Wekina Productions Discord Server Code of Conduct

Introduction

Welcome to Our Discord Server!

This Code of Conduct (CoC) outlines the standards all members agree to abide by in joining this online space. Acting in violation of the CoC may result in either a muting, suspension, or banning at the discretion of the Admin and Moderation Team (AMT). A minor violation will lead to a single strike, resulting in either a mute or a suspension. A total of three strikes leads to a complete ban from the server. Major violations will result in an immediate ban. We have a zero tolerance policy for violent, antagonistic, harassing, or hateful behaviour. Although all are welcome in our server, the safety of the most marginalised among us is our top priority.


Encouraged Behaviour

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic. With that being said, this server centres the safety of the most marginalised among us - Black and/or Indigenous folks.

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

  • Being kind and courteous to others

  • Using welcoming and inclusive language

  • Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences

  • Collaborating with other community members

  • Gracefully accepting constructive criticism

  • Focusing on what is best for the community

  • Showing empathy towards other community members



Unacceptable Behaviour

As a radical space, all forms of violence (including lateral and oppressive) are unacceptable. This includes gaslighting, tone-policing, forcing emotional/mental labour, and microaggressions. Additionally, harassment of any kind will not be tolerated on this server. 


General Behaviours to Avoid

  • Engaging with other members privately outside of the server (via direct message or on a separate platform) without their explicit consent

  • Publishing or sharing content from behind paywalls in public channels

  • Sharing logs or screenshots from the server outside the server


Harassment includes:

  • Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion

  • Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.

  • Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names

  • Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they’re not appropriate

  • Simulated physical contact (e.g. textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop.

  • Threats of violence

  • Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm

  • Deliberate intimidation

  • Sustained disruption of discussion

  • Unwelcome sexual attention

  • Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease

  • Publication of non-harassing private communication

  • The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or advances

  • The use of inappropriate images, including in a community member's avatar

  • The use of inappropriate language, including in a community member's nickname

  • Any spamming, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior

  • Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks

  • Public or private harassment

  • Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission

  • Discussing topics that are overly polarizing, sensitive, or incite arguments. This includes the discussion of polarizing political views, violence, suicide, and rape.

  • Responding with “RTFM”, "just google it” or similar phrases in response to help requests

  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate



Conclusion

This CoC is not exhaustive and any inappropriate behaviour not covered herein is still subject to the minor and major violation framework outlined above. Please just be kind, decent, generous, and compassionate to everyone else in our community, including yourself. As a space that values restorative justice, committing any sort of violation within the aforementioned framework does not necessarily have to result in carceral consequences. Should you commit a minor (or even a major) violation, your place in our community does not have to be forfeited if you show a commitment to taking accountability, making amends, and making repairs. This framework prioritises specified, actionable steps towards resolution. As such, there is no general roadmap for repairing harm. All cases will be assessed and processed on an individual basis.

Thank you for reading through our CoC. We look forward to engaging with you online.
