➤ Visitors, Members, and Moderators are to be treated with mutual respect and common decency.

➤ Personal drama is to be kept out of the server.

➤ Harassment, bullying, or discrimination against any other Member will not be tolerated.

➤ Be mindful and conscientious about your contributions to the chatroom. Avoid negative, targeted, or disruptive behavior.

- Extensive Complaining

- Combative/Argumentative Attitudes
- Fishing for Compliments
- Self-Deprecation to Generate Pity/Attention
- Passive Aggressive Remarks

➤ Avoid discussing uncomfortable topics. Be conscientious of others when conversing in the server. Use your best judgment for what constitutes sensitive or uncomfortable topics. If others in the chatroom aren’t enjoying the direction of conversation, consider changing the topic before the Moderators step in and do it for you.

➤ To insure that the chatroom retains a safe environment, the server has a designated emoji for topic changing purposes. This emoji is only to be used in situations where one is uncomfortable with a topic being discussed and would like the conversation to shift without being questioned.

➤ Be mindful of what you are posting and where. Keep content in the correct server channels and read their descriptions. If you aren’t sure if something is appropriate to share, keep it in DMs.

➤ Spoilers for media such as video games, movies, tv shows etc. require a spoiler tag for a two month period post release date. Once the two months have passed you are not required to spoiler tag it.

➤ Advertising other roleplay groups or servers is discouraged. Sharing or discussing content from your outside interests is perfectly fine, but unsolicited advertising of other platforms is to be avoided in the server.

➤ Do not be afraid to ask any questions, but before you do double check any relevant material to see if your question is answered there. If you are still unable to locate an answer, the Moderator Team is here for you.

➤ The Moderator Team is made up of volunteers. We request you give us a week’s grace period for any updates, changes, or edits in group functions. If it has been more than a week since you completed an action that requires a Moderator, feel free to give us a reminder in case something got lost.

➤ Please update us to any username changes or account moving! We want to make sure we keep your inventories and our corresponding documents updated.

➤ Avoid directing group specific questions/concerns to one singular Moderator. The Moderator Team functions as a whole and is here to help everyone. Send notes to the group on dA, or post your concerns in the appropriate server channels rather than DMing the Moderators’ personal accounts.

➤ If you have a concern you would like to discuss in private or feel more comfortable bringing up an issue with a specific Moderator, we are happy to make arrangements for you.

➤ There are no activity checks in the group, only interest checks. If you are unable to meet an interest check we soft lock your inventory and group participation till you are able to meet the requirements to be a fully active member again.

➤ If you are considering taking a break from group activities you are able to go on hiatus. Your inventory will not be locked, but you will be barred from participating in group events and activities. You may come off of hiatus whenever you wish. In general, a hiatus/group break should only be requested when you would like to go three weeks or more without participating in the group.

➤ To request to be added to the NSFW Channel, you must first be a group Member. The chatroom is locked by default for everyone. Please ask for the designated roll if you so desire.

➤ Moderate sexual content is allowed in the server, such as dirty jokes, sexual subjects, or sexual themes. Characters and Members may discuss such topics in public chats, but it cannot be in explicit detail. This meaning you are not to describe or roleplay sexual acts in the chatroom.

➤ Members may post and share mildly sexual and/or mature content to the group in the designated NSFW chatroom. It must be accompanied by designated content warning(s) for what is being shared.

➤ Drawings displaying a character’s genitalia or character(s) engaging in explicit sexual acts should be spoiler tagged and posted with a content warning. Visible breasts and/or nipples do not require a spoiler tag.

➤ Drawing tutorials that are being used for drawing references are allowed to be shared. Any images displaying genitalia still need to be spoiler tagged and posted with their respective content warning(s). Photos of real people that display genitalia should not be posted.

➤ Do not share photos of yourself in a sexual context in the NSFW chats.

➤ We ask that heavy kinks/fetishes are treated with care. The Moderator team will decline characters if we suspect they are solely a fetish character, meaning a character created for the explicit purpose of being sexualized only.

➤ Characters may have kinks and fetishes, so long as the particular kink or fetish is not illegal or abusive.

➤ If a particular fetish or kink makes many people uncomfortable, the Moderator Team will bar that topic completely from being discussed in the server.

➤ Consent is our number one priority here, if someone does not wish to engage with a fellow Member or character in a sexual manner they have every right to do so, and should not be harassed or bullied for their boundaries. There are other people sharing the same space as you, and have every right to feel comfortable in said space.

➤ Pedophillia or Zoophillia will not be tolerated. Characters, animals, and real people that are underage, meaning under 18 years of age, are not to be sexualized or mentioned in the NSFW chatroom. MoA will not accept people into the group if we have reason to suspect they may be pedophiles or zoophiles.

➤ Topics that fall under the category of sexual abuse, or abuse in general, must be treated with the upmost care. You must have consideration for other chatroom members. Please provide adequate trigger warnings when sharing roleplay content that contain this theme, artwork that is explicitly portraying this event is not allowed in the chat at all. Please keep general discussion of such themes out of the chats.

➤ You may discuss themes of sexual abuse it if it pertains to your character in the NSFW chatroom so long as you provide adequate trigger warnings and spoiler tag the triggering portions. The Moderators ask you to not go into heavy detail, and to keep things as respectful and brief as possible.

➤ If you wish to explore this topic, it should only be with characters. If you have gone through sexual abuse yourself, we share our deepest sympathies with you, but we ask you to keep triggering personal content out of the chatroom.

➤ Moderators will put Members on NSFW chat probation if they are disregarding these rules or are making other chat participants uncomfortable.

➤ Heavy topics and content can be triggering to other individuals. As such, the server provides a chatroom dedicated to the discussion of character based sensitive topics.

However, you still must use trigger warnings and spoiler tag triggering portions so other chat members may decide what they do and do not wish to engage with.

➤ Mature themes will be explored in the group due to the 18+ rating, but proper warnings for these topics will always be given. If these themes make you uncomfortable, we advise you to consider whether or not this group would be a good fit for you.

➤ If roleplays, Member run or group event, touch on a sensitive subject matter, adequate content warnings and trigger warnings must be given in order for the roleplay to be allowed in the server chatrooms. If something gets too intense, Moderators may step in and ask you to take the roleplay to DMs.

➤ Moderators will put Members on Sensitive Topic chat probation if they are disregarding these rules or are making other chat participants uncomfortable.

➤ All members participating in a roleplay must respect the boundaries, plans, and intended outcomes of all other parties involved in the roleplay.

➤ If a roleplay is already underway in a chatroom and you would like to join in, please ask the other participants if it is alright for you to do so first.

➤ If you would like to add drama to a roleplay be sure that the other participants are okay with the direction you are wishing to take the roleplay. Don’t add drama just for drama’s sake.

➤ If something is getting a bit too dramatic, Moderators may step in and ask the participants to simmer down, or to take the roleplay to dms.

➤ Members and Moderators are expected to separate their personal feelings from the feelings of their characters. It is very inappropriate to use your character to push an agenda/ideology, bully another member, or to use your character as a puppet to voice OOC implications or feelings. This is classified as harassment, and will not be tolerated.

➤ Powerplaying and/or god-modding is not allowed and will not be tolerated.

➤ If a Member has established a reputation of barging into other’s roleplays, being inconsiderate, ignoring boundaries, or disregarding any rules here, a suspension from the roleplay chats may be given by the Moderator Team.

➤ While sensitive topics may be explored in the roleplay chatrooms, you are required to provide adequate trigger warnings. If something gets too heavy, Moderators may step in and ask you to take the roleplay to DMs.

➤ Members are required to write in a literary style when participating in official group events and roleplays. Meaning you must write in full sentences compared to a script based style.

➤ Consider “@”-ing the person you are roleplaying with in order for them to easily follow your posts in the server.

➤ Use the OOC chatroom to communicate with your roleplay partners. This helps keep the roleplay chatrooms clear of any OOC talk.

➤ The Moderators are free to close and reopen chatrooms that have ongoing roleplays in them if they have been idle for three days. You are welcome to continue any closed roleplays in DMs.

➤ Sometimes roleplays don’t go as planned, or some sort of miscommunication happens. Talk with your roleplay partners or with the Moderators if some sort of unwanted issue pops up.

➤ Please make sure to read the provided resources and documents carefully, don’t be afraid to ask questions if you have any.

➤ To submit your new character for approval, all you need to do is post a link to your characters application in the App Submission chatroom on the Discord server. A moderator will get back to you if any edits or changes are needed.

➤ Once you submit your request to join the group, or submit a new character for approval, please do not continue to edit your application. You are more than welcome to correct grammatical errors or spelling mistakes, but please do not edit your character’s core personality, history, magic portrayal, or design elements. This is to prevent confusion on the Moderator’s end when we review applications.

➤ If you desire to add a new character to your roster, double check your character cool down, double check if the Moderator Team is open for application reviews, and make sure to have any required creation/design items present in your inventory by the time of submission.

➤ If the moderator team gets back to you with a critique and/or requests edits be made, you may update any needed information on the application so we may look it over once again.

➤ MoA does not tolerate tracing from other artists, or plagiarism from other writers. You are more than welcome to use references, 3D models, and other tools of the trade to make your artwork so long as you provide credit for the assets you are using.

➤ If it is discovered you are stealing another creator’s work the Moderators are at liberty to ban you from the group.

➤ If you have sensitive content portrayed in your works you must provide content warning(s) for your work and spoiler tag it if you wish to share it in the group server.

➤ If someone is offering requests to feature characters in their written work or offering to draw characters, please do not hog the slots. If you have had a character featured or drawn by another member recently, please allow others to have a chance as well.

➤ As a courtesy, please wait at least 5-10 minutes before posting artwork/literature after someone else, this includes all art/prose based chatrooms. That way the previous Member has time for everyone to see their work before you share yours. It is heavily encouraged to comment on and compliment the work posted before yours.
