Community Guidelines – Engagement Standards
Welcome to Jo Game Player, a place that aims to keep you updated on the latest Gaming News, provide Game Reviews and Ratings, and lay out Player Strategies and Tips. Founded by Zyvaris Xendell in Forest Grove, Oregon, this community intends to be a forum for serious gamers and enthusiasts—if, that is, everyone can manage to keep the bickering to a minimum.
It’s sad but true: passionate discussions about Esports Events and Coverage and Upcoming Game Releases often devolve into noise. These guidelines are less about rules and more a desperate plea to keep the conversation civilized and useful for all.
Our Purpose
Jo Game Player’s purpose is straightforward: create a professional, respectful space where gamers can genuinely share and debate insights—including those found in the Gaming Knowledge Vault and during our Gaming Community Roadshows. We want quality contributions, not meaningless back-and-forths.
Core Values
- Respect: If you can’t be respectful, don’t bother.
- Honesty: Stop posting guesses masquerading as facts.
- Accountability: Take responsibility for your words; anonymity doesn’t excuse toxicity.
- Inclusivity: Aim to welcome genuine discourse, not echo chambers.
- Constructiveness: Critique like a professional. Personal attacks are not constructive.
How to Participate
- Keep your comments relevant to the topic—for example, discussing Player Strategies and not off-topic drama.
- Communicate clearly and avoid vague or inflammatory remarks.
- Cite sources properly, especially if you’re borrowing from our Writers Join contributors.
- Respect differing opinions—even if you disagree strongly.
