Member expectations

We ask members to help us maintain a constructive and respectful space by:

• Adhering to the server rules and being mindful of how your words and actions impact others (Ephesians 4:29).

• Avoiding blocking moderation staff or bots, as it interferes with their responsibilities.

• Choosing clear and appropriate usernames; those with disruptive formatting (e.g., Zalgo or excessive symbols) may be modified by staff.

Staff expectations

Our moderator team works diligently to make Christianity Discord a welcoming place for everyone. They follow and enforce the server rules with care and impartiality. When necessary, moderator actions may include:

• Removing content that violates server rules.

• Issuing warnings to address concerns.

• Temporarily restricting access or placing users in a containment channel for discussion.

• Applying mutes, kicks, or bans to maintain a safe and respectful experience.

Why we use chat filters

Chat filters help us enforce our standards by automatically catching inappropriate content like swearing, slurs, or spam. If something is flagged by mistake, please open a ticket for clarification or assistance.

Why we restrict links and images for new users

To protect our community, new users cannot share links or images for their first 7 days. This precaution helps minimize the risk of scams, explicit material, and other harmful content from being sent.
