🌻Sunflower Soul Tribe Code of Conduct 🌻

1. Age Restrictions

 

The Sunflower Soul Tribe is a community open to everyone 18 and older. If you are not 18+, you cannot participate in this community.

​

2. Community Interactions

​

• The Sunflower Soul Tribe is an inclusive, friendly space. Be respectful to everyone and their opinions and points-of-view. Disagreements are inevitable, but keep the disagreements respectful and within personal DMs, not chats.

• This community's primary language is English. Please try your best to speak English so everyone can understand what you are saying, however specific channels will be available to foster a supportive environment to practice speaking new languages and learn from each other. 

• Read the announcements regularly to stay updated.

• Use the appropriate channels to talk about games, hobbies, or life in general. 

​

3. Unacceptable Behavior

​

The following types of behavior will result in an immediate ban if witnessed, and includes personal DMs to all members of Sunflower Soul Tribe or interactions outside of this community (e.g. Twitch, Discord, or other online or in-person platforms):

​

• Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, pregnancy status, veteran status, political affiliation, marital status, body size, age, race, national origin, ethnic origin, nationality, immigration status, language, religion or lack thereof, or other identity marker. This includes anti-Indigenous/Nativeness and anti-Blackness.

​

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

​

• Deliberate misgendering, using inappropriate pronouns, or use of "dead" or rejected names.

​

• Utilizing sexual images or behavior.

​

• Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like "hug" or "backrub") without consent or after a request to stop.

​

• Threats of violence. 

​​

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

​

• Deliberate intimidation.

​

• Stalking or following - online or in the physical world.

​

• Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.

​

• Sustained disruption of discussion.

​

• Unwelcome sexual attention.

​

• Patterns of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others.

​

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

​

• Deliberate "outing" of any aspect of a person's identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.

​

• Publication of non-harassing private communication.

 

• Jokes that resemble the above, such as "hipster racism", still count as harassment even if meant satirically or ironically. 

• ​

• Pornographic/NSFW content is not allowed, except in specific channels.

​

• Excessive cursing/swearing.

​

• Self promotion is not allowed, except in specific channels.

​

• Arguing with mods, admins, or Katerina.​

​

4. Reporting & Contacting Admins

​​

• If you are being harassed by a member of our community, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please DM a mod or Katerina. If the person who is harassing you is on the admin team, they will not be involved in handling or resolving the incident. 

​

• The admin team will respond to any complaint as promptly as possible we can. If you do not get a timely response (for example, if no admins are currently online) then please put your personal safety and well-being first, and consider logging out and/or contacting Katerina by email at iam@katerina.now.

​

• This code of conduct applies to our community's spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of our community outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by our members, especially the administrators, seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from the community based on their past behavior, including behavior outside of our spaces and behavior towards people who are not in this community.

​

• In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response.

​​

​

5. Enforcement Process

​

• Every code of conduct violation report will be treated with seriousness and care. If a member's immediate safety and security is threatened, an individual admin may take any action that they deem appropriate, up to and including temporarily banning the offender from the community. In less urgent situations, at least two admins will discuss the offense and mutually arrive at a suitable response, which will be shared with the offender privately. Whatever the resolution that they decide upon, the decision of the admins involved in a violation case will be considered final.

​

• We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we've received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of our members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.
   

6. Consequences

​

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the administrators may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from the community and identification of the participant as a harasser to other members. At the discretion of the admins, or by request, one or more of the parties involved may request to discuss the violation and how to avoid similar situations in the future.
