Official Rules
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.
-
The following types of posts are considered spam, and are not allowed. They will be subject to moderation:
a. Compliments with no content. Use the
button instead.
b. Welcome posts. Only do these if you are going to add content to the post.
c. Dropdown chains, bubble wrap bumps, and hidden chats. -
Thumbnail and idea polls are not allowed as they encourage chatting.
-
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. This rule is in place because team Gimkit said before not to ping thumbnail artists.
-
Using AI to write replies, guides, and topics for you is strictly prohibited. This includes help replies. Scan AI using zerogpt or any other AI generator if you suspect it is AI generated, then flag it.
-
Please wait at least 2+ weeks before posting generic bumps. Do not bump Help or Art help topics.
-
Do not ask TL4s to make your bumps reusable.
-
Please do not speak languages other than English on the forum. Reasoning: [1]
-
Do not abuse the dropdown feature to write off-topic posts, as those will be subject to moderation.
-
Bios can contain off topic content, but cannot break any other rules or be used to write inappropriate messages.
Because only a minority of people here do not speak English, it’s on them to use a translator. It’s not fair, but we also don’t have the capability to learn every language someone wants to speak so it can be moderated. Once someone is informed of this rule, that’s their issue. Continuing to speak their language will result in punishment. ↩︎
