RULES

1. Standard Goth Group Rules (Clear, Practical, Enforceable)
Core Conduct
Respect all members — no harassment, slurs, bullying, or gatekeeping.

No elitism — all goth styles are valid (trad, cyber, deathrock, nu‑goth, romantic, etc.).

No drama — take personal conflicts to DMs or moderators.

No hate speech — zero tolerance.

Content Rules
Stay on theme — goth culture, music, fashion, art, paranormal, horror, etc.

No spam — avoid repeated posts, chain messages, or irrelevant content.

No excessive self‑promotion — allowed only in designated channels or with mod approval.

Triggering content must be labeled — gore, heavy themes, etc.

Safety Rules
No doxxing — protect everyone’s privacy.

No minors in adult spaces — 18+ content must be restricted.

No encouraging self‑harm — support is allowed, but no harmful advice.

Moderator Rules
Mods have final say — respect decisions.

Appeals allowed — but must be done calmly and privately.

2. Gothic‑Themed Rules (Atmospheric, On‑Brand, Still Clear)
Perfect for your GothicNight vibe.

1. Respect the Shadows
All who enter the darkness are equals. No insults, no gatekeeping, no cruelty.

2. Honor Every Path of the Night
Trad goth, cyber goth, metal goth, romantic goth — all styles are welcome.
No “you’re not goth enough” nonsense.

3. Keep the Crypt Clean
No spam, no chaos posting, no off‑topic clutter.

4. Promote With Permission
Self‑promotion is a privilege, not a right. Ask a mod before posting links.

5. Guard the Veil
No leaking private conversations, no doxxing, no exposing personal info.

6. Label the Darker Arts
Gore, heavy themes, or disturbing visuals must be marked with warnings.

7. Respect the Keepers of the Crypt
Moderators maintain the order of the night. Their word stands.

3. High‑Lore “Coven Rules” (Dramatic, Ritualistic, Gothic Fantasy)

1. The First Oath — Respect the Circle
All members of the coven are bound by mutual respect.
No curses cast upon one another — verbal or otherwise.

2. The Second Oath — No Gatekeepers of the Night
All who walk the gothic path are welcome, regardless of style or depth of knowledge.

3. The Third Oath — Keep the Ritual Space Pure
No spam, no chaos magic (trolling), no off‑topic disturbances.

4. The Fourth Oath — The Veil Must Not Be Torn
Private matters remain private.
No revealing identities, locations, or personal secrets.

5. The Fifth Oath — Shadows With Purpose
Self‑promotion, summoning circles (links), or announcements require approval from the Elders (mods).

6. The Sixth Oath — Mark the Macabre
Content involving blood, spirits, or heavy themes must be clearly marked.

7. The Seventh Oath — The Elders Speak Last
Moderator decisions are final.
Disputes must be brought forth calmly and respectfully.
