We define hate-speech as messaging which has a negative impact on others either physically, mentally or can lead to these, examples include racism, anti-LGBT and more. Use your common sense - We're all human. Verbal warning initially, permanent ban afterward.

In todays' divisive world, politics is an emotionally-charged subject and many people are not equipped with the emotional skills to detach emotionally from a party and argue reasonably without taking it as an attack on their identity as a person, or on others. Personally I (Kaho) can debate politics as a subject until I get bored but it isn't possible to productively debate with an unreasonable person, and most people are unreasonable, so it's much easier to just say no politics. Verbal warning initially, permanent ban afterward.

That means no 'fxxking typical WoW players', 'degen ffxiv players' comments or similar. Verbal warning initially, permanent ban afterward.

This is fairly self-explanatory. Verbal warning initially, permanent ban afterward.

Also fairly self-explanatory. Flexible from timeouts to permabans, depending on severity.

Discord has no mechanism to check the safety of a link before someone clicks it. Not a bannable offense unless we conclude a posted link was done with malicious intent.

We want people in the community to feel safe from judgement away from the social networks. Verbal warning initially, permanent ban afterward.

Not the kind of backseating you think. If you are about to tell someone to watch the guide before they try out content or ask if someone did before they joined, know that this is not how we work here. Games don't present people a puzzle and then immediately tell them how to solve it or to tell someone to go watch a guide on how to solve it. At one point content was new, and it's interesting to see the wheels of different players turning as they work as a group to solve something. This is what makes watching things like the World of Warcraft Race to World First fascinating, or TEA, UCoB or DSR in FFXIV. Don't take that away from players. Like spamming, flexible from timeouts to permaban depending on severity.

We are a community that (I hope) will have each others back and want each other to succeed.

We are extremely flexible here. Sometimes we burn out on raiding, sometimes we just haven't opened a game in weeks or the day job is tiring us out. If you just go idle and we don't know the situation we may reach out to see if you are OK, but after a month or two we may invite someone in to the community in your place, and if you are idle for much longer than that we may remove you. This said, we don't want to just cut ties with our members so reach out to us and we'll see what we can do, exceed our member count if need be.

We don't restrict the use of swearing however we do have some restrictions on the use of certain words or phrases, specifically those that single out some quality or trait, or is calling some aspect of someone in to question which your use of such a term may be offensive or the word by itself is offensive.

We don't keep a permanent record of infractions or issues we've had with members of the guild (for a lot of reasons). We need the flexibility to forget in certain cases.

If your behaviour outside the guild causes us and our reputation harm, either by you violating community rules or common-decency laws we will have no choice but to remove you from the community. Examples of this include sexual and domestic abuse - whilst these do not come under our rules, we don't want someone accused of this in the guild because frankly they aren't the kind of person we want here (might I recommend a prison cell?).

This might sound like we are giving ourselves the ability to take action against members for any reason we want, however the above rules don't capture every instance of wrongdoing that the community doesn't want. We won't ban you for asinine reasons. We also won't ban you for anything that skirts the above rules but does not breach it. If we can detect malice however then you'll know about it. As per the age requirement above, we're all adults here so use your common sense.
