Particracy Classic is an online community that consists of players of various ages, cultures, timezones, affiliations, orientations and other characteristics such as different playing styles. It's a vibrant place composed of people who are here to play a political simulation game with other people.
It is based on the principle that everyone - and we mean everyone - should treat everyone and be treated by everyone with respect, at all times.
This principle is expressed by the following rules:
Section 1
01 - Don't discuss warnings and bans on players publicly as it unnecessarily puts a target on them.
02 - Don't search for, circulate, publicly identify, publish or otherwise share personal information on players (doxxing).
03 - Don't impersonate anyone.
04 - Don't share private messages without permission.
05 - Don't discriminate against anyone on their use of English, understanding of other languages and use of Latin-script transliterations.
06 - Don't harass anyone.
07 - Don't spam.
- Harassing means swearing, insulting, attacking and discriminating against others on any basis, including but not limited to religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, creed, colour, nationality and even preference on how to play the game.
- Spamming means sending unsolicited messages to a large number of recipients, posting in a large number of places and posting in a high level of frequency.
These rules are enforced in the following manner:
Section 2
01 - On the game itself, this forum, the game's wiki and the game's Discord server
02 - By the game's creator (Wouter Lievens) and players directly appointed by him
03 - Players can reach out to the game's creator and his direct appointees on violations of these rules by other players, at any time
04 - Players violating them will receive a 30-day ban and then a permanent ban if they violate them again
