Server Guidance

• For @Support Staff & @Moderation Staff roles

Responsibility

• No misuse or abuse of permissions (e.g., randomly disconnecting, muting, or moving others in voice channels).
• For staff, instead of resigning, request @Administrative Leave. You're not a slave and should prioritize your problems. This does not mean abusing administrative leave to avoid your duties.
• It's your responsibility to take care of your account and identity. Best practices:
  • Do not click on random links.
  • Avoid downloading unnecessary software, especially free or suspicious ones.
  • Steer clear of software by individuals hostile towards COI or its principles.

Maturity & Morals

• Avoid indulging in widely inappropriate jokes or conversations (e.g., pedophilia).
• Avoid large-scale arguments—not every action needs a reaction.
• You are the example: be mature, respectful, and abide by the server rules in chats and voice channels.
• Avoid roleplaying as a creep or weirdo, even for entertainment. Jokes do not mask negative judgment.

Integrity

• Respect the privacy and confidentiality of others (e.g., DMs, private information shared in tickets or private messages).
• Be loyal to the Cult of Intellect:
  • For staff: this means not working for other communities.
  • For helpers: this means not using your power to undermine COI.

Reasonability & Leverage

• For staff: unless there is a strong violation of a rule, avoid punishing members.
• Be reasonable with the punishments you give (e.g., mute times, ban lengths, warns).
  • Exception: NSFW violations.
