+====== Game Rules ======
+===== General Content Guidelines =====
+This website and our Discord server are governed by a set of content rules that all members are expected to follow. Please pay close attention to this article as failing to do so may result in coaching, timeouts, or outright bans.
+This content guide is not intended to be comprehensive. Moderators may remove content deemed inappropriate at any time, without notice.
+We require that all content, regardless whether it is posted on the website or Discord server, generally not exceed ''PG-13''.
+<WRAP center round alert 60%>
+**Not Safe For Work (NSFW)** content is never permitted, ever.
+</WRAP>
+If you must drop strong language, consider placing it inside a spoiler tag.
+===== Discord Etiquette =====
+This section contains information specific to the Discord Server.
+  * Start new RP with a description when the RP takes place, Star/Calendar date or relative to events like
+    * ''RP takes place on Stardate 24601''
+    * ''RP takes place right after event name''
+    * ''RP takes place during #some-event-channel-name''
+  * Remember to end your RP with ''END'' so others know the story is complete.
+  * All channels outside the OOC CHANNELS category is considered In Character.
+  * Use of [[https://tupperbox.app/|Tupperbox]] is encouraged but not required.
+  * Threads can be used when RP breaks away inside an event, but try to make sure the timing between the breakout-threads and main story is consistent
+  * //Never// create a Tupper based on someone else's Tupper.
+===== Large Language Model Policy =====
+The use of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model|Large Language Models]] (LLM), sometimes colloquially known as Artificial Intelligence (AI), is allowed with some considerations:
+  * Your writing should be your own. Stories, posts, and role play should come from your mind and creativity.
+  * When leveraging LLMs for research, make sure you double-check sources for possible errors.
+  * Do not feed the content of other member's works through an LLM without the other member's express permission.
+  * The use of an LLM for formatting, proofing, or other technical work is permitted provided doing so does not violate any other rules.
+\\
+<WRAP center round important 80%>
+Please be aware that recent studies and reports have linked the overuse of LLMs to [[https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872|cognitive decline]] while also being [[https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2025/new-ebu-research-ai-assistants-news-content|wildly inaccurate]]. Exercise caution when using this technology to ensure it remains a tool, not a crutch.

+==== Reasonable Accommodations ====
