First Five Rules

1. Be nice and fun.

This includes being positive, respectful, and mature. Emphasis on respect.

We have zero tolerance for negative behaviors including but not exclusive to the following:

Drama, rudeness, selfishness, narcissism, toxicity, racism, sexism, repeatedly interrupting people.

Keep it civil and polite. We get together to have fun with nice people.

If there is conflict, resolve it privately if possible first, then resume group discussions and activities.

Do not argue with moderators or any management or leadership. Respect their decisions as final.

If there is a concern pertaining to the behavior of someone with a lead role, reach out to their senior.

If having a bad day and unable to follow the rules, then step away for a bit and come back later.

2. Keep it clean.

Family-friendly discussions. We're all adults; we still keep it clean.

Text chat:

Tone of voice is lost in text and makes it difficult to tell if someone is joking or serious: be clear and polite.

Voice chat:

Voice chat may include swear words used in moderation and in positive contexts (not offending users).

Streaming:

Use Cloud 9 Chat to screen share Star Citizen and family-friendly games any time. We do not use web cams.

All forms of communication:

Do not talk about politics, religion, or similarly controversial topics.

Any 2 people may discuss anything they wish; these rules apply to group settings with 3 or more people.

3. Stay on topic.

Discussions must be relevant:

• All things Cloud 9.

• Official information directly from CIG.

• Official information directly from dev sources for various online games.

The 'verse life and real life are separate. Do not ask others about their real life info.

Do not discuss sexuality, identity, identification, or any potentially personal or private information.

Do not ask potentially real life information about anybody.

No violating the privacy of others. No piracy. No breaking terms/agreements.

Do not buy, sell, or trade items or anything involving real money or comparable currencies.

4. No redirects.

We are here to be here, not to be redirected to other places.

Help build Cloud 9 groups by using Cloud 9 channels for Cloud 9 topics.

We meet in Cloud 9 Chat, join voice, launch into the 'verse and various online games for Cloud 9 activities.

We contribute by participating in and discussing our activities and by creating and sharing our content.

Anybody can find other places, let them find them on their own.

Do not discuss, promote, or post links to other orgs, chat servers, youtubers, or streamers.

Some web services, including reddit and twitch, are on a third party ban list.

Seek permission before sharing external links. There are no exceptions for services on the ban list.

5. Be fluent in English.

All channels are in English unless otherwise specified.

Multilingual channels are available. Each channel includes English.

Additional channels may be added if two or more users know additional languages.
