Hey all!

A small reminder: While we appreciate everyone's commitment to making this server a safe space, we have noticed some instances of 'mini-modding' by members of the Community who are not official GL or Dreamlight Moderators. In the efforts to prevent any hostility within the server, please make sure that any guidance provided is done so with kindness and respect. If you notice that conversations are becoming hostile, or extremely off-topic, do not hesitate to reach out to our team by tagging <@&994257677192536106> or <@&963826351872294912> roles.

Also, please keep all uses of tagging roles to events that need Community Manager or Moderator intervention. Comments regarding bugs, issues, and feedback should not tag roles/accounts directly, and should instead be placed in appropriate channels such as #1019676691603402792 , #1102660976983150712 , and #discord-server-feedback. Thank you!

RULE 1: KEEP IT RESPECTFUL

🚫 Bigotry, hate speech, bullying and harassment are not tolerated here. Regardless of intent, behaviors that marginalize others will be acted on, and violators of this rule (on or off this server) may be banned without warning. This extends to respecting Dreamlight Moderators as well.

🚫 No political or religious conversations.

🚫 Users who actively attempt to circumvent the rules or moderation decisions will be treated as violating the rule they are circumventing.

🚫 Any guidance provided is to be done so with kindness and respect. If you notice that conversations are becoming hostile do not hesitate to reach out to our team by contacting us via the @ModMail bot, or pinging either the @Dreamlight Moderator or @GL Moderator role.

🚫 Public call outs are not permitted in the server.

🚫 No targeting of a specific member in hopes of getting them punished/removed from the server. All reports will be looked into by the Moderation team and appropriate action will be taken. If you do not get along with another member, please consider using the Discord block function.

🚫 Discussion of blocking/being blocked by other users within our public channels is not permitted.

🚫 Do not disclose private correspondences, personal information, or others' personal information. This includes conversations with Gameloft employees, Community Managers and Moderators.

🚫 Sharing/Requesting Gamertags, Player ID's, QR codes, Documents/PDFs, or DreamTeams and Multiplayer Codes within the server is not permitted.

🚫 Do not contact other Community members via Direct Message/Friend Request without their express permission.

🚫 Flashing imagery of more than 2 flashes per second are banned due to safety concerns; even spoilered, the flashing remains visible and animated on some clients.

🚫 While flagging content is allowed, drawing prolonged attention to rule breaks is not. Alluding to moderation actions/rules breaks directly or indirectly is not allowed, and may be viewed as circumventing server rules.

🚫 Remain respectful of the company. This means nothing defamatory against Gameloft, its employees, the moderators, or the volunteers within this Discord. This extends to not organizing and encouraging boycotts, petitions, or suggesting other players uninstall their game out of frustration.

🚫 Moderation decisions are not to be debated or complained about publicly. Moderation actions will only be discussed privately with those affected.

RULE 2: KEEP IT FOCUSED

✅ Understand the purpose of this server and how you’re using it! This is a public Discord server for talking about the video game Disney Dreamlight Valley, so moderators will redirect behavior elsewhere if it doesn’t use the space for that purpose.

✅ The officially supported language of this Discord Server is English. We kindly request that all conversations and posts be conducted in English. The exception to this rule is #share-your-ddlv-content, where content featuring other languages may be shared so long as it follows all other rules.

✅ Behaviors appropriate for this server:

• Talking about and asking questions about Disney Dreamlight Valley

• Sharing your experiences with Disney Dreamlight Valley

• Disney Dreamlight Valley fan created content

• Suggestions/speculation/constructive feedback for Disney Dreamlight Valley Content and Features

• Non-Disney Dreamlight Valley related content is permitted in Off-topic.

🚫 Behaviors not suited for this space:

• Spam. Avoid repeatedly posting the same content in a short period of time. Limit image sharing to 9 images per post.

• Antagonizing other fans over their opinions/suggestions/feedback

• Participating in clique-like behavior. While non-exhaustive, this can include favoritism/ostracism of other community members, and off-hand and/or elusive comments that without the context of group/insider knowledge do not make sense within the content of the conversation.

• Treating Discord members who frequent other channels as separate communities or inferior to common contributors of other channels.

• Mental health crises. Volunteer Moderators are not qualified to coach you through them or provide meaningful assistance. If you require help, we urge you to check out https://safeinourworld.org/find-help/ for a list of resources by country.

• Doomposting (political or otherwise). There is a line between finding comfort in your community vs sharing potentially triggering content with others who may also be adversely affected without warning or permission.

• Marketing, promotion, advertising or soliciting products or services for sale or trade within the Discord server. This also applies to self-promotion for non-commercial initiatives. We also ask that you do not share other Discord server invites.

RULE 3: KEEP IT CLEAN

🚫 No explicit or inappropriate content. This includes, but is not limited to, NSFW content, content featuring nudity, violence, gore, drugs or alcohol.

🚫 This is a family friendly server; avoid “mature” content.

🚫 Examples of topics that cannot be discussed

• Explicit sexual content
• Discussing/visualizations of bodily functions
• Drug use and substance abuse
• Links to 18+ spaces without an all-ages space, regardless of content present
• GIFs/Emotes/Stickers featuring explicit language or imagery
• Romancing official characters

🚫 For safety purposes, we do not allow the use of masked links within the server.

When in doubt, you can DM @ModMail to check before posting.

RULE 4: KEEP IT TO ONE ACCOUNT

🚫 We do not allow the use of multiple Discord accounts by one person (also known as sockpuppeting) on this server.

🚫 We do not allow for the impersonation of other user profiles.

RULE 5: KEEP IT MYSTERIOUS

🚫 Many details of Disney Dreamlight Valley are intentionally hidden from players as a key part of the life-sim/adventure game experience. Any spoilers regarding content should be contained to #spoiler-chat, or use spoiler tags. Discord members should be aware that channels under the Community Help category may also feature more spoiler-heavy content as well.

🚫 Information about time-locked event/content gained by data-mining or altering your device's clock (time-skipping) is not permitted in the server.

🚫 Game information that has been data-mined, leaked, stolen and or found through unreleased means is not permitted. This also extends to cheats, malicious mods, game exploits and "treasure valleys". We ask that you refrain from discussing these topics as they pertain to other games as well.

=====CONTACT======
