Brief description of the Mixed Dorm

The Mixed Dorm is a roleplay chat that you don't need to get enrolled, to roleplay in. You can also roleplay in it regardless of your roleplay style (explicit/semi-lit/literate) and regardless of which class/dorm(Class/dorm Ex or Lit), you are enrolled in.

Rules

Each chat has rules in their descriptions, and the Mixed Dorm is no exception. Rules are in place to make sure everyone can have an enjoyable and comfortable experience.

You should always read the rules of the chat before engaging in roleplay, to make sure you don't do anything that might be wrong or make other feel uncomfortable.

Out Of Character (OOC) Chatting

Out of character (OOC for short) is when you talk outside of roleplay and not as your character. They are usually accompanied with OOC indicators.

(Examples: hi)), hello//)

Out of character chatting and talking is one of the biggest problems in any roleplay chat.

We ask that OOC should always be kept to a minimum. Saying 'Hello' to a fellow roleplayer or explaining a mistake you made, are fine. However it should never evolve in a full on conversation.

Stickers and Pictures

Stickers and pictures should always be kept to a minimum. They must be related to the roleplay in a way. Whether it's a movement, action, or a picture describing the character.

Slurs/ racial slurs

Slurs and racial slurs are not allowed. They should be prevented, as they go against Amino rules. They can also make some people uncomfortable and can be a sensitive topic.

Keep It PG-13

This should be a given, but all content in the chat should be PG-13. No inappropriate images or any inappropriate roleplay.

Respect the staff

If a staff member (Leader/ curator/ junior mod) tells you to refrain from doing something, you should stop at once. If you continue and don't stop, you will only exacerbate the situation and escalate the severity of your punishment.

Of course if you think the staff member is abusing his/her power, feel free to any of the leaders and explain the situation.

Punishments

Punishments scale on the severity of an incident and whether or not you continue, despite being told to stop.

The punishments range over a warning, a temporary kick from the chat, and a strike, until it peaks over the final sanction, which is compact of a permanent ban.

Closing off

Thank you for reading!

The Mixed Dorm has been a hot spot for arguments and rule breaking. So I hope this post may help clarify and clear up confusion.
