Rules Telegram chatgroup
9 years ago
A while back we’ve made a Telegram chatgroup. This group is meant for all Belgian furries, but of course everyone is free to join. It’s perfect for friendly chatter and to meet new people.
Feel free to click this link and join us: https://telegram.me/befurs
However, to make sure this group is fun for everyone (and stays that way) we’ve set some rules. Nothing special, just some basic stuff. Use the chatgroup with common sense and you’ll be fine.
- The main language is English. That way, everyone can join and understand the conversations.
- This is a general chatgroup, so anything NSFW (including pornographic, obscene or gory content) is not allowed. Other chatgroups exist for that purpose.
- Racism, sexism, discrimination or generally offensive content will not be tolerated.
- Be respectfull, don’t be rude and don’t harass other people. Respect other people’s opinions, even if you don’t agree. Keep it civilized.
- Having another opinion is not the same as a personal attack, keep that in mind when having a discussion. Sometimes you disagree, and that’s fine. Simply “agree to disagree,” and hop on to the next topic. Lots of drama can be avoided by not taking everything personal.
- While it’s perfectly fine (and even encouraged) to show your artwork or fursuit pictures, spamming is not appreciated. Choose two or three or even four of your best images, but don’t start flooding the channel by posting ten or more of them. If you really want to show more, drop a link to your online gallery instead.
- The same counts for GIF’s and stickers. They are fun to use, but don’t overdo it. Don’t start spamming/flooding the channel.
- While everyone is of course free to think and believe what he/she wants, some topics are best to be avoided as they are prone to huge arguments. Including but not limited to: religion, politics, …
- So called “back seat moderators” are not appreciated. It’s fine to notify a mod of a problem, but not to “act” as a mod yourself.
- And last but not least, use common sense!
We have a moderator team that will keep an eye out and intervene when needed.
If you have a problem with something or someone, please contact one of the moderators, rather than starting drama in the group.
Violating the rules or troublesome behaviour in general will result in a warning or, in case of a serious violation, a ban. Failing to comply the rules after multiple warnings will result in a ban as well. In an argument or a conflict, the moderator will always have the last word.
At this point our moderator team consists of
dicebordercollie and 
vinniefox. More people can be added in the future if needed.
This set of rules can be modified/updated at all times. Everyone will be notified through Telegram with every new update. This journal is always the latest and actual version of the rules.
Everyone can join or add people to the group by using this link: https://telegram.me/befurs
This chatgroup is a “supergroup” which means there are some extra possibilities like deleting/editing messages and a centralized chat history. The moderator team has also some extra tools like “pinned posts,” the ability to delete posts of everyone, and deleting members. Blocking members is not possible. More info can be found here: https://telegram.org/blog/supergroups
For new members we recommend to turn off notifications for this group as many people don’t like it when their phone buzzes at every new post. Notifications can be turned off in the “group information” tab.
Have fun!
