Rules1. Respect
1.1. Discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, or religious/spiritual beliefs will NOT be allowed.
1.2. Be respectful of the opinions of the other posters; if you disagree discuss in a civilized manner, and never resort to personal attacks.
1.3. The forums are
open to the discussion of all subtypes of Roguelikes, including traditional turn-based roguelikes, action roguelikes ("roguelites") and, in general, procedural games with meta-progression. The debate of "what a roguelike is" has gone for ages, don't think you hold the ultimate truth about it. Do not bash people if their definition doesn't fit with yours.
2. Writing / Formatting
2.1. Make your best to write correct English, use punctuation marks, take your time to check the spelling. This is a turn-based world, there's no need to hurry
2.2. Do not deliberately make your posts inaccessible or hard to read (for example writing in ALL-CAPS, excesive formatting or "l337 writing")
2.3. Do not use foul language
3. Profiles
3.1. Images in signatures may be fancy in other places. Not here
3.2. Avatars are cool, but please keep them in context, do not use sexually explicit images and/or anything else that could be generally disliked. If in doubt, ask your nearest moderator.
4. Content
4.1. Discussion of topics unrelated to roguelikes, such as politics and religion is not allowed.
4.2. Advertising your roguelike is allowed, limit your promotion posts to 1 per week and keep a single thread for all your updates.
ModerationModerators at their discretion are enabled to proceed as follows:
- Delete the content of offending posts and threads, replacing them with the text: "(Deleted as offensive)", at their discretion.
- Delete subsequent posts regarding the discussion about deletion from the offender.
Executive ActionsFailure to comply with the above runs will result in warnings and ultimately a permanent ban if your behavior continues.
