Hi Everyone,
After a number of conversations and threads, it was decided to refresh and re-work the Discord rules. There has been some initial feedback from the Discord staff which I will post in a reply to discuss here but this is what has been proposed by me based on our current rules in an effort to make things somewhat easier to understand for everyone.
QuoteDisplay MoreThese are the rules of the TotalFreedom discord server, which are in extension of the conduct policy.
General Notes
While we try to keep these rules simple and easy to understand, we ultimately expect our members to apply a level of common sense when using our discord community. We ask that people are respectful to one another regardless of rank / title or otherwise, and if you're politely told to stop doing something, perhaps you should think about listening.The Discord staff have the final say on sanctions issued out, and have my blessing to enforce the rules as appropriate and based on the circumstances, these aren't black and white, these are a guideline to help the staff team make the right choices when enforcing our standards.
Server Chat Channels
The server chat channels will be exclusively governed by the rules of the server to which the chat is sync'd with. The only exceptions to this are as followsa: There is to be no NSFW Material or links posted in the channel, either from discord or in game and the moderators will remove such content and sanction as appropriate.
b: Any actions to which the usage of the server chat results in you communicating with someone outside of said channel, for example if you use the channel to get a list of people to DM advertise you will be sanctioned according to the rules governing our policy on advertisements.
Section 1: Indefinite Ban Offences
These sanctions may be temporarily put in place by any member of the Discord staff team, however will require formal approval from the server owner, or a member of the ATLAS Management Team. This approval can be sought in the owners absence through the Executive Team who have access to members of the ATLAS Leadership Team.
These bans are permanent and may only be appealed on the grounds that the ban was incorrectly issued. Due to the high-bar of enacting this ban a high bar will be required for any appeals to be considered and approved.a: Any content (of any sort) that breaks the Discord Terms & Conditions
