SMBX.org Topic and Posting Rules [Updated Aug. 7th 2015]

staff edit: disregard this

Spoiler: show

The following rules are to change the scope of topics in this forum. This is a response to much of the debating, and arguments that have taken place in this particular forum and is meant to promote discussion with higher intuition and meaning. By no means is there intent to censor, ignore, and discredit any opinions you may hold as the following rules and guidelines have been agreed upon by the SMBX staff and carefully considered to have the most positive impact on the forum as possible.

The new rules are as follows:

• Refrain from creating topics dedicated to personal concerns about particular users, groups, specific staff members or the staff in general, and the community.
• Refrain from creating topics discussing staff actions, and moderation.
• Avoid posting in threads about the behavior of fellow members and how they act.
• Do not contribute to chain responses against particular users, and report them when necessary while trying to avoid conflict.
• Make topics follow the forum description of "what would you like to see," rather than "what is bad and needs to be changed."
• Do not ask for features to be implemented in SMBX here, development stopped years ago.
• Direct questions about the editor/game to the Help & Support forum. Questions should be related to this website, not anything else.

These rules are here to dry up most of the unneeded argumentation and allow for better communication on how to make the community a better place for everyone. The community is only as good as its users, and the staff believes this set of rules will bring out the best of users and stop the worst before it happens. If you have any questions or concerns, PM me and I will try and respond whenever I see your message. Also note that this change is final in that the scope of allowed topics is being changed, but if you have concerns about the language of these rules and consequences of them, I and the staff are all ears.
