staff will sit down to discuss this with you for it is a serious problem. So please be responsible with your own limits.
We're all here to have fun so try to follow these guidelines so that we can. Honestly the most important thing is to be respectful to everyone! But be warned if you don't follow these you can be facing a mute, boot, temp discord ban, or ban from the FC in general!
In-Game Text Chat Update:
The purpose of our Discord Community (and games in general) is to provide a fun hobby and a way to destress and unwind. As such in game FC/Guild chats are to be kept mostly clean, with fun being the order of the day. Every member should strive to keep the rules, but we will all slip up from time to time. But it is important that our in-game chats be kept positive, as such: Negativity, gossip, politics, religion, and divisive topics in general are to be avoided. People play these games to have fun and de-stress, so it's important that we stay considerate to them!
To this end: If the general mood of our in-game chats moves away from clean and positive conversation, Moderators are to steer the conversation back to the right track. If a Moderator asks you to cool it, or change the topic, please do so, and know that it is not a personal attack or slight against you. Incidents vary in intensity. People are allowed to joke as part of having fun but do keep it to a level of what could be said in front of a 15-year-old. If a Moderator openly addresses an incident, then that incident is neither serious, nor really problematic. No one is in trouble, and no one is being disciplined.
If a more pressing incident occurs, it will be taken care of out of the view of the FC/Guild. We are not here to humiliate anyone, nor do we want to foster drama. If there is a serious event, it will be handled by an on duty elder out of view of our public in-game chats.
