Rules
We have a wonderful and caring comunity and strive hard to preserve the friendly and welcoming environment.
We know mistakes happen sometimes, so there's a three-strike system in place.
Strikes will be issued upon repeated violations of the rules.
We reserve the right to skip steps if the situation requires (ie. severe rules violations). Steps may also be repeated if the need arises.
- First violation of the rules will warrant a warning from a moderator or administrator.
- This will be either in the server or in direct messages.
- The second strike will result in a 24 hour timeout.
- Members will be unable to send messages during this time. Their timeout status will be visible by all members in the server.
- Upon a third strike, members will be either kicked or banned.
- Whether the member is kicked or banned will be at the moderators' discretion. The decision will be based on a majority vote of the mod team.
The rules of the DCMK Fanfiction Server are as follows.
"I didn't know the rules" or "I was just joking" will never be a valid excuse for a violation of the rules.
Each of these topics is expanded upon below to create the clearest picture of what is and is not tolerated in our community.
- Follow Discord TOS & Community Guidelines.
- Do not start conflict, cause distress, mini-mod, troll, or push topics of discourse and controversy.
- Keep the server as a whole user-friendly and PG-13.
- Do not use slurs.
- Do not ping @everyone or @here, and do not ping or @NOC unnecessarily (ie if you don’t need anything).
- Spamming pings will result in a temporary ban.
- Repeatedly disrespecting other users via pings counts as harassment.
