Hello everyone!

EDIT:

Please read the post BEFORE filling out the survey. Some have been complaining about the “no PM RP” Rule, but that rule has already been changed. You CAN Roleplay in PMs. It was already mentioned in this post.

◌ Introduction

First, we’d like to thank all of you for helping this amino reach 20k ! To celebrate, we have prepared some new events, but we have also made changes to our community [guidelines] along with a survey so we can hear from ! You can find all the details below!

The survey consists of questions about the following:

❍ Events

❍ Overall Community Layout

❍ Guidelines and more

Please this survey is for constructive only, it is not a place to rant. If you have any actual problems, a member of staff about it.

◌ Guidelines Update

Once again the [Guidelines] have been changed to what we feel best suits the community, not all rules have been modified or changed, only the following sections have been affected

❍ Private Roleplay

❍ Harassment & Drama

❍ Post Rules

❍ Chatroom Rules

❍ Content Creation

Regarding RP:

Roleplaying has always been allowed in this amino, but private roleplay was not, that included 1x1 and in groups. Only public roleplay was allowed, in dedicated chatrooms. If a Roleplay wiki included hints to 1x1 RP, it was disabled.

With the guideline changes, now you can roleplay both in private and in dedicated public chat rooms. Like before, any nsfw RP is strictly prohibited, and if you are caught participating in that kind of RP, all sides will be punished accordingly, as stated in the guidelines you will receive an immediate ban. If anyone is trying/has tried to do nsfw or any kind of graphic Roleplay with you, please inform a immediately. Please always flag this type of behaviour as soon as it happens.

You will not be allowed to message random to ask for a roleplay partner, instead please make a post or ask in a RP chat to see who is interested. Most people are here to talk about the game and not to roleplay.

Please to keep roleplay out of Teyvat Tavern, it is a general chat and NOT for roleplay purposes. There are dedicated chats for that.

Regarding Harassment/Drama:

such as “L*li” and “Sh*ta” “Tr*p” , “R*tard”..etc were all already banned in this amino, with some explanations for a few of them.

These are still prohibited, but the guidelines have been rewritten so that they can explain clearly why they are not allowed here, with much more detail than before. We want to keep our as safe and comfortable as possible here.

Keep in mind that if you continue to use these /slurs after you have already been warned to stop, you will face harsher consequences.

Regarding Posts:

Like the slur section, the part about controversial posts was rewritten so that posts directly bashing or insulting people for liking a ship, and posts about problematic ships within the community such as “Kaeluc” count as controversial and will be taken down. For the most part this means posts asking about your stance on a ship, unless it is straight up fan art of pedophilia or incest you do not have to worry about your art of them being taken down.

As stated in the guidelines, we are a neutral amino, so do not rant or complain about ships you don’t like/disagree with here. Take that elsewhere.

Regarding Chatrooms:

Do not share flashing images, GIFs or stickers, it could be very dangerous for some . Excessive horror, even if it’s not considered gore, can still be deleted by co-hosts and s.

If you are a host or co-host of a chat room within this amino, please include these rules.

Regarding Content Creation:

This is mostly for art, but please to credit the original artist when posting art you did not make. And if the original creator states they do not want their work being reposted at all (even with credit), your post may still be taken down despite you having credited them.

This does not apply for official work by MiHoYo.

◌ Guideline Comparions (Old vs New)

𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬

Old:

▸ Roleplaying is only allowed in Public Chatrooms made for roleplay. Attempts to roleplay in private if found out will be immediately shut down, and all parties involved will be punished accordingly.

▹ This is because we cannot afford people getting lewd in DMs, as Team Amino can see them and will have no mercy shutting the community down if too many people just want to get down in DMs. This also helps prevent grooming and other predatory behaviors. 1x1 roleplay is fine, but if you can’t make it a public chat, you’re better off going elsewhere.

New:

▸ While you can roleplay in direct messaging, you can NOT go around spamming other member’s messages asking to roleplay. Make a wiki or ask in a public roleplay chat. This behavior will result in an immediate strike, and a ban if it continues.

...

▸NSFW roleplay, like always, is NEVER allowed on the amino. If you even ask to roleplay 18+ content you will be banned on the spot.

𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘𝗦

Old:

▸ Controversial posts and the like that were created to incite drama will be taken down.

New:

▸ Controversial posts and the like that were created to incite drama will be taken down. This INCLUDES posts that are bashing ANY ships, or, alternatively, telling that they should be shipping a certain pairing.

▹ This includes Kaeluc drama. We are a neutral amino, if you want to argue over the ship take it to twitter.

𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 & 𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗔

Old:

▸ Derogatory and slurs are explicitly not allowed and falls under harassment. The “tr*p”, “l*li”, “f*mboy”, “sh*ta”, etc. are included in this category. These are not up for debate - don’t use them.

New:

▸ Derogatory , slurs, and other unfavorable or sexually-implied are explicitly not allowed on this amino. We appreciate your help in making this community as welcoming as possible. Examples of such :

▹ “Tr*p” and “F*mboy” in the context of a male that looks like a female. These have been used over and over again against the trans community, and are not acceptable on this amino.

▹ “L*li” and “Sh*ta” in the context of a child or a character that looks like a child. While the original definitions of these may be different, the common implication is sexual and predatory in nature and so these words are not accepted here as well.

▹ “R*tard” in the context of something/someone acting stupid. This is both rude in general, and is a slur towards disabled people.

𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠𝗦

This section remains mostly the same as before, with this part being a new addition to it.

New:

▸ Refrain from sending/ing flashing images and stickers, as well as images that surround excessive horror.

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

→𝗔𝗥𝗧

New:

▸ When reposting art, writing, etc that is not yours, link the original work or provide the name of the artist and their social media.

▹ If you provide credit but the artist forbids reposts, it will still be taken down.
