This is a topic that contains announcements and rules that pertain to the forums. It’s closed for replies, but it will be bumped to the top whenever it is updated with something new. Please don’t link this post to new users, it’s really not necessary. If you have any questions or concerns regarding what’s posted here, you can contact the mod team here.
(To save you reading time, new announcements/rules are bolded)
Announcements!
These rules and announcements are no longer maintained by @Blackhole927. Instead, the current staff team manages them.
Additional Rules.
-
No hard to read text please, it’s annoying to moderate.
-
No sharing emails, Padlets, Google Docs, Canvas, link shorteners, self-hosted forums, or any other off-forum communication method besides the official Discord and WIX, anywhere. This includes bios.
-
Dropdown chains, infinite bubble wrap bumps, and hidden chats are off-topic and not allowed.
-
Thumbnail and idea polls are not allowed as they encourage chatting. Therefore, don’t create polls with that use case.
-
Before posting in a research topic, read the first post comprehensively. Do not bump research topics unless you have anything to contribute.
-
Do not ping thumbnail artists. Team Gimkit said before not to ping thumbnail artists.
-
Using AI to write guides or topics isn’t allowed. If you generate ideas for a Help topic, make sure to credit it and it’s fair if the original poster doesn’t want to use any of the artificially created content.
-
Please wait at least 2+ weeks before posting generic bumps. Posting stuff that contributes to the guide will not count towards this rule. (If a help/art/device help topic was resolved, do not bump them either)
