CS Code of Conduct

Cerberus Solutions requires that all members and applicants abide by our Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct is built on the principles of respect, tolerance, and maturity. We expect all members to be able to demonstrate these principles.

Cerberus as a whole encourages and trends towards dark and mature roleplay. Different guilds under the Cerberus umbrella will have different themes and emphases; however, themes of violence, sexuality, psychological horror, and moral ambiguity should be expected. It is your responsibility to know your limits within these themes, and respect the limits of others.

 

The Do's

Be nice, respect people, stay active (or tell us if you can't be), stay within legal limits of things, and respect your game's Terms of Service.

• As a member of CS you are expected to:
  • Be over 18. In addition, all characters MUST be physically and emotionally adults for their species.
  • Respect other people. This includes tolerate people with differing views from your own, and using spoiler / NSFW / trigger warnings as appropriate.
  • Respect people's privacy. This includes getting permission before posting chat logs or conversations, and not asking for personal information, pictures, etc. that isn't volunteered.
  • Be aware of, and encourage, IC/OOC separation. Good RP can often have OOC emotional impact, but it’s your responsibility to manage this. IC conflict is never an excuse for OOC conflict, and vice versa.
  • Avoid drama for the sheer sake of drama, especially OOC. Drama belongs in stories, not in our forums/chat.
  • Be prepared to ask questions if you're unsure about something, and be prepared to say if you see something that is unacceptable
  • Keep active, and log in to the forums/game at least once every few weeks, or alert us that you’ll be absent.
  • Strive to be open, welcoming, and courteous with the wider game communities; your behaviour as a CS member reflects on our entire guild. This includes respecting the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct of whichever games you play.
  • Be responsible with the use of any social media (such as any IC Twitter accounts), and adhere to those services’ Codes of Conduct.

The Don'ts

As a member of CS, you agree that you will not:

• Harass, bully or threaten other players in any form.*
• Use harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language.*
• Espouse racist, anti-religious, anti-ethnic, or other hate-mongering philosophy.*
• Select a character name that is offensive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable; or that references famous persons, historical figures, or fictional characters.
• Repost, divulge or otherwise reproduce RP logs, chat logs or similar material without the express permission of those involved.
• Post adult material, of any kind, to public game spaces, forums, or chat channels.
• Start or promote conflict with other players just for the sake of it.
• Use Cerberus or its affiliated guilds as a forum for political, partisan, religious or social justice issues. This is not the place for that.
  • We do have a section on our discord for NSFW that does delve into divisive and nuanced conversations, but all members who participate are expected to treat each other with respect even as they are free to disagree with each other
• Otherwise bring the guild into disrepute, by word or deed.

 

* There is a difference between OOC and IC actions of threatening, harassment, offensive language, and racism or inflammatory political viewpoints.

 

We roleplay in mature settings, and these things are often part of our characters lives. It is up to you to make clear to others what is IC and what is OOC, to take ownership of the IC consequences of playing an abrasive or abusive character, and to work with and communicate with others to respect their boundaries and limits regarding such play. Consult with leadership if you aren't sure or need advice on how to safely do so.

 

Leadership Responsibilities

Cerberus-affiliated guild leadership will:

• Be active and engaged in the guild that they run.
• Strive to present decisions that affect their guild in an open, transparent, and inclusive way.
• Seek consensus on major decisions, wherever possible.
• Govern and seek to resolve conflicts in a balanced, fair, and compassionate manner.
• Be open to suggestions for improvement, and offer suggestions to others.
• Communicate regularly with Cerberus metaguild leadership.

 

Cerberus metaguild leadership will, in addition:

• Provide mentorship and advice for players and guildleads.
• Assist in organization and promotion of cross-game activity.
• Serve as final line of resolution for decisions and conflicts if necessary.
