Stay on Show Topic & Respect the Space
Our LIVE broadcast space is a dynamic and diverse community where various shows are scheduled to entertain, educate, and inspire. To make the most of this shared experience, we kindly request your cooperation with the following guideline:
Value Our Scheduled Programs:
Every show that graces our platform is curated to provide engaging, thought-provoking, and enjoyable content. We ask you to respect the efforts of our creators and speakers who put time and passion into making these shows possible.
Respect the Show's Topic:
Our shows are carefully curated to explore specific themes, topics, or subjects. We encourage you to contribute to the conversation by staying on topic. This ensures that the discussion remains focused, informative, and enjoyable for all participants.
Relevance Matters:
When engaging in the chat or discussion, make an effort to connect your comments, questions, and ideas to the ongoing show. This helps keep the conversation coherent and ensures that everyone benefits from the content.
Open to Diverse Views:
While adhering to the topic, we also value diverse perspectives and opinions. Feel free to express your thoughts related to the show's subject matter, as long as they contribute constructively to the discussion.
Engage in Meaningful Discussions:
We encourage you to actively participate in the discussions, contribute your insights, and share your thoughts. Thoughtful interactions enrich our community and create an enjoyable experience for everyone. We're here to engage in meaningful discussions and enjoy our content.
Respect the Hosts and Presenters:
Our hosts and presenters put in a lot of effort to create engaging shows. Staying on topic is a way of showing respect for their hard work.
Be A Polite Sailor | Profanity
Profanity in Moderation - Keep it Respectful
We understand that colorful language can sometimes be a part of expression. Feel free to use profanity in moderation. However, always use profanity respectfully and avoid personal attacks, offensive slurs, or hate speech.
This rule encourages a balance between open expression and maintaining a positive atmosphere for all members.
No Excessive Caps or Emotes
We're all about expressing yourself, but let's maintain a pleasant and readable chat experience. To achieve this, we have simple rules:
- Avoid excessively TYPING IN ALL CAPS – it can come across as shouting.
- Don't flood the chat with excessive emotes or emojis unless asked by the host/guest hosts. A few are fun; an avalanche can be overwhelming.
- Remember, moderation is key. Share your enthusiasm in a way that respects others' ability to read and participate in the chat.
Be Patient & Manage Expectations
In a live stream, it's important to manage expectations and encourage patience:
While we strive to engage with and address as many questions as possible, please understand that we may not be able to answer or get to everyone during the show. Your patience helps create a more enjoyable and respectful experience for all participants.
No Spamming
Unless asked by the Host/Guest Hosts, avoid spamming the chat with repetitive messages or emojis, as it disrupts the conversation. This rule helps ensure that discussions remain on-topic and engaging for everyone.
Self- Promotion
Self-promotion is allowed, but please use the designated Discord channels for this purpose.
We encourage you to share your content, projects, or promotions, but please do so only in the designated channels. This helps keep the main discussion on topic and prevents clutter.
NSFW or Inappropriate Content
Our community seeks to balance freedom of expression with a comfortable, safe, and welcoming environment for all members. To maintain this balance, we have the following rules:
NO NSFW Content in Channels NOT Designated for 21+ Only:
- Keep discussions, images, links, and language respectful and appropriate for all ages.
- Avoid explicit, adult, or offensive content.
- Respect diverse backgrounds and comfort levels.
NSFW Content in 21+ Designated Channels Only:
- NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content is allowed, but it must be tasteful and respectful.
- Any NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content is permitted, but it must be shared exclusively in channels designated for members aged 21 and older.
- Keep other channels free from explicit content to ensure a safe space for all community members, regardless of their age.
- Do not share or engage in NSFW content that is hateful, offensive, or trauma-inducing. Always be mindful of the potential impact on others.
HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE COMMUNITY!
Your respect, cooperation, and positive engagement are the cornerstones of what makes this space truly exceptional.
By adhering to the rules, you not only help us maintain a welcoming and harmonious environment but also ensure that everyone can enjoy meaningful discussions, great content, and shared experiences.
