Triden Policies

We want to keep Triden a fantastic place to have fun. To that end, we have a few rules and policies that help keep everybody safe and things running smoothly. Collectively, the following constitute our Code of Conduct, which must be abided by to participate in games, events and other server activities.

Server Rules

Last Updated: 08-Mar-2022
  1. Be welcoming & respectful. No bullying, discrimination, or harassment of any kind (e.g. berating, targeting, harassment), whether directed to individuals or groups. No offensive, hurtful, discriminatory, or profane language in the chats or in nicknames. No references to real-world politics or religion.
  2. Be positive & supportive. Keep the conversation on topic and don't criticize people. Avoid accusatory language, or being overtly argumentative. Deliberate baiting or trolling will not be tolerated.
  3. Keep public channels PG-13. Some leeway is acceptable during games and in private chats, but only if everybody present is comfortable with it (i.e. always ask before). In any case, we never tolerate any form of NSFW (obscenity/nudity/sex/gore/disturbing) discussion or material.
  4. Abide by the discord rules and any applicable legislation in your country. Importantly, we do not tolerate piracy of game materials.
  5. No spam or self-promotion (server invites, advertisements, etc) without permission from the leadership. If in doubt, feel free to ask! Abusing @-pings is also considered a form of spam.
  6. If you see something against the rules or that makes you feel unsafe, please inform a Mod (green username).
  7. These rules are cursory, not exhaustive. Our disciplinary policies are enacted by the Moderators at their own discretion, as detailed further down in this channel. Ignoring, dismissing, or disrespecting Triden Staff may result in disciplinary action.
  8. Most importantly, have fun!

Disciplinary Policy

Last Updated: 13-Oct-2022
  1. If you see anything that concerns you, which contravenes these rules, you should privately message any of our @Moderator with green names on Discord, currently: @π”‡π”¦π”°π” π”¬π”―π”‘π”žπ”«π”±#4688 . Alternatively you can use this form to report a concern anonymously: https://forms.gle/2hnJXbbZ4x4ToZrXA.
  2. Any contravention of the Server Rules will be investigated by a Moderator.The Moderators are empowered to issue a warning / penalty at their discretion, up to and including a ban from the server.
  3. If a DM asks for any information prior to a session this must be submitted 24 hours in advance, or longer if specified by the DM. Players must also give a minimum of 2 hours notice to the DM in the event that they are unable to attend, to enable another member to enjoy the experience. If this notice is not possible, they should message the DM as soon as possible with a brief explanation. Real life can of course get in the way, but there is an expectation for all members to treat their DMs with respect wherever possible. DMs may report no-shows / no-contact to a Moderator. Resident DMs will report all such instances 24 hours after game time. The server operates a 3 strike policy for unexplained no-shows. Strikes last for a year, are recorded, and are visible to server Staff and Resident DMs. A third strike will result in a ban from signing up to Resident DM games.
  4. Members will always be notified privately on Discord of any instance of disciplinary action they are the subject of, citing the incident and penalty. We are still in the process of clarifying a couple of points to ensure that all games keep running smoothly.
  5. Members can appeal any disciplinary action to the Head Moderator.In exceptional circumstances or if there is a conflict of interest, the Head Moderator may pass on an appeal to the Admin.The result of this appeal will be delivered privately on Discord and will be a final decision.

Streaming Policy

Last Updated: 23-Jan-2022
  1. If DMs want to stream a game, this must be advertised on the listing along with the platform / service it will be streamed to.
  2. All players must explicitly consent to being streamed.
  3. All content in the game must be PG-13.
  4. Safety tools must be in place and players briefed on their use.
  5. The link to any VOD must be sent to players after the session.

Confidentiality Policy

Last Updated: 08-Mar-2022
  • During the running of this server, information will only be disclosed to those people who need to know it, like decision-making staff. Even then, the amount of that information is limited to the amount that is necessary for decision-making.

Duplicate Signup Policy

Last Updated: 29-Jun-2022
  • You may sign up to the same module more than once in the same month. People may want to do this for many reasons, for example if perhaps their availability isn’t known. If signed up to duplicates of a module and you play in one of them, please drop from the alternates to allow others a chance to experience it.

Discord Use Policy

Last Updated: 10-Aug-2022
  1. Check the pins of any given discord channel they use and follow any specific instructions given.
  2. Use threads to contain open ended / wide ranging conversations. You can press the plus or hash button when creating a message to turn it into a thread. For more information on threads please see: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403205878423-Threads-FAQ

Game Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: 15-Sep-2022
  • We make every effort to run games as scheduled, but occasionally real life gets in the way… even for DMs! Before cancelling a game a Resident DM will check whether another can cover it, if this is not possible the game will be cancelled and as a gesture of good will a bonus sign up credit will be given to each listed player.
  • In some cases, a Resident DM will re-arrange the game, or run it in the next month's schedule. However, we cannot guarantee this will happen in all cases.
  • It is very rare for a game to be cancelled, but if it happens please be understanding.
