Forum & Discord Rules

Forum and Discord Rules
All aspects of the General Rules for the server will also apply to the forums and discord chat. These rules are more specific to the forums/discord and are here to help keep a civil and enjoyable feel to the interactions on the forums.
 * Don't post images or depictions of explicitly violent or sexual activity.
 * Excessively vulgar language is prohibited.  Some will be filtered out by the forum, but not being filtered does not mean you can say it.
 * Disagreement is welcomed, but keep posts constructive and civil; don't shitpost.
 * Don't lie or misrepresent.
 * Only staff members may call votes.  Staff may ask to keep these threads free of discussion; discuss them in another thread.
 * Don't discuss real-world politics or religion; people come here to escape all that.

Penalties
The below represents the typical progression of penalties a player will experience when in repeated violation of the forum rules. All players can expect to receive due process, but severity of violation, "gaming the rules", or finding ways around a ban may result in the process being fast-tracked, and may potentially lead to loss of server access as well.
 * 1) First Warning
 * 2) Second Warning
 * 3) One Week Forum Ban
 * 4) One Month Forum Ban
 * 5) Permanent Forum Ban

Appeals
Those who have been banned from the forum and/or server may appeal their ban at a later time by writing a letter to the staff email account. There is no set process for appeals: timing and decisions are the sole discretion of the administrators. Those who have been unbanned are no longer entitled to the process described above.
