Our Community Rules apply to the 1.5 Gen Asians Discord.

Additional rules marked in purple specifically apply to Discord.

1. Be kind, respectful, and have fun. Our community thrives on kindness and respect. Let's continue fostering a positive atmosphere where we celebrate each other's accomplishments, share common interests, and simply have a great time together.
2. Lift each other up. Support one another and help to create a safe space for all. If you see someone being treated poorly or if you encounter any issues, please speak up or reach out to our moderators or leadership team. Open communication is crucial, and we all play a role in nurturing a positive environment.
3. Respect other communities and groups. There's room for all communities to coexist and thrive together. Let's encourage positivity and avoid negativity that brings others down.
4. Use Appropriate Channels. We have various channels for different topics and interests. Please make sure to post content and discussions in their respective channels to keep everything organized.
5. Share the space. While we love having fun and engaging conversations, it's essential to consider others. If someone expresses a desire to use a specific channel for its intended purpose, kindly be prepared to move your conversation to a more suitable place.
6. No politics. No religion. To minimize unnecessary drama, we've decided to exclude discussions about politics and religion from the server. Let's focus on creating connections and shared interests instead. Thank you for your understanding.
7. No obscene content. NSFW discussions are allowed only in #nsfw. However, text, images, or links featuring nudity, sex, hard violence, or other graphically disturbing content are prohibited everywhere.
8. No spam, self-promotion, or for-profit activities. Please avoid spamming or excessive self-promotion. We do not allow events, activities, and sales for personal gain or commercial interest. Feel free to share your content in the designated #promotions channel, but please avoid spamming or self-promotion elsewhere.
9. No dating talk. This isn’t a dating arena. If you'd like to talk about dating or romantic relationships, please keep those discussions to private DMs. If you are looking for dates or romantic relationships, please be mindful of personal boundaries and don’t make other members uncomfortable. Even if it's in private, if you do not respect people's personal boundaries and make members feel unsafe in the group, it negatively affects our community as a whole and there may be consequences to your membership.
10. Respect consent for DMs. Try to meet people in person or ask before messaging, avoid unsolicited messages, and stop if someone shows discomfort or disinterest. Respect others’ privacy and their choice to engage in online interactions. If someone has the "ASK to DM" tag, ask for permission in our server channels before sending them direct messages. If they have the "DO NOT DM" tag, please respect their privacy.
11. Respect privacy. Protect each other's privacy by not sharing personal information without explicit consent. It's equally important to safeguard your own sensitive information.
12. Assume best intent and be kind to volunteers. Remember that our organizers, moderators, and event hosts are real people with real feelings. They are unpaid volunteers and only human — so we ask that you show them grace for mistakes. If an organizer or mod redirects you or warns you to stop doing something, it is generally to try to help you before you receive formal consequences. Harassment, threats, and outright rude or disrespectful language towards volunteers is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.

Consequences for Rule Violations: We believe in fairness and accountability. Failure to follow the rules may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or ban from the 1.5 Gen Asians Meetup group, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation.

We reserve the right to remove any member who negatively impacts others or disrupts community harmony.
