1. Discord Terms & Community Guidelines
All members must follow
Discord Terms of Service
and
Discord Community Guidelines.
These platform-wide rules apply in addition to our server-specific
regulations. Violations may result in action by both 5th Special Forces Group
and Discord.
2. Jokes About Inequity and Discrimination
Light or dark humor involving inequity and discrimination may be
acceptable in context, but only to a certain level. If it targets
someone, escalates, or makes others uncomfortable, it crosses the line.
When in doubt, err on the side of respect.
3. Doxxing
Doxxing, or any attempt to find, share, or threaten to share someone's
private or identifying information, will not be tolerated at any level.
This includes real names, addresses, workplaces, or other personal data.
Violations are taken seriously and may result in immediate removal and
referral to platform or legal authorities where appropriate.
4. Respect and Conduct
Be respectful and don't be gratuitously mean. Disagreements are fine;
personal attacks, harassment, or sustained hostility are not. We expect
members to treat each other with basic civility so the server remains
a place people want to be.
5. Advertising Other Servers
Advertising of any other Discord server (or similar communities)
without permission from administration will not be tolerated. This
includes unsolicited DMs, invites in chat, or linking servers in
profiles or messages. If you have a partner or related community to
share, contact staff first.
6. Language
Speak only English in official and general channels. It is the only
language our administration can and will moderate. This keeps
moderation fair and consistent for everyone. Other languages may be
allowed in designated or private contexts at staff discretion.
7. Age-Restricted and Disturbing Content
No age-restricted or obscene content outside of the age-gated NSFW
channel. This includes text, images, or links featuring nudity and
sex. Graphically disturbing content, such as hard violence, excessive
gore, self-harm, and pornography, is not allowed at any time, including
in NSFW. When in doubt, don't post it.
8. Reporting and Safety
If you see something against the rules or something that makes you feel
unsafe, let administration know. We want this server to be a welcoming
space. Reports can be made via DMs to staff or through any designated
reporting channel. We take reports seriously and will act as appropriate.
9. Political, Religious, and Divisive Topics
No political, religious, or otherwise potentially divisive discussion in
general channels. These topics often lead to conflict and can make
the server uncomfortable. Keep such discussions to DMs or off the
server unless a dedicated, opt-in space is provided by staff.
10. Impersonation
Do not impersonate any member of the server. This includes mimicking
usernames, nicknames, avatars, or speaking as if you are someone else.
Impersonation undermines trust and can be used for harassment or
scams; it will be dealt with firmly.
Anything not stated in the rules & regulations does not mean it is
something you can do. If you don't know if it's morally, legally,
ethically, or spiritually right, it's probably not right. There are no
loopholes or spin-arounds to the rules & regulations. Moderators
have the final say in all matters.
