Forum Rules

Welcome to our community! These rules help keep the forum friendly, respectful, and engaging for everyone.

---

1. Be Respectful

• No harassment, hate speech, personal attacks, or discriminatory remarks.
  
• Respect all users regardless of their skill level, opinions, or background.

2. No Trolling or Flamebaiting

• Do not post content intended to provoke, irritate, or offend others.
  
• Repeated trolling will result in warnings and possible bans.

3. Stay On Topic

• Use the correct section for your post.
  
• FFXIV-related content goes in FFXIV sections; other games and off-topic discussions belong in their designated areas.

4. No Spam or Self-Promotion

• No repeated messages, low-effort posts, or advertisements.
  
• Promotion of your own content (e.g., streams, Discords, etc.) is only allowed with staff approval or in designated areas.

5. Post Constructively

• Avoid one-word posts unless appropriate.
  
• Try to contribute meaningfully to discussions.

6. Use Spoiler Tags

• When discussing major plot points (especially in FFXIV or story-heavy games), use spoiler tags in the title to respect others.

7. NSFW or Offensive Content

• NSFW content is allowed, but only in designated NSFW sections of the forum.
  
• All NSFW threads must be clearly marked with appropriate tags within the title—except in sections where it’s already stated in the category description and are password-protected.
  
• Do not post NSFW content outside of those sections. Doing so will result in a warning or removal of the content.

8. Respect Staff Decisions

• If a moderator or admin steps in, don’t argue publicly.
  
• You can appeal or ask questions privately via DM.

Warnings & Bans

• 1st Offense: Warning
  
• 2nd Offense: Temporary mute or post restriction
  
• 3rd Offense: Temporary ban (length depends on severity)
  
• Repeated or severe violations: Permanent ban
