Chat and general terms

1. The Gathering

The Gathering (TG) is a celebration of digital culture. Normally thousands of computer and gaming enthusiasts gather in Vikingskipet every easter to celebrate digital culture. TG is a positive and including arena where everyone is welcome to participate digitally. We only ask that you follow the rules in our channels.

We do not allow the use of our platforms for breaches of Norwegian law. This includes, but is not limited to, breaches to the penal codes section on hate speech or illegal file sharing.

This also applies to breaches of the platforms own terms of service. I.e. Twitch, Discord, YouTube and all other platforms in use by The Gathering.

4. Offensive content

Content meant to offend others will not be allowed. This especially applies if the content is aimed at other users in our channels, or others that attend or is contributing to The Gathering.

Self promotion is not allowed, unless the content has a direct connection to TG and/or the conversation in the channel. There are no specific guidelines as to what is considered relevant, but please think about whether or not the content you are sharing is relevant for what is happening at TG, or if the other attendees have any interest in the content. If you happen to be unsure, feel free to contact one of the moderators or staff to ask.

You are not allowed to share invites to any other Discord-servers.
