# General Terms of Service
|
||
|
|
On this page basic ground rules are layed down. These will always apply,
|
||
|
|
no matter the service you are using. Service-specific terms of service
|
||
|
|
will always inherit these Terms of Service and can selectively override
|
||
|
|
specific rules listed on this page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All users will be notified of changes to this or the relevant
|
||
|
|
service-specific Terms of Service document by email.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All revisions of this and all service-specific Terms of Service
|
||
|
|
documents can be viewed [here](https://git.staropensource.de/Infrastructure/website-docs/commits/branch/develop/docs/policies/tos).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## §1 *Infrastructure abuse*
|
||
|
|
Do not abuse StarOpenSource's infrastructure, services, members or projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This includes the distribution of malicious software (unless the user is
|
||
|
|
specifically warned about the side effects before the malware is executed),
|
||
|
|
spam or other annoying, disruptive or harming actions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Violations will result in the permanent and irreversible deactivation
|
||
|
|
of all accounts of the violating party on all of StarOpenSource's services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## §2 *Communication rules*
|
||
|
|
Be friendly and kind to other people. Discrimination, manipulation, gaslighting,
|
||
|
|
bullying, trolling, harassing or other forms of harm are strictly forbidden.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifically these cases fall under harassment and discrimination:
|
||
|
|
- disrespecting the chosen gender of an individual
|
||
|
|
- attacking someone for their chosen identity
|
||
|
|
- harassing based on the religion, skin tone, body feature or other things of another person
|
||
|
|
- insulting others
|
||
|
|
- calling people names
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Violations will result in the permanent and irreversible deactivation
|
||
|
|
of all accounts of the violating party on all of StarOpenSource's services
|
||
|
|
if a proper apology by the violating party is not held after 72 hours
|
||
|
|
and a majority vote of the community fails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An exception however can be made to a violation of one's chosen
|
||
|
|
gender or identity if the offender did not know of the victim's
|
||
|
|
gender or identity, properly apologized within 72 hours and stops
|
||
|
|
the violating behaviour immediately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## §3 *Alternative accounts*
|
||
|
|
Using multiple accounts on StarOpenSource's services is not allowed.
|
||
|
|
Multiple accounts can be used to circumvent restrictions and account
|
||
|
|
terminations and are therefore not allowed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Violations will result in the permanent and irreversible deactivation
|
||
|
|
of all accounts of the violating party on all of StarOpenSource's services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## §4 *Reports of misbehaving users*
|
||
|
|
The failure to report misbehaviour 72 hours after learning of one's
|
||
|
|
misbehaviour and the affecting rule will count as assistance
|
||
|
|
and will be punished as hard as the misbehaving party will be.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## §5 *Country laws*
|
||
|
|
Follow the laws of Germany and your country.
|
||
|
|
You surely don't want to get StarOpenSource or yourself into trouble.
