Community Guidelines (work in progress)

Welcome! MTGZone is a collection of Magic: the Gathering communities within the Lemmy social news network.

We have some basic rules community guidelines for membership and contributions here, and we hope you help make this community grow into a friendly, useful resource for fellow players and collectors!

  1. Registrations are currently open!

    Email verification is required.

    Due to spam/bot issues with Lemmy we also currently require that you answer one question and that an admin review all signups. We try to get to them asap and perhaps soon we’ll remove this limitation and just enable captcha.


  2. Downvotes are enabled.

    Please reserve downvoting for content that doesn’t contribute to the communities or discussions here, or for content you think doesn’t belong.


  3. Communities are currently fixed and not open for anyone to create.

    We may open them up in the future but as we try to grow the user base we want to try to curate content a bit and keep the site focused for now.


  4. Please follow the golden rule in all interactions here!

    Be kind to others and give them the benefit of the doubt.


  5. Specific content rules:

    • Keep it related to MTG! All content must be related to the greatest game ever made, Magic: the Gathering.
    • No advertising. Promoting your content is totally fine and encouraged, but direct commercial advertisements are not allowed.
    • No abusive language. Swearing in general is not prohibited, but no direct insults toward other members.
    • No politics. Please do not discuss general political news, issues, or the political views of others. The only exception is for things that very specifically relate to Magic: the Gathering the game or Wizards of the Coast’s curation of the game itself. Discussion on WOTC shareholder disputes are fine as it affects the game, an artist’s personal political views are not as it has no impact on the game. Please use your best judgment; we’ll always explain decisions but will probably be fairly restrictive.
    • No pornography. No nudity or pornographic alters, real or fictional.
    • No bigotry. Everyone is welcome here. Please do not post content that outwardly or obviously targets others’ race, religion, etc. Keep it kind, folks!

  6. Have fun!

    We’re not Reddit and we specifically created this place as a greater alternative with the players and community as our sole interest.
