Sometimes, people don't know how to be online. They don't know how to protect their identity, and they don't know what to do when somebody does something that makes them feel uncomfortable. We want to remedy that in our community and make sure everyone feels safe.
Sildoria Code of ConductOnline Safety ResourcesWe don't go in for large documents with lots of rules, so here are the three main tenants of our community broken out where you can see them easily. However, if you need to see the long document with everything spelled out point by point, you can read our Terms and Conditions, linked in the footer of the page.
We expect that your interactions with others will be respectful and not harmful to either party. Flaming, trolling, baiting, and other such behaviors are not welcome in Sildoria and are the quickest way to find yourself disinvited from our space.
We expect that you do not spam our platforms. Do not post excessively large images in our Discord channels, upload space-consuming files to the wiki with no intention of using them, or otherwise be detrimental to platform health.
When you make mistakes, we expect that you own them. Evading punishments will simply result in the punishments becoming worse. The administrative team will deal with problematic behavior if and when it arises, no matter who it is.
Don't give out personally identifying information (PII) on the internet. Nobody needs to know your name, address, phone number, school, or where you work. Even if they say you can trust them, it's not worth the risk.
Photos are dangerous. Don't share photos that contain recognizable landmarks, street signs, buildings, or other identifying items. Additionally, photos often contain EXIF data, which can be geotagged.
Don't click on suspicious links. Any link shared with you that uses a URL shortener should be questioned — there is no good reason to shorten a URL. QR codes should also be treated as suspect for the same reason.
Read through the privacy policy of whatever platform you choose to use. If they don't have one, ask why. Find out what they do with your data before you give it to them, whether it's collected for advertising, or sold outright.
Be aware of individuals who may be interested in inappropriate relationships with you, especially if you are a minor. Report those individuals to the Sildoria moderation team, and if it occurs on Discord, Discord Trust and Safety.
Practice digital hygiene. Routinely scrub PII from your messages after conversations are over if you feel you overshared. Don't leave pictures of RL locations up on the internet for longer than necessary.
