Here you will find the group chat rules for Furry Gamedev (v1.8c).

But first, some clarifications:

  1. FGD is a place to talk about gamedev, which is being used as an umbrella term for all aspects: coding, art, writing, community, music and so on.

  2. If you violate chat rules you will be warned. The warning will flagged with a #warning. After repeated warnings, further mod action will be taken, such as temporary bans for minor infractions up to permanent ban.

Now on to the rules:

  1. This is a SFW group at all hours. Do not post NSFW content such as stickers, links, images, and GIFs.

  2. Professionals and amateurs are welcome! You do not need to have an active gamedev-related job to join FGD.

  3. Constructive criticism is a vital key to getting along with fellow game developers/enthusiasts. Non-constructive or hateful comments are not welcome.

  4. This is a gamedev focused channel, not a general gaming channel. Stay on topic. This also includes: No politics, ideo-sociological, religion, and so on.

  5. Promotion: If you have a game (or game-related service), it’s fine to promote it here. Just be courteous and reasonable! The same applies for people who are attempting to network for jobs/contract work in the game industry. If you are hosting events at cons or gatherings, go ahead and share!

  6. If you want to promote anything not covered by rule #5, check with a mod first.

  7. Note: This will result in immediate warnings and ban: Bigotry, racism, hate, being crass, overly disruptive, and being non-constructive with criticism.

Have fun and keep making games!

If you see any of the above rules being broken, please forward appropriately to one of the moderators.
