Madhouse aims to be an all-inclusive organization for writers and artists of all ages. Our diversity is reflected by the varied locations members hail from, the plethora of languages spoken, the wide range of political and religious beliefs, and by the age span (13 year old - those close to retirement).
Signing Up
Members will receive the Discord link after they are processed in as Members. Members should use a recognizable name upon entering the Madhouse server for the first time. Recognized names include your Nation States nick or nation name. You will be flagged as a Madhouse server "Denizen".
Terms of Service
Madhouse Denizens must abide by not only Discord Terms of Service, but also by Madhouse's Server Rules.
Madhouse Server Rules
As you've probably guessed, there are several Role Play Mentors at the helm. We drift towards the rules found in "official" NS Discord channels.
Server rules are meant to keep the channels calm and relaxing. All Denizens deserve respect. Agree to disagree, if you can't find mutual ground.
Rule #1 Do not be disruptive.
All rules and server staff actions are fundamentally derived from this rule. Any action, whether explicitly prohibited or not, which results in undue disruption or constitutes disruptive behavior may result in a warning, the revocation of the ability to chat, a kick, or a server ban.
Rule #2 Do not flame, troll, or otherwise insult other users.
This includes a prohibition on flaming, trolling, or otherwise insulting any extant users, be they present on the server or not. Snark, sarcasm, and "being blunt" are not inherently the same as flaming, trolling, or otherwise insulting other users.
**Topkek attitudes and Pepe memes are banned.** Enough already. Take it to /pol/ or 4Chan. It's not entertaining. It's infantile.
Harassment: Rudeness towards another Denizen, verbally or by behavior, will be considered a channel disruption and dealt with as a serious violation. Harassing staff or another member in a chat room is not allowed. Disagreements do happen -- deal with the issue not the person. If someone harasses YOU, do not respond in the same manner. Don't let one person's rudeness make you behave in the same way.
Rule #3 Do not spam in any form.
This should be pretty obvious. This includes excessive posting of images or similar without rhyme or reason. This includes the more humorous commands involving Nietzsche the Bot. Commands such as ".8ball" or ".quotes" (in other words, purely "for fun") should be directed to #nietzschenonsense where greater leeway is given. Commands such as ".seen" or similar are acceptable elsewhere.
Rule #4 Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
Users are welcome to discuss their concepts openly and freely on this server. Users found to be abusing this openness to plagiarize another user's work may face banishment from the server.
Rule #5 Any serious grievance against another user should be brought to the attention of server staff, not openly aired.
Sometimes situations are more serious than others. If a user has a dispute or grievance with another user, please bring it to the attention of server staff. Server staff can be identified by their robin's egg blue name.
Rule #6 Use a recognized name or identify yourself by your nation name.
Please identify yourself upon entry so we know you aren't a spammer or porn bot. We recommend using something that identifies your nation. For example, The Reverend Giovenith and Bismarck [Neros] allow users to quickly identify their NS identity. *note: changing your name here will NOT change it on your other gaming servers.*
Rule #7 Be mindful of other people's political or religious beliefs.
Madhouse Productions does not discriminate against those of varying political or religious beliefs. These are hotbed topics online. Aggressive debate doesn't translate well in a chat platform; these debates belong on the OSF where they can be properly monitored and/or reported should attitudes step across the "civil" line.
People should not be made to feel ashamed of their political alignment or belief/disbelief in a deity/God. People should not force those beliefs on others either.
Please keep these debates on the OSF. Chat formats are not conducive for rapid pace dialogs. Tempers flare in the heat of the moment.
Rule #8 Mature Content.
The Madhouse channels are all PG13 with the exception of the Badger Den. Please keep them that way. Denizens 18 years or older will be granted permission to see/use the Badger Den. This channel has a unique rule set.
In addition to the rules above, Badger Den participants may not engage in sexual harassment, not should they post excessive gore. Rape is taboo, to include descriptions pertaining to the act of raping or an IC post wherein your character (or other participants' characters) experience rape. We have several rape survivors; do not force them to relive their horrors via your shit.
Reporting
If someone has harassed you, discriminated against you, or otherwise broken Madhouse chat policy, you have the right to report the offender. You may do so via a PM to any Staff member. Staff are identified by their sky blue names. In your PM, include a cut and paste of the offensive quote. Or, failing that, please provide a time stamp and the person's name.
Reporting doesn't necessarily mean a person will be punished. Staff will assess the conversation before and after the offending post. If found borderline, they'll speak to the offensive player via PM. If found to be a gross violation of the rules, the offensive player faces the possibility of permanent muting or permanent kick or permanent ban.
Monitoring
All Staff have the ability to check old messages. In addition Staff have access to the Bot's logs. The Bot (Nietzsche) records deleted or edited messages and sends them to a private Staff channel. We do this so that players can not engage in rule-violating behavior and then cover their tracks. The Bot also runs the word filters. You will NOT "get in trouble" for typing a banned word unless you continue to type that banned word in a spammy fashion.
