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.

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.
