Discord rules generator
for your community.

Use this free Discord rule maker to build clear gaming, community or private server rules. Edit every rule, preview it as it will look in Discord, and copy it straight into your server.

ABOUT THIS TOOL

What the rules generator does

This Discord rule maker writes a numbered server rules post from a few decisions: who the server is for, how strictly you moderate, and what you allow for language, promotion, spoilers and adult content. The wording changes with those choices, so gaming rules, community rules and a private friend-group policy set different expectations.

Core safety rules are always included: respect and hate speech, privacy, scams, spam, safe content and Discord's own Terms of Service. Servers open to under-18s also get a rule protecting younger members. Everything else is optional, and every rule can be rewritten, reordered or removed before you copy it.

Rules are generated in your browser from fixed wording — there is no AI and nothing is sent anywhere. The result is a moderation starting point, not legal advice.

HOW TO USE IT

From settings to a published post

Pick a preset or start from scratch
Presets match CordNexa's templates, such as a gaming community, study group or creator server. They are a quick starting point; change anything afterwards.
Set your audience and moderation style
Audience decides whether minors are protected by a specific rule and whether adult content is possible at all. Moderation style changes the tone and how enforcement is described.
Choose your policies
Set profanity, promotion, advertising, spoilers and voice rules. If you choose a dedicated channel, type its exact name so the rule links to it.
Edit and reorder
Rewrite any rule, move it up or down, remove it or add your own. Settings changes won't overwrite your edits unless you choose to regenerate.
Preview, then post
Check the Discord preview, then copy everything into your rules channel. Long rule sets are split into messages under Discord's 2,000-character limit.

📜 Pixel Party — Server Rules

We want Pixel Party to be an easy, friendly place to hang out. These rules keep it that way, so please give them a quick read.

1. Be respectful

Treat teammates, opponents and staff with respect — no harassment, threats, slurs or hate speech (these lead to an immediate ban).

2. Protect everyone's privacy

Don't share anyone's personal information — real names, addresses, photos, contact details or private messages — without their clear permission.

3. Protect younger members

Adults must not seek private, romantic or sexual contact with members under 18.

4. Keep content safe for work

No sexual, gory or shocking content anywhere on the server, including images, links, usernames, avatars and statuses.

5. No scams or phishing

Suspicious links, fake giveaways, "free Nitro" offers and anything that asks for logins or payment are not allowed.

6. Don't spam

Flooding channels, repeating messages and posting walls of emoji, text or images all count as spam.

7. No self-promotion or advertising

Please don't post server invites, links to services, or your own content, projects or socials.

8. Be yourself

Use your own identity. Impersonating staff, other members, bots or Discord employees — including with lookalike names or avatars — isn't allowed.

9. Play fair

No cheats, exploits for gain, account selling, boosting services, or links to them.

10. Keep spoilers contained

Discuss story details, endings and new releases in club-discussion.

11. Be considerate in voice chat

Don't talk over people, blast music or sounds through your mic, or use soundboards and voice changers to disrupt a conversation.

12. Follow Discord's rules too

These rules sit on top of Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, including the minimum age of 13 (or older where local law requires it).

13. Reporting and moderation

If someone breaks these rules, message a moderator privately rather than arguing in public. Most issues start with a friendly reminder; repeated or serious problems can lead to a timeout or removal.

Thanks for helping keep Pixel Party a good place to be.

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE

Getting it right

Fewer, clearer rules

Members read the first few rules and skim the rest. Put safety and respect first and keep each rule to one idea.

Set moderation expectations

A rule without a consequence or reporting route is hard to enforce. Say how people report problems, what moderators review and how warnings, timeouts or removals are normally handled.

Match the rules to your moderators

Strict rules need moderators who are around to enforce them. If you moderate alone, choose rules you can apply consistently.

Pin it and point to it

Set the channel as your Rules channel in Community settings, keep it read-only, and link to it from your welcome message.

AVOID THESE

Common mistakes

Copying a huge rules list from another server
Rules written for a 50,000-member server feel hostile in a group of twenty friends, and nobody reads them.
Vague rules like "don't be toxic"
Members and moderators interpret vague words differently. Name the behaviour: harassment, slurs, spam, doxxing.
No rule for younger members
If under-18s can join, say clearly that adults must not seek private or romantic contact with them.
Rules nobody can find
Use a read-only rules channel that appears before any chat channel, and reference it during onboarding.

GOOD TO KNOW

Rules generator questions

What rules should a Discord server have?

At minimum: respect and no hate speech, privacy, no spam or scams, content suitable for your audience, and a way to report problems. Add rules for promotion, spoilers, voice chat and community-specific issues as needed.

How many rules should a Discord server have?

Most servers work well with 8–14 short rules. Fewer is better if each rule is clear; group related points rather than listing every possible situation.

Can I edit the generated rules?

Yes. Every rule, the introduction and the closing line are editable. You can reorder, remove and add rules, and copy them one at a time or all together.

Are these rules legally binding or legal advice?

No. They are community guidelines for moderation. If your server has legal obligations — for example, as a business or school — get appropriate advice.

Does this use AI?

No. The generator combines fixed, reviewed wording based on your settings, entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to CordNexa or anyone else.

Where should I post my Discord rules?

In a read-only channel near the top of your server, usually named #rules. With Community features enabled, set it as the Rules channel so Discord can show it during onboarding.
