General Guidelines

This is a SFW server for every person with every background and age and we would like to make sure that everyone feels welcome here.
Therefore we ask you to stay away from any content that might offend people (including but not limiting to: Racism, threats, violence, NSFW Content, insults...).
We ask you to keep any discussion civil. You have a disagreement with someone? That's fine. However make sure to be civil about it and don't get personal.

Also remember to follow official Discord rules found here: https://discordapp.com/guidelines

Additional
Do not share private messages from staff (Mods / Admins).
Do not discuss forum bans here.
If you see a Capital Rule breach, please report it by clicking "Contact Support" on the front page or "Contact Cantr Departments" near the top of your player page.

Capital Rule
The Capital Rule must be respected in the forums as well in Discord. This means that no in-game information may be revealed in the forums, including maps, resource locations, details about movements of living characters and ongoing events, identity of other players' characters, and any other information which can affect the gameplay of others. To guarantee fair gameplay the Four Day Rule about ongoing events is also enforced and guided (It is not allowed to discuss events Out Of Character with other players that might influence any ongoing action). Even concluded events such as character deaths may not be discussed OOC in the forums, IRC, or private communications for a minimum of Four days. This is known as the Four Day Rule.)

Warnings and bannings
Policies on warnings and bannings apply to breaking forum and Discord rules similarly as with Game Rules.
That is, other than accounts that clearly exist only to spam (now very rare due to the requirement to have a player account), forum accounts will only be banned under the following conditions:

• The player has already received a warning related to the infraction for which they are being banned. In this warning, they were told that a future infraction may result in a ban.
• In emergency or on-going situations, individual members of the Communications Team or Game Administration Board may kick members from Discord or ban for up to one week. The Communications Team should be informed.
• Forum and Discord accounts are typically banned for only one week.
• Forum accounts and Discord accounts should be unbanned after two weeks without GAB approval.
• Even with GAB approval, accounts are unbanned after 6 months, unless the player continues to break the rules on the forum or Discord, resulting in timed extensions to their banning.
