NSFW/NSFL and Sexual Content

• NSFW and NSFL (not safe for work, or things you don’t want to be seen looking at in school or work/not safe for life) is not permitted to be discussed or linked to in main chat. If you are unsure if what you are about to link is NSFW or not, please send a link to a staff member in PM to make sure.
  • Mild innuendos or jokes are allowed in moderation.

Controversial Topics

• Be courteous. While it is suggested you avoid topics that make others uncomfortable (politics, religion, mortality, etc.), if you do discuss these topics do so in a polite, respectful manner. If staff requests or another user states they are uncomfortable and asks that you stop talking about such topics, stop or take it to PM.
• Please do not discuss self-harm or suicide. While we strive to assist users when we can, we are not trained in this field and many users are sensitive to this topic. If you are struggling with these issues, please seek professional help or utilize the resources provided here.

Advertising Discord Servers and Websites

• Linking discord server invites are not allowed in main chat. Please ask for permission from an admin or chat mod if you’d like to share a server in chat.
• Advertising to view your OK K.O.! content on other websites is fine in PMs only.

Violating these rules will result in an action up to the moderator's discretion, but the process is usually muting a user for a certain period of time before a ban is made. If someone commits an offense and is not dealt with in a timely manner (two-five minutes recommended), feel free to ping the moderators or admins so they can notice more quickly.
