Here we have a set of rules that apply to our Community Discord. These rules are general guidelines and are a way for us to ensure that everyone is following a community standard. What we mean by this is, we don't want anyone to feel out of place, or feel awkward in a sense where they feel as if though they don't belong. These rules, as all of our rules are subject to change.
Usernames must be in a non toxic, non offensive manner. If your personal Discord username is something offensive, we can not ask you to change that; however, when in our Community Discord you will be asked to change the nickname; failing to do so, a Moderator will do it for you. Changing the username back, to something prohibited once more will result in a kick from the Discord.
Periodically spamming is completely against our Community Guidelines, and will not be tolerated. What this means is, just generally don't be annoying. It's as simple as that really, don't flood the chat with complete nonsense and begin annoying everyone. Spamming can consist of but not limited to;
As any of our rules would imply toxic behavior is not welcome in our Community; nor is toxic behavior tolerated. If behavior that is toxic makes its way into our Discord, as any of our platforms the toxic member(s) will be removed.
Doxing is something we do not tolerate on any level; please see Ref. 1.8. This type of behavior isn't tolerated in any of our platforms/services however it's worth mentioning that this is not tolerated in our Discord either; and anyone affiliated with Doxing a member from the community; directly or indirectly from the Community's Discord will be blacklisted.
NSFW (Not Safe for Work) material must be refrained from any of the chats except for the appropriate channels. This means NSFW is not welcome in the general chat, as people often view these chats at work, school, college, public places and so on. We're not here to get anyone into trouble and some people generally don't want to see this type of content. This type of restricted content should only be posted in the channels accepting (or has a NSFW disclaimer).
As a general rule of thumb you shouldn't mention staff unless it is in dyer need. In contrary to that, if a staff member is directly engaging with you in any chat, then there is no harm in doing so as long as they don't need to tell you to stop. Regardless of this rule, our staff team can be extremely busy and sometimes useless @Mentions doesn't help. Though this rule is listed; it's not entirely enforced as we do engage with the community as much as possible and nothing comes from breaking this rule (unless you're being annoying and a nuisance). This rule is more of a "please respect we're busy approach and we should only be tagged if really needed".
Any form of advertising should be informed by UAT member before continuing to advertise. This type of behavior, may seem harmless but can cause harm to the Community. We ask for players not to advertise any other MTA RPing server SA-MP included. Advertising of a local business, or your work services should be shown to a UAT member before continuing to advertise to ensure you're not breaching any internal guidelines we may have set for advertising.
As per any user platform you must abide by the Terms of Service, which in this case is Discord's Terms of Service. Please see Ref. Discord TOS. Failure to adhere to Discord's policies may result in you getting banned from our Community Discord, along with a global ban from using Discord's platform.
