CurseForge Website Rules

CurseForge serves to provide a safe and discussion-conducive environment for modders, gamers, and developers of all backgrounds to share their experiences, receive support, and establish connections through news, mods, and development discussion. 


A constructive, respectful and welcoming approach to discussion is required from all members at all times in any discussion hosted on CurseForge. 


These rules apply to all communication areas on the website, including comments, issues trackers, and private messages. 


These rules are easy-to-follow guidelines, they are not an exhaustive list and moderators will sometimes make decisions independent of the rules for the safety and best interest of the community as a whole. 


Please reach out to Support if you have questions, concerns or comments about these rules and guidelines.

Rules


  • Be Courteous and Respectful
    Every member deserves to be treated with respect. Positive and polite posts create a friendly and welcoming environment that all members will feel comfortable in. Please be patient with those who may not natively speak your language.
  • Think Before Posting
    Sensible, well thought-out and legible posts help other members understand what is being explained.
  • Report Content
    Please do not make posts to inform other users of website rules, use the report button to inform moderators when a post breaks the website rules or moderator attention is needed.
  • Don't use Profanity or Post Inappropriate Content
    We require that all content posted on the website is suitable for people of all ages, this includes but is not limited to words, videos and pictures. Any messege containing inappropriate content or profanity will be removed.
  • Don't Flame or Provoke
    Do not insult or flame other members on the website. Similarly, do not post with the intention of provoking a reaction from fellow members. Instigation is not tolerated.
  • Don't Spam
    A spam message is a message that provides no value to the discussion or a thread that is a nuisance for others who are engaging in discussion. The most common spam posts are posting "tl:dr;", "+1", "this", posting image macros, and nothing but memes or images. Requesting an update for a different game version more than once is considered spam!

    Do not behave in a manner that can cause distress, harm or inconvenience to other members, staff or the website itself. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination, bullying, offensive material, using multiple accounts, breaching others privacy and accessing others’ accounts without permission.



Warnings & Bans

When a member of the website breaks the rules listed above or theOverwolf Terms of Use , a moderator will issue a warning. Warnings will be between 1 and 7 points, depending on the severity of the violation. Strikes are a separate level of severity based on incurred points. A user with a total of seven points of warning will be banned from our site.


While this is a general set of rules for moderation on the CurseForge website, we reserve the right to take any appropriate moderation or safety steps outside of this framework.


Points expire 30 days after they have been issued.
