COMMUNITY RULES

We want the VR Museum of Science Fiction to be a safe, educational, and fun place for you to visit or hang with your friends. We need your help to keep it that way. The VR Museum Terms of Service and other agreements contain rules that apply to your use of the Museum’s services, so some of these rules may look familiar.

Our Community Rules apply to all visitors to the VR Museum, its services, and its environments. These standards are a guide on how you should interact when inside the VR Museum environment. We included some specific examples below, but just because something isn’t specifically called out below doesn’t mean it’s okay. Following the rules is not super hard. If you violate these rules, however, it can result in action against your account including a permanent ban.  

Personal Information
You’re never allowed to share other people’s personal information other than display names, and we strongly encourage you not to share yours. Sharing or threatening to share someone’s alternate account names, real-world location, real name, etc. is not allowed.

Intolerance and Discrimination
The Museum does not tolerate any form of hate or discrimination. The Museum welcomes diversity in race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, national origin, and other groups. Don’t demean, marginalize, use hateful language against, or belittle other users or groups.

Bullying and Harassment
Respect other people - when chatting, playing or creating. Interacting with others in a way that is predatory, threatening, intimidating, lewd, demeaning, derogatory, invasive of privacy, or abusive is against the rules.

Impersonation
Don’t impersonate other visitors, celebrities, government officials, Museum Staff, or anyone else. Pretending to be someone else in order to deceive or defraud others is not okay.

Dangerous or Illegal Activities
Don’t participate in or encourage illegal or dangerous activities within the community, including gambling, illegal drug use, phishing, human trafficking, prostitution, doxing, swatting, or sharing content that glorifies or incites violence. Threats of harm to yourself or others are taken seriously—don’t make them, especially as a joke. If you see something that puts other visitors at risk, use the Museum reporting system or let Museum support know.

Scams and Deceptive Practices
Do not take advantage of other visitors. Scams or deceptive practices are prohibited, including seeking account information, and buying or selling accounts or personal information.

Inappropriate Content
Content, communications, and activity in the Museum shouldn’t keep others from having positive experiences.

Consequences
The type of action we’ll take for a particular violation of these rules is solely within our discretion and determined on a case-by-case basis. We’ll look at severity, whether you’re a repeat offender, and other factors. Action taken can be anything from a warning for less severe offenses, a loss of access to features, or a permanent account ban. If your account is permanently banned, you may lose all rights to access and any virtual items, account balances, or other items that you may have earned or purchased. If you have multiple accounts, we may take action against all of your accounts.

Visitor Reporting
We are all a part of this community, and it is up to us to keep it friendly, fun, and free of negativity. If you encounter a visitor not respecting the Community Rules or other Museum rules and visitors, you can report them via Museum reporting. If you meet someone you don’t like but aren’t violating the Community Rules, you can block the visitor.

Safety and Security
Keep account information safe and private. Giving access to your account puts you at risk. If something seems suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is. Do not share your account information or the account information of others
