Deus Ex Media Discord Server Community Guidelines

Last updated January 9, 2024

Thank you for being part of the Deus Ex Media Discord server! We’re happy you’re here. In order to nurture our small, safe space on the internet and protect our community, we expect all server users to conduct themselves at all times on the server according to the following rules:

Rules

1. Be respectful! You must respect all other users, regardless of your liking toward them. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
   1. This includes being mindful during any and all communication of differences in gender, race, sexual preference, class, age, disability, education, career, and beyond. This includes using every user’s correct pronouns and name.
   2. Keep it chill! We all want to want to be here. No fighting, no bullying, no bad intentions. If someone says they're uncomfortable, do your part to move the conversation on immediately.
2. No spamming. Don't send a lot of small messages right after each other. Do not disrupt chat by spamming.
3. Limit promotions. The server does not tolerate excessive non-DXM promotions, whether it be for other communities or organizations. “Excessive” may be defined circumstantially by server moderators.​
4. No abuse whatsoever. The Deus Ex Media Discord server does not permit abuse or bullying of any kind at any time. Verbal or other abuse to fellow server users is absolutely prohibited. Please report abusive behavior immediately to a server moderator.
5. Understand the community rating. Just like our podcasts, this server is rated R for adult language and sexual content, but we do not tolerate the sexualization of children, including children actors and characters in media, nor do we use our potty mouths to be rude to others.
6. Put content where it belongs. All server channels have notes explaining what they are intended for. If you don't understand the purpose of a channel or if you’re confused about where any content should be posted, feel free to ask any moderator or creator.
7. ​Follow the Discord Community Guidelines. You can find them here: https://discordapp.com/guidelines
