RULE 2.7READING / 3 PARAGRAPHS
Conflict De-escalation & Mutual Disputes
When a disagreement becomes personal or repetitive, disengage, mute, block, or ask staff for help. Do not follow the other person between channels, quote them to restart the dispute, or recruit friends to continue it.
Claims that “both sides did it” do not erase individual responsibility. Staff may assess each participant separately and may give temporary no-contact directions while evidence is reviewed.
Do not weaponise apologies, demand public humiliation, or require a member to disclose private information as the price of ending a conflict. A sincere apology may mitigate harm but does not compel forgiveness or renewed contact.
