### 5. Stay on-topic!
Every channel has a specified topic.

* You have a suggestion? `#suggestions`
* You wanna make an addon or talk about programming in general? `#programming-help`
* Wanna promote your Slimefun server? `#server-showcase`

### 6. Don't tag people
### 6. Do not tag people unnecessarily
Do **NOT** tag someone to just to get their attention.<br>
More importantly: Do **NOT** tag members of staff just to get your answer more quickly..., you'll be punished instead!<br>
You shouldn't directly message a member of staff either unless they explicitly told you to.<br>

You should not directly message our members of staff either unless they explicitly tell you to.<br>
The job of our staff members is to enforce these rules and keep the server clean and friendly, not to answer every single question you have about why something isn't working or how something works.<br>
**TL;DR:** Our Staff is not your personal 24/7 support hotline, they have better things to do.
<br><br>
The **only exception** to this rule is the role `@helpful`, when asking a question in `#questions`, you are allowed to tag `@helpful` if the question is very urgent, as long as you don't abuse it.<br>
Tag this group once in your question but only once, follow-up messages should **NOT** contain any tags at all.<br>
The **only exception** to this rule is the role `@helpful`. When asking a question you are allowed to tag `@helpful` if the question is very urgent or you have not received an answer for a while, as long as you do not abuse it.<br>
Tag this group once in your question. But only once. Any follow-up messages should **NOT** contain that tag.<br>
You can assign yourself the role `@helpful` by writing `!helpful`.<br>
This will mark you as a helpful person but also gives everyone the explicit permission to tag you when they need help, so be warned.

### 7. No Spam
Do **NOT** spam messages.<br>
* Post your message once in one channel, don't spam it across multiple channels.
* Don't send the same message multiple times in a row.
* Write one proper message instead of a dozen short ones.

### 9. English Only
Please speak English on our discord, as that is the main language of this plugin.<br>
We are not fluent in dozens of different languages, so we will just stick with English to ensure everybody is on the same page.<br>
This also helps us to moderate the server effectively.

### 10. Sensitive topics
Hard and sensitive topics should be kept away from our main channels.<br>
Sensitive topics that are considered mature or could spark a lot of controversy should be moved to `#sensitive-topics`, see the channel-specific rules for this further down the page.<br>
This channel is not execluded from our rules, we also moderate in that channel. All rules still apply, discrimination, nudity or other inappropriate content will still be inappropriate.
We also don't encourage you to make jokes about suicide, drug abuse, drinking problems or other very serious topics.<br>
If you are in need of help, we recommend you to seek it, those are very serious topics and should not be joked about.

The staff at their own discretion if there be a need can take appropriate action.
Please have some common sense and general respect if you wish to not fall under this rule.

If you consider your warning unfair, then please try to calm down first and ask politely. We are also just people, we can make mistakes and are willing to hear your side of the story, should you stay calm, polite and civilized. Do keep in mind rule number 4 though!
