Set of bbtag commands used with blargbot for posting to the #rules channel in the Discord Linux server

Glory to the Tux

• Before you begin chatting away, there are a few rules that you should familiarize yourself with. Please note that these rules do not cover everything, and punishment given for reasons not listed is subjectable to staff's discretion.

• If there are ever any issues with staff members, be sure to direct any and all complaints to @sans with a detailed message of what the complaint is.

General Rules

#1 - Be respectful

• Includes personal insults, demeaning behavior, and inflammatory language.
• Know when a debate has turned into an argument.
• Above all else, listen and cooperate with staff members.

#2 -No NSFW or illegal content

• Includes porn, gore, pirated software, talking about illegal activites, etc.

#3 - No spamming or irrelevant messages; English only

• Sending an unreasonable amount of messages in a short time or messages that are unrelated/unwanted is considered spam.
• Posting large blocks of text may also be considered spam; please use the sudo pastebin command, hastebin, or paste.rs.
• Abusing bots is considered spam.
• This is an English only server; refrain from chatting in other languages.

#4 - Use the channels as intended

• Please read the channel topics before using them.
• If the conversation you are having is more suited to another channel, please move it there.

#5 - Don't link to or advertise other servers

• If you want to spread the word about your server, do so elsewhere.
• Server invites will be deleted automatically and result in a warning.

#6 - Don't use a selfbot

• Selfbotting is against Discord's Terms of Service.
• More annoying than useful.
• If you find @sudobot lacking, feel free to make suggestions in #offtopic.

Moderators have final say in the enforcement of these rules or other infractions.

• Don't attempt to loophole or use semantics to get around these rules.
• Respect the intent behind them, not the literal text.
