Use them wisely, they're there to allow us to express ourselves when an additional post isn't necessary.

Links to competing forums are only tolerated if the content of the link is related to the latest posts, for example: a response to a request for help if M2Dev does not have the information, during a public debate... Keep in mind that this is tolerated, if you abuse it for no good reason you can be penalized. Take advantage of missing content to improve M2Dev by creating a new tutorial.

Behavior

Don't flame at other users. You maybe want help and everybody started with no or little knowledge. We don't want to see any racism, sexism or homophobia...

Don't generate a negative atmosphere intentionally, if someone said something you dislike debate them without engaging in combative behaviour (If its offensive report it instead), and be kind and susceptible to amend the situation with kindness.

Attack ideas, not people, arguments must be directed at other arguments, not at people. This includes both the people that you're arguing with and third parties such as ethnic groups, sexual minorities, and other groups.

Don't push boundaries or be edgy simply for its own sake. Only say things that you actually want to say, not simply things that you expect to get reaction out of people.

Extremist / negative nationalism, Religion attacks, Homophobia, Racism, Xenophobia, Misandry / Misogyny are heavily forbidden, also making hints that support these views by things like wordplay are also contextually sanctionable.

Don't give the impression of trying to trivialize horrific events such as death or assault. Show basic respect for the value of human life and dignity.

Profanity isn't disallowed but requires allowed context, for example emphasizing a phrase that isn't meant to be negatively offensive in nature, nevertheless use it with moderation.

Introduction

M2Dev is a platform where you share your knowledge about Metin2, games improvements and systems development.

You can sell things on M2Dev if you follow these terms. The following rules must be strictly respected in order for a member to publish his paid service. Failure to comply with the sales and service rules will result in your product page being disapproved (Explanations and / or evidences will be provided to you).

Know that a member who has just registered can't immediately create a product page. You must be an Active Member or Active+ Member or have a special rank. A prolonged inactivity of a member, will see his product page archived and / or deleted without notice. Also, no restoration will be considered if the product page has been deleted.

Responsibility

Don't forget, M2Dev can't be considered responsible for any of your transactions. We provide filtering to avoid any scammers or resellers and to feature only trustable sellers on the forum, but we don't provide any guarantees concerning your transactions with members on or outside the forum.

Legal relationships are established exclusively between the parties involved in the trade. This means that the seller has successfully passed our filters which place certain requirements on the accuracy of the information they provide.

The seller may use a trusted third party for support and installation assistance. However, the trusted third party and the seller will be held responsible in the event of a problem.

Sell

The seller must create his product page in the marketplace platform, it will be subject to approval by moderation. If we believe you're a risk to our community, we will deny your authorization to sell or offer your services (Without response from you within 72 hours after our last response, the product page will be deleted...). It must be created by the seller himself, no trusted third party is accepted. This also applies for the transaction between seller and customer. Regardless of the reasons given, the seller must be the sole contact for the customer.

Before approving the seller's product page, we will do some checks:

• Is the seller known in other Metin2 communities?
• Is the seller known or has been known to scam or resell in other Metin2 communities?
• Is the seller's reputation good?
• Does the seller have recommendations from these customers?
• Is the seller active in our community?
• Does the seller have public works? (On our community or others, this may be essential depending on the services you want to offer...)

In order to gain the trust of the community, our trust and thus be able to offer your services within our marketplace, you must have public works similar to what you wish to sell (On our community or others, this is strongly recommended...). Our goal isn't to exclude or prevent members from selling or offering your services, but it considerably increases the seller's chances of being authorized on our marketplace by allowing us to verify his reliability. We don't want any resellers or scammers in our marketplace. M2Dev remains a guarantee of quality for the members of our community. Also, a well-known and fully trusted member can also recommend you.

Miscellaneous

Only one product page is allowed per seller in the Marketplace platform. If you need to separate your products, justify your request and contact us. However, keep in mind that having only one product page is highly recommended.

Reverse engineering isn't considered a scam, can be freely published or sold only from official binaries.

Bump

The seller isn't authorized to bump his product page except for announcements or updates. The seller must indicate what has been updated (Update of a product, addition of a new product, product name and price, discount...), everything must be specified. In case of abuse, we can lock new comments and new reviews on your product page.

Discord

The Discord isn't an advertising area, it's not allowed to advertise your services, except for a member mentioning the seller to obtain information about these products or a recommendation from another member.

Copyright Policy
