How to join (if you already have a Discord account)
After clicking the invitation link, you will be taken to the Forum’s Discord server.
Any time you’re signed into your Discord account and open the Discord app or log in from a browser, you’ll see the PCCF’s server icon on the left hand side.
The first time you join the server, you’ll be prompted to agree to the rules of the server. These are simple terms of use that outline what behaviour is and isn’t accepted on the server. These are also listed in the next drop-down on this page.
After you’ve accepted these terms, you’ll be given access to the rest of the server. Familiarise yourself with the different channels and take a look at what other people are posting.
When you’re ready, we’d like you to introduce yourself in the relevant channel.
Rules and disclaimers
The Limit Less Discord Server was created by the Institute of Physics (IOP) in collaboration with a focus group of content creators. Though the creation of this server was carried out *with* the community, it is wholly *for* the community. When the IOP is satisfied that the server is thriving and aligned with the goals stated below, the server will belong completely to the community.
This server thrives on mutual respect and by being inclusive to all who embrace this value. Please approach all interactions with this in mind. The server is moderated not to censor, but to identify and deal appropriately with bad behaviours that put other users at risk. This is a strictly 18+ server to best serve the goals of the community.
Content is automatically checked for certain prohibited language by the Discord server settings, but content is not otherwise actively moderated. A combination of founding members from the content creation community and staff members at the IOP administer this server. We follow all official Discord guidelines, terms and policies and so must you. In addition, we ask that you read and follow the IOP Member Guidelines. If you become aware of content which may not comply with any applicable guidelines, terms or policies you should notify an administrator. The administrators have the right, but not the obligation, to remove content placed on this server that they, in their sole discretion, consider to be potentially harmful to other users or to not be in compliance with any applicable guidelines, terms or policies in any manner.
Members are not prohibited from posting commercial content on the server promoting goods and services, provided that the content is directly relevant to the topic of the server and complies with the rules below and those in the Discord guidelines. The member posting the content is responsible for verifying that these requirements are met before posting commercial content. IOP does not promote or endorse any commercial content posted by members and no mention of any organisation, company or individual, whether on this server or on other websites which the content links to, implies any warranty as to their standing, quality or capability on the part of IOP. In addition, IOP accepts no liability for any goods or services provided or promoted by members.
We ask that all community members abide by the following:
Please:
👍 Do keep it friendly and safe for all
👍 Do respect others
👍 Do be careful in sharing your personal information with others
👍 Do contact mods if anything seems suspicious or not in compliance with these rules
🚫 NO explicit language - you will receive three warnings before being banned
🚫 NO explicit content
🚫 NO hate speech, racism, homophobia, bullying, or aggressive behaviour will be tolerated
🚫 NO harassment of any kind

In addition to the above, please read the Discord Privacy Policy. You are responsible for reviewing all relevant Discord terms, policies, and guidelines, and for carefully considering your privacy settings and determining what data and information you may choose to share on the Discord server and in your profile.
