Our Community Guidelines ensure everyone finds belonging, but not at the expense of anyone else.These guidelines explain what is and isn’t allowed on Discord. Everyone on Discord must follow these rules, and they apply to all parts of our platform, including your content, behaviours, servers, and bots. We may consider relevant
We utilise the “good citizen” approach where everyone holds each other accountable and reports the violation of any of the rules. When someone violates these guidelines we may take a number of enforcement steps against them including: issuing warnings; removing content; suspending or removing the accounts and/or servers responsible; and potentially reporting them to law enforcement.If you come across a user, message, or server that appears to break these guidelines, please report it to us (insert how this reporting would be done).
Code of Conduct
- Be respectful: It’s fine to disagree, but abuse, harassment, hate speech, threats of any form of disrespect are not tolerated.
- Safety first: Posts that promote hazardous, dangerous, hateful, offensive or illegal behaviour are not allowed. Do not post any material that violates the copyright or intellectual property of others. (More on this below)
- Improve the discussion: Share your thoughts and add value to the conversation.
- Don’t be spammy: You can share your work and get feedback, but do not market your product without permission.
- Be a good citizen: If you see a post that violates our values, please flag it so the moderators can address the offending post.
- Personal information: Do not share your personal information. Remember, the feed is public. Feel free to message people privately and directly.
- No impersonation: Do not pretend to be someone you are not. Do not represent or claim to be part of a team or company that you are not.
- Don’t be a troll: Trolling refers to the act of disrupting the chat, making a nuisance out of yourself, deliberately making others uncomfortable, or otherwise attempting to start trouble.
Respect Each Other
- Do not harass others or organize, promote, or participate in harassment. Disagreements happen and are normal, but making continuous, repetitive, or severe negative comments or circumventing a block or ban can cross the line into harassment and is not okay.
- Do not organize, promote, or participate in hate speech or hateful conduct. It’s unacceptable to attack a person or a community based on attributes such as their race, ethnicity, caste, national origin, sex, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, serious illness, disabilities, or other protected classifications.
- Do not make threats of violence or threaten to harm others. This includes indirect or suggestive threats, as well as sharing or threatening to share someone’s personally identifiable information (also known as doxxing).
- Do not use Discord for the organization, promotion, or support of violent extremism. This also includes glorifying violent events, the perpetrators of violent acts, or similar behaviors.
- Do not sexualize children in any way. You cannot share content or links which depict children in a pornographic, sexually suggestive, or violent manner, including illustrated or digitally altered pornography that depicts children (such as lolicon, shotacon, or cub) and conduct grooming behaviors. We report illegal content and grooming to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
- We strongly discourage and may take action against vigilante behavior, as it can interfere with our investigation and ability to report to law enforcement.
- Do not make adult content available to anyone under the age of 18. You must be age 18 or older to participate in adult content on Discord. You must apply the age-restricted label to any channels or servers if they contain adult content or other restricted content such as violent content.
- Do not use adult content in avatars, server banners, server icons, invite splashes, emoji, stickers, or any other space that cannot be age-restricted.
- Do not share sexually explicit content of other people without their consent, or promote the sharing of non-consensual intimate materials (images, video, or audio), sometimes known as revenge porn.
