Forum Code Of Conduct :metal:

Please keep these polices in mind when posting or commenting on the Forum.

:heavy_plus_sign: Respectful Communication

Keep the discussions on-topic. Whilst it’s easy to get distracted and drift off-topic we ask that you take a second glance at your post / comment / reply and ensure it’s related to the original discussion.

:heavy_plus_sign: No Campaigns
Whilst project campaigns can be fun, we urge users to not use the forums as part of a campaign. This unfortunately causes spam and clutters the forum, shadowing the real organic discussions that occur. Any posts relating to a campaign or is caught promoting it, will be deleted.
