The short version
- Be kind. Disagreement is fine; cruelty is not.
- Stay on topic per category. Off-topic stuff belongs in General.
- No spam, no self-promo dumps, no link farms.
- No NSFW or harassing imagery. Ever.
- Respect other people's builds and creators.
What we will remove (and may suspend you for)
- Harassment, threats, doxxing, or stalking of any user.
- Hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.
- Sexually explicit content. ChunkSquad is open to teens and we keep posts SFW.
- Posting other people's personal information without consent.
- Spam, link farms, paid promotions disguised as content.
- Cheats, hacks, exploit code, or content that facilitates harm to game servers or communities.
- Content that infringes copyright (uploading someone else's build screenshots without credit, for example).
- Coordinated brigading or organized harassment of other communities.
- Impersonation of staff, mods, or other users.
On AI-generated content
AI-generated content is allowed when used to help your build planning (e.g. concept art for a structure you're actually building). We discourage flooding the forum with AI-generated images as posts of their own, and we'll remove AI content used to deceive (e.g. passing off generated screenshots as in-game footage).
On self-promotion
Sharing your build, your server, your YouTube channel, your Discord — this is a build community, so a reasonable amount is welcome. What we'll remove: link-only posts, drive-by promo with no discussion, repeat posting of the same link.
A good rule of thumb: contribute first, promote second. If you only post to advertise, mods will remove the posts.
How moderation works
Anyone can report a thread or reply using the Report link beneath the post. Reports land in our moderation queue. Mods review and may:
- Remove the offending content.
- Lock the thread to new replies.
- Warn or suspend the posting account.
- Refer serious cases to the platform owner.
We err on the side of warnings for first-time issues. We won't warn for unambiguous violations (e.g. harassment, NSFW posts).
Appeals
If your content was removed or your account was actioned and you think it was a mistake, email moderation@chunksquad.com with the URL or content in question. We aim to respond within 3 business days.
Reporting safety issues
If someone is in immediate danger or you believe a user is at risk of self-harm, contact local emergency services. Then email safety@chunksquad.com so we can take action on the account if appropriate.
Changes
We'll update these guidelines as the community grows. Material changes get a forum announcement.
