Server rules
Every member follows the community rules below. They’re posted in the server and restated as binding terms. Most breaches are one strike; three strikes is a permanent ban, and severe violations are an immediate ban with no prior strikes. Staff enforce at reasonable discretion, and timeouts, kicks, and bans are final unless reversed on appeal. Prohibited:- Discrimination and hate. Attacking, demeaning, or excluding anyone based on race, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, gender, gender identity, disability, religion, age, or body type, including slurs. Applies to messages, nicknames, reactions, and any content a member controls.
- Threats and harassment. Threats of violence, targeted harassment, and stalking. Jokes about self-harm or suicide are prohibited, and encouraging anyone to harm themselves or others is a severe violation.
- Doxxing and private information. Publishing, threatening to publish, or soliciting someone’s private or identifying information (real names, addresses, phone numbers, workplaces, private accounts) without their clear consent. Leaking private DMs in public counts.
- Graphic and sexual media. Gore, real-world violence, pornographic material, animal cruelty, hate imagery, and shock content. Sexual content involving minors is an immediate permanent ban plus a report to Discord and, where appropriate, law enforcement.
- Threats to servers. Threats of nuking, raiding, or damaging other servers.
- Spam and flooding. Mass or repeated messages, pings, reactions, and emoji floods, and posting the same content across channels. Much of this is actioned automatically; step in on repeat offenders.
- Advertising and invite links. Discord invite links and unsolicited ads for other servers in the community channels. Members promote their own org only in the designated promo spaces.
- Fraud and scams. Fake vouches, undelivered services, chargeback abuse, phishing, fake giveaways, MLM, and stolen or trademarked brand assets. Fraud is a severe violation and grounds for an immediate ban.
- Gambling promotion. Casinos, sportsbooks, betting, and skin or loot-box gambling, including referral and affiliate links.
- Cheating and exploits. Promoting, selling, sharing, or linking cheats, hacks, aimbots, modified clients, or competitive exploits.
- Profiles and identity. Offensive, explicit, hateful, or slur-based profile pictures, banners, usernames, and nicknames, and impersonating a person, staff, an organisation, or a brand.
- AI misuse. Deepfakes of real people, and fabricated quotes, messages, or screenshots presented as genuine.
What the automod handles
The bot removes a lot of this before you see it, and logs each action to the staff logs. Know what’s automatic so you’re not duplicating it, and so you know where you still need to step in.- Slurs and hate speech, explicit sexual content, and self-harm encouragement are deleted by the word filter.
- Scam and phishing links, and crypto-casino scam images are removed on sight. The scam-image poster is timed out, since it’s almost always a hacked account.
- Doxxing (addresses, personal info) and leaked Discord tokens are caught and removed.
- @everyone and @here pings from non-staff are deleted silently.
- Mass channel or role deletions trigger the anti-nuke protection.
- Spam and floods (repeated links, image floods, mention spam, cross-posting) are rate-limited or removed.
- Invite links in the wrong channels are removed and routed.
How to action a breach

3

A 7 day timeout or further action.
General chat conduct
