Community Rules & Guidelines​

---

These rules apply to all members of our community — across the forums, Discord, and game servers.
They are enforced at all times, and repeated violations may result in disciplinary action, including temporary or permanent removal from the server, community, or staff teams.

I. Content Guidelines
These rules govern how content should be posted and shared within our community.

(1-A) Keep all public spaces — including forums, Discord, and the shoutbox — safe for work.
Explicit or NSFW/18+ material must be kept private between consenting adults only.

(1-B) Stay on topic. Don’t derail threads or discussions.
Posts that intentionally drag conversations off-topic may be deleted, and you may lose posting privileges.

(1-C) No spamming. Post with intention and purpose.

(1-D) Use the correct forum categories and channels.
Keep discussions in the appropriate sections.

(1-E) Avatars and signatures must follow the same content rules.
Inappropriate ones will be removed — repeated offenses may result in the loss of customization privileges.

(1-F) Don’t derail or “shitpost” on unban requests, ban appeals, or PK appeals.
If you’re not directly involved or have nothing constructive to add, stay out of the thread.

(1-G) Don’t abuse forum ratings.
Mass or targeted use of reactions may result in losing the ability to rate posts.

II. Conduct & Behavior
These rules cover how members should treat one another within the community.
If you’re being harassed, contact an administrator — your report will remain confidential.

(2-A) Zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any form of hate speech.
Slurs or targeted harassment will result in immediate action.

(2-B) Do not harass or target other members.
Disagreements happen — keep it civil and deal with issues respectfully.

(2-C) Keep discussions civil and objective.
Constructive confrontation is fine, but flaming or emotional outbursts are not.

(2-D) Don’t encourage others to behave poorly.
Manipulating or mocking vulnerable members ("lolcowing") will not be tolerated.

(2-E) Do not share anyone’s personal information without explicit consent.
This is a zero-tolerance offense and will result in a permanent ban.

(2-F) Do not share explicit content unsolicited or pressure others to share such material.
Private, consensual interactions are outside our concern — but anything non-consensual or public is forbidden.

(2-G) Never share explicit or suggestive content with minors (anyone under 18).
This includes sexual roleplay, pornography, or related discussions.
Violating this rule results in a permanent, non-appealable ban, even if the recipient isn’t part of our community.

III. Miscellaneous Rules
These rules cover various community-wide expectations.

(3-A) One account per person — no alts.
If you are banned and wish to appeal, contact an admin to submit a proxy appeal on your behalf.

(3-B) Respect copyright and intellectual property laws.
Do not post links to pirated content or engage in illegal activity.

(3-C) Do not flame or attack other communities.
You may discuss other servers respectfully, but advertising or hate posts will be removed.
