Etiquette

1. Starting or spreading harmful rumors about the bot, causing unneccessary drama within our servers about the bot, or witch-hunting staff members are all ban/blacklist-worth behaviour.

Sharing Exploits

User-bots, Spamming, Auomation, and Macros

1. Usage of user-bots, macros, scripts, auto-typers, or anything else enabling automation of commands is not allowed. In addition, massive amounts of command/button spam are not allowed and will result in a bot ban/blacklist.

4. No nicknames designed to annoy, insult, or impersonate other users.
5. Do not change your nickname to hoist yourself to the top of the member list.

Alternate Accounts

1. Alternate account usage is allowed in all circumstances except to circumvent a bot ban/blacklist.
2. The alternate accounts must follow the same rules as any actual user, and if you break a rule on an alt, we will ban all associated accountss we deem as likely alts/mains.

Infractions

We generally follow a two-strike policy for our rules. If you notice someone breaking them, please mention or DM a staff member and we’ll deal with it as soon as we can.

Possible actions we take include:

• A public verbal warning
• A formal bot warning
• A short temporary mute
• A long temporary mute
• A kick from the server
• A temporary ban from the server
• A permanent ban from the server

While serious infractions are discussed internally before a punishment is given, simpler infractions are dealt with by individual staff members and the punishment they hand out is left to their own discretion.
