Community Guidelines

This is a list of the community guidelines members in the community must follow in order to create a safe and behaved  environment for other users. Breaking these rules will result in consequences to the fullest extent.

Respect

You must have respect for everyone on the ZAYS, despite your past grudges. You may not explicitly target people, and you should never discriminate based on another’s sex, religion, or race.

Harassment / Bullying

Harassment is against the rules in ZAYS and is also against Discords Community Guidelines. Harassment is not tolerated and can lead to a kick or ban. There are multiple types of harassment including, (sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, hate speech towards an individual), etc. Sexual harassment is an IP ban, and we will report you to Discords Trust and Safety Team. Bullying can lead to a restriction, kick or ban depending on the actions you commit. Bullying is not tolerated on ZAYS and no player who is a member of ZAYS shall feel uncomfortable or feel they are being bullied. This also includes telling someone to do the following, (hurt themselves in any type of manner) Including joking about suicide or even telling someone to commit suicide. Telling someone to hurt themselves can lead to serious actions taken by the staff team and you can be restricted from up to 72 hours, kicked or banned.

Mention Policy

Members can become really upset with people mentioning them for things they don’t have anything in relation to them, as it distracts them from their normal lives and constantly notifies them for no reason. Due to this, we’ve created a policy for mentioning people. Do not mention the owner for no exact reason or something that isn’t important. You have the right to report a player by DMing a Staff Member. No need to ping them again. If you ever get the chance to mention roles with over 100 members such as a ZAYS Announcement role, do not mention them without prior permission. If you do so you can be Timed Out with an appeal option or banned with an appeal option. Please don’t ghost ping. Always ping members with reasons.

13+ Policy

Discord has set a policy that certain features in Discord should only be for 13+ and children under 13 shouldn’t use the platform. ZAYS remains a safe platform for everyone so we let the Discord Moderation team take hold of situations in that, but for the safety of our Discord Servers, individuals under the age of 13 cannot become a high-ranking individual. This includes the Staff Team, Community Managers, and Developers. We do this for the safety of the ZAY Network and mean no harm to anyone that might be under the age of 13. Please be truthful about your age.

Direct Messages

Do not leak any Direct Messages within the ZAYS Network. If someone is harassing you in your DMs and you’d like to report it to a Moderator, do not broadcast any DMs on the ZAYS Network without the other user's consent.
