Private Messages, Recordings & Consent

Do not publish private DMs, group chats, voice recordings, private tickets, or other non-public communications without permission from the people depicted, except when sharing relevant evidence privately with authorised staff, Discord, or lawful authorities.

Recording or live-streaming a voice conversation requires informed consent from every participant and compliance with applicable law. Announce when recording starts and stop if consent is withdrawn.

Evidence shared for a report must be limited to what is relevant. Redact unrelated personal information and never retaliate against a reporter, witness, or subject.
