This is basically a Contributor Covenant CoC, with additional clarifications on what is considered "on topic" subjects. See also: Usage Guidelines.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as moderators and admins pledge to make participation in urusai.social and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, social status, or sexual identity and orientation.
We strive to keep discussions on urusai.social roughly in line with the interests of anime/manga/gaming/etc fans. This does not mean you can only post things related to those topics! Weebs have diverse interests and we celebrate that.
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
There's no such thing as "off-topic" on urusai.social, however, in general please avoid veering too much outside of what could be considered interesting to otaku. If all you ever write about is beer, basketball or interpretive costumed handstand fights, that might be considered too off-topic and your account might be silenced/muted. These are interesting things! Just not all the time.
urusai.social moderators are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Moderators have the right and responsibility to silence or delete messages and user accounts that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to suspend temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Parts of this Code of Conduct related to hateful or illegal conduct apply within activities on the urusai.social instance and elsewhere. Our members cannot feel safe knowing that people who espouse harmful ideologies are present on this server, and we will strive to keep those people away.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported either via Mastodon's built-in "Report" tools, or by contacting the owner of this instance (neatchee@ansemreport.com). All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The moderators and owner are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Moderators who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other moderators or the instance owner.
