Community rules

Treat others the way you’d want to be treated.

• Insults, humiliation and personal attacks are prohibited.
• Bullying, harassment and threats in any form are prohibited.
• Inciting hatred based on nationality, religion, gender, orientation or any other characteristic is prohibited.

• Illegal materials, as well as 18+ content outside specially designated and marked places.
• Shock content, promotion of violence, self-harm and dangerous acts.
• Malicious links, phishing, viruses and any malware.
• Publishing other people’s personal data without their consent (doxxing).

• Don’t flood with messages, emoji, mentions or repetitive content.
• Don’t advertise your channels, servers or websites without the administration’s approval — monitoring exists for servers.
• Don’t abuse the bot: mass requests, inflating activity and bypassing limits are prohibited.

Echo’s features are made to benefit the community — use them for their intended purpose.

• Tickets, forms, bug reports and applications must be on topic — no spam, trolling or made-up problems.
• Don’t rig polls, “Flames”, ratings or reviews; leave a review only based on real experience.
• Don’t submit fake activity reports or inflate points.
• Don’t abuse server economies, stores or bonuses: exploits, bypassing limits and using multiple accounts for rewards are prohibited.
• Don’t use stores or escrow to deceive people; settle deal disputes through the arbiter, not with threats.
• Don’t try to bypass restrictions, role permissions or bans.

In Mafia, Bunker and Scribbles, cheats, exploits and playing from multiple accounts are prohibited. Don’t deliberately throw matches, don’t collude for rating and don’t stop others from playing.

• Don’t share your accounts, tokens, webhooks or sign-in codes with outsiders.
• Grant the bot and members only the permissions they need.
• Report vulnerabilities and suspicious activity to the administration instead of exploiting them.

Some products have their own rules. They supplement the general rules and take precedence within their product:

• Minecraft server — rules on the forum at minecraft.echo-assistants.tech/forum.
• Server stores — echo-assistants.tech/store/rules.
• Echo Deal escrow — deal.echo-assistants.tech/rules.
• Server monitoring — monitoring.echo-assistants.tech/info.
• Echo Studio Discord server — the «правила-rules» channel on the server.

Discord’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines apply everywhere. Violating them is also a violation of our rules.

Administrators and moderators may take measures depending on the severity of the violation:

• A warning — for minor or first-time violations.
• Feature restrictions, a mute or a timeout — for repeated violations.
• A ban — for serious violations or systematic disregard of the rules.
• Decisions are at the administration’s discretion; disputed cases are handled in support.

If you think a penalty is unfair, calmly state your case — insults will only make things worse. Your appeal is reviewed by someone other than the person who issued the penalty.

• Restrictions in Echo and on the Echo Studio server — echo-assistants.tech/appeal.
• Minecraft — the appeals section on the server forum.
• An arbiter’s decision in escrow — appeal within the deal, once.

The rules may be supplemented and updated. Not knowing the current rules does not exempt you from responsibility — the latest version is always on this page.
