Rules/code of conduct
If you wish to be a part of the "AngryGamerShowNation" you MUST obey the following rules. In order to maintain the high standards of membership in the Angry Nation, all individuals MUST understand and agree to the following “Code of Conduct” before joining.
1. PRIVILEGE VS. RIGHT - Being apart of the Angry Nation otherwise known as the AngryGamerShowNation is a privilege not a right. Just because you are one of the subscribers on YouTube does not mean you are apart of this community. Being apart of this community is a privilege and not a right. We are first and foremost a Gaming Community. Angry Nation, also known as the [AGSN], this was formed to provide like minded gamers of all types a friendly environment where members can discuss ideas, give game advice, form friendships, and converse about any other aspect of gaming with other members. It is our hope through positive play, dialogue with developers and game companies that we can improve and enhance the games we play! So always keep that in mind and there should be no issues. 2. Respect Each Other - The AGSN does not tolerate discrimination, racism or harassment, sexual or otherwise by or towards members. MEMBERS WILL RESPECT EACH OTHER REGARDLESS OF THEIR ORIGIN, NATIONALITY, AGE, GENDER, RACE OR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS! NO EXCEPTIONS! Failure to comply will result in being banned from the community. Please don't use excessive profanity it is okay to use profanity but not every over word. We are passionate enthusiastic gamer's just like Erik, we don’t mind when friends rib each other in good fun, but please keep it within reason. If any other member asks you to stop, please stop. 3. Respect the Chain of Command - Be friendly to new members and respectful towards those of higher rank. Structure and order will keep us strong. Disruptive elements in the AGSN will be removed, we don't have time for your drama or power trips here. This applies to admins, mods, and members alike. 4. Represent [AGSN] - Represent our community wherever you go. If you say that you are apart of the AGSN and are being a total asshole to people or you are caught cheating and we find out. You will be immediately banned no questions asked. It is a privilege to be in the AGSN not a right, so be polite and respectful when representing our community. The way you conduct yourself in front of others leaves an impression on the entire community based on how you acted. The “Angry Gamer” Policy - Because of the special nature of a personality driven gaming community we have to implement a new rule so new members are aware of the policy of conduct towards Erik and have their expectations properly set. If you are looking to sign up to the community for the sole purpose to “talk to”, “play with”, or “get personal time” with Erik, please DO NOT APPLY. Excessive messages, or stalking of Erik or friends that appear on the show will not be tolerated. Please conduct yourself in a civil and respectful manner when interacting with any personalities be it Erik, his other friends on the show or other personalities on YouTube who may appear on the show or in the community. He will do his best to talk to everyone on Twitter YouTube etc. But as the channel grows and gets bigger that is not always possible. So if he doesn't respond to your tweet or comment on YouTube it is nothing personal and please do not take offense to that. "Frankly, I’d like to be able to have a friendship with each and every one of you, as you are the only reason I’m able to do what I do! I am eternally grateful. Unfortunately that’s physically impossible with all of my other responsibilities. This community isn't about me, its about you guys and your combined power! We only have influence and say because of you guys not because of me. Just think of Angry Gamer (Erik) as a silly Mascot for your favorite team! If your only reason for joining is playing with me personally, its likely not going to happen, I’d advise you to please watch and enjoy my Youtube Videos instead. Thanks Guys, You Rock!” - Angry Gamer (Erik) Warning systemMembers are warned on a 3 Strikes System. It is recommended that a Mod or Admin be patient with members so verbal warnings are communicated and confirmed with the member, however this is not required.
1. First Strike - A written warning by an admin or above. A Private message will be issued on the Forums on Reddit detailing the violation and asking that you cease that action in the future. This Strike is removed after 30 days has passed without further rule breaking from member. 2. Second Strike - A second written warning by an admin or above. A Private message will be issued on the Forums on Reddit detailing the violation and asking that you cease that action in the future. At this point the individual's membership status is seriously being questioned by the admins and is being reviewed/monitored. The admins may request an audience with the member to discuss the situation in greater detail. A second strike is only removed after 60 days without further rule breaking. The member will be brought back to “Good Standing” with no strikes incurred. 3. Third Strike (Final Warning) - The Third Strike is unique in that you aren't immediately kicked or banned from the community. We want to give all our members as much opportunity as possible to redeem themselves and reform. At this level a Moderator will issue you a final written warning through the forums and make sure you have received and confirmed it, your actions are now being monitored closely by admins and mods. Your Third Strike will be accompanied by a (3) day suspension from the community. The council will be informed that you are on your Final Warning and for what reason. A Final Warning is only removed with Council Approval and only after 90 days without further rule breaking. The member will be brought back to “Good Standing” with no strikes incurred. Please don’t let it get to this level, ever. Kick/Bans - The member who makes another violation after their Final Warning will be immediately removed from the community. Banned from our Website, and Forums. A Mod or higher must approve the Ban. Members who feel they have been unfairly targeted, given a strike or banned may submit a strike review request. Immediate Bans - The AGSN reserves the right to ban immediately members caught cheating, spamming the forums with advertisements, posting pornography or hate speech, or publicly harming the AGSN’s reputation, Issuing death threats, rape threats or other extremely aggressive behavior. This will NOT be tolerated and you may be subject to violating your local law’s which the AGSN will cooperate with authorities in an appropriate manner to resolve. Thank you all for your love and continued support of the show! Please respect and obey these rules so we all can coexist and interact in a civil manner - Angry Gamer (Erik) |
