Choices: Stories You Play Wiki

As always, general rules and policies listed here remain in effect on the wiki's Discord channel. If you experience uncomely behavior from users outside the wiki's channel (that is, in private channels that fans create), please keep in mind that the wiki's admin/mod team have limited or no control over other users. Please visit and read Discord's articles to keep yourself safe and report behavior.

Kicks and Bans

What is a kick?

  • In short, it is a quick way to remove the user from chat without banning them, if you are kicked it means you have done something wrong and you need to stop.

What about a ban?

  • A ban is a way to remove you from chat for a set amount of time, when you are banned there is always a reason and it means you have been warned and kicked several times and you refused to change your behavior.

Chat Rules

General Discord Server Rules:

  1. If several users and/or chatmod/administrators tell you to stop doing something because it is disruptive, you need to quit doing it.
  2. You and you alone are responsible for what is said in your name, and you alone will face the consequences for it.
  3. If you wish to post something on chat that is NSFW (Not Safe For Work) -meaning that it would not be okay to view that content at a public library, school, or place of work- then you need to inform users that the content in NSFW by stating it when the link is posted.
  4. Do not ask if people will be banned either in chat or from the site, or declare that people will be banned either from chat or from the site if you are NOT an admin and/or chatmod. Also, do no speculate on bans and do not demand bans.
  5. Posting screamers or shock gifs will result in a 1 day ban from chat.

Spamming Rules:

  1. Do NOT spam the AFK button. The AFK button is to inform users that you are away from the keyboard, not to make your username dance in the roster. This means an instant kick, then a two hour ban if you continue.
  2. No roleplaying. This means no pretending to be other users to make fun of them (but you can roleplay as Choices Character within reason)
  3. Do not post the same link more than once every 10 minutes, and do not send more than 3 links in a span of 20 minutes.
  4. If you are going to post long links or links in general, and are going to use a URL masker, you must use this Example: TINYURL.
  5. Do not for any reason spam/test emoticons in main chat. If you feel the need to test them, please do it in a private message, with another user that has agreed to let you do so.
  6. Do not stretch the chat window by spamming characters (i.e. using 40-50 "!").
  7. No "Zalgo" text. No one can read it and if you're posting it, it's probably not worth reading. It's also old and tired.
  8. Do NOT spam caps. We only allow it for emphasis.

Drama Rules:

  1. We do not tolerate cross wiki or offsite drama in our chat rooms, so please keep things that do not happen on this wiki to yourself.
  2. Do not insult users based off of their interests(favorite characters), sexual orientation,color of their skin as this starts drama and is a form of harassment and discrimination.
  3. Harassing other users is not acceptable and you will be kicked/banned from chat for doing so.
  4. No "tricking" people into getting banned either. That will get you banned, too.

Penalties

  1. First violation: Verbal warning from an admin.
  2. Second violation: Temporary kick from chat.
  3. Third violation: Ban from chat for 2 hours.

If you keep violating the rules, your ban will stack up, depending on the rule broken.

No-Warning Bans or Kicks

The following actions will get you kicked or banned from chat without any warning other than the one the admin places on the reason for banning you.

  1. Posting something on chat that you know is against the rules, especially if you declare you know better. Kick from chat.
  2. Referring to something as "gay" in reference to being lame. Calling anyone or anything a "f--" or "gay" or any similar words. This is no longer going to result in a warning. This is a ban. We as a whole are fed up with the behavior of using those terms in a derogatory manner. It's not just discriminatory; it's ignorant. 1 day ban from chat (it's all at the admin or chat mod's discretion).
  3. Do not attempt to dance around the rules by even trying to talk about the above. Do not try to "you know what I mean" things, either. Kick from chat.
  4. Racism, in any form. 1 week ban from chat .
  5. Posting screamers. 1 day ban from chat.

Admin/Chatmod Notice

  • Remember, all penalties are subject to the admin's and mod's discretion. If you ban someone, please edit the ban message to be as specific as possible.
  • If you wish to appeal a ban, leave a message on the user page of the person that banned you or an admin in chat.
