Who this applies to
Everyone with an account, in every server, in direct messages, on profiles, and in anything a bot posts on your behalf. Running a server does not put anyone outside these rules.
Treat people like people
No harassment, threats, or sustained targeting. No hate speech, and no content that dehumanises people for who they are. Arguments happen; campaigns against a person do not belong here.
Keep it lawful
No content that sexualises minors, no credible threats of violence, no instructions for weapons or attacks, and nothing that exists to defraud people. If it would be a crime to send it in a message, it is a crime to send it here.
Adult content
Adult content belongs only in servers that are marked and gated for it. If you would not show it to a colleague unprompted, it does not belong in a general channel. Keep it out of avatars, banners, and server icons entirely - those are shown to people who did not ask.
Respect privacy
Do not post someone's address, phone number, workplace, or private messages. Do not record or stream a call without the other people knowing. A screenshot of a private conversation stays private.
No spam and no scams
No unsolicited bulk messages, no invite farming, no fake giveaways, no crypto pitches, and no links that exist to harvest a login. Cordia already throttles this automatically; doing it deliberately is still your responsibility.
Share what you have the right to share
Upload work you own or are licensed to share, and credit it when the licence asks you to. Repeat infringement gets an account removed.
Bots follow the same rules
A bot acts for its owner. If it spams, scrapes, or harasses, the account behind it answers for that. Rate limits are not a challenge.
If you run a server
You set the house rules, and you are responsible for enforcing them. Use the welcome screen to state them plainly, give people roles that match what they actually need, and remove members who will not follow them.
House rules can be stricter than these. They cannot permit what these forbid.
Enforcement
Depending on what happened and how often: a warning, a timeout, removal of the content, removal from a server, or suspension of the account. Anything that puts a person in immediate danger gets the account suspended first and questions asked after.
Appeals
If you think a decision was wrong, reply to the notice you were given and say why. A different person reviews it. Repeating the same appeal without new information will not change the answer.
Changes
When these change, the version at the top changes with them, and new accounts accept the current text. If a change is significant, existing accounts are asked to accept it again rather than having it applied silently.
