Rules

Moderation & Rules

How the server expects people to behave, and how Grok and Discord AutoMod help staff keep it that way.

The rules

Keep it simple

These are the rules posted in #rules. Breaking them can mean a warning, timeout, kick, or ban. Moderators and the Dev Team have the final say.

1. Be kind

Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, hate speech, slurs, or personal attacks.

2. Keep it clean

No NSFW, gore, or shock content anywhere, including avatars and names.

3. No spam or self-promo

No flooding, mass pings, or ads. Discord invite links are removed automatically. Ask staff before sharing your own stuff.

4. Stay on topic

Use the right channel: bugs go in #bug-reports (use /bug), ideas in #suggestions (use /suggest).

5. No scams or cheats

No phishing links, fake giveaways, account trading, exploits, or cheats. Report bugs and exploits to the team instead.

6. Respect the work

Don't leak or repost private builds, dev content, or other people's work without permission.

7. Listen to staff

Moderators and the Dev Team have the final say. If you have a problem, DM a Moderator.

8. Follow Discord's rules

Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines apply here too.

How enforcement works

Two layers watch the chat: Discord’s built-in AutoMod, which is on now, and extra checks from Grok that are coming soon. Staff can always step in by hand.

Discord AutoMod

These rules run even if Grok is briefly offline. Founder, Moderator, and Dev Team are exempt. When something is blocked, a note is sent to #mod-log, and the person who posted it sees a short notice that invite links and suspicious links aren’t allowed, with a pointer to #rules.

Invite links and scams

AutoMod blocks Discord invite links and common scam or phishing patterns, including fake Nitro or gift pitches, typo-squatted Steam community links, and well-known IP-logger domains. The message never goes through.

Mention spam

Messages that mention more than six users or roles are blocked. Mention-raid protection is also on. The author is timed out for 10 minutes.

Grok’s own checks

What staff do

Moderators can warn, time out, kick, or ban, and they can manage messages and threads. If you have a problem with a decision, DM a Moderator rather than arguing in public. A formal in-server appeals form is planned (see the roadmap) and is not live yet.

For staff

The moderation log

#mod-log is a private staff channel. Only Moderators (and anyone with administrator access, including Founders) can see it. Use it as the record of what the bot and AutoMod already caught, not as a public channel.

Logged today

Members who accept the rules, messages blocked by Discord AutoMod, and — once the coming-soon checks are on — Grok’s own invite, scam, and flood actions, plus richer detail on edited or deleted messages.

Coming soon in the log

Joins, including how old the Discord account is, with a flag on very new accounts, and leaves. Welcome pings in #welcome will go out at the same time.

Staff can still post in the Info channels (welcome, rules, announcements, and roadmap) and in the read-oriented member channels such as #get-roles, #dev-log, #suggestions, and #bug-reports. Dev Team and Founders also have /playtest and /devlog.

Grok does not replace human judgment. If AutoMod or the bot misses something, or catches something it shouldn’t, a Moderator should still act and leave a clear reason.
