CTG's Community Standards

1. Follow the Hosting Platform's Rules

Follow the rules of the platform you are using, including the Discord Community Guidelines, the Hypixel Server Rules, and the rules of any other service that hosts a CTG community or project.

Platform-rule violations may also result in removal from the relevant CTG community.

2. Respect Others

Treat others respectfully and help keep the community welcoming. Rudeness, bullying, and harassment are not tolerated.

Light swearing may be allowed, subject to the community's and hosting platform's rules, but offensive or abusive language is not acceptable. Slurs of any kind, including racial slurs such as the n-word, are never allowed.

3. Do Not Spam

Do not flood chats, forums, or other communication channels. Spam includes repetitive messages, unnecessary spacing or blank lines, and large blocks of text that disrupt conversation.

Keep messages relevant to the channel and avoid repeatedly posting the same content.

4. No Begging

Do not ask or pressure others to give you special privileges, Discord Nitro, Hypixel Store items, currency, or similar perks.

Do not post messages such as "DM me for free items" in community chats.

5. No Inappropriate Content

CTG communities are family-friendly. Do not share or discuss sexually explicit or other not-safe-for-work (NSFW) content.

CTG has a strict zero-tolerance policy for mentions or discussion of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), child sexual abuse, or related sexual talk involving children, including content presented as a joke.

Reporting Suspected CSAM

If you encounter suspected CSAM, you are strongly encouraged to report it directly to NCMEC and use the hosting platform's reporting tools.

Do not download, copy, screenshot, save, retain, or forward illegal material. Do not send it to CTG or any member of CTG's staff team, even as evidence or as part of a report.

You may privately alert CTG to a safety concern using a brief, non-graphic description and relevant account or channel information, without attaching or reproducing the prohibited material.

Good-faith private reports of abuse or safety concerns, and private requests for help, are not violations of this rule.

6. Respect Staff Decisions

Moderators and administrators have the final say in community moderation decisions. Follow their instructions and avoid disrupting community channels with arguments about enforcement.

If you believe a moderation decision was incorrect, use CTG123456's Community Punishment Appeal form to explain the issue respectfully. For concerns about staff conduct, use CTG's Community Feedback form.

Submitting an appeal or concern does not automatically reverse a decision or create an appeal option for penalties expressly marked as having no appeal.

7. Protect Personal Information: No Doxxing or Swatting

Do not share personally identifying information in community spaces, even if the information is already public or the sharing is described as a joke.

This includes exposing someone's personal information to identify, target, or harass them, commonly called doxxing. Avoid sharing your own sensitive personal information as well.

Swatting means making a false emergency report to send police or emergency services to someone's location. Doxxing, swatting, or threats to do either will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
