Welcome to our community! We are committed to creating a respectful, safe, and enjoyable environment for all members. To ensure that everyone has a positive experience, we have established a set of guidelines and expectations. These rules are designed to maintain order, promote respectful interactions, and prevent disruptive behavior. By adhering to these standards, you help us foster a community where all members can engage constructively and feel valued.
1. Appropriate Use and Conduct Within the Gallery Channel
The gallery channel is designated for sharing content that is relevant and suitable for all members. Misuse of this space, including posting irrelevant, inappropriate, or unauthorized content, disrupts the community’s experience and deviates from the intended purpose of the channel. It is important to adhere to the community’s standards for relevance and appropriateness to maintain a cohesive and enjoyable environment for everyone.
2. Proper Utilization of Commands in Designated Channels
Commands should be used strictly in designated channels or contexts as specified. Using commands in general chat channels or contexts not intended for such interactions can disrupt ongoing conversations and affect the overall community experience. Members are expected to follow the specified guidelines for command usage to ensure that interactions remain orderly and relevant.
3. Responsible Sharing and Posting of Memes
Memes should enhance discussions and align with the community’s standards for appropriateness. Sharing irrelevant or inappropriate memes can detract from meaningful conversation and create a less productive environment. Ensure that all memes shared are suitable for the channel and contribute positively to the ongoing dialogue, maintaining a constructive atmosphere.
4. Adherence to Verbal Warnings Issued by Moderation Staff
Verbal warnings from moderation staff are intended to address and correct behavior that does not align with community standards. Ignoring these warnings undermines the efforts to maintain order and respect within the community. Members are expected to respond to and address any concerns or directives issued by moderators promptly to avoid escalation and ensure a harmonious community environment.
5. Upholding Respectful Behavior and Communication
Any form of disrespectful behavior, including rude or derogatory language towards other members, undermines the community’s positive atmosphere. Maintaining a respectful tone in all interactions is essential for fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Disregard for these norms will be addressed appropriately.
6. Management and Control of Minor NSFW Content
Posting content that is not overtly explicit but still considered inappropriate affects the overall environment of the community. All content should be suitable for a general audience to ensure a safe and respectful space for all members. Sharing such content is not in line with community standards.
7. Usage of Language That Maintains Professionalism and Respect
Language that is discriminatory, hateful, or otherwise harmful disrupts the positive and inclusive nature of the community. All members are expected to communicate respectfully and considerately to foster a welcoming environment for everyone.
8. Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior
Actions that cause unnecessary interruptions or disturbances in chat can negatively impact the overall experience of other members. Engaging in disruptive behavior compromises the quality of conversations and the community’s atmosphere. Members should act in ways that contribute to a positive and orderly chat environment.
9. Compliance with Forum-Specific Rules
Posts and interactions must comply with specific forum rules to ensure constructive and productive discussions. Violations of these rules undermine the intended purpose of the forum and can disrupt community engagement. Adherence to forum guidelines is essential for maintaining a productive environment.
10. Avoidance of Spamming Threads
Posting repetitive or off-topic content in threads clutters discussions and impedes meaningful engagement. Members should ensure that all contributions are relevant to the thread’s subject to facilitate effective and coherent discussions.
11. Moderation of Caps Lock Usage
Using caps lock excessively can be perceived as shouting and disrupt the flow of conversations. Members are encouraged to use caps lock sparingly to avoid creating a disruptive atmosphere and to maintain a respectful tone in communications.
12. Management of Excessive Chat Disturbance
Excessive noise or disruptions in chat negatively affect other members’ experiences. Engaging in behavior that creates unnecessary disturbances detracts from the overall quality of chat interactions. Members should aim to participate in conversations considerately to maintain a positive environment.
13. Addressing Continued Rule Violations
Consistent breaches of community rules demonstrate a lack of respect for the established guidelines and can affect the community’s integrity. Adhering to rules consistently is necessary to uphold community standards and ensure a respectful environment for all members.
14. Prevention of Excessive Trolling and Provocation
Deliberate trolling or provoking other members undermines the community’s positive atmosphere and disrupts enjoyable interactions. Members should engage constructively and respectfully, avoiding behavior intended to incite conflict or discomfort.
15. Control of Emote and GIF Usage in Chat
Flooding chat with excessive use of emotes or GIFs can disrupt conversations and annoy other members. Members should use emotes and GIFs in moderation to maintain a clean and pleasant chat environment.
16. Maintaining Appropriate Avatar and Profile Picture Standards
Avatars or profile pictures that are offensive or do not align with community standards reflect poorly on the community. Members should choose images that represent a respectful and appropriate image to contribute to a positive environment.
17. Impersonating Other Members or Staff
Impersonating other members or staff undermines trust and creates confusion within the community. Accurate representation and respect for others’ identities are crucial for maintaining a reliable and trustworthy environment.
18. Circumvention of Restrictions Through the Use of Alternate Accounts
Operating alternate accounts to circumvent restrictions or engage in prohibited behavior disrupts community integrity. Members should use a single, transparent account and adhere to the rules to ensure fair play and consistency.
19. Engagement in Harassment and Negative Behavior
Persistent negative behavior or harassment towards other members compromises the community’s safety and respect. Such behavior is taken seriously and requires immediate attention to maintain a supportive environment.
20. Prohibition of Unsolicited Direct Message Advertisements
Unsolicited advertisements sent via direct messages disrupt the community and are considered spam. Maintaining a non-commercial environment is crucial for ensuring that interactions remain relevant and respectful.
21. Making Threats of Violence or Death
Threats of violence or death are severe offenses and are treated with the highest level of seriousness. Ensuring a safe and secure environment for all members is a top priority.
22. Sharing of Malicious Links or Harmful Files
Distributing links or files that are harmful or intended to cause damage compromises the security of the community. Only share content that is verified as safe and trustworthy to protect all members from potential harm.
23. Addressing Participation of Underage Members
Members found to be underage are removed to maintain a community environment suitable for all participants. Adherence to age-related guidelines is essential for ensuring the safety and appropriateness of interactions.
24. Prohibition of Hacking or Exploiting Behaviors
Hacking or exploiting behaviors disrupt the community and violate the rules. Upholding fair play and integrity is essential for maintaining a positive and equitable experience for all members.
25. Restrictions on Blacklisted Users
Users who have been blacklisted due to severe violations or misconduct are prohibited from participating in the community. Respecting these restrictions is necessary to preserve the community’s integrity and standards.
26. Avoiding Spam and Repetitive Content
Spamming or flooding the community with repetitive content detracts from the quality of discussions and creates unnecessary clutter. Whether it’s excessive posting of messages, links, or media, members are expected to avoid behavior that disrupts the flow of conversations. Quality over quantity is key—meaningful contributions help the community thrive.
27. Fostering Inclusivity and Preventing Discrimination
Our community values diversity and inclusivity. We encourage members from all backgrounds to participate in discussions and share their perspectives. Discrimination or exclusion based on race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or any other personal attribute is unacceptable. Together, we can build a community where everyone feels welcome and respected.
28. Protecting Privacy and Personal Information
Respecting the privacy of others is essential to creating a safe environment. Sharing private information, whether it belongs to you or another member, without consent is strictly prohibited. This includes personal details such as addresses, phone numbers, or any other sensitive information. Maintaining the confidentiality of your own and others’ information protects everyone’s safety and security.
29. Discouraging Toxic Behavior and Trolling
Toxic behavior, including trolling, flame wars, or deliberately provoking negative responses, is not welcome in our community. We aim to foster a positive and supportive environment where members can engage in productive discussions without fear of harassment. Everyone is responsible for maintaining a respectful tone and ensuring that their contributions enhance the community experience.
