Etiquette Rules

• No excessive messaging (breaking up an idea in many posts instead of writing all out in just one post).
• No walls of text (either in separate posts or as a single post).
• No CAPS LOCK (Yelling)
• No overusing emojis and no external emojis.
• Keep conversations in English.

Mutual Respect

• Do not promote, coordinate, or engage in harassment.
• Do not allow the coordination, participation, or encouragement of sexual harassment, such as sending unsolicited sexually suggestive content, unwanted sexualization, or attacks on sexual activity.
• Do not use hate speech or engage in other hateful conduct. This includes the use of hate symbols and claims that deny the history of mass human atrocities. We consider hate speech to be any form of expression that either attacks other people or promotes hatred or violence against them based on their protected characteristics.
• Do not threaten to harm another individual or group of people. This includes direct, indirect, and suggestive threats.
• Do not organize, promote, or support violent extremism. This also includes glorifying violent events or the perpetrators of violent acts, as well as promoting conspiracy theories that could encourage or incite violence against others.
• Do not solicit, share, or make attempts to distribute content that depicts, promotes, or attempts to normalize child sexual abuse. Also, do not post content that in any way sexualizes children. This includes real as well as manipulated media, animation (such as lolicon), and any type of digital creation.
• Do not post sexually explicit content in user avatars, custom statuses or bios, server banners, server icons, invite splashes, emoji, stickers, or any other space that cannot be age-restricted.
• Do not share content that glorifies, promotes, or normalizes suicide or other acts of physical self-harm. Self-harm acts or threats used as a form of emotional manipulation or coercion are also prohibited.
• Do not share real media depicting gore, excessive violence, or animal harm, especially with the intention to harass or shock others.
• Do not share content that violates anyone’s intellectual property or other rights.

Mutual Honesty

• Do not share false or misleading information (otherwise known as misinformation). Content that is false, misleading, and can lead to significant risk of physical, financial, or societal harm may not be shared. We may remove content if we reasonably believe its spread could result in injury of others, obstruction of participation in civic processes, or the endangerment of public health.
• Do not misrepresent your identity in a deceptive or harmful way. This includes creating fake profiles and attempts to impersonate an individual, group, or organization.
• Do not engage in activities that could damage or compromise the security of an account, network, or system. This includes using deceptive techniques to trick others into revealing sensitive information (phishing), using malicious software (malware), and flooding a target with traffic in order to make a resource unavailable (denial-of-service attacks).
• Do not use or attempt to use our community to promote, coordinate, or execute financial scams. A financial scam is any intentionally deceptive act taken with the intent to receive an illegal, unethical, or otherwise dishonest gain. This includes but is not limited to: Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, advance-fee fraud, market manipulation (including “pump-and-dump” schemes), and romance and employment scams.
• Do not engage in activities that fraudulently generate a profit at the expense of others. This includes facilitating, providing instructions for, and participating in fraud. We do not allow coordinated efforts toward defrauding, price gouging, forgery, money laundering, or tools that facilitate illegal behavior.
• Do not organize, promote, or engage in any illegal behavior.
