A note before you continue. This is a repost of the origional Harrasment Policy as written by Sam and further carried forth by Azag!

————————-

The following guidelines have been created due to increasingly common incidences of sexual harassment taking place on Amino in general. We at Black Metal Amino feel that we have a duty to protect all of our s from uncomfortable or disturbing situations and, as sexual harassment has been increasing in frequency across all communities, the time has come for someone to put their foot down. What we are about to lay out in this post is a comprehensive policy intended to combat sexual harassment and to protect the s of Black Metal Amino from displays of such inappropriate behaviour.

* Please read them in full. *

Clarifying Sexual Harassment

CONSEQUENCES AND PUNISHMENT

• • •

As of April 2017, Black Metal Amino is officially enacting a zero tolerance policy with regards to sexual harassment.

Anyone who engages in sexual harassment of any degree will instantly be banned from Black Metal Amino.

This does not mean that we will ban unfairly. Each case will be investigated thoroughly by our leadership team before punitive actions are taken. We will not take any actions if we are not provided with proof that the incident has occurred and was not taken out of context.

HOW TO REPORT HARASSMENT

• • •

If you have been the victim of sexual harassment, or if you have witnessed an incidence of sexual harassment on Black Metal Amino, please take the following steps to report the incident.

1. Flag the COMMENT/MESSAGE.

Flagging the comment or message will allow the leaders access to the conversation where the alleged incident has occurred. Please DO NOT flag the ’s profile as this will do absolutely nothing to help. Long press on the comment and a menu will appear that allows the Flag For Review option. Certain types of flags go directly to Team Amino instead of to us, and Team Amino will NOT help you unless it is an extreme case.

2. Take screenshots of the incident and send a private message to a leader explaining the situation.

After flagging the comment, please also complete this step. We want to ensure that we have all possible details and we also want the opportunity to ask you any questions we may have. We cannot take any punitive measures if this crucial step is not complete.

Your leadership team consists of:

Leaders:

CAPTAIN

Azag Galla

Curators:

Mr. Wednesday

Rafaela

Sergio

Please be aware that you will be given a strike if you report an innocent with the intent to have them banned. s are encouraged to simply communicate with the leaders if they have issues with any community .

However, if you genuinely believe you have been sexually harassed and leadership determines that no harassment has taken place, there will be no consequences for the false flag.

CLARIFYING SEXUAL HARASSMENT

• • •

The following behaviours are commonly considered by Black Metal Amino to be sexual harassment:

• Sending sexually EXPLICIT things to another via a comment or message

• Sending sexually IMPLICIT things to another via a comment or message

• Making inappropriate requests to another (requesting personal information, information, photographs of any nature, roleplay, et al.)

• Continuing to another after they have requested that you cease

• Sending unwarranted photos of any part of yourself to another

• Sending unwarranted personal information of a sexual or otherwise inappropriate nature to another

• Continuing to another of a much younger age (without a valid reason—to be defined by leadership on a case by case basis) after both parties have been explicitly or implicitly informed of the other’s age*

*This will only be considered harassment if it is causing the to feel uncomfortable. Casual conversation between s of any age is perfectly okay.

If you are experiencing a situation not covered by these guidelines but that you believe should be covered, please let the leadership​ team know!
