Website Rules & Standard of Conduct https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/website-rules-standard-of-conduct 1. BE GOOD Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Every account is another human being who is excited about Star Citizen. Disagree calmly and intelligently, do not attack each other when you don't share the same ideas. Show them the same respect you wish to be shown yourself. (a) Personal attacks on other forum members or employees are unacceptable and are grounds for an immediate strike. Terms such as "carebear", sociopath, and other derogatory terms should never be used on these forums. We strive to be a welcoming community accepting those from all walks of life and respect each other as such. (b) In-game abuses should be resolved privately between citizens via Private Message. Moderators are NOT Game Masters and have no authority to act upon in-game occurrences. 'Vigilante justice', including but not limited to ‘naming and shaming’, via the forums or chat is not condoned or acceptable, and will be acted upon as reported by Moderators. (c) Do not post another member's personal information such as their email address, other website profiles, or other sensitive material without their permission. "Doxing" will not be tolerated. 3. NO TROLLING Do not post messages specifically intended to antagonize, incite, or "get a rise" out of others. We understand the impulse to do it at times, but it doesn't contribute to the community, it tears it down. Your responsibility as early backers is to help form a great community, not to endlessly frustrate those who come later. Included, but not limited to: (a) Do not create avatars and signatures intended to bait, defame, ridicule, insult or otherwise mess with other users. (b) Parody, at the expense of other users, is forbidden. Do not copy other users' profiles or organizations. (c) “Hit lists” of users you intend to attack in the finished game are absolutely forbidden (and generally a ridiculous concept.) The sort of “forum PVP” that exists elsewhere will not be tolerated here. Spectrum exists to gather feedback, promote discussion and build the community; general forum bullying directly countermands these goals. (d) While we encourage discussions on a variety of game-related topics, starting threads on controversial issues solely to generate an argument is forbidden. (“HEY EVERYBODY PVP RULES AND PVE DROOLS!”) (e) Posting to another guild’s recruiting thread in order to harass them is forbidden. Guild recruiting threads are for guild members and those interested in joining, not for fights between guilds. (f) Users may NOT impersonate a moderator or an employee of CIG, including by having similar avatars or forum handle. (g) Should a moderator edit your post, you may not remove those edits or notes.
