This is an old revision of the document!
The Rules, as well as the “Spirit of the rules” are in place to help provide a fair and enjoyable gameplay and roleplay experience for everyone.
Attempts to evade or skirt the rules or the spirit of them is akin to breaking the rule.
Changes will be noted in discord in #public-changelog and potentially in a changelog here.
Grids that violate rules are subject to deletetion
Players that violate rules are subject to punishment up to and including a permanent ban without chance of appeal.
By playing on the server you agree to these rules and any punishments for violating them.
RULE SECTION 1) COMMUNITY RULES
1) Respect others
If you think that making fun of people in a malicious way or trolling people is fun, then you should show yourself the door, or have it be shown to you.
2) No NSFW
NSFW content will not be tolerated. This applies to in-game grids/builds, character backstory, and day-to-day interactions.
3) Advertising
If you wish to advertise something, open a ticket. Generally if it's something like a twitch or YouTube channel permission will be granted. If you advertise without permission, your message(s) will be deleted and you will face punishment.
4) Use Relevant Channels
If there's a specific channel for a topic, put messages/content of that topic there, not in #general or other channels. unless such a post in clearly relevant to an ongoing conversation.
5) Ruling
@Server Head word is final, if you have a problem with an @Admin ruling, then bring it to the @Server Head directly, but do not do so lightly.
6) Pinging
Pinging @Server Manager, @Moderator , @Admin or @Server Head repeatedly, especially without good cause is not allowed. Only ping these roles if you need help that only they can give. This also extends to pinging individual members of these roles such as @skyecat__.
7) Names
Inappropriate and real life political character names are not tolerated. Your Discord name in this server must match your character name, but may have your original discord name after it. It is *recommended* to have your faction tag prefixed to your name.
8) Questions
If there are any questions, no matter how small, about any rules or potential interpretations of the rules, please open a ticket if you wish to ask privately, or you may ask in #general.
9) Ticket Access
If you would like other members to be added to the ticket (whether from your faction or not), ask a staff member in the ticket to add them for you.
10) Sensitive Topics
Do not debate religion, politics, or other sensitive topics anywhere in the server. While raising awareness of something that has implications outside of those realms (such as data privacy laws) is tentatively allowed, if you are asked to drop it, do so immediately. Staff retain the right to delete any messages that cross the line.
