We have a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry, harassment, or abusive behaviour within our Discord community and at ESFF events or activities. Concerns or incidents should be raised with the moderation team through Discord.
Our Discord, website, and online events are 16+. Some daytime in-person events may be open to younger attendees if accompanied by a member, though this may vary depending on the venue and event.
Be polite and respectful in all conversations. We are all here to enjoy each other’s company. While we like to have fun, some boundaries should not be crossed. If you have a dispute with another member, please raise it with the moderation team rather than continuing or escalating it through direct messages or in-person interactions.
If you wish to DM (direct message) another member, ask permission first and respect their response if the answer is no. If a conversation begins around a specific event or topic, avoid assuming this extends to unrelated conversations unless mutually agreed.
No explicit NSFW content should be posted in public Discord channels. If sharing work containing potentially triggering or explicit material, please consider warning readers and using spoiler tags where appropriate. Example: Trigger warning... || hidden text ||
Do not post content promoting violence against others or self-harm.
Do your best to use the appropriate channel for conversations. If a discussion becomes a prolonged back-and-forth in a general channel, please consider using threads to avoid flooding the channel.
Respect the moderation team and their role in maintaining a safe and welcoming community. If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, you may raise concerns privately with the moderation team.
Please only post work for critique in designated critique channels. If sharing work through another method (email, DM, etc.), only do so where it has been requested or agreed to.
Self-promotion is encouraged in the appropriate channels — celebrate your work! Consider using #self-promotion and #yay, though relevant links may also be shared naturally within conversations where appropriate.
Author profiles are personal spaces for members to showcase their work, projects, and links. By creating or maintaining a profile, you agree to the following:
