The Amplitude community is meant to be a welcoming and inclusive place for our players to meet and interact with us and each other. To ensure it stays that way, we expect our players to stick to the following principles. 

  • Be respectful: Treat other users with courtesy, whether you agree with them or not. 
  • Be kind: Put your best foot forward and be helpful where you can. 
  • Be mindful: Remember that disagreements can stem from misunderstandings. Don’t immediately assume malice. 

 

These principles are backed by a set of rules that we will use to moderate our community spaces. Breaking any of these rules will result in disciplinary action that may range from warnings to temporary or permanent bans. Attempts to circumvent these rules through clever phrasing, dog whistles, or other means will be treated as the equivalent rule violation. 

 

  1. No obscene or vulgar language:
    The Amplitude forums are meant to be a pleasant place, so please keep your tone appropriate. 
  2. No personal attacks, defamatory language, or harassment:
    Keep discussions civil. Even if you strongly disagree about a topic or idea, do not resort to insults, attacks, or otherwise targeting another user or group of users. 
  3. No trolling or baiting:
    Trolling and baiting are broad terms, but both are intended to provoke and cause disruption. Posts intended to start trouble are not acceptable. 
  4. No spamming:
    Spamming is generally promoting external sites unrelated to Amplitude Studios or our games, but it can also mean excessive bumping or reposting of threads. 
  5. No adult content:
    Anything considered NSFW is not allowed, even if it could be considered borderline. If in doubt, do not post. 
  6. No Real-Life personal information:
    Respect the privacy of other forum users. Do not share personal or identifiable information about any user, including yourself. 
  7. No discrimination or hate speech:
    There will be 0 tolerance towards discrimination of any type: politics, religion, race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical appearance, age, disability, etc.   
  8. No illegal content:
    Posting links to illegal downloads or website, promoting drugs, encouraging criminal acts, and any other nefarious activity is strictly forbidden. 
  9. No impersonating staff, mods, or other users:
    Passing yourself off as someone you are not will not be taken lightly. 
  10. Circumventing bans or disciplinary actions:
    People that are banned are no longer welcome and all attempts to bypass a ban will not be tolerated. Also, the Amplitude forums are not the place to contest disciplinary actions: If you want to appeal an action, reach out to the moderation team directly. 

 

Breaking these rules will usually result in a warning, but repeated or severe rules breaches may lead to temporary or permanent bans. If you have been banned and believe this was not justified, you can reach the Amplitude community team at community@Amplitude-studios.com to make an appeal.
