Our Mission

Riichi Victoria a.k.a. the Victorian Riichi Mahjong Association, established officially in 2024, is a Melbourne based riichi mahjong club that welcomes players of all skill levels. Our purpose is to promote the enjoyment of riichi mahjong for our members, and build a fun, fair, and welcoming community across the whole state.

Our constitution and association rules can be found here.

Riichi Victoria is dedicated to creating an inclusive and positive space to promote the enjoyment of riichi mahjong for everyone, and build a fun, fair, and welcoming community across the whole state.

As such we have created a code of conduct to further solidify the values of VRMA and continue to uphold the standards of our exceptional community members. We believe that these guidelines will reinforce the respect between both VRMA and the community and the varying community members themselves. In addition it will provide an ultimate reference for all of us, ensuring that our vision will remain pure. VRMA will enforce and update this code as the community grows.

By entering our community spaces you agree to adhere to these guidelines.

Staff Officers have ultimate discretion over what they do and do not consider a breach of conduct.

Code of Conduct

We expect everyone to act with integrity and respect towards members and non-members alike when participating in club events, using club communication channels, or otherwise representing the club.

We do not tolerate any form of harassment, including but not limited to: inappropriate or unwelcome physical contact or sexual attention; sharing material that is sexually suggestive, harm/gore, real-world criminal activity, including server profiles, display names, verbal remarks, attire worn to events; sharing material that is denigrating with respect to race, ethnicity, religion, colour, national origin, age, disability (physical or mental), sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as gender expression, mental illness, socioeconomic status or background, neuro(a)typicality, or physical appearance; deliberate intimidation; misogyny; stalking; sustained disruptive behaviour. 

Illegal or violent activity will result in an immediate ban, and if necessary, the involvement of law enforcement.

There is zero tolerance for soliciting, encouraging, or facilitating any kind of cheating or gambling during any official club event or through any club social media platforms.

Additionally, members are expected to maintain a respectable level of sportsmanship when playing and competing, which includes but is not limited to not leaving or otherwise disconnecting from matches, cheating, or other similar behaviours. All equipment used, whether club-owned or member-owned, should be treated with care.

The Code of Conduct applies to all club members and non-members using the club equipment, social media platforms, or attending any club events.

Members and non-members alike who are asked to stop are expected to comply immediately. Non-compliance may result in warnings and expulsion from Riichi Victoria without refund of any fees.

Abandonment of the Code of Conduct will be addressed by Staff Officers with appropriate corrective measures.

The sanction will reflect the severity of the behaviour, with repeated offenses leading to escalation as follows:

  1. Warning

  2. Suspension for a determinate period (e.g. one night, one month, etc.)

  3. Ban

If someone is clearly breaking the rules, please contact a staff member on Discord, or use the anonymous form here.
