Keeping this community a fun, safe and creative place for everyone is of the outmost importance and priority for everyone.
- Do NOT be intentionally and continuously disrespectful and unfriendly - sometimes tensions, arguments and frustrations may run high, which is totally understandable, but it is absolutely unacceptable to keep doing it
- Do NOT harass anyone - harassing means attacking and discriminating against others on any basis, including but not limited to religion, political affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, creed, colour and nationality - this is absolutely unacceptable and will lead to an immediate and permanent ban from the game and the community
- Do NOT exploit anyone and especially newer players (power playing) - and especially to advance your own game/community goals
- Do NOT search for, circulate, publicly identify, publish or otherwise share personal information on anyone (doxxing) - this is absolutely unacceptable and will lead to an immediate and permanent ban from the game and the community
- Do NOT impersonate anyone with the intent to mislead, exploit loopholes and otherwise cheat and cause harm - this is absolutely unacceptable and will lead to an immediate and permanent ban from the game and the community
- Do NOT share private messages without permission - unless instructed to by an admin or member of the mod team
- Do NOT discuss warnings and bans issued on someone with an unhelpful cause and effect - as it puts an unnecessary spotlight on them that helps no one improve
- Do NOT troll or spam - spamming means sending unsolicited messages to a large number of recipients, posting in a large number of places and posting in a high level of frequency
- Do NOT advertise for other sites, games, forums, discords, etc., without first receiving approval from a member of the Moderation team.
- Do NOT engage with the community in any language other than English
- Do NOT discriminate against anyone on their use of the English language or understanding of any aspect of the game
- Do NOT confuse conversations by mixing in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) messaging without being clear
- Do NOT use artificial intelligence (AI) to generate text - as it defeats the entire purpose of the game (media is allowed and you can even use AI to help you plan your roleplay)
- Do NOT copy the work of others by presenting it as your own and without attribution or permission (plagiarism)
- Do NOT roleplay science-fiction or fantasy - as it defeats the entire context of the game
- Do NOT roleplay without the consent of affected/involved players - as it defeats the entire foundation of the game
Mods and admins are here to ensure the community remains a fun, safe and creative place for everyone without prejudice or bias. They also understand that abusing their position will likely lead to their permanent ban from the community and the game.
Thus, they must:
- Ban players who are breaking the aforementioned guidelines highlighted in red
- Enforce the rest of the aforementioned guidelines and the game rules in a thoughtful and reconciliatory manner with the goal of reaching a working solution for all participants
- Stay out of deliberations when they have a conflict of interest as players
- Raise complex and multi-sided issues to game masters for mediation, provided that they have first attempted to resolve them with the community
- Handle requests and enforce community guidelines and game rules - but note that admins are not expected to be as active or available as mods
- Players are generally advised to raise issues first to mods, then to admins and only as a last resort to game masters
- All players can apply to become a mod, propose changes to community guidelines and game rules and suggest features to the game, at any time
- Admins appoint and remove mods
- Admins supervise the enforcement levels (stricter/looser) of community guidelines and game rules and set the direction for mods with the goal of preserving balance
- Admins can override mod decisions
