This is an unofficial easier-to-read and short version of the forum rules for those who find the official version difficult to understand. The official guidelines can be found here. The official version contains a lot of clarifications and explanations, so please look there before questioning anything, and please let me know if I can improve this summary in any way. 1. In general (1.2-1.5 & 5.2) Hopefully, these rules will help us all respect each other. If you don't obey the rules, you might get punished for it. If you try to get around a punishment, you will get permanently banned. 2. Messages and other text/links (2.1-2.2) No software piracy, politics, religion, adult stuff, racism or sexism. Don't be rude to anyone, and keep private messages private. No swearing or trying to get around the language filter. Don't accuse someone of anything unless you can prove it. Don't use links that earn someone money, like ad.fly, and no roleplay (here's the reason for that rule). (2.3-2.4) Make your posts meaningful: no “bump” or “like” messages or just sending reaction images. Don't deliberately annoy anyone or take the thread off topic, and never ask when the next version of KSP is going to be released (also applies to mods if someone has already asked). New threads should be started in the correct part of the forum, and all posts should be in plain English (unless it's in the “International” section). 2.5 Old threads You are allowed to post something meaningful in old threads, but remember that a lot of people don't like it. If someone else posts in an old thread, don't complain. 3 Moderators etc. (3.1-3.5) If you see anything wrong, press the “Report post” button at the top of the post instead of talking about it in the thread. Never pretend to be a moderator or to work for Squad, contact them outside the community in their private time or openly talk about their decisions to ban or punish etc. 4 Your account and personal information (4.1-4.4) Keep your account and personal information safe. You are only allowed to have one account and you must not share it with anyone. If you're younger than 18, don't post pictures of your face and don't tell anyone how old you are.
