Code of Conduct

**Total Party Chill Community and Game(s) Code of Conduct**

**Overview:**

TotalPartyChill’s Discord is a safe place where everyone is welcome to chat, chill, play games, and have fun.

If you need to report a Code of Conduct violation...

**Please contact TotalPartyChill moderators**: BaloosClues (BaloosClues#2214), BioTrecko (trecko#9149), KiwiSanctuary (Kiwi#2576), or vindica\_Sean (curlyirish#1389)

**Basic Rules:**

* All Discord members are to be respectful of one another.
* Do not put others down or shame them.
* There is zero tolerance for hate of any kind - this means no racism, no sexism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no classism, no xenophobia, no ableism, no hate.

**Expect…**

● Everyone in this community is to be kind to each other, to apologize for inadvertent mistakes, to exhibit adult behavior, to avoid spoilers, and to take responsibility for their own actions.

● People treat the DM and the other players kindly and with respect.

● Folks to know their own boundaries and to politely assert them.

● DMs and players adapt the game to respect other people’s boundaries.

● Everyone respects and be tolerant of other people, their in-game choices, and their characters.

● People to avoid excessively vulgar, sexual, or overly mature language and themes and to be aware of the maturity levels and sensitivities of your group.

● Ask questions and speak up if there’s something going on that you are unhappy with.

● Work together so all players have a great time.

**Please Be Polite**

● Follow the DMs lead and avoid arguing over rules.

● Avoid excessive cross-talk that is not relevant to the adventure being played.

**What Is Not Acceptable**

● Racism, sexism, homophobia, religious slurs, ethnic slurs, and other forms of bigotry.

● Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, age, regional discrimination, political, or religious affiliation.

● Espousing racist, anti-religious, anti-ethnic, or other hate-mongering philosophy.

● Inappropriate and non-consensual physical contact and unwelcome sexual attention. This includes, sexualized comments or jokes as well as inappropriate touching, groping, and unwelcome sexual advances.

● Stalking, cyberstalking, or unwanted attention. If someone tells you to go away and never talk to them again then leave them alone.

● Violence or threats of violence. This includes bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, physical or verbal threats, intimidation, griefing, and harmful, threatening, or abusive language.

● Cheating.

● Theft.

● Lewd or generally offensive language, conduct, profanity, or gestures.

● Disruptive behavior.

● Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behavior.

**What You Should Do**

● If you see unacceptable behavior, and if you feel safe doing so, plainly state to the other person to stop. If they do not cease after being told to stop, alert the TotalPartyChill moderators (contact information is on Page 1).

● If someone asks you to please stop unacceptable behavior, then stop. It was likely unintentional and a brief apology will set things right.

**What We Will Do**

● The moderators and DM are empowered to ask you to stop unwanted behavior, or to ask you to leave the game.

● Other spaces may disinvite you if you do not abide by the code of conduct. The TTRPG/Gaming community is a small world and news of bad behavior travels quickly.

By engaging in our community, you agree to adhere to the above code of conduct.
