- Don't be intentionally disruptive, bait out angry responses, or act in bad faith. Be respectful of all members, including helpers & staff, and follow their requests and instructions. Repeat instances of other rulebreaks will constitute violations of this rule as well.
- Intentionally trying to incite chaos or heated arguments (ragebaiting / trolling) or otherwise make other members visually uncomfortable and ignoring requests to stop may be grounds for an immediate removal from the server. Claiming something is a joke is not an excuse.
- Even when joking, don’t participate in hostility, bullying, arguing, elitism or harassment.
- Repeat instances of other rulebreaks will constitute violations of this rule as well.

- Statements about mocking/trivializing issues or otherwise making users uncomfortable, based on these characteristics, is prohibited.
- Reclaiming slurs is permitted in profiles (except in Display Names), but discussing or otherwise using slurs in-server is prohibited. Reclaims must be reasonably obvious as such and should not be attempting to incite heated discussions. The Hard R is not permitted.
- **Keep things family friendly. Don't discuss, post, reference or joke about sexually explicit, suggestive, or otherwise NSFW content. **
- References, jokes and media related to sexual content, body parts & activities are prohibited as these conversations can often trend towards more unsuitable discussions for a 13+ server. (For example,

Changed.- Jokes about characters or people in inappropriate or sexual contexts are prohibited.

Spoiler-tag and use content warnings when posting bloody, phobia-triggering, loud, flashing, or overstimulating media.
