(A) Rules & Regulations

(1) General

1. This policy applies to all of VRM's creations, facilities, social media, and VRChat instances hosted in VRM VR spaces

Example:
That means all VRM VR spaces, all social media accounts and their comment sections, our Discord and other facilities that are made available.
2. VRM’s VR spaces, events and Discord server are an 18+ environment

Example:
Example Text
3. Only staff and those specifically appointed may formally represent VRM and speak on its behalf

Example:
This includes Staff and Administrators. It excludes Discord Moderators, Volunteers and Contributors.

Example:
Example text
5. VRChat's terms of service and community guidelines, and Discord's terms of service apply

Example:
Example text

(2) Conduct

1. Mind common social norms and conventions, and be forthcoming to others

Example:
If you wonder how to behave, just imagine VRM to be a real-life event venue
2. No disruptive behavior, trolling or spam

Example:
Not "as a joke" either.
3. No unnecessarily explicit or disturbing language

Example:
While language don't have to be extremely formal, excessive explicit and disturbing language is not welcome.
4. Weigh your words. Default to using common language. Define uncommon terms as you use them, citing a source

Example:
Good chance you'll be speaking to people with different interests and experiences than yours! Help them understand what you're saying, for example when using terminology that is particular to a certain culture or philosophy
5. Make things you share relatable for others. I.e. give context, attach meaningful explanations, conclusions, questions or connections to science, history, (esoteric) philosophy and practice, human experience etc

Example:
Good chance you'll be speaking to people with different interests and experiences than yours! Help them understand what you're saying, for example when discussing things particular to a certain culture or philosophy
6. When sharing Unverified Personal Gnosis, communicate this clearly

Example:
See the link in the rule text
7. No politics. When it comes up in relation to a topic; comment briefly, modestly and carefully, then move on

Example:
Like many things, spirituality included, politics is interwoven with the human experience, which sometimes makes it hard to avoid. Discussing it frustrates relations between people who might get along fine discussing other things.
8. No extremism. I.e. things concerning race, ethnicity, identity, sexuality, violence, radicalism, supremacy, vilification, subjugation, subversion, dehumanization physical or other harm, infringement on human rights etc

Example:
Hate speech, racially loaded speech and material, collectivist political ideologies, instigating violence, dehumanization/mistreatment of individuals or groups, brigading
9. Be yourself. Leave your magus-itis at the door and refrain from dramatization or embellishment

Example:
See the link in the rule text
10. No channeling (entities, spirits, ‘alters’ etc) or excessive intoxication in our VR spaces, activities, Discord etc

Example:
We expect those attending to be in control themselves, even when enjoying their consumption of choice
11. Use the Discord channels as intended (each channel has a description)

Example:
Every discord channel has an intended use, which can be read in its description
12. Don't publicly intervene with moderation of other people (send unban solicitations to contact@vrmystery.school)

Example:
Moderation is not publicly discussed. If you or sombody you know were subject to moderator action, and you want to discuss this with our management, use the email adress above.

(3) Content

1. No illegal, harmful, explicit or distasteful content. I.e. sexual content, violence and abuse, pirated content, disinfo

Example:
Includes things not immediately obvious to everyone: PDFs of books that are not in public domain, "funny" videos of people or animals getting hurt or fighting, purely speculative or easily disprovable pseudo-spirituality
2. Don't proselytize, use VRM to sell products/ideology, or “recruit” people

Example:
VRM actively protects itself and users from disturbance by advertisers, people obnoxiouisly pushing their ideology, and others with alterior motives and no intention to participate in earnest
3. Don't promote other VRChat or Discord communities in VRM or its channels

Example:
4. No self promotion (social media, podcast, site, blog, etc). It's reserved for VRM, and within reason, contributors. To request permission or become a contributor, write to contact@vrmystery.school

Example:
VRM is not intended to be a platform for promoting content, products or services. If you want to share your creative works in our Discord server, post the content as is without linking to social media or any branding.
5. Post invocatory material (such as magical sigils) behind a spoiler and/or include a warning, even in DM

Example:
The most common example of this would be the sigils of the Goetic spirits, which are intended to be used for invoking the spirits themselves. People may differ of opinion about such things, and some may not enjoy being involuntarily exposed to them
6. As extension of A.3.5, warn those you invite to VR spaces or send content that contains invocatory material

Example:
You struck up a conversation with sombody cool at VRM, and you want to show them a world or some media that includes invocatory matieral. Make sure they know what to expect, and that they're OK with it before you plunge them into it
7. Don't post, broadcast or use avatars in way that conflicts with VRM's policy

Example:
Offensive VR/Discord user names and avatars, broadcasting inapropriate things over microphone etc

(4) Fair Use

1. In the case of VR, VRM must be mentioned with the use of the information board in the lobby, at the start and end of each event/stream/video recording etc taking place, with no exception

Example:
This only applies to VRM's public VR spaces and their features. Per A.4.4 it is not allowed to share subsciber exclusive and proprietary content made by VRM.

2. Upon request by VRM staff, documentation of said promotion of VRM is to be provided

(C) Disclaimers

1. Discord Community Channels (Click to expand)

The intended "VR Mystery School experience" takes place in Virtual Reality, and only involves Discord to publish information and announcements. The Discord community channels are maintained by and for VRM enthusiasts that also enjoy using Discord for chat and sharing. Although the Community Channels are subject to VRM's policy, their discourse and contents can't be guaranteed to reflect the intentions or goals of the project, its creator, or the staff.
2. Health Disclaimer (Click to expand)

Though subjects relating to well being, health, self care etc. may come up at VR Mystery School, nothing shared through its channels is intended or able to substitute professional care. Our official stance and disruptive mental health issues is that they should be treated, not glorified, and often don't mix well with spirituality and related themes. None of the VRM staff will ever act in the capacity of a care professional. VRM cannot and will not facilitate for disruptive (mental) health issues, and disruptive behavior will be subject to moderation even if it originates from a (mental) health condition, for the safety and comfort of all involved. Participation is at one’s own risk.
3. Moderation Policy (Click to expand)

The policy described here is enforced by VRM staff and moderators through (1) Reminder, (2) Warning, (3) Sanction In that order. Sanctions may be disputed and un-bans requested by messaging contact@vrmystery.school. The VR Mystery School administration reserves the right to improvise outside of the policy when necessary. No rights can be or obtained or derived from this document and its content.
