Rules

Information
===='''When joining Goat, a few channels will be presented to you. The rules are one of the most important channels in all of Goat. It is highly recommended that you read this channel before entering and socializing with other members.'''====

The Rules
1. Respect everyone, regardless of whether they are a fellow Goat member, ally, or enemy. We are all here to have a good time and we can only manage that if everyone works together.

2. No toxicity. We are well aware that our members like to banter, but if an Executive senses malicious intent and warns you formally or verbally, you are to drop the conversation. This means no racist, xenophobic, or sexist remarks, comments, slurs, or statements. If a fellow Goat member is being toxic to you, do not be toxic back. Simply compile evidence and send it to an Executive.

3. No threats or acts involving the leaking of personal information of other peoples without their consent. If you are releasing your own personal information, please be cautious. This is the internet, you do not have to release anything.

4. Do not kill your fellow Goat members or our allies. We are a faction and the point of a faction is to unite individual players into an organization where they may make new friends and have support when needed. We have each other’s backs and we should not break this fundamental purpose. The only exception to this rule is when you are participating in pre-organized fights in events like tournaments or a Lord orders you to kill a fellow member.

5. Do not use Goat to advertise. We are not an advertising hub, but a community. Goat should not be used for one’s personal gain regardless of whether or not the advertising is malicious (such as a scam Discord) or not.

6. Do not ask for ROBUX, free ranks, or free access to divisions. Ranks and divisional statuses are earned and are easily able to be achieved if you truly set your mind to it. Goat is not a charity organization and we do not lend out ROBUX unless it is approved by the Mastermind.

7. Do not wear uniforms that do not apply to your rank/divisional status or are decommissioned. If you are found to be violating this rule, you will be asked to delete the clothing from your inventory and will be warned.

8. No posting or spreading NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content. Goat’s community is family-friendly and most of our members are young. Violating this rule is especially scathing and warrants severe punishments ranging from a warning that counts as two warnings to an instant ban depending on the severity of the content.

9. Be responsible with your usage of our VCs (voice channels). This means no earrape, voice changers, using music bots outside of music VCs, text-to-speech applications, and leaving/rejoining of VCs to annoy others.

10. No alternate accounts allowed in the Discord. Alternate accounts will be automatically kicked by our Executives. If for some reason you cannot access your old Discord or require a new one, contact an Executive+ about the situation.

11. Use channels for their desired purposes. Regular chat, for example, would not belong in the #qotd-answers or #reinforcement-request channels, they would go in #general. Channels have specific purposes and those purposes can usually be told by their names (#bot-commands is for using bots, etc).

12. No impersonating other members (especially Executives) or lying about your rank/authority. Claiming to wield authority you do not rightfully possess or impersonating another member of the community, for good and bad, is strictly not allowed.

13. Listen to the Executives. They are the arbiters and enforcers of the rules and are able to warn, mute, kick, and ban you as the situation calls for it. If you feel as if an Executive is being unjust in their handling of the rules, please contact an Executive a rank or more above them (if the mishandler is an Executive or Heir, contact a Lord).

14. Use common sense and do not try to loophole the rules. The rules listed here cannot address every single scenario (although most scenarios are covered with the rules) and should we try, we would probably end up with much more rules than needed. With that being said, please do not try to loophole the rules and use common sense when engaging with our community. We are a friendly community with a majority of our members being young. If you have any doubts that certain content/discussion would not be allowed, then it is better to be safe and not risk being punished.

15. Use the proper mask format (“GOAT | [USERNAME]”) in-game. When using our mask, you are responsible for using our format as well. While wearing the uniform is recommended, it is not wholly required (unless you are an Executive). Being caught using an improper format will result in a warning.
