Rules

I don't want to read all of these T_T

Something not your taste? Remove it from your life!

• TLDR Rules: Don't be a dick, keep it legal, keep it wholesome with a bit of crude, and be 18+, and you'll be fine.
• The safe word is pineapple. Don't use it jokingly, please. Stop immediately if someone says pineapple.
• Our server is a balance of wholesome vibes with a bit of crude humor. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for those who deliberately test the boundaries of these rules & guidelines. Please note that attempting to bypass our rules through 'loophole' / 'malicious grey area' behavior is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban.
• We do not support the edgy / super sexualized / gun heavy / gangster / thug sort of vibe here. This is *wholesome*.
• Also see Mission Statement
• To satisfy VRChat's requirements: "Due to the diverse nature of this community, you will likely encounter varying personalities, humor styles, or conversations that don't mesh with your own. This is a diverse space: Things can get chaotic, provocative, crude, quirky, and wholesomely cringe. By joining these instances, games, or chats, you consent to viewing content that might not be your cup of tea! However, we still distinguish between subjective taste and intent to harm. If a topic isn't vibin' to the float of your boat, please scroll past the conversation and come back later when something is more interesting to you. On the flip side, if you see behavior that is malicious and intended to cause actual harm, please gather evidence and submit a ticket immediately. Regarding these matters, by continuing to participate in this community, you agree to trust and accept the final resolution provided by the staff."

I will read all of these :3

• Hey thanks! There's some instructions somewhere below for your prize.

Piss Happens: If you piss on the floor, clean it up

I want you to be yourself, but I want you to refrain from pissing on the floor, and if you do, it's your responsibility to clean it up. Peeing on the floor If you think about pissing on the floor... Sometimes you might piss on the floor, especially if you're just a kid and just learning how to piss... and it needs cleaned up. If you're a kid, your parents will probably do it. That's their job. If you're not, it'll kinda suck, but you still gotta clean it up. Because cleaning up piss sucks, as you get older, you take the time to learn how NOT to piss on the floor, and piss in the toilet instead. If you don't take the time to learn how to piss in the proper place, you'll keep pissing on the floor, and everyone around you will step in it and someone has to clean it up. It's fine to need help with this when you're a baby, but when you're an adult... You might fuck up, get drunk, and then piss on the floor, but it's still on you as an adult to clean up your piss. Sometimes, everyone has some piss that lands on the floor for one reason or another, and that's life. Piss happens. What REALLY matters is how you handle that piss. Are you going to take steps to not piss on the floor? Are you going to clean it up if you do? Are you going to subject others to stepping in it or force them to clean it up for you? This is what matters. Not that you pissed, but how you deal with the piss. ....and then there's people like Mondo, who are incontinent! but Mondo lets people know "Yes, I gradually pee myself all day long, BUT I wear a pad to mitigate the piss, and if you happen to find some piss, lmk and I will clean it up, I apologize in advance!" (Thank you Ghosty! <3)

Pledge to ourselves and our community mates

By using our server, you agree to our pledge: I $username, pledge to respect the individual and their position by using the chain of command when dealing with issues within my community. • Me • Community-Mates • Event Host • Mod Team • • Me • I will not engage with conversations that make me heated, or that I do not like. I will take a step back when I am upset, and revisit the situation when I am able to clearly communicate in a calm manner. I will reflect on my wants and needs internally to ensure that I can communicate to others my wants and needs in a timely manner. • Community-Mates • I will communicate my boundaries clearly and directly, using explicit language privately, like, "Hey, I'm not interested in talking about US health care," or "I do not like being cuddled, please do not cuddle with me without asking permission first." I will prioritize direct communication privately over vague hints, recognizing that many of us are autistic and benefit from clarity. I will strive to address minor issues directly with the individuals involved, assuming positive intent and seeking clarification or compromise. • Event Host • Mod Team • I understand that delaying reporting is irresponsible and can lead to even bigger problems down the road. I will report suspicious people or behaviors promptly to the event host to ensure the safety of our community. I acknowledge that persistent unwanted behavior after clear communication, even if seemingly small, requires investigation. I will utilize platform specific blocking features (Discord, VRC, etc.) to manage personal conflicts, such as those arising from breakups or personality clashes. I will deal with rule breaking interpersonal friction in DMs FIRST before escalating. I will use #⁠🆘⟝support-tickets, #⁠⁠📧⟝tell-us-things◄, or the anonymous reporting feature when something happens that is against these rules.

Staff Rules

A. Treat each other, all group members, and themselves with respect. B. Make Mondocat.tv a safe place for participants to be themselves. C. To enforce the rules equally as best as we can with the resources we have, without discrimination of any kind. D. Be open to answering questions, addressing concerns, and being transparent when possible about decisions and actions while maintaining privacy. E. Be positive examples of the community. F. Guide and teach members on various topics, from being the greenest newbie, learning to love yourself, running your own events, to becoming a staff member themselves, and more! G. To make mistakes like any other human being and learn from them and do better. H. Not take unreasonable shit from people being dicks. If someone is not willing to follow the rules, calmly discuss and compromise on a problem like an adult in a timely manner, or are being malicious, they are to be disciplined accordingly, up to and including banning. I. To give people the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, in the form of "verbal" warnings and a "three strike" system. Extreme exceptions apply. Newbies may be excluded from the three strike system for being extremely sus or "not fitting the community vibe". J. For those with ticket access: to respond to tickets in a timely manner, discussing in mod chat, and those without ticket access, to provide their input on situations in the mod chat.

Only YOU can prevent Discord forest fires!

Report Dat user! If there is something suspicious that doesn't warrant a ticket that doesn't need a response or discussion from you, you can now report right from within Discord! (For example: There is a spammer, scammer, or an inappropriate post)   Use YAG bot in whatever channel the person posted the bad post in!   Type /report Click YAG Fill out User and Reason.   FOR EXAMPLE:   /report user:@Mondocat reason:HER EARS WERE TOO WOBBLY AND IT WAS INTIMIDATING THE NEWBIES!   YAG then logs the last 100 messages and sends an alert to mod chat to check it out! So if mod chat happens to not be paying attention to "FREE HENTAI SERVER, CLICK HERE FOR PENIS ENLARGEMENT PILLS AT ROCK BOTTOM PRICES" in chat, they will now!   NOTE: This is NOT a replacement for tickets or anonymous reporting. This is only to let mods know of inappropriate posts that do not need discussing.

Extensive Rules List

If you see something, SAY something! You are not rocking the boat by speaking up, you're sinking it if you don't by letting danger in! <3 Core Principles: How to FUCK Ensure that you embrace the FUCK system: Fun, Union, Communication, and Keeping responsibility FUN: Promote a FUN, Helpful, and Supportive Community: Keep a sense of humor and an open mind! We're here to escape IRL BS. Forgive yourself for your own mistakes! Have all the fun! (Or else!) Be your cute self! No "no u"ing! We're all cute here. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Be brave and make mistakes! It means you're learning. Encourage others to not be afraid of making mistakes, by forgiving them if they mess up. Forgive each other for mistakes. Protect your friends and report suspicious activity. Build each other up and keep a positive atmosphere. Take pictures and share your memories with us! This is a public server and there's no expectation of privacy other than basic decency. UNION: Maintain a Positive & Safe Environment: No harassment, discrimination, violence, or personal attacks. Vague or direct. No discussion of emotionally charged, hot, sensitive topics, or could be likely to provoke strong reactions, negative current events, controversy, scandals, etc. Consider the vent channel, the politics discord, or another discord. This includes discussion on your feelings about AI and Youtuber/Celebrity scandals. Purely AI Generated images go in #AI_Arts Thread Keep posts and content in a generally positive or neutral light. No doxing or sharing sensitive personal information. No excessive lewdness or disruptive avatars/sounds. Respect everyone's boundaries, including physical and emotional space. If someone says "stop," stop immediately. No means no. It does not require an explanation. Use the block features for personal conflicts.

Keep conversation away from conventionally socially inappropriate taboo subjects. Please do not bring up or discuss things that would be legally inappropriate, even at an educational level. While it's impossible to make a definitive list of taboo things, we are adults and need to use our best judgement on this. Help others help themselves! Scroll past a conversation you, personally, do not like the subject of, but if a conversation seems like it could be inappropriate for the server as a whole, assess if it is malicious or not. If it isn't, educate them! "Maybe this isn't a great conversation to be having, let's move away from this". If you are uncomfortable with that, or they refuse to move along from the subject, file a #⁠🆘⟝support-tickets or #⁠⁠📧⟝tell-us-things◄. VIBES Our vibe is not sex appeal. If that's your thing, you may be interested in a different community. Our vibe is not "edgy" either. Gangsters, weapon-esque themes, gritty, or aggressive sort of personalities may be interested in a different community. Our vibe is not trauma dump central. You should not be coming in and telling us about how many therapists you've scared off. You may benefit from another community and IRL therapy. If there is a serious mental health issue, please call 911 where professionals can help you. Our vibe is not witch hunt friendly. If you feel like you want to moderate other member's behavior if you're not a mod, or joining just to try to get people in our server banned, you may be interested in a different community. COMMUNICATION: Communicate Clearly & Directly: We can only moderate in English, so please keep English as the main language. If you wanna do something else for the meme or whatever occasionally is fine lol. Use designated channels ( #Tell-Us-Things #Support-Tickets #Suggest-A-Thing, and #Ask-A-Thing.) for all reports, questions, suggestions, or to tell us about your favorite cheese. Be direct and explicit in your communication. Avoid vague hints. The vast majority of us are autistic or neurodivergent and need direct communication. Taking AND receiving constructive criticism tactfully is essential to healthy friendships. Own your mistakes instead of hiding them, learn from them, and do better next time. <3 I want you to make mistakes. It means you're being brave. Report issues promptly! Don't wait for them to escalate. Communicate appropriately. Don't dm/friend request people when you've just joined the server. That's what art scam bots do! (And get promptly banned) Don't say the S zoomer word. (Mondo will be very sad and you'll get a timeout) Self-promo content is allowed in #💸⟝self-promo-rizz after you get access to the Server DLC KEEPING RESPONSIBILITY: Be Responsible & Accountable: Take responsibility for your actions. Excuses like being drunk, high, not communicating your needs, or not talking to staff are not acceptable. Use common sense; if it could hurt someone, don't do it. If you accidently hurt someone, say sorry. If someone accidently hurt you, tell them. Politely. Do not use this server as a chronic dating platform. It's okay to date. It's not okay to come here, pick up a date, leave with them, and then come back again after a breakup. Use https://flirtu.al & https://www.nevermet.io. Do not use this server as a replacement for professional mental health. Use the vent channel for bad days. Use your therapist for talking through deep issues that could hurt yourself or others. Do not circumvent automod or block moderators. When in doubt, ask questions before making assumptions. If there is a problem unrelated to a civil discussion in discord, report it to the mods in #Tell-Us-Things #Support-Tickets instead of calling someone out in the chat. If you fill out a ticket in #Tell-Us-Things or #Support-Tickets with "Hey I read the rules!" we will give you a special role. To show that you're cooler than the ones who didn't. TAXES: Pay the cheese tax or get a 3: Keep the 1099s and W2s to the taxes channel. Crude NSFW jokes and references for the lulz are okay. No porn, illegal, or disturbing content (gore, pps, age-play, etc.). Once you've got access to the Server DLC, and you can file your taxes. You will follow the Taxes rules.
