Moderation Policy & Guidelines
This document is a guideline for the Moderation Team. It provides structure for handling situations fairly and consistently, but cannot account for every possible scenario. Moderators are expected to use discretion, professionalism, and reason when taking action.
Rule Tolerances
Different rules have different tolerance levels.
- No Tolerance – Immediate Final Tier punishment.
- Low Tolerance – +2 to 4 tiers on punishment track.
- High Tolerance – +0 to 1 tier, usually a warning first.
- Unique Case – Does not use the punishment track.
The choice of tolerance level is heavily scrutinized, as it directly impacts punishment severity. Always exercise fair judgment.
No Tolerance Rules – Immediate Final Tier
These require immediate action (timeout, logging, and deletion). Heads of staff or Game Admins may step in, but a Moderator must investigate.
- Rule 1. Follow Discord Guidelines - Community must remain compliant with Discord Guidelines and Terms of Service. Basic familiarity is expected.
- Rule 3 (Major). No NSFW Content - ERP, pornography, or other explicit sexual/gore content is strictly prohibited. Adult content requires moderator approval, must be spoilered, and labeled with a content warning.
- Rule 2.1 (Severe). Intentional Harassment/Discrimination - Zero tolerance for harassment, witch-hunting, or discriminatory language (ethnicity, gender, sex, nationality, disability, etc.).
- Rule 2.5 Doxxing & Privacy - We explicitly ban sharing someone’s personal information (real name, address, workplace, phone, etc.) without consent—both in public channels and in DMs. You will be immediately removed from the Community and reported to Discord.
Low Tolerance Rules – +2–4 Tiers
Moderators/Heads should act immediately (verbal instruction → timeout if needed).
- Rule 3 (Minor). No Suggestive Content - Suggestive material that is provocative but not explicit. Requires moderator approval and must be spoilered.
- Rule 2.1 (Minor). Unintentional Harassment/Discrimination - Accidental offensive terms, if apologized for and not repeated. This will be treated as No Tolerance if recidivism is likely.
- Rule 2. Be Respectful (Excessive Rudeness) - Deliberate insults, attacks, or threats are prohibited. Show empathy and respect in disagreements.
- Rule 6. No Metacomming
