Chat and Interaction

Introduction

By playing on NostalgiaCraft or by participating in the NostalgiaCraft Discord, you agree to abide by the following chat rules. Chat rules for NostalgiaCraft apply to usernames, messages, weapon names, signs, books, map arts, and any other forms of communication or interaction. All conduct on the Discord server must follow the same rules. This includes any form of communication or interaction, such as usernames, profile descriptions, statuses, etc. All reported private messages and group chats between community members are also bound by the same rules.

General Guidelines

NostalgiaCraft aims to foster a welcoming, friendly, and inclusive community. Our chat rules are based on common sense behavior. This means showing respect to others, refraining from using rude or hostile language, and being aware of how your words and actions can affect others. We expect all players to communicate in a manner that promotes positivity and ensures that everyone feels safe and valued.

  • Please only use English when speaking in public chat (Discord and in-game). This allows staff to moderate most effectively and keep the community safe, and does not apply to private chat (DMs, /msg).
  • Refrain from spamming or flooding chat with the same message.
  • You may see certain explicit and swear words on the server, but some words may be blocked. Be respectful and mindful of usage of all profanities.
  • Keep all chat civil and respectful.
    • All drama should be resolved in DMs or private messages between the parties involved. If this is not possible, please open a ticket for staff to mediate and resolve any drama/disagreement within the NC community.
    • If you have the /inspect feature, you are not allowed to confront or raise an issue about block/chest interactions in public chat with another player. This feature is for personal-use only. All graylist thefts must be attempted to be resolved in DMs or by opening a ticket with staff. All griefs must be reported to staff by opening a Discord ticket under the “Report a Player” category.
  • Ghost pinging in the Discord is not allowed.
  • In the Discord, try to keep channels on-topic.
  • If a staff member warns you, listen to them.

What We Don’t Allow

These offenses are considered severe and will lead to a permanent mute/ban, decided by the investigating staff member.

  • Excessive spam.
    • Repeated messages that are either off-topic or repetitive.
    • Large images or GIFs that flood the chat.
  • Excessive usage of profanity and vulgarities.
  • Not-safe-for-work (NSFW) content, references, or inferences.
    • Spreading visual, written, verbal or any other NSFW material is not allowed under any circumstances.
  • Overly political, divisive, and controversial content.
  • Racial slurs, racially insensitive/charged/provocative language.
  • Discriminatory language that is insensitive/charged/provocative.
  • Anything in violation of Mojang/Microsoft and Discord’s Terms of Service.
  • Non-consensual sharing of personal information.
  • Advertising of any kind.
    • Vaguely mentioning other Minecraft SMPs.
    • Directly and blatantly advertising other Minecraft servers/communities.

Community Disruption

Community disruption, defined as any behavior that undermines the positive and inclusive atmosphere of NostalgiaCraft, will not be tolerated. Even if offenses aren’t severe, repeated hostilities, rudeness, and overall violation of the aforementioned guidelines will result in stricter consequences. Persistent violators will be banned from both the game and our Discord server to maintain the well-being of our community. Respect and cooperation are essential to ensuring everyone can enjoy their experience.

Staff Goals

While rules are essential to maintain order, NostalgiaCraft staff do not want to be punitive. Rather, we aim to guide players towards respectful and fair gameplay. By working together with the community, the staff uphold a standard that enhances everyone’s experience within the community. NostalgiaCraft staff are available to help and answer your questions to make your time on the server more enjoyable. Should you have an issue with anything regarding the community, please open a ticket in the Discord, thank you for your cooperation and assistance!
