| General Rules | |

| 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 | |
