Community guidelines

Simple rules, big impact

We keep it simple and fair. These aren't restrictions — they're what make Cozy Realm feel genuinely safe and special for everyone.

Built on kindness

Every rule exists to protect people, not to restrict them. Kindness is our default setting and we enforce it actively.

Fair for everyone

Rules apply equally to all members — no exceptions for friends, long-timers, or staff. Fairness is non-negotiable.

Always open to talk

If you disagree with a moderation decision or have a concern, reach out. We listen, reflect, and respond in good faith.

The rules

Our community guidelines

Read through these carefully before joining. They're short, clear, and exist to protect everyone in the community.

1

Be kind & respectful

Treat everyone the way you'd want to be treated. Harassment, hate speech, slurs, targeted insults, or any form of bullying will not be tolerated under any circumstances — first-time or not.

2

No drama or toxicity

Keep the vibes positive. If there's a conflict or misunderstanding, handle it privately or reach out to staff. Airing grievances publicly or stirring things up damages the community for everyone.

3

Keep content appropriate

NSFW content stays strictly in designated channels only. Respect all ages and backgrounds. Main spaces should always feel comfortable for every member of our diverse community.

4

No spam or self-promo

Don't flood channels with repeated messages, reactions, or off-topic content. Advertising or promoting other servers, products, or social media without staff permission is not allowed. We have dedicated spaces for sharing your work.

5

Respect the staff

Our team are volunteers who are here to help, not to police you. If a staff member reaches out to you, respond with good faith and openness. Arguing publicly with moderation decisions is not appropriate.

6

Have fun & engage

Genuinely — that's the whole point. Participate, explore, laugh, and let yourself enjoy this little corner of the internet. Positivity is contagious and we want everyone to feel it.

7

Use channels correctly

Keep discussions in the right channels. Off-topic conversations may be redirected. Using the wrong channel repeatedly after being reminded is a rule violation like any other.

8

Appropriate profiles

Keep your username, avatar, banner, and status appropriate for all audiences. Offensive usernames, NSFW avatars, or impersonation of staff or other members is not allowed.

9

No sharing private info

Never share another person's private information without their explicit consent. This includes screenshots of DMs, real names, locations, or any other personal details. Doxxing results in an immediate permanent ban.

10

No bot abuse

Don't spam bot commands in non-bot channels or use bots to harass or disrupt others. Exploiting bots or server features to bypass rules is treated as a rule violation.

11

English in main channels

To keep conversations inclusive and manageable for our global staff team, please use English in main public channels. Language-specific channels may be available for other languages.

12

Be a good sport

In gaming, events, and competitions — be a gracious winner and a respectful loser. Trash talking, griefing, or gloating excessively ruins the fun for everyone.

By joining Cozy Realm, you agree to follow these guidelines. The staff team has the final say in all moderation decisions. Repeated violations or severe first offences may result in a permanent ban without prior warning.

Enforcement

How we handle violations

Our enforcement is graduated and proportional — but we reserve the right to skip steps for severe violations.

Warning

First offence

A formal warning is issued by staff, either publicly or via DM. The context and intent are always considered.

Timeout

Repeated offence

A temporary mute or channel restriction is applied. Duration depends on the severity and frequency of the behaviour.

Ban

Severe / ongoing

Temporary or permanent ban from the server. Severe violations like doxxing or harassment result in an immediate permanent ban.

Rules FAQ

Common questions about our rules

Clear answers to the questions we get most often about how we run things.

DM any staff member directly, or use the dedicated #report channel in Discord. All reports are handled confidentially and with care. Please include as much context as possible — screenshots are very helpful.

Yes. Send a message to our support email or DM a staff member explaining your situation. We review all appeals fairly and with fresh eyes. We may not always agree, but we will always listen.

Absolutely. Staff are held to the same standard as every member — and in some ways, a higher one. If you believe a staff member has acted inappropriately, contact a different staff member or the founder directly.

Content that is sexually explicit, graphic, gory, or otherwise not suitable for a general audience. When in doubt, don't post it in main channels. Use designated channels if available, or don't share it at all.

Creating or using a second account to rejoin after a ban. This results in an immediate permanent ban of all involved accounts and may be reported to Discord Trust & Safety.

Rule changes are announced in #announcements with clear explanations. We consult the community on significant changes when possible and always give members time to adjust.
