Queermunity Rules

Welcome to Queermunity, an 18+ LGBTQIA+ friendly Old School RuneScape clan where the clan members of our clan/our community can feel at home. We’re a community of friendly, laid-back players who value respect, humor, and camaraderie. These rules exist to keep our space inclusive, safe, and fun for all members

Respect is Non-Negotiable

Treat your fellow clan members with kindness and respect at all times. We have zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination. No homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, or hate speech of any kind, even as “jokes.” Friendly banter and teasing are fine, but if someone isn’t laughing or asks you to stop, stop. Please respect people’s identities and pronouns; this is a queer-focused community, and we celebrate each other for who we are.

Mature Language & Humor (Within Reason)

● Profanity Overload: Dropping an F-bomb here and there is fine. Posting a rage filled paragraph where every other word is a swear? Not fine.
● Sexual Overkill: Joking about flirting or making a cheeky comment? Cool. Graphic sexual descriptions, kink convos, or unsolicited NSFW content? Not cool.
● Creepy Behavior: Complimenting someone’s vibe or selfie? Chill. Making repeated comments about someone’s appearance or hitting on people who aren’t reciprocating? Creepy.
● Shock Humor: Edgy jokes are risky. If it involves trauma, assault, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Just don’t.
● Ignoring Discomfort: If someone says “hey that made me uncomfortable,” don’t brush it off. It’s your responsibility to pull back and/or take it to DMs.
● Venting is human, and we all need it sometimes, but nonstop negativity, self-deprecation, or explosive rants take over the clan chat can be heavy for some people. Please try to keep these in the DMs.

Substance Talk

We’re 420-friendly and open to casual chat about recreational substances. Talking about smoking weed, tripping on shrooms, LSD adventures, or having a drink after work is totally fine in moderation. Don’t encourage dangerous behavior. If someone seems uncomfortable with the topic, or if it dominates the chat, stop.

Mental Health & Personal Topics

Real life can be tough, and we support each other. It’s okay to talk about mental health, stress, or personal issues – but only in the channels dedicated to that. Our clan is a caring space, but please avoid discussing mental health needs in public or general channels as it can be triggering to others. Furthermore, no one should feel pressured to share more than they want, and definitely no shaming anyone for struggling.

That said, if you’re going through a tough time and find yourself sharing frequently (even in the right channel), or if the conversation starts to center around your situation for a while, we kindly ask that you consider shifting to private messages or taking a short breather. We absolutely want to support one another, just try to stay mindful of the space and how often you’re leaning into it. Our public channels are meant to hold care and connection, but they’re not always the right place for deep or ongoing emotional support. It’s a lot for others to hold, and we can’t guarantee that the responses given are always safe, helpful, or healing.

Heavy or graphic discussions (for example, detailed self-harm or trauma talk) can be hard for others to handle and should be avoided in all channels. If you need to dive deep into a heavy topic, consider moving it to DMs or reaching out for professional help. We’re not therapists, but we can offer empathy and encouragement. Share what you’re comfortable with, be mindful of others’ boundaries, and support each other with understanding.

Politics & Religion

We recognize that politics and religion are part of life and identity, and they might come up. You can mention or discuss these topics carefully, but this isn’t the place for heated debates or soapboxing. If you do talk politics or religion, keep it civil and respectful. No personal attacks or trying to force your beliefs on others.

Representing the Clan (Even Outside)

Don’t harass or troll people in public chats, other clans, or on Discord/Reddit. If you’re wearing our clan name, be decent to each other. No scamming, no toxic trash talking in PvP, no starting flame wars on the forums.

Emojis & Use of Symbolism

Memes like pepe and pogchamp are not allowed, alongside anything else that is commonly used as a dogwhistle. We understand not everyone may have the same associations with them, but we’d like everyone to be able to feel safe, and not second-guess what other’s intentions are.

Moderation & Enforcement

Minor issues will usually get a friendly reminder or warning. Serious offenses (like hate speech or repeated harassment) can result in a kick or ban without much discussion. If you have a problem, whether it’s another member’s behavior or even a moderation decision, you can always DM an admin or moderator privately. We’ll listen and try to sort it out
