Good server rules are short enough to read and specific enough to enforce. Start with a one-line welcome that explains the server's purpose and tone.
Cover the essentials: respect other members, no harassment or hate speech, no spam or self-promotion without permission, and no sharing private information.
Add a short section on voice chat, age-appropriate content and staff instructions. Explain how warnings, mutes and bans are applied so moderation does not feel arbitrary.
Finish with an appeal path. A simple ticket or moderator DM gives members a way to ask questions and keeps disputes out of public channels.
Quick tips
- Keep the main rules under ten lines.
- State the consequence for each rule.
- Provide one clear appeal channel.
