TL;DR: Be nice to one and another, stay chill, use common sense, don't do (or continue doing) anything that makes others uncomfortable, and if someone else is making you/another person uncomfortable, bring it up with a moderation/administrator.
Our Terms of Service can be treated as our general rulebook, and what we expect from our members and also outsiders/visitors of our services. Note that for our registered members, these aren't exactly hard guidelines, and exceptions can be made depending on the case - for those cases, we usually provide proper rules for other services.
Our guidelines are as followed:
You are expected to act in good faith, with others outside of our community and with fellow members/those within our community. We want to provide a safe space for ourselves and others.
There is zero tolerance for hate speech and any type of harassment. This includes discrimination, racism, nazism, antisemitism, ableism, queerphobia, bullying, threatening, harming, and everything else in between.
Yes, this also means no "Free Speech" or "Unpopular Opinions" if said "Opinions" wish harm against us and others.
Respect your own and others right to privacy, opinions, and boundaries.
NSFW content is allowed and completely fine by us, but please apply appropriate content warnings if possible for the application.
Anything involving depictions of minors in explicit context will get you suspended and blocked immediately. Depending on the content itself, we may also report it with proper local authorities if required.
This guideline also extends into applying content warnings for anything else that may be unsavory or make other users uncomfortable - as long as it's possible for the application.
Any sort of abuse of our services, including "hacking", Denial of Service, or an unreasonable use of server resources is strictly forbidden.
If proven to be an accidental case, no negative actions will be taken and we will allow for a chance of personal cleanup.
Depending on the application/service, if you find anyone breaking our own Terms of Service or anyone that makes you or others uncomfortable, it's expected that you should report it and let other moderators/administrators take care of it, even if it doesn't directly break any guidelines or rules (based on "vibes").
The servers for Synth.Download are located in Canada, therefore, Canadian laws apply to our services. Nothing illegal, please. Any illegal activity will be reported to the proper authorities.
If we find you breaking these guidelines, or deem you unfit for our services (and therefore, our community) for one reason or another, you will be blocked from interacting with us.
