Forum rules
#1
I. General principles

1. Use a language appropriate to the forum you are writing in. This is English except in the International Board. Ensure acceptable grammar and spelling.

2. When creating a new thread, use a descriptive title and ensure you are using the most appropriate forum. These forums are meant for discussions related to SuperTuxKart, avoid unrelated topics.

3. Make sure your posts are on-topic for the thread you are writing in. Reading previous messages in the thread is also important to make your post more relevant to the discussion.

4. Avoid low-effort posts: make sure your post contribute something of worth to the conversation.

5. Avoid multi-posting. If you just made a post and forgot to add something, edit your message instead of posting two messages in a row.

6. Avoid deleting messages and threads. The option is there if you realize you messed up, such as accidentally replying in the wrong thread, revealing personal information, or violating other forum rules. But if your message was perfectly fine and others replied to it, this can make threads hard to follow or remove potentially useful information from other users that might find the thread later. Moderation reserves the right to restore the message in this case.

7. Private messages and direct mentions are offered for your convenience. Feel free to use them, but do not abuse them.

II. Restricted content

8. Do not use vulgar language, and remain respectful to others even when you disagree with them. These forums are meant to be a friendly place for all SuperTuxKart fans.

9. Remember that kids may also read these forums. Mention of themes with significant adult connotations should be avoided even if the mention itself doesn't cross the line.

10. Do not abuse the formatting tools at your disposal. They are here to help you to make your messages clearer and prettier, not to confuse other users.

11. Do not bring up controversial topics unrelated to the game, such as politics, faith, etc. This rule applies even if you believe that the controversy is unwarranted and one position is clearly right.

12. Do not post private information about others ('doxxing').

13. Do not post or promote illegal content (such as mods using copyright-protected content without authorization).

14. Do not give tasks or solicit work from STK contributors as if you were part of the team if you aren't. You remain free to make suggestions for the game.

III. Rules enforcement

15. The provided list of disruptive behaviors is not exhaustive. Be smart and don't try to game the rules.

16. Non-respect of these rules will lead to warnings, and potentially bans. Moderation will decide on the appropriate punishment by evaluating specific circumstances and past behavior.
