Kongregate Wiki:Unofficial Code of Conduct

As a long-time user of Kongregate (with previous accounts), [SteveySA] made an unofficial code of conduct that can be peer-reviewed and edited. The rules under the articles are unorganized.

Article 1: Behavior
I. Please do not act like a jerk. Think about the possible reactions and consequences of your actions. It takes less than five seconds, literally.

II. '''Don't feed trolls. Ever.''' The reason they are trolls is because they feed on attention and outcry. Make an appropriate remark or two, mute them and/or contact a moderator if one isn't present.

III. Don't mini-mod. Mini-modding or asking to be a moderator will diminish the respect others give you and your chances of getting an to the right of your name. This also goes for comments in games and [Collabs] submissions and posts in forums. If you do that, you will diminish the chances of getting a either.

IV. Don't e-peen. If you realize that you are now level or higher, good. Go on your parading. But don't tell us every time you level up once on Kongregate. It will make the level s cry.

V. You refer, you lose. Referral links are cool and all, but don't post them in public. If you want a select group to have the referral link, private message them. Further, keep the links PG-13.

Article 2: Content
I. Keep all of your content PG-13 or below. Consider the fact that there are thirteen-year-old users (and probably some users are younger). A link to a porn site, an inappropriate image, etc., are not allowed on this site. Remember this, if it isn't appropriate in the eighth grade, it isn't allowed here.

II. All intellectual property must be yours. This includes games, art (in the Collabs) and sounds (in the Collabs). You can make profit from any and all of them. It wouldn't be nice if a commoner stole Newton's notes. So it isn't nice if you monetize a game from someone else. Yes, even crappy games.

III. Content must be relevant and follow the rules. Optical illusions won't count as games. Quiet audio files (with no sound) don't count as sounds. Blank images don't count as art.
