These are mostly common etiquette rules that you would have read in many other groups' regulations.
:: CHATS AVAILABLE ::
- FeralHeart group chat
- Skype
- Kik
Please contact the Council to be added to the chat.
In all the group chats listed above, you will be expected to keep the OOC rules:
:: CURSES AND TRIGGER CHAT TOPICS ::
- As this group is considered mature but is open to all FH users, the Staff may sometimes ask for cursing to be at minimum when there are younger members on.
- Overly sexual words and chat topics are discouraged, once again to protect some of our more innocent members.
- Trigger-sensitive topics are open for talk, but if anyone feels discomfort, let us be courteous and stop! Feel free to continue chatting of such topics in a party or whisper.
- Any discrimination based on age, character, literacy, gender, race, orientation, etc will be taken with utmost seriousness.
- When you- whether you are high ranked or a new face- are asked to stop pursuing a certain topic, please don't be offended! Politeness will be highly suggested for everyone in this group.
:: RESPECT ::
- Once again, be polite to everyone, no matter who they are! This includes people outside Vahraniik, mods, 'trolls', anyone we encounter. Have a medic's mindset!
- They do say respect goes both ways. Treat others the way you want to be treated
- Think before you type; it saves lives.
- RESPECT THE STAFF. These individuals have been given their rank as a Council for a reason; whether you know them outside of Vahraniik or not, they deserve the utmost attention and respect that you would give to an admin or a mod.
:: DRAMA ::
- IC Drama should always stay separate from OOC Drama.
- If OOC drama kindles between any members within Vahraniik, contact the Archon or any other Council member to talk it out! The Staff all have good experience in such things. Same for any drama with none-Vahraniik users.
- Realize that being 'friends' or 'acquaintances' with the Staff doesn't give you the right to stir trouble.
-Same goes for the Staff; just because you have the role of Council doesn't mean you can cause all the drama you want.
- Most importantly, just make a constant effort to keep the drama down. No mate-begging, excessive complaining/ranting, berating, sadistic attitudes...
- If you ever see someone just dying to start a dramatic scenario, contact the Staff instead of taking it to your own hands. Don't worry, we wont snitch.
:: THREE-STRIKES-YOU'RE-OUT POLICY ::
- As in, if you break these rules three times and receive three separate warnings, you're going to be temporarily banned from the group for one real life month. The group as whole will be addressed after that month whether they wish to allow the offender back in or not.
- First strike: a Staff will whisper you with the details of the rule you have broken, and tell you not to do it.
- Second strike: a Staff will mention in group chat with the details of the rules you have broken, and tell you not to do it.
- Third strike: the Council will ask you into a party about said offense and discuss whether you get one last chance or the one month suspension.
:: REPORT + CONTACT ::
- Someone breaking these rules? Well geez! But no worries. Just contact the Staff through their users on FH or Kik/Skype and they are sure to get back to you.
- Major offenses may sometimes occur (bullying, harrassments, extreme rudeness, rumor-spreading).
- Levitation is the second word to the password.
For the more serious issues, contact Indicinis on Kik/Skype/DeviantArt/FeralHeart right away.
