👁CONTENT RULES 👁

————————————

 •GENERAL: This is a safe for work (sfw) group chat. Content must be suitable for minors.

  •RELIGION/POLITICS: While general discussion on religion and politics are allowed, religious/political statements that condemn/belittle/dehumanize people or groups of people are not. Presenting your religious or political beliefs as facts is also not allowed.

  •HARASSMENT: Any form of communication targeting a specific individual or group with the intent to cause significant stress, anxiety, or discomfort is not allowed.

  •DEBATES: Attempts to “bait” or “trigger” a specific individual or group into an argument is not allowed. Engaging in a lengthy debate/argument that monopolizes/clogs up the chat is not allowed.

  •GRAPHIC CONTENT: Any content (text/images/video/audio) depicting/celebrating/promoting graphic violence is not allowed.

  •IP POLICY: Open Coast is not responsible for resolving copyright disputes involving its members.

•COMMUNICATION: If for any reason an admin or mod is blocked by a member without proper justification, the member will be removed until the admin/mod's unblocking, this prevents admins/mods to view messages from any member who may have blocked them resulting in the inability to moderate them. (If a member has reason to block an admin/mod due to them breaking rules or harassing a member please inform another admin as listed above and the situation will be resolved promptly.)

•JURISDICTION: Unless any of these rules are broken within the confines of OPEN COAST chats or any of our meets/sponsored meets, we will not be able to take administrative action. Exceptions would be made for members with current or past documented behavior that would pose a danger to other members of the community.

•DRAMA: Open coast strives to be a positive and inclusive space for its members, therefore talking about discourse - whether it be personal issues, group matters, or problems with another member - is not allowed. Posting or sharing emotionally charged content to insinuate a negative reaction is also forbidden. General rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t go up to a stranger and tell them a bunch of negativity about yourself or another person, then it shouldn’t be done here either.

⚠️TIME-OUTS & BANS⚠️

————————————

•OUR PHILOSOPHY: Our job is to ensure you have a safe, friendly environment to connect, form friendships and share ideas.

•STEP 1 (Verbal communication): In most cases, if you're violating the chat rules, we'll let you know what you did wrong and answer any questions you may have without restricting you at all. Whenever possible we will not call you out publicly in the chat. Instead, we prefer to contact you via a private message and we see it as a more respectful way to resolve problems.

•STEP 2 (Timeout): If the behavior continues after our verbal communication with you, your account may be temporarily muted for a period lasting anywhere from 1 to 8 hours. However, if there is an established pattern of behavior, you may be muted for an extended period of time or banned from the chat entirely. For example, picking a fight with someone may get you a timeout - but if the chat history shows you picking fights with people consistently on multiple occasions, we will adjust your restrictions appropriately.

Please feel free to reach out to an administrator if you have any questions or concerns!
