EAR Discord Rules/TOS

Rules

1. Keep all content respectful and appropriate.

a. If you believe something might be disrespectful or inappropriate, refrain from saying it.

b. Content of an adult or NSFW nature is not allowed. Our guideline is that content must be rated "PG-13" or below.

2. Any form of trolling, flaming, flame-baiting, or being overly aggressive towards other users it not permitted.

a. Keep discussion civil. Do not harass or threaten other users, or use EAR as a place to coordinate attacks on others.

b. Do not insult other users. If it isn't nice, just don't say it. Even if another user is insulting you, it is best to just report them to the Admins and move on.

c. Do not mini-mod or back talk staff.

3. Swearing should be used in moderation.

a. Shouldn't be directed at other people or businesses.

b. Shouldn't be excessive.

a. Any form of promotion or advertisement related to servers, products, or services within EAR is prohibited.

5. Do not threaten other users, servers, or communities.

a. We do not support hate towards others, including, but not limited to threatening DDoS attacks, harassment, or similar activities. This includeds any drama!

b. Any release of private or personal information is not permitted under any circumstances. This includes Doxxing (addresses, locations, or IP addresses).

6. Creation of multiple accounts, sharing accounts, and use of "Alts" is not permitted.

a. You are responsible for all actions performed by your account. Keeping your account secure is your responsibility. "I was hacked" and "It was my dog :3" are not excuses.

b. Usage of a public proxy or VPN is at your own risk. If the IP address you use is shared with banned users, you too may be banned.

7. EAR Participants are required to follow the Particapant Guidelines at all times.

8. Admin and Moderator's decisions are final and may involve enforcement of other unlisted rules.

9. These rules are subject to change at any time and are in no way permanent. We are not responsible for notifying you of changes.

Punishment System

Violations of our rules result in punishments administered by our moderators.

The severity of these punishments depends on the context and the specificity of the rule. For instance, a mildly impolite message might receive a warning and deletion, while sharing a malicious resource could lead to an immediate ban. Our moderators take into account an individual's prior behavior before deciding on a punishment. Persistent rule-breakers face increasingly severe consequences and may ultimately be permanently excluded from our services.
