Community Guidelines

TarValon.Net is dedicated to supporting our members in having fun, building community, and celebrating service. These Community Guidelines serve as our Code of Conduct and are designed to provide rules and expectations of behavior by our members while participating on official platforms and at official events. Additionally, reported content from unofficial spaces that violate these Community Guidelines may impact a member’s standing at TarValon.Net.

Member Expectations

We expect our members to engage with each other in a civil manner, consider their words before posting, and remember that there are real people behind the avatars on the forum. A supportive community atmosphere depends on all of us!

These expectations are in place for all members, regardless of position within the community. If a member does not uphold expectations and commits a prohibited action, then follows up with hostility and/or refusal to comply with administrative requests, that would be considered an additional offense.

Our community is run entirely by unpaid volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to maintaining a positive environment. While constructive feedback is always welcome, abuse toward volunteers is not acceptable.

Statement of Inclusivity

We are members of TarValon.Net because we have read or watched the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. That, or we have friends that did and pulled us in! We respect and value the diverse backgrounds of all our members and strive to make everyone feel welcome in the community.

Prohibited Actions

The following behaviors and actions are considered inappropriate and will result in disciplinary action as determined by the moderation team:

  • Personal attacks, including but not limited to bullying, gaslighting, or threats or intimidation
  • Hate speech
  • Defaming members of our community
  • Trolling
  • Dogpiling or briganding
  • Harassment
  • Doxxing (see Anti-Doxxing Policy)
  • Posting pornographic content
  • Refusing to follow administrative directives (e.g., edit requests, gag orders)
  • Any other purposefully harmful conduct

This list is not exhaustive, and actions that are in opposition to the above Member Expectations statement that align with the listed Prohibited Actions here will result in disciplinary action.

The following could result in immediate termination of membership and banning from all functions and services associated with TarValon.Net
  • Any attempt by a member to intentionally deceive by misrepresentation of their personal information, general location, or previous membership within our community.
  • Committing acts which violate federal, state, regional, or local laws which might bring the community to public disrepute.
  • Committing acts likely to result in actual or threatened claims against TarValon.Net.

TarValon.Net reserves the right to refuse service or access to any individual at the discretion of TarValon.Net leadership. Refusal of service may include, but is not limited to, temporary or permanent removal of content, prevention of contribution of content, or temporary or permanent removal of membership. Withholding of services will not be determined based on protected classifications such as race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, country of origin, or disability.
