Community is still maturing but it's faster than we expected. At our heart however, Reviactyl continues to exist for one purpose: to be the platform for running your game servers. In order to keep our goals true, we've adopted a simple set of guidelines for participating in this community. The goal of these guidelines is to foster an inclusive, welcoming environment for new users, and provide a space for existing users, administrators, network owners, and hosting companies to co-exist. These rules and guidelines extend to all facets of the Reviactyl Community, including but not limited to our Discord Server and all activities within the GitHub Organization. ## Community guidelines At the most basic level, these guidelines can be distilled down to: 1. Be a decent human. 2. Patience is a virtue. ### Be Mature You are expected to be mature and control your behavior in a manner that adheres to basic human decency. If you are unable to do this you will be removed from the community. Personal attacks, spam (in any form), "doxxing", or otherwise acting out is not allowed. This community is fairly lax in regards to moderating language. However, the following are some examples of behavior that is absolutely not tolerated and for which you will be removed from the community. * Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise deregatory speech, images, insinuations, or any language whose sole purpose is to denigrate any individual, organization, or class of individual. * Threats of violence against any person, group, or organization including "doxxing" of these entities. * Pornographic or excessively violent content. ### Limit the Drama Discussion, including linking to or discussing sites or software, that exists to cast a negative image of other companies or users is not allowed. This includes calling out hosts using nulled software, attempting to elicit negative reactions towards services or websites, or otherwise stirring up drama. {% hint style="info" %} Assume someone is acting in good faith when responding to them. You don't have to agree with everyone, and you don't need to respond to everything. {% endhint %} ### Be Patient This is an open-source project. No members of the development team are paid in an official capacity to write, maintain, nor support this software. The following actions are discouraged in this community. * Repeatedly asking identical questions within the same channel (or across channels) within short periods of time. * It is expected that some questions will be missed. If it has been a reasonable amount of time and your question remains unanswered, you're welcome to re-post it. * Keep all support questions within the realm of the support channels. * Do not interrupt conversations in non-support channels solely to request that someone look in a support channel and help you. ### No Commercial Services Discussion of paid installation/upgrade services, modifications, or any other commercial offerings is strictly prohibited unless otherwise noted. This also includes reaching out to individuals via Direct Message and offering your services without provocation. {% hint style="warning" %} Advertising commercial services within your username or display name on Discord is forbidden. {% endhint %} [Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/reviactyl) at the tier II and higher are exempt from this rule. ### No Mention or Ping Spam Please, do not direct message any administrative, development, or notable community members without first checking with them. Keep all support queries within the public support channels unless you have been directly asked to move it elsewhere. "*But what if I am trying to respond back to someone?*" That is fine! We only ask that you not mention people directly if they're not already involved in a discussion with you. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.reviactyl.app/project/community-standards.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
