A COMMUNITY WORTH LOOKING AFTER
Good people.
Clear ground rules.
Speak freely, share generously and treat each other with respect. These rules apply to server channels, calls and community-related direct messages.
Keep professional conversations constructive
Ask questions freely and disagree respectfully. Avoid personal attacks, deliberate disruption and repeated off-topic posts. Use suitable channels and follow moderator guidance.
Protect personal and confidential information
Do not share passwords, access tokens, personal records, client information or confidential work material. Remove identifying details from screenshots and code. Never publish another person’s private messages or details without permission.
Keep security discussions ethical
Discuss security for learning and authorised work. Do not request or support unauthorised access, credential theft, fraud, malware deployment or attacks on real systems. Share vulnerability details responsibly and avoid exposing affected parties.
No scams, spam or harmful content
Do not post phishing links, malicious files, misleading offers, pirated material or illegal content. Label potentially sensitive technical material clearly. Do not flood channels, mass mention members or send unsolicited promotional messages.
Share opportunities responsibly
Use the appropriate channel for jobs, events and resources. Be clear about your role and any commercial interest. Ask moderators before advertising, recruiting at scale or promoting paid services. Do not imply G5 endorsement.
Respect consent and boundaries
Ask before sending direct messages. Stop when someone declines contact. Do not record calls or reuse members’ contributions outside the community without their permission.
Use an honest identity and follow platform rules
Do not impersonate members, moderators or organisations. Follow Discord’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, including its minimum age requirements. Do not bypass verification, restrictions or bans.
Report concerns privately
Contact an admin or moderator with the message link and a brief explanation. Block unwanted contact where appropriate. Do not retaliate, publicly accuse others or redistribute harmful material.
Help moderators keep the community safe
Moderators may remove content, warn, restrict or remove members depending on the issue. Serious incidents may lead to immediate removal. If you believe a decision was mistaken, contact the admin team privately with the relevant details.
