Rules template for your Discord Server [Unofficial]

Note
This gist may contain rules which may be similiar to any other gist this is just purely co-incidence or the fact that this gist contains rules fully researched and several sources are used including feedback of some discord users

Introduction

You just got a brilliant idea for a new Discord server and launched it right away, but now you must not only configure the channels and permissions, but also tackle the arduous process of creating a set of rules.

There are so many things to think about, so many ways that people could wreck your server, and you also wonder how you can build your regulations in such a manner that members can enjoy their time on your server while not going overboard.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a template or a set of rules that you could rapidly copy, paste, and change? Not to worry, you've just discovered it! You can obtain some ideas for your own server rules from this simple list, which I hope to keep expanding as I find good ideas on other servers. Copy and change as desired. There is no need for attribution.

It is also advised not to build an excessively long list of rules, as this can make it difficult to maintain visitors' attention and cause them to move away before finishing. If you need to create a longer list, attempt to write in a way that will hold their interest. I realise it's not simple, which is why I recommend keeping the list as short as possible.

If you have any other suggestions or would want to recommend a server with a decent set of well-structured, well-thought-out rules, please leave a comment below.
