Rules & Moderation of Livepeer Discord

Governance
1

Overview: Please review the following rules and moderation that are being suggested for the Livepeer Discord.

As this is my first post, I wanted to introduce myself. Hello everyone, my name is En Canada (pronouns: they/them) and I am the new Community Manager at Livepeer Inc.! I was previously the Program Manager and have since been promoted. I have years of community building, moderation, and web3 experience. I am deeply passionate about the web3 industry. I am hoping to push the industry to see wider technological adoption!

Please find the rules and moderation overview below:

Rules

1. No LPT Price Speculation. Join our Telegram if this interests you.
2. No bigotry of any kind. Livepeer is a global community and all core identities are welcome. Please see “Discrimination by Type” [hyperlink will be included] by the U.S EEOC for a list of protected classes.
3. No self promotion outside of ⁠🕺│builder-showcase. Keep self promotion to Livepeer ecosystem projects.
4. No link posting for @/members. @/Video Builder role may post links in #builder-showcase, however discovery of any phishing links or overuse will result in role removal and warning.
5. Be respectful and civil. Insults, harassment, witch hunting, and threats of violence will not be tolerated. This includes DMs resulting from Livepeer Discord conversations.
6. Swearing is allowed, however please refrain from using swears in heated conversations and never direct them at others. If someone requests to not use a swear word, this should be respected. Use common sense here. Slurs are never allowed and will result in immediate ban; see rule #2.
7. Livepeer Inc. impersonation is an immediate ban.
8. No NSFW or obscene content. This includes text, images, or links featuring nudity, sex, hard violence, or other graphically disturbing content.

If you believe a rule has been violated, please contact moderators using a ticket.

Consequence Structure

  • First warning is a written warning
  • Second is a 1 day timeout
  • Third is a 7 day timeout
  • Fourth is ban

The warnings reset every year. Note of repeated rule breaking behavior will be noted.

Be warned that more serious violations can result in faster consequences or immediate ban up to the decisions of moderators.

There has already been some conversation in the Discord under the Governance channel. An appeal process has been requested and I am looking into this as a medium term implementation.
