Hey everyone,

With the safety of our users in mind, we will no longer have an open invite
posted on the forums. For access to the Waypoint Discord, please:

 1. Introduce yourself in this thread.
 2. DM @M_o asking for access.

If I don’t get you an invite within a week, ask again. Sometimes I miss people’s
messages. Thanks!

GOAL A

> Let’s work together to make the Waypoint community an inclusive, fun, and safe
> place to talk about games and other things. Waypoint is focused on “why we
> play,” and that’s the common interest that brought us all here.
> 
> Rule 1:
> 
> > Bigotry, including but not limited to discrimination or hate speech based on
> > race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or any other attacks on one’s
> > personhood, will not be tolerated.
> 
> Rule 2:
> 
> > Threatening behaviour or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Our
> > community and its platforms are not to be used to launch attacks on others.
> > If the moderation team has reason to believe that a user has a history of
> > abuse or harassment, we reserve the right to take action to ensure the
> > safety of our community members.
> 
> Rule 3:
> 
> > There are myriad different backgrounds on this Forum. Don’t assume everyone
> > is like you, especially if you grew up or live in the global West, are
> > White, Cis, Able-Bodied, Neurotypical, Financially Secure, or any
> > combination therein. If you don’t know about a topic, research it. Read a
> > conversation and consider whether it needs your perspective or whether you’d
> > gain more by listening. Conversely, if you feel someone is out of their
> > lane, please raise the issue with a moderator via flag or DM.
> 
> Rule 4:
> 
> > Reach out to the Moderation Team with any concerns. Don’t DM or @ other
> > Waypoint staff, and remember that Discord doubles as their office space.
> > There are appropriate channels to pitch your work. Feedback should go to
> > waypoint at vice dot com. The moderator team is made up of community
> > volunteers. They are not employed by and have no formal affiliation with
> > VICE or its properties. They do not have input or control over the site’s
> > content or discuss editorial choices with the staff. They are not
> > representatives of VICE, Waypoint Radio, or Motherboard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GOAL B

> Let’s work together to make this community respectful of others’ boundaries,
> keeping in mind that many of our members are minors, people who are
> sex-repulsed, people struggling with addiction, people with food
> sensitivities, survivors of abuse, and/or have faced other trauma that they
> don’t wish to relive. Please DM the Mod group if you’re unsure whether
> something is okay to post.
> 
> Rule 5:
> 
> > Rule 5: Use content warnings, the spoiler tag, or the ‘Hide Details’
> > function when linking to or posting depictions of body horror, disease,
> > death, sex and sexuality, substance abuse, or violence. Posting pictures of
> > food is fine in the Food category, otherwise use spoiler tags and provide a
> > CW. Don’t post links to pornographic material.
> 
> Rule 6:
> 
> > Don’t joke about any of the topics listed in Rule 5. Don’t make lewd jokes,
> > daddy jokes, kinkshame, or post about being intoxicated. Don’t punch down.
> > Just because a staff member makes a joke on a podcast or on social media
> > does not mean that it’s appropriate for this Forum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GOAL C

> Let’s work together to give creators their due and let’s remember that the
> games community is small, creation is hard, and we should treat others and
> their labor with respect.
> 
> Rule 7:
> 
> > Don’t post pirated materials or links to pirated materials. It is fine to
> > talk about emulation (and similar topics) or discuss media with limited
> > access that might be obtained through such means, but linking to ROM sites,
> > detailing specific processes and generally enabling pirating is not. This
> > includes suggesting that you have pirated materials which you can
> > distribute.
> 
> Rule 8:
> 
> > If you’re a creator, share your work in The Workshop. We love seeing your
> > stuff, but we ask that you don’t make posts about your work your first
> > and/or only posts. Please make an effort to be a member of the community and
> > not someone only interested in self-promotion.
> 
> Rule 9:
> 
> > When posting someone else’s work (art, cosplay, and so on), please do your
> > best to source it and provide links to the creator’s social media or
> > portfolio. If you don’t have the source, do a reverse image search to look
> > for it.
> 
> Rule 10:
> 
> > Remember that the games journalism community is small, our community is
> > visible, and other personalities have been active here—act accordingly. Do
> > not speculate on hires or personal lives of staff or personalities of this
> > or any other site (and extend this courtesy to public figures in general);
> > remember, this is a person’s livelihood. Their personal lives are not
> > content.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GOAL D

> Let’s work together to cultivate a place where we can discuss complex and
> delicate topics in good faith while considering other perspectives when we
> disagree.
> 
> Rule 11:
> 
> > Don’t make blanket statements or state your opinion as fact. Don’t assume
> > others are speaking from a position of privilege. Don’t speak over others.
> > Don’t use emoji reactions to shutdown another user. Be thoughtful and
> > conscientious of other people’s time. Respect and support other people’s
> > interests, even if you might not share them.
> 
> Rule 12:
> 
> > De-escalate! Work to de-escalate rather than inflame heated conversations.
> > Be mindful of group dynamics and avoid piling on. Use the flagging system to
> > alert moderators. Don’t insist on getting the last word. If a moderator asks
> > you to end or move a conversation, do so.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GOAL E

> Let’s work together to hold each other accountable and create a community that
> looks out for itself.
> 
> The mods are also volunteers who can’t see everything that goes on and have
> our own blind spots. We are here to facilitate this Forum being as close to
> the goals laid out as possible, and we are always open to suggestions about
> how to do that, or to criticism about how we may have messed up.
> 
> If you feel one of us has messed up, please contact us! Comments are shared
> with all the mods (and staff, when necessary) so that we can talk them over
> and learn from them.
> 
> The mods take our rules seriously as they are what contribute to people
> feeling safe. All moderator decisions are made as a team; multiple people from
> different backgrounds offer their perspectives on each issue, and we involve
> staff when necessary. Penalties include formal warnings and temporary
> suspensions, with scaling severity depending on the circumstances. If you
> continue to disregard the rules, goals, or otherwise fail to adapt, you will
> be banned. Disciplinary action for unprecedented events or situations not
> covered by our rules will vary.
