# The Arcane University is a place for focused learning and not off-topic discussion. For that, please go to the Community channels of our members. We are not here to teach you general everyday skills, this server purely exists as a recruitment and training tool for the partnered projects.

# The Arcane University is a place for focused learning. For off-topic discussion and socializing please go to the community servers of any of the partnered projects. This server will not teach skills outside of those relevant to Skyrim modding. We exist as a learning tool for the modding community with the main objective being a place to train, and recruit future modders for the partnered projects.

# As aforementioned, this server purely exists to recruit and train aspiring new members into the partnered projects. As per the concurrent Arcane University reforms, teachers and triumvirate members no longer have the obligation to teach absolutely everyone that enters the server. If we feel that a student is being difficult and immature by not listening to advice and teaching or are simply not progressing, we have the authority to bring this up in the moderation channel and if necessary remove them from their student role - and by extension possibly from the entire server as well
+
# Behave like a civilized adult, and respect the members of the server. We do not tolerate harassment, personal attacks, insults, spam, nor argumentative, disrespectful, aggressive, hostile, or immature behaviour in any way, shape, or form. No member, regardless of role, has any obligation to teach any specific person on the server.
−
# Be prepared to receive constructive criticism. As teachers, we do not say what we say with malicious intent, we say what we say to help. This is not a place to expect sycophantic praise, if you cannot handle criticism or throw tantrums whenever you receive any, we have the authority to remove student roles or remove students from the server altogether should the moderation team find this necessary.  
+
# By submitting your work to the server you agree to react in a civilized manner to any constructive criticism received.
−
# Respect the teachers and triumvirate. If a teacher or any member of the triumvirate makes a request or issues a warning, you should comply with it. We do this for free in our own time.  We do not have the time to sit around arguing. If you defy the will of either a teacher or a triumvirate member, you will be subject to moderator actions.
+
# This server does not allow for the advertisement of mods, projects, or anything else. It is forbidden to specifically target members with the purpose of recruitment. This rule extends to private messages. Individuals or projects attempting to recruit members of the Arcane University will be banned immediately. Please use other sources to recruit for your project, e.g. Reddit/other Discord servers.
−
# Treat other members with the respect they deserve. This goes without saying but treat others how you would want to be treated.

# If you are banned from any of the development, or community servers of the partnered projects, then you will be instantly banned from the Arcane University as well. The Arcane University is also not a place to argue or contest bans carried over from said other servers.

# This server does not allow for the advertisement of other mods, projects, or anything else. The purpose of this server is to train future developers for the partner projects. If you want to get members for your own Skyrim related endeavours, please do it outside of the Arcane University.
