Welcome to the Minecraft Workbench forums. We would like to thank all of you for participating and in helping to create a friendly and interactive community. In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the moderators or administrators.

By posting on these forums you attest that you have read and agreed to the Minecraft Workbench Terms of Use found here.

General Rules

 - While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, profanity (or attempts to bypass profanity filters), insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.

 
- Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) nonsense posts, or anything that does not contribute to the discussion. Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed. "Forum Games" are also strictly prohibited. While we add some leeway with off-topic sections, this is ultimately a Minecraft fan site - if you want to play games, play Minecraft!

 
- Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum and private message systems to spam other members.

 
- Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. 24 hours is a good general guideline. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate our community standards. The Minecraft Workbench team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.

 
- Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.

 
- Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.

 
- We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.

 
- If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post. We want to encourage a community that everyone can participate in and while we do not wish to segregate, this does mean using one language as a standard.

 
- Posts arguing about our policies are not allowed. If you have an issue with our policies, please PM one of the moderators or administrators.

 
- Posts discussing moderator actions are also not allowed.

Advertising Services and Solicitation

- We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products, services, funds or donations, if they are not directly related to Minecraft. 

 
- Explicit advertising and soliciting in signatures is similarly prohibited if not related to Minecraft.

 
- You should never give out your forum password to anyone. We can not take responsibility if you disclose this information to anyone else.

Links in signatures must follow these guidelines.

- Linking to a commercial product/service is fine, provided it is associated with Minecraft.

 
- Promotional text for a commercial product or service is ok, provided there are no price(s) of product(s) or service(s) listed.

 
- A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate Minecraft Workbench community standards.  The Minecraft Workbench team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.)

 
- Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed.

 
- All signatures must be made in English.

Avatars and Signatures

 
Avatars and signatures are allowed, provided that they do not depict scenes of a sexual or offensive nature and do not violate Minecraft Workbench community standards. The Minecraft Workbench team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
