Behavior Guidelines

Our Discord is an online, public forum and may only be accessed by a member of our community – in other words, a Company Pilot. As such, in addition to having your behavior meet the Standards set forth within our Code of Conduct, it should also conform to those general Behavior Guidelines listed below.

When on our Discord...

Be respectful, civil, and welcoming.
No inappropriate or unsafe content.
Do not misuse or spam in any of the channels.
Do not join the server to promote your content.
Any content that is NSFW is not allowed under any circumstances.
Do not buy/sell/trade/give away anything. without permission from the Business Office staff (rednames)
Do not use the server as a dating server.
The primary language of this server is English.
Discord names and avatars must be appropriate. Discord names are not controllable by user (are you referring to nickname or actual username? Not sure I want to police username unless it's "Youcansuckmycockbitch" or something extreme.
Spamming in any form is not allowed.
Controversial topics such as religion or politics are not allowed.
Don’t ping without legitimate reasoning behind them. User cannot ping but individual users; should specify this I think? Or perhaps say attempting @everyone or @here will result in a warning, followed by a ban. Users cannot do that, but I see that as a form of spamming.
No Discord server invite links or codes. Only official discords or industry communities--no personal Discord servers. industry communities I am referring to things outside "my personal MSFS race team community."
Do not advertise without permission. without permission from the Business Office staff (rednames)
Anything to target specific groups/individuals is prohibited.
No major spoilers from any anime, movie, tv-show, or games on public channels. don't see a reason to mention this..
Please do not mic spam.
Do not record voice channel conversations.

Discriminatory language and hate speech is forbidden.
Be respectful and welcoming – toxicity is not allowed.
Do not spam messages or emotes.
Do not ping Staff Members for no reason. should consider rewording this -- some people do ping staff for certain reasons. We should word this more around not pinging for useless shit. Replying to message pings us.
Do not mass mention by pinging more than 4 people at once – or randomly ping members. Tie this into the @everyone @here statement above. 4 rule I don't really see a problem here with -- what if someone is pinging 7 people in group flight (nothing wrong with that.)
Encouraging rule-breaking is an offense.
Do not flood chat by having messages exceed 7 lines on a computer screen. not sure this is necessary--if walls of text become a problem I think we can revisist.
