Chat rules

*'''#3:''' '''Show respect for others'''. Joking and shitposting are fine as long as you make it clear it's a joke or a shitpost, as per Poe's Law.
**'''3a. No tolerance for intolerance.** ''' DO NOT be caught doing any of the following (including, but not limited to): Trolling, bashing/flaming, racial or discriminatory epithets (this includes the [R-slur https://www.specialolympics.org/stories/impact/why-the-r-word-is-the-r-slur R-slur]), insults and/or personal attacks aimed at another user, overly inflammatory content of any kind, or anything the staff may construe as disrespectful or harmful in general.
**'''3b. We are not a venting soapbox.''' While we don't mind anyone discussing most subjects within reason, we do not need hundreds of posts about every last detail of your personal or intimate life. If it stops being a discussion and if it starts looking like a huge vent, you must stop. If you must vent to someone, do it in DMs. Acts of overt negativity, outrage, emotional ranting, or impotent rage, no matter how justified, also are not acceptable.
**'''3c. Do not display your dirty laundry'''. We don't want to hear about your problems in other servers with people that are not part of our community. Please do not share chatlogs from other servers or private discussions, with the intention of insulting, slandering, or otherwise causing trouble. If you absolutely must post a chat log to illustrate a point, censor the names.
**'''3d. No backseat modding'''. Do not argue or show off your knowledge of the rules to a rulebreaker. Ping the staff
*'''#4:''' It is '''absolutely forbidden''' to abuse any of our services (Discord server, wiki, bots, etc.) for any behavior resembling any of the following: '''Evasion of staff decisions, personal (e-begging), commercial or religious solicitation, posting links to other Discord servers without explicit authorization from staff, sharing of private information (see below), or any other unsolicited behavior (any behavior construed as "spam").'''
** In particular, we have a '''zero tolerance for the sharing of private personal information''', for any reason whatsoever, unless under two specific exemptions: it's your own, or it's easily and publicly available (and only if doing so wouldn't break our rules or Discord TOS). We consider chat logs and screenshots of private conversation to count as personal information.
*'''#5:''' Each of our channels has a specific purpose; please try to keep relevant activity on their respective channels. In particular:
Bureaucrat, administrator
