Crimes and Punitive Process

Discord Policies

All members within the Discord server must follow the policies laid out by the Community Moderation Team. In the event of a rule violation, depending on the severity, Foundation Personnel may also receive further punishment within their department(s) if seen as necessary.

Section 1: General Rules

Users should behave in a respectful and calm manner
- Acts of rudeness, prejudice, discrimination, and toxicity are not tolerated
Users should remain within Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines
- Violators will be banned immediately and reported to Discord Trust & Safety
  - Addendum:- Users can be punished for ToS violations that occurred anywhere on the platform, not just in SCP-F servers.
Profile content must be completely safe-for-work
- This disallows any sexual content and the like in profile pictures, about me's and statuses
Dangerous or illegal content is forbidden
- Do not post or promote malware, doxing, phishing, leaking, pirated content, or anything of the sort
Do not advertise external communities
- You may not advertise external communities through our group - this includes the DMs of our members
- If you are visible on the member list (within at least 2 pages), you may not have advertisements in your status
Do not attack a moderator's decision
- Moderation staff reserves the right to hand out punishments to those they feel have violated these policies. If you wish to make a complaint against a moderator or one of their decisions, please do so in the Lead Moderator's DMs instead of publicly calling them out or flaming them.

Section 2: Chat-Specific Rules

All topics should be completely safe-for-work (SFW)
- Not-safe-for-work (NSFW) themes should not be discussed
  - This includes any sort of sexual comments of any nature
Content should stay on-topic in their respective channels
- For example, only group-related content should be discussed in #related_chat
- If a channel has a format in place, use it - do not deviate from it
Be nice to other users
- Most of all, our server is meant to be an inclusive place for everyone to enjoy the SCP genre. Make an effort to be welcoming to new people, and treat others how you would like to be treated yourself
Speak English only
- This group is English-based, therefore we request that all users speak English to allow for easier and more effective moderation
Refrain from spamming or flooding chat
- This includes mic-spamming, making loud noises, using soundboards that are annoying/loud, pasting copypastas and messages with an unnecessary amount of characters which are designed to create a large gap in chat.
Inciting drama, arguments or fueling either of these is prohibited
- Take your drama to DMs - its not our job to facilitate it
Distasteful themes and controversial topics should not be brought to the server
- Topics and themes that are not appropriate for younger audiences or generally shouldn't be discussed are disallowed
- Generally controversial topics should not be discussed, this includes religion, politics, and things that may cause polarising views
Do not mislead users
- If a user has a question, refrain from purposefully trolling or misleading them. If you do not know the answer, do not reply
