* [[Discord Code of Conduct]] |
|||
#Code of Conduct |
|||
> Updated: 11.18.20 |
|||
# Simutronics and the GameMasters have the right to remove any message or user it deems objectionable or that is not in Simutronics' best interest. |
|||
# Messages should always maintain a respectful, civil tone towards one another. Name-calling, harassment, disruptive behavior, and other types of abuse are not allowed. |
|||
# No cash sales on the official Discord. This includes character/account sales. |
|||
# Don't give away in-game puzzles. Even though your intention is good, such information may ruin the fun for people who want to figure out the puzzles on their own. You may make use of Discord's spoiler tags, which are the double bars (||) on both sides of the message to be within the code of conduct. The way the spoiler would need to be phrased is to allow the reader to know what they are clicking on. |
|||
## Example of what not to do: ||The answer is Koar.||> |
|||
## Example of acceptable spoilers: The answer is ||Koar||.> |
|||
# No "spamming." "Spamming" is the term used to describe posting the same message or substantially the same message in several places at the same time. If you're not sure where to message, pick a channel that closely matches your subject and post your message. If you don't get an answer or any interest the first time you post, wait a little bit, then post your message in a different channel. |
|||
# Watch the language. Any vulgarity is subject to having your entire message removed. This includes foreign languages. |
|||
# Communicating to GameMasters, either directly or indirectly, about in-game problems or concerns should be handled in game via <ASSIST> or <REPORT>. |
|||
# Players impersonating or using a name that gives the impression that you are a GameMaster, Simutronics staff member, representative of GemStone IV staff, another player or to harass another person will have their nicknames changed. |
|||
# Engaging in any sort of personal harassment, including - but not limited to - impersonation, cyber-bullying, out of character threats, doxing, and actions specifically targeted to be disruptive is grounds for being removed from the official Discord and possibly an immediate account termination in GemStone IV. |
|||
# WARN INTERACTION and WARN HARASSMENT (the in-game commands) do not extend to Discord. If you are having an issue with another player on Discord, it is advised to use Discord's built-in BLOCK feature. GemStone IV staff will continue to monitor harassment on the public Discord channels. If GemStone IV staff determine there is harassment going on, players engaging in harassment will be removed from the server. Direct Messages (DMs), other Discord servers, and various third-party communication venues (such as lnet or social media) are not something we can monitor. |
|||
# HMC status or being locked out in-game will result in being banned from Discord for the duration set in place. |
|||
# Discord is not intended to be a "Dial-a-GameMaster" platform. Its intended use is to have open communication and discussion about GemStone IV. |
|||
## In the context of #12, @mentioning (pinging) a specific GM falls into that category. Two exceptions to that are if 1) that staff member has provided explicit approval to do so and 2) the kudos channel. |
|||
<big>'''''At any point, severe violations of any of the Discord rules and Code-of-Conduct can result in a warning or an immediate banning from the server. The purpose of the official GemStone IV Discord is to allow a centralized communication outlet with players and game staff alike. It's not a place to be abusive or turn into a vicious sandbox.'''''</big> |
|||
* GameMasters may be limited on what they can respond to on Discord. |
|||
=== Code of Conduct Infractions === |
|||
Going forward, we will use these guidelines for infractions against our Discord Code of Conduct. A violation will result in these actions per calendar year: |
|||
: 1st warning: a warning is issued, but no other action is taken |
|||
: 2nd warning: 1 day timeout |
|||
: 3rd warning: 7 day timeout |
|||
: 4th warning: a 30 day timeout |
|||
Repeated violations past the 4th warning may result in longer timeouts or even a permanent banning from the official GemStone IV Discord server. |
|||
It can be difficult to moderate our server given the number of channels and messages received at any given time. To assist, you can report any issues by sending a Direct Message to @Tonis. Please include as many details as possible when reporting an issue, such as: (1) if specific to a user, which one, (2) the details of the issue, (3) which channel it occurred in, etc. Providing a direct link to the message in question will greatly help! |
|||
=== Moderation === |
|||
We have a series of updates coming to help us monitor, moderate, and automate areas of our in-game POLICY, our discord-rules, and our general code of conduct and terms of service. |
|||
The first one to launch will be a channel under the announcements category to let it be known if comments, threads, posts, and so one were pulled. On top of our own server rules, we also have the community server rules we need to uphold on this server to remain a community server. A big part of that is we have to agree to certain moderation. We have some tools that will help us do this moderation which you'll see after this announcement is live. |
|||
There are a lot of channels and not as many eyes to watch them all as things go live, so we have to lean on new ways to help us out so that we don't jeopardize this form of communication with our player base. |
|||
=== Clarifications on Code of Conduct === |
|||
Discussions of politics, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and other potentially controversial out-of-game topics outside in-game topics, should be avoided on this server. There are plenty of places online to talk about that, this isn't one of them. |
|||
While we do our best to moderate Discord from disruptive behavior, engaging with players may open your comments to criticism that can go unmoderated. It's important to realize that the community has differing views, opinions, and passions when it comes to GemStone IV. Proper etiquette is to have mutual respect and treat others how you wish to be treated. It is not up to the moderators on Discord to watch over the server in its entirety at every moment. If someone is consistently stirring the pot, demanding answers, being rude, attacking/bullying others about their viewpoints, or providing large amounts of unconstructive feedback, it will result in dismissal from the official Discord server. |
|||
== Questions or Concerns == |
|||
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding any of the above and/or moderations you have witnessed, then we ask that you take the following steps: |
|||
Send a polite email regarding your concerns to either the PM, the APMs, Discord Moderators, or GSFeedback@play.net |

Input CHARACTER if you wish to use your current character's name.
