Beacons of Hope Chat Rules
1) Courtesy and respect must always be shown when you are
speaking with your fellow chat participants. Any and all
criticism should be given in a polite and constructive manner.
2) No swearing. Allowed words are ass, crap, damn, and hell.
Bastard is allowed in the limited context of describing a sword
or a person's familial status, but is not allowed to be used in
a derogatory sense.
3) No excessive use of swear words- even those that are allowed.
Present leaders in chat may decide when swearing has become
excessive.
4) No ranting. A rant is defined here as an angry and one-sided
conversation about a person, place, or thing.
5) No inappropriate content. Our chat room maintains a PG-13
rating, so this includes sexually explicit content, excessively
violent or gory imagery, and content promoting the practice of
unhealthy behaviors (such as the abuse of drugs or alcohol). It
also includes racist, sexist, or derogatory comments. This rule
extends to any links posted in chat. If you're unsure if a link
or topic is appropriate, PM leadership to ask.
6) Conversation must be dropped if a chat participant feels
uncomfortable with the subject matter. No exceptions.
7) No spam in chat. This includes but is not limited to posting
over five links in chat without sufficient context. It also
includes (but is not limited to) five or more uninterrupted chat
messages created in succession within the span of a few minutes.
8) Respect the privacy of your fellow clan-mates. No screenshots
or logs of the chat, or happenings therein are to be shared
outside of the chat, posted on social media, or shared in any
non-Beacon associated platform without the expressed consent of
all of those that appear in, or are referenced in the shared
content.
9) Harassment is not tolerated. Harassment is defined here as
aggressive or disrespectful behavior with the purpose of
manipulating or otherwise harming other members of chat. No
means no. End of discussion.
10) As we are a Gaming Clan, we do expect all our members to
participate in some form of gaming. While you are not required
to join in on every game that members play, please do not
discourage others from playing or emphasize that you do not
participate in their chosen game.
Punishment may vary depending on the severity of the situation
at hand. This includes but is not limited to:
Warning: 1-2 Weeks
Severe Warning: 3-4 Weeks
Kicking (Temporary removal from chat)
Banning (Permanent removal from chat)
Both kicks and bans will be handled on a case by case basis.
Punishments are also not always distributed in order of
severity. For example, a bad enough first offence can be met
with a kick or severe warning, rather than a normal warning.
Punishments may be appealed with leadership in certain
circumstances.
Chat specific Rules:
Members in chat are allowed to occasionally bring
guests/significant others, as long as 1) the guest follows chat
rules and 2) the member gets permission from leaders
