Wiki Rules

Forum & Wiki Rules

The Reckon wiki and forums are intended to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere for the Reckon community. In order to maintain order and a sense of community, all users should read and follow these conditions. By participating in the forum, users are affirming their willingness to comply with these terms. This memorandum has been created to provide you with information about what you can expect here, what is expected of you, and to answer some questions you may have in your use of the wiki documentation, online shop, blogs or support forums.

Be respectful of others at all times.
The purpose of the forum is to provide support for customers, clients, friends, and potential partners of Reckon aka Reckon Wordwide. However, it is first and foremost a platform for the exchange of ideas. In the interest of learning through sharing and community building, please be courteous with each other, and with me. It is possible to question or disagree without being insulting. Patience and respect are appreciated and go a long way.
Before posting a question.
If you cannot find an answer in the resources, please post in an appropriate forum or contact me therein.
Before posting a question, please make use of the search facility.
Ranting is prohibited.
A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of each member, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents unless they are exceedingly poetic and psychedelic in nature. Exceptions: Rants in E Minor.
Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts which are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit or creative evolution of mankind, and will not be tolerated
Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the members of the forum community. Posts of this nature are disruptive and not at all constructive. We're in this together.
No posting of personal information.
Please respect the privacy of the community membership and do not give out information such as phone numbers and addresses.
Private communication between moderators and administrators of the forum and the forum users is not to be made public on these forums or by any other venue.
You are not permitted to publicize any private correspondence received from any of the aforementioned.
Warnings and bans are not to be discussed on the forum.
Such matters shall remain private between the Reckon staff and the user. Questions or comments concerning warnings and bans will be conveyed through e-mail or private messaging. Likewise, discussions regarding moderator actions are not permitted on the forum. If you have questions regarding a post or thread, please contact service [at] reckon.ws.
Immediate banning from the forum can result from any of the following:
The posting of pornography in the common areas; discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive; aimless or excessive obscene or vulgar language; posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity; providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned.
Using ALL CAPS is not allowed.
Please refrain from the use of ALL CAPS when posting in the forums or sending a direct message or email. Self explanatory.
Do not post about bugs and exploits.
Bugs and other exploits should be reported through the proper channels by sending me a private message in the forum, wiki, or via Twitter (*follow me first or you won't be able to DM, fyi). If you must, you may email service [at] reckon.ws. You can find the straightforward Contact Form here. Issues discovered while playing on the Chaos test game will be duly noted, by the way. Lest we forget discussions about unverified problems in the, ahem, system, can cause unnecessary panic in the community. When there is an issue the community needs to be aware of, we will make an official statement about it and make it widely available for consumption.
Redundant threads will be deleted.
As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
Impersonating another forum user, moderator, volunteer, administrator, lover or Reckon employee is strictly prohibited.
You are expressly forbidden from impersonating anyone else, including those named above, even in jest. This may be grounds for permanent loss of your account and of course your keys to the omniverse.
Spamming is not allowed.
Spamming is prohibited, and anything that resembles it will result in automatic deletion of your account and banning from the forum.
All posts must be about or related to the Reckon Shop or blogs, Reckon Wordwide, this wiki and the Reckon Forum, historic figures featured in homage prints, those who should be featured, and in general the creative evolution of the universe.

Except where otherwise noted or requested, posts about other products or services not permitted (yet).
You may not post advertisements.
Please do, however, feel free to post your blog or website address in the appropriate forum if you are a blogger or other creative force of nature. Tips and links to artists, poets, builders, designers, and other sites worth seeing are encouraged. Muxtapes are also allowed.
Avoid using profanity unless it is in poetic context.
Using partial masking (such as asterisks or punctuation marks) to bypass the profanity filter is prohibited and will result in the same action as if the actual word had been typed.
Post constructively.
Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.
Disputes which cannot be resolved between forum users and moderators may be arbitrated by the forum administrators.
To discuss problems or concerns, please send an e-mail to: service [at] reckon.ws.
