Banned and Restricted Topics

In order that everyone playing Dark Moon can have an enjoyable and safe time, we have lists of Banned and Restricted Topics that are not allowed in the main areas of the game.

The Banned Topics list for Dark Moon is as follows:

• Infanticide (i.e. the intentional killing of an infant - aged 12 months or less)

• Miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion and unwanted pregnancy

• Incest

• Sexual assault

• Sexual or sexualised activity involving people under the age of 18, or who appear to be under the age of 18, or who are played by players under the age of 18

• Real-world depictions of enduring, diagnosable mental illness or neurodivergence, unless portrayed by a player with that condition

You should not roleplay any of these topics within this game for any reason.

The Restricted Topics list for Dark Moon is as follows:

• Explicit depictions of sexual activity

• Visual nudity on screen

• Very explicit depictions of violence and gore

• Self-harm and suicide for reasons of poor mental health

• Discrimination based on real-world attributes (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc.)

• Alcohol, cigarettes, and real-world recreational drugs.

Roleplaying and discussion of Restricted Topics should be kept to the Restricted Topics channels, which all start with the letters rt, and should not take place at any in-person event. Access to the Restricted Topics channels is opt-in via the Restricted Topics Access Discord role, which is not available to any player under the age of 18 or any player banned from the role, and may otherwise be opted in and out of at any time. By opting into this role, you take on a responsibility to yourself and your fellow Restricted Topics Access players to check in with each other and handle your emotional safety. You are allowed to ban yourself from this role.

The Anti-Rules-Lawyer Policy

Just because a topic isn't on the Banned Topics list doesn't mean it wouldn't be there if the Head Ref decided to exhaustively comb through every possible extremely upsetting topic ever and categorise them all into a horrendous document twenty pages long while having an emotional breakdown. If it seems like it should definitely be banned, and it's not on the Restricted Topics list, it's probably banned.

Further guidance on acceptable conduct when playing with Restricted Topics can be found in the rt-rules channel within the Dark Moon Discord server.
