O O C - R U L E S
Like any community, to thrive we need some order, and so the rules were made. For sake of fairness and safety, you will not be allowed to interact within the discord until an application form is filled in and approved, this also allows us to see that you have read the rules thoroughly and agree to abide by them. However, if you have any concerns or issues, please do not hesitate to contact either me or any of our three mods. Our contact details can be found HERE
NO MIXING I C / O O C
A common issue, and easily done if you're in a negative headspace, we ask that while playing within the community that there is no mixing IC actions with OOC. We know it's easy to misread a situation, but within Salacious Sweets we aim to protect the safety and peace within our community. If you feel at any point that this is becoming an issue, we ask that you approach a member of the mod team for advice.
RESPECT
Opinions/ Interests/ Backgrounds/ Sexuality/ Race/ Religion/ Beliefs - opinions on these topics and so many more will vary from one individual to the next, we're unique in that sense, which is why we ask that you treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. Be mindful of how your actions affect others, while it's not your responsibility to walk on eggshells, for a community to function it's important that we respect one another.
DISCORD/CONFLICT
This is a tender subject, but one that needs to be broached. Though the internet is endless, our roleplay community is surprisingly small, which in turn means that we may need to rub shoulders and share space with people who we are uncomfortable being around. I understand more than most how uncomfortable and painful it can be when someone has done you wrong and is then active in a place you want to feel comfortable, but unfortunately, the reality is we, as mods, can't ban people based on personal circumstances. However, we have added a safety measure in the application form, providing an area where you can share any concerns you may have privately. In filling this part out, you will be giving our team members awareness so that we can continue the comfort and safety of our members.
BULLYING
Tying in with the topic above, I would like to take this time to stress the fact that I have NO tolerance for bullying in any shape or form, Salacious Sweets was created with the intent of being a safe haven of sorts and shall remain that way. Examples of this include;
Purposefully interrupting/talking over another member, ostracising fellow members, manipulating, gaslighting, belittling the feelings/achievements of others.
However, please note that if you have someone blocked for personal reasons, this section does not include you.
TRIGGERING TOPICS/ TRAUMA DUMPING
Yes, this is a 21+ server, but we would like to remind you that the online world is usually escapism for most people, which is why we would like to keep this a safe space by placing trigger warnings were necessary. If you feel, or know, that what you're about to discuss could potentially be a trigger, all we ask is that you bold the beginning with TW, including said triggers.
And last, but not least, i'd like to cover Trauma dumping. Now I know that mental health is exhausting, it's suffocating and isolating, especially if you have trauma tangled up in already agonising knots. However, it's important to remember that we will never be aware of what has happened in the lives of others or what could be a trigger for them. So, for the sake of safety, it is important for the safety of yourself and others to be mindful of this rule.

CHARACTER AGE
Characters MUST both look and be over the age of 21+, this includes any art and content related to said character. There is no bending or breaking this rule if you are found to be playing the character that is tied to the bakery in illegal/underage activities you will be BANNED from the server and interacting with Salacious Sweets.
THREADS / ROLEPLAY
Once you have been approved for roleplay, a mod will grant you a specialized role that will allow you access to the In Character section of the server, from here you may create threads in any channel. If you make a thread though, please include OPEN or CLOSED to let other members know whether or not it's free for all or private. Also, remember to @ whoever's turn it is to post next, and remember to respect post order. Any sexually explicit scenes are to be done in either a private thread or out with the server. Once a scene is complete. remember to notify a mod so that we can close it.
Threads will be lightly moderated, unless private or requested otherwise. If you have any issues, please contact a member of the moderator team.
CONTINUITY
Salacious Sweets is an open world, mid-magic, and set loosely in 19th Century. Taking inspiration from Studio Ghibli's - Howl's Moving Castle, our little world is accessible through several locations, which will allow for characters from any background to be a part of our wee family. However, while writing within our community, it is important to note that any major actions that have not been approved by staff will be either ignored or retconned.
For your character to be allowed in the IC section, your application must be accepted and the role granted to you by one of our Moderator team.
FAIRNESS
Bit of a self-explanatory section, by agreeing to the rules you accept that your character cannot be overpowered or attempt to control another player's character without consent.
POST ORDER
When interacting in the IC section of the server, please be sure to respect the posting order. This means waiting for replies from necessary players before taking your turn.
However, if it is a group roleplay and a user is inactive for 7+ days without giving ooc reasons, once you've notified a mod and have permission you may skip that person.
