This code of conduct applies exclusively to Archcord communities on Discord, Revolt & other future platforms. Derivatives of Archcord may utilise this.
By joining the Archcord community, you agree to follow this Code of Conduct as it exists at the time of joining — and as it is updated over time. You also agree to comply with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Failure to comply may result in your removal from our community.
Administrator - Owner of the Community (Amilie, TwoCold/Green)
These policies ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our members.
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination based on a person's gender, sexuality, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, language, age, body size, and other aspects of their identity. Our community is inclusive, and any discriminatory actions may result in moderation action, depending on severity.
By joining Archcord, you must be of the legal age in your jurisdiction to use our platforms. For Discord, you can review the conditions here. Whereas for Revolt, you can review the conditions here. Generally, you must be over 13, if users are found underage they will have their access to Archcord, and potentially partnered servers, revoked for at minimum 2 years.
Just because we have this condition does not mean you can make not safe for work jokes, see 1.3 Safe for Work Environment for more information.
We aim to maintain a Safe For Work (SFW) space for everyone. This includes guidelines for all forms of shared content:
- All messages must be safe for work. Explicit content (written, visual, auditory, or any other form) is prohibited.
- Profile content must remain appropriate for a community that includes minors, and adults. It cannot be sexually explicit, and/or hateful towards individuals/groups that are generally considered to be not harmful for society. Although you can have your own opinion about who's harmful or not, we will follow the widely accepted standards of society to define what's harmful or not.
- Do not share content depicting animal abuse, graphic gore, or excessive violence.
- Content related to self-harm or suicide is not allowed. Using such topics in a manipulative/negative way will result in immediate removal. We would also recommend not talking about these topics, because it might trigger someone that are facing the same issues in their own life, or they have someone close that has/had dealt with issues like this in the past.
Elitist behavior is not acceptable. Dismissing newcomers with comments like "RTFM" or "Read the Fucking Manual" undermines our community spirit. Additionally, knocking people for using certain distributions (eg. Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora or others) is not tolerated as we have a policy of welcoming all regardless of distribution.
You're welcome to discuss Archcord's internal matters—even outside the community—as long as it's done truthfully and respectfully. Deliberate falsification or manipulation may result in removal. Likewise, please don't bring drama or disputes from other communities into Archcord—we're here to keep things constructive and drama-free.
Do not share personal information about others (e.g., real names, phone numbers, emails, addresses) without explicit consent. Doing so may result in immediate removal from the community.
While discussions around piracy may occur, promoting or sharing sources, resources, or links related to piracy is prohibited. A moderator reserves the right to withdraw from a conversation, withhold a conversation or stop a conversation regarding this topic at any time. Failure to stop when asked will result in punishment.
Please use designated channels for bot commands to ensure clear conversation flow. You cannot abuse bots by repeatedly spamming the bot commands, as that will not only flood chat, but may have a negative impact on the bots performance affecting other members.
Harrassing members in server or in DMs is not tolerated. We will not accept malicious interactions with a member and if you do so, we reserve the right to remove you from the server.
In Archcord we do not tolerate politics, this is due to the tension they cause and the fact they cause arguments. This is not a community we want, and we desire to remain apolitical and ensure that everyone is seen, heard and can get the help they need, regardless of political views.
Voice channels have more relaxed guidelines but still require respectful behavior.
Interrupting music sessions (e.g., mass skipping or altering the queue) is not allowed. Please wait your turn or use a separate voice channel.
Spamming soundboard clips or audio in voice channels disrupts conversation and is prohibited. It may result in being server muted or removed from the voice channel.
All streamed content must comply with our SFW policies and piracy guidelines. Streaming content you haven't legally purchased is not allowed and may result in removal from the community.
By joining Archcord, you acknowledge our moderation practices.
Moderators have the authority to remove members for valid reasons. However, you have the right to communicate if you disagree with a decision using our ticketing system. Moderators must exercise their discretion fairly.
All moderation logs are publicly viewable to maintain transparency. If you have concerns or need clarifications, please open a ticket rather than discussing in general channels.
If the community deems an administrator unfit, a public vote will be held. A 30-day transition period is provided during which the outgoing administrator remains until a successor is elected. For this process to proceed, at least 60% of the ENTIRE community must agree via poll.
Administrators may remove any member deemed unfit for the community, even if they are following the Code of Conduct. This power is not absolute and can be challenged. However, sensitive matters may require administrators to withhold specific details.
This code of conduct is dedicated to the public domain under Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal.
By being part of Archcord, you help create a safe, respectful, and inclusive community. Thank you for your cooperation!
