Rules of the Server, Forums, and Discord

(Please give these at least a quick read.)

1. We're a grown up community and we expect people to act like grown ups. If for whatever reason we feel you're not a positive addition, we reserve the right to ask you to leave. TL;DR: do as admins tell you, if you think they're being unreasonable or have an issue with it, take it up with an XA.

 

2. Please avoid discussing particularly objectionable or extreme topics. It makes people uncomfortable and we have a lot of players who hold or hope to hold sensitive jobs; any links drawn between them and these sorts of topics puts that at risk. Examples: alt-rightism, anti-vax movement, Fascism or Nazism, Communism, overly sexualized content, "NSFW" content, anything related to transsexuality or homosexuality (either for or against), etc. This includes being out-right cringey.

 

Note: Because of this, it means there’s a pretty high chance that the Forum/Discord is going to be reviewed repeatedly by a number of different governments. Let’s make all of our lives easier by keeping the content in here clean and safe.

 

3. Staff members are volunteers and should be treated with courtesy and respect. If you’re unhappy with how a staff member has treated you, please either address them privately, or, failing that, reach out to an Executive Admin.

 

4. On server, please follow the standard rules of serious roleplay: that means no death-matching, no using out of character information that your character wouldn't know (meta-gaming), and no power-gaming (which is writing your /me's and other actions in such a way that it forces your action another character without giving them any opportunity to react). Otherwise, the rule of common sense applies. If it’s something you know is stupid and shouldn’t be done, don’t do it. Most of us should know better.

 

5. If you hold a position of consequence (Staff, MI NCO, division XO/CO) and you intend on taking a period of long term LOA or leaving, please communicate that clearly, and consider resigning. 

 

We fully appreciate that people's interest in SSTRP ebbs and flows but it's important that positions of consequence are filled by people who are active and enthusiastic. If you leave in such a way that it allows us to smoothly transition, you'll be leaving on good terms with our gratitude and appreciation. If you don't, you'll be leaving the server in a worse state than you left it, we'll make sure you aren't in a position where you can do the server harm again.
