Discord

Preface

Introduction

The FASA Community Discord is an official hangout where anyone can participate in site, lore, and off-topic discussion. In addition to channels for readers, writers, artists, developers, and more, we host regular site announcements and community events.

The following tabs will consist of important rules and concepts to our Discord server that you will be expected to know and follow prior to entering the Discord. Please review them here before joining.

Common Rules

Common Rules

1. You must be 16 years or older to join. If it comes to the attention of staff that you are younger, you will be removed.
2. Overtly offensive content is a case-by-case basis. If you think it'll get you in trouble, don't post it.
3. Any problem that you have should be brought to the attention of a member who has authority to act upon said problem. Complaining about it publicly won't fix it for anyone.
4. Members are prohibited from contacting multiple members with authority in order to dodge rulings or deceive staff. If you disagree with what a staff member tells you, you are encouraged to bring it up publicly in the staff-to-member channel and state your disagreement.
5. Role-play is heavily discouraged.
6. Attempting to evade punishments will result in the punishment being escalated accordingly.
7. Do not continue past a moderator's stop order.
8. Users are prohibited from having multiple accounts on the server (not including accounts that have been purged by Discord).

Minor Violations

Minor Violations

1. Spamming and flooding text channels. This includes:
   • Posting of an excessive number of images in a row, or posting a significant amount of characters at once (in separate or joint messages, including between coordinated efforts of multiple users).
   • This does not pertain to on-topic discussion, such as the discussion of large paragraphs, writing, articles, and related RPC topics.
2. Keep posting limited to the correct channels; read the channel descriptions. Do not derail conversations. This includes:
   • Encouraging users to disrupt other channels, posting messages outside of a channel's given rules, shitposting.
3. Advertising and/or recommending another server, site and/or unaffiliated community. This does not include:
   • Conversations where other communities are mentioned naturally, recommendations of communities we are currently partnered with, and casual mentions of communities that aren't related to the general theme of our community's creative domain.
4. Microphone spamming in voice channels or being disrespectful to ongoing conversation in any voice channel.

Light Infractions

Light Infractions

1. Impersonation of any member. This includes:
   • Using dishonest profiles, modified message logs, dishonest nicknames, and similar techniques aimed at misrepresenting a person's identity or ideas through appropriation.
2. Posting screenshots and/or logs with the intention of starting drama. This includes:
   • Discussing disciplinary actions outside of appropriate places, sharing content from other communities with the intent of causing mass or personal aggression, using out-of-context message logs and/or visuals to misrepresent collective or personal statements.
3. Continuous mentioning of staff or non-staff members, or mentioning users and deleting the message in order to cause annoyance. This includes:
   • Repeated mentioning of users, mentioning of users or roles without a valid reason, and deletion of mentions immediately after posting them to create hanging notifications.
4. Slander or blatant and malicious false information seeking to destabilize our community or deceive users. This is as simple as it gets:
   • Be honest when it comes to your conduct.
5. Posting content that is NSFW or NSFW adjacent.
   • This will be determined by staff on a case-by-case basis
6. Minors acting sexually explicit and making others uncomfortable, or directly toward other members.

Heavy Infractions

Heavy Infractions

1. Encouraging or partaking in brigades against a particular person or their work, leaning toward aggressive conduct with or without a valid critical goal, and abusing or encouraging the abuse of our system through unwarranted votes.
2. Posting pornographic images, gore, and other major NSFW content. Just don't do it.
3. Continuous or extreme harassment of other users.
4. Adults being sexually explicit toward minors, and any pedophilic behaviors.
5. Organized raiding/vandalism of servers, sites, communities and projects, whether internal or external.
6. Revealing a user's personal information without permission (doxxing).

Punishments

Punishments

Punishments, if deemed necessary by a member of staff at any given time, will be handled on a case-by-case basis. However, to maintain fairness and equality within the community, it should generally be expected that the severity of one's actions will correlate with the severity of their punishment as determined by the prior categorizations of rules. If one believes that the means through which they have been punished is too severe or excessive for their actions, they are encouraged to reach out to administration.

Reaching out to Staff

Reaching Out

In the spirit of fairness to all members, the ability to reach out to administration when one has deemed the actions of the moderation team to be unfair and unjust has been left available in last-case scenarios. A brief list of admins will be listed below, though an abuse of this ability will result in a permanent and irreversible blacklisting from the FASA community:

• @Maplecroft
• @marpso
• @warden0190

Final Notes

Final Notes

• All messages posted within the Discord Server are logged.
• Our Discord Server will always comply with TOS, even when a TOS ruling would be nullified or exempted by a previous rule; if TOS changes, the rules above will change to comply with it.
• These rules may be changed at any time by those who have the authority to do so.
