In order to keep this dorm tidy and controlled, a set of rules will be enforced. A system of consequences for disobeying these rules are also below. These rules are:

1 • Absolutely zero bullying is to be tolerated. This dorm is to be a safe place, meaning that unkind behaviours will not be allowed.

2 • Relating to the above rule, no derogatory or discriminatory language will be accepted at all. This is a very serious rule and is included in the harsher version of the consequence system.

3 • Spamming and chain messages are, unfortunately, disallowed. This is to prevent clogging up the chat.

4 • Private harassment from any of our members is not to be tolerated.

5 • Doxxing is absolutely forbidden and will result in immediate banishment and reporting to HiH authorities. If you have been doxxed, it is likely also a good idea to report this to your local authorities.

6 • Swearing is not banned necessarily, but keep it to a minimum and no extreme profanities. Err on the side of caution-if you aren't sure whether you should post it, you probably shouldn't.

7 • Innapropriate content will also result in a ban. I mean, just why?

In addition to these rules, always follow the HiH Code of Conduct.

Consequences for disobedience:

We will have a tiered system for consequences of rulebreaking. This means that the first instance is on the first level, the second instance on the second level, and etc.

First instance: private warning via owl.

Second instance: public warning on the dorm feed.

Third instance: kicked from the dorm. There will be no reconsiderations. If you've broken the rules three times knowingly after two warnings, I personally don't want to give you a fourth chance. 

However! For some rules, which are more serious than others, harsher consequences will be enforced. 

For breaking rules 1, 2, and 7, the following system will be in place.

First instance: public warning and muting of messages for one week (effective equivalent to a suspension).

Second instance: kicked from the group. Banned for life. If found out to have joined under other names, will be kicked and other members will be warned not to interact.

If broken any of the HiH CoC rules, you'll be reported to Headmistress Oshiro.

As for Rule no. 5, if broken, you can welcome a ban for life, reports sent in to professors authority, HiH authority, and as advised to the victim, hopefully local authorities too. Doxxing is disgusting and my heart goes out to all its victims.
