Community Guidelines
Find all of our Guidelines here
The Xtreme Weather Discord is dedicated to creating a community that thrives on positivity, safety, and enjoyment for all its members. When you become a part of XWD, you accept and agree to the following guidelines to ensure a welcoming atmosphere. It’s essential to note that these guidelines apply not only to Text Channels but also extend to Voice Chat if applicable. Your cooperation plays a crucial role in maintaining the friendly community we aim to cultivate here.
Show respect to everyone
Always show respect to all members of XWD; regardless of your feelings towards them, and never bully, harass, discriminate, or severely troll other fellow members.
No NSFW content
XWD maintains a strict prohibition on any form of explicit content, including but not limited to pornography, adult material, NSFW (Not Safe For Work), or NSFL (Not Safe For Life) content.
Don’t cause, create, or participate in drama
Any form of drama is not allowed in XWD. Some blacklisted members and communities may trigger our AutoMod to enforce this guideline further.
No spammy content
Any form of spamming in any channel, including: emoji, text walls, mentions, chain walls, GIFs, videos, etc., is not allowed. Copypastas and other content that may be considered spammy may trigger our AutoModeration.
English only
XWD’s primary language is English, our Staff cannot understand other languages, so your message(s) will be removed.
Don’t bypass AutoMod
Our advanced Auto-Moderation system helps keep XWD safe at all times without Staff intervention. If your message was flagged by AutoMod, don’t bypass it by sending any screenshots of the flagged message(s). If your message was flagged by mistake, please contact Staff.
No sensitive, personal or private topics
For the safety and well-being of our members and the community, we strictly prohibit discussions of personal, private, or sensitive matters in XWD. This policy helps maintain a respectful and secure environment for everyone.
No self-promotion
XWD does not allow direct promotion of your social media, Discord servers, or anything else along those lines.
No misinformation
Weather misinformation, as well as other types of it should be kept out of XWD at all times, especially during Coverage Modes. Before sharing forecasts in the Your Forecasts channel, please remove any official graphics to ensure clarity and avoid any confusion. Official graphics include but are not limited to: NWS/NOAA logos, alert text without indicating its lack of authenticity, or anything else that could be misleading. This helps the community maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Don’t use loopholes
No list of guidelines is completely cohesive. If you feel like you’ve been treated unfairly by a Staff member, contact support. If you intentionally are finding loopholes or misreporting abuse to staff, you will be punished accordingly.
Guideline enforcement
All enforcement on XWD depends on the circumstances of your actions, the situation, and your moderation history. Staff may punish you even if you haven’t broken one of the listed guidelines, if they consider it appropriate. If you feel like your punishment was too harsh, contact us, or appeal your ban.
