# Forum Guidelines

The Creators’ Forum at `forum.overdare.com` is a space where verified creators can collaborate, share feedback, and troubleshoot together. These rules supplement the **OVERDARE Community Guidelines** and the **Creator Terms of Service**. All platform‑wide content restrictions continue to apply in the Forum.

***

### Purpose and Scope

* Foster constructive, creator‑centric discussion about worlds, assets, payouts, and technical workflows in OVERDARE.
* Apply to everything you post or attach in the Forum—threads, replies, reactions, profile images, and links.

### Eligibility

* Only creators who have agreed to the Creator Terms may sign in.
* Each person may hold only one Forum account. Impersonation or alternate (“sock‑puppet”) accounts are prohibited.

### Respectful Conduct

* **No harassment or personal attacks.** Disagree with ideas, never with people.
* **No hate, bigotry, or discriminatory language** on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender, orientation, disability, or any protected class.
* **No NSFW or shocking content.** Keep discussion safe for work and minors.
* Follow thread topics; moderators may move or close off‑topic posts.

### Spam and Self‑Promotion

* Do not repost the same content, bump threads, or flood with emoji reactions.
* Advertising outside services, NFT drops, referral codes, or paid surveys is forbidden.

### Confidentiality & Privacy

* Treat the Forum as a public venue: search engines may index posts.
* Never share personal data, private business information, or unreleased OVERDARE materials.
* Internal roadmaps and staff‑only discussions belong in gated channels, not public boards.

### Intellectual Property

* You own the assets you post, but by uploading you grant OVERDARE the licence described in the Creator Terms.
* Do not share third‑party assets unless you hold the rights or the asset is openly licensed.

### Moderation and Enforcement

Violations escalate through these tiers; moderators may skip steps for severe issues.

* **Notice** – public or private reminder; post may be edited or merged.
* **Warning**
  * First warning; suspension of 1 day
  * Second warning; suspension of 5 days
  * Third warning; permanent ban
* **Permanent Ban** – account removal for child‑safety issues, doxxing, severe IP theft, or continued abuse after prior suspensions.

### Reporting Content

Use the flag button beneath any post. False or abusive reports may themselves lead to penalties.

### Appeals

If you believe a moderation action was in error, email `ovdr_support@overdare.com` within seven (7) days and include relevant links and context. Generic “unban me” requests will be dismissed.

### Updates to These Guidelines

These rules may evolve as the community grows. Changes take effect upon posting; we’ll announce material updates in the Notice category within the Forum. The final interpretation of these Guidelines rests with OVERDARE.
