### 2.3. Voice Channels

Communication via voice channels take place within the server, therefore the same rules apply there, as well as some additional domain specific rules.
All rules apply to conduct in voice channels along with additional rules.

* Ensure a quiet background by muting when AFK or talking to people not in VC.
* Avoid exessive background noise from keyboards, fans, TVs, music, etc.
* "Echoing", or reflecting other people's voices back should be minimized.
* This usually happens when the microphone picks up audio from open back headphones or speakers.
* Consider using closed back headphones or earbuds; increasing the voice activity threshold can also reduce echoing along with echo cancellation in voice settings.
* Avoid disrupting ongoing conversations and interjecting.
* Refrain from obnoxious behavior such as yelling or otherwise disturbing others.
* If you wish to mention something off-topic or to get someone's attention without interrupting, consider using the built-in text chat for the voice channel.
* When first entering a chat, be mindful of the conversation currently going on. Don't interrupt an already ongoing conversation with something unrelated.
* Leave room for others to speak, try not to dominate or take over the chat.
* If you want to start a different topic but there is already a discussion, create or join another channel.
Read the room before interjecting.

#### 2.3.a General Voice Rules
* All text rules apply when communicating via voice channels if applicable.
* No live streaming any content that breaks any server/text based rules.
#### Moderation
Moderators have broad discretion over enforcing voice channel guidelines, but will act in the best interest of upholding the spirit of the rules.

#### 2.3.b Voice Etiquette
* Please maintain a quiet background by muting when away or speaking with others not in VC.
* Your voice should be the only thing audible, try to avoid background noise from keyboards, fans, TVs, etc.
* No disruptive music or desktop audio should be played through self inputs.
* Streaming with sound is okay, but other users should not be forced to mute you if they do not wish to listen to your audio.
Examples of moderation expectations:

#### 2.3.c Flow of Chat
* Allow ongoing conversations to conclude before interjecting.
* Refrain from disrupting conversation such as yelling and obnoxious behavior.
* If you wish to mention something off-topic without interrupting, consider using the built-in text chat.
* Leave room for others to speak, try not to dominate or take over the chat.
* If you want to start a new topic but people still wish to discuss the current topic, consider creating or joining a different channel.
* When first entering a chat, be mindful of the conversation currently going on. Don't interrupt an already ongoing conversation with something unrelated. Read the room before interjecting.

#### 2.3.d Moderation
* Moderators have broad discretion over enforcing voice channel guidelines, but will act in the best interest of upholding the spirit of the rules.
