Be Friendly - Making your point through harassment or personally attacking another poster just makes you look bad. Telling new or less skilled players to leave the forums or games because of their opinion is also not tolerated. You don't score points here by trashing someone else. You could potentially lose your entire account because of it. Keep it Clean - This forum supports games rated "T for Teen". If you don't see / hear it in a PG-13 or less movie, it doesn't belong on this forum. (This includes links to pictures, embedded videos, programs, etc.) Stay On-Topic & Constructive - Please focus on the topic of the thread. If you do not have anything productive to add, then move on to a different thread. Refrain from Intentional Misdirection - We understand "trolling" has become an internet art form and can be fun, but intentionally giving other players bad information about the games or technical concerns is not tolerated. Say Hello to My Little Friend, SEARCH - It's best to see if there is an existing topic that is talking about whatever you are thinking. If you create a topic that is the same as one that is already posted, it may be merged with that topic or deleted. Use the forum search function. Let the Dead Stay Dead - Do your part to prevent the zombie apocalypse. Don't post in threads that are long-dead (over a month since last post). They died for a reason. Massive Pics are Massive - Because large embedded images make forum threads very difficult to navigate, images within posts are forced to a width of no more than 600 pixels and a height of no more than 400 pixels. To view the full sized image, just right-click and "Open Image in New Tab" or "Open Image in New Window". Also, total signature space should not exceed 600 pixels wide by 250 pixels long. Signatures that are larger than these dimensions are subject to edit / deletion. Signature privileges can also be revoked entirely for repeated / egregious offenses. Rage Quitting is Sooo Last Century - If you are disappointed with the direction of a game, feel free to give constructive feedback to explain how you feel it could be better. Making a quitting / leaving thread is not constructive. It will be deleted outright, and you will most likely be permanently banned from the forums. Moderation Happens - Your thread isn't always going to survive a possible fallout. Publicly protesting any locked or deleted content is going to lead to the same result all over again. If you have a question about why a thread was locked / removed, send a PM to a Hi-Rez team member you see posting regularly. (Check Here) No Name, No Shame - If you think someone in-game is breaking any of the policies or best practices discussed here, use the in-game /REPORT function for the first time you see it. If you feel someone is slipping through the cracks, send one (1) email to hirezsupport@hirezstudios.com with clear details. For instances of bad forum behavior, use the report button at the bottom of the offending post. Also, if you report a post, don't quote the person over and over. That will lead to thread deletion. Account Actions are a Private Matter - If some sort of action has been taken against your account, the only acceptable communication for this is via our support system. Send one (1) email to hirezsupport@hirezstudios.com to get information or resolution. Any forum threads regarding actions against an account will be deleted outright. Exploits Are Bad M'kay? - Do not post exploits publicly on the forums. Send a Private Message to a bug forum moderator or email the details to hirezsupport@hirezstudios.com. Anarchy is Overrated - Hi-Rez Employees reserve the right to moderate these forums as they deem appropriate. This means a post / thread / account can be changed / edited / deleted at any time for any reason outlined in the documents linked above and the guidelines discussed here. Thank you for keeping the community an enjoyable place, and thanks for gaming with Hi-Rez Studios!
