Hey folks, This topic is for the staff team to communicate updates and announcements regarding the forum. It’s closed to replies but it will be automatically bumped whenever there’s an update. If there’s something pressing or a leader has a question or urgent information, they might post, but typically this will just be edited after the staff decide on a change. It’s maintained by our current staffs, who are: @gnihtemos (eiq), @NotYoyo, @Kai, and @Forest The TL4’s are: @turtle New or updated rules are bolded to indicate clearly what’s been edited. ### Announcements * * * **Current & New Announcements** > Streamyards are not allowed at all within the forum, chats, or DMs and PMs. This is a result of safety concerns and prior events that have concluded to an ultimate ban. > **Archived Announcements** > > > Please don’t assume the identity of other users in the community, even if they are not active on this forum. > > > > We now have a three strike rule that we use when deciding to ban users. For your first offense, you get a warning. For your second offense, you get silenced for up to a week. For a third offense, you get suspended for as long as the staff sees fit. Posting racial slurs and inappropriate sexual content, however, may just be an insta-ban. > > > > The #prodigygroupgeneralchat chat has been closed temporarily. There aren’t any plans to reopen it at the moment. > > > > The #prodigy-math::channel Chat will remain hidden, at the moment, due to people posting General messages in the wrong place. > > > > The chat has been reopened with the addition of Prodigy Math chat, so please stay appropriate and respectful. > > > > When chat is closed, please do not attempt to circumvent this by making new ones in personal messages. > > > > Also, please try not to message the moderators repeatedly if it’s for a small issue. You can continue to use one topic for that. It makes it easier for us to manage. Thanks! > > > > Posting links not relevant to the discussion is now allowed in chat. However, spamming said links is not. > > > > > [@Slim](#): > > > > > > @Probably_Hat is now a part of the moderators team. We received a lot of community feedback, and I myself looked into several users, but we all came to a conclusion with hat. ### Additional Rules * * * These rules are pulled from all official documentation on the forum. If we missed one or you have a suggestion or edit, you can message [@moderators](https://prodigy-game.discourse.group/groups/moderators) and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. > **Complete Rules** > > 1. No advertising or spamming content in either chat or public topics. > > 2. Cursing isn’t allowed. Attempting to circumvent this or posting swear words in a public context several times may result in a silence. Any racial slurs will result in a ban with no warning but are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. > > 3. Be kind. Debates and arguments are okay, but if they continue with users rehashing the same points or contain ad hominem attacks, they may be removed. > > 4. Don’t spam or revenge flag please. That makes moderator’s jobs harder, not easier. And flag for the correct reason. > > 5. Stay on topic. On this forum, that means only posting things related to the forum. You can post on topic forum-related guides, but if you’re unsure if something is allowed ask a moderator before posting. > > 6. Don’t ping people excessively and obey other user’s wishes@everyonein relation @everyoneitheveryoneith pings. Do not abuse @ here and [@everyone](https://prodigy-game.discourse.group/groups/everyone). > > 7. Moderators are here to help. Please don’t try to mini-mod, let them do their job, but don’t try to make things harder for them either. If you are having issues with a particular moderator, you can message [@admins](https://prodigy-game.discourse.group/groups/admins) or alternatively @Forest directly. > > 8. Don’t try to impersonate other people or single someone out with verbal attacks, and don’t reveal any personal information- yours or others. > > 9. Posting any inappropriate or derogatory content is not allowed, especially if it concerns another user. Please report unsafe messages to a staff member by flagging it. * * * ## Thanks for your help keeping this forum a good, safe place for everyone.
