POPULAR[READ ME FIRST!] LOUNGE GUIDE, FAQs & RESOURCES
Welcome to the Rainbow Six: Siege Lounge!
This Lounge is where our community can band together to discuss and share our love for Rainbow Six: Siege.
To establish and retain a fulfilling, rewarding, and ultimately enjoyable experience within our Lounge and the Moot community as a whole, we expect every member to abide by the following guidelines and the Moot Content Policy. They are enforced by the Mod team, and these guidelines will be enforced within our Rainbow Six: Siege Lounge.
Before proceeding, please be sure to read over Moot's Content Policy:
By continuing to use the Rainbow Six: Siege Lounge, you are agreeing that you have read this post in its entirety as well as the Content Policy. The content within this post is subject to change at any time without any prior notice.
EXPECTATIONS OF USE OF LANGUAGE
Due to Rainbow Six: Siege being an M-rated game, the rules regarding the use of language will be a bit lighter in our Lounge. Use of common profanity is expected and will be tolerated. Incessant, degrading, racist, vulgar, or homophobic slurs and other forms of hate-related speech, including the intention to be demeaning towards another user will not be tolerated and will be deleted immediately, following a warning or a ban. See Rule 4 for more.
THE RULES OF THE LOUNGE
1. Self promotion of your unique content goes on the Self Promotions Board.
As a community-based lounge, we hope you do not use it to farm views or clicks for your personal content. If you wish to share your content, you can paste links/attach files and post them in the Self Promotions board. Links will embed - give it a second and you're good to go!
All posts advertising "giveaways" should be posted in Self Promotions.
Try to follow these guidelines when posting to our Self Promotions board:
- Keep it related to Rainbow 6. Your channel itself may not be totally R6, but if you're promoting your content on the board, please be sure that the content you're promoting is related to Rainbow 6!
- Please do not spam your channel, or content. Give everyone a chance to promote their work! Do not heavily repost your work, either - constant reposts won't fly. Everyone deserves a chance to be on page 1!
- Do not flame other users' channels, or discriminate against other peoples' work. If someone asks for a critique, obviously go for it - but don't downtalk someone else's channel in the board. No bueno.
- Be kind to your fellow content-creators! Give them support, just as they hopefully will support you. I know you're all a great bunch!
2. Place your posts on the correct Board.
It's so easy! JUST DO IT!
GENERAL is to be used for general discussion.
LOOKING FOR TEAMMATES is for players who are looking any kind of match up.
*As of Moot update v1.6, you can now submit posts specifically for finding teammates. Please see the following link for more information:
HIGHLIGHTS is for replays, shares of your plays, and the like.
MEMES are for memes. Pretty straightforward. Keep it quality. Easy on the spam.
ART is for art! Try to credit original artists! Do not steal others' art!
TIPS is for gameplay tips, sharing strategies, and so on.
SELF PROMOTIONS is for showing off your content, or channel, etc.
If you're really unsure where to put something, try to use your noggin and just go for it - if worse comes to worst the mods will move it for you.
4. Be friendly, show respect and care to all of our members.
This is a very simple rule to understand, and the lengths of which it will reach is grounded in common sense. Be friendly to all users, including new players, other members of Moot, the moderators, and so on!
There will be absolutely zero tolerance for flaming, witch hunting (name-shaming, doxxing), racism, sexism, bigotry, intolerable language and use of extreme vulgarity.
5. Keep all discussions about Rainbow Six: Siege.
Any content not directly relating to Rainbow Six: Siege will be moved to the Off Topic board.
5,1. Refrain from the posting of “non-content”, including low-effort posts and spam posts.
Try not to spam, you know? It looks bad.
Please be sure to post your memes ON the Meme Board and to be certain you are on the right Board prior to posting. Memes wandering off from that Board will be carried back to the Meme board. Have care for your posts!
6. No sexually explicit content.
Keep it classy in here. No sexually explicit or vulgar content. No highly suggestive themes. Any violations of this rule will be met with a warning, possibly a ban and your post being deleted in a righteous hellfire.
Finally, if you find other users breaking any of the aforementioned rules, report them!
This is more or less up to the discretion of our users, and we implore that you report where you see it. You may report it via Moot's report button, as well as messaging any of the mod team directly!
REGARDING TIME-OUTS, BANS, AND REPEAT-OFFENDERS,
or:
THE UPDATE I WISH I NEVER HAD TO MAKE
After a lengthy and frankly exhausting string of repeat-offences (see gif above), I figured I would outline how the bans will be doled out and how to so easily avoid them.
1. Read the Moot Content Policy, and follow it.
Easy. SO easy. It's very obvious when a user hasn't read it.
2. Multiple repeat-offences, or, failure to follow basic guidelines after warnings.
This is for those of you who are having a hard time coping with step 1. I understand this is a lengthy post, but, it takes only a few minutes to read - and then you can be on your merry way posting top-tier content to share with the rest of us here on Moot. We are a people of taste, such like yourself.
3. Failure to follow the Moot Content Policy (if you read it), then flaming/antagonizing moderators/admins in light of your content removal or bans may result in... A ban.
This takes us back to the glorious incandescence of rule 4. This is a community where people are implored to discuss Rainbow Six: Siege. Have some fun doing it! Go talk to some users, make some connections, make friends, play games! You can bring great content to our Lounge, and be a part of our awesome ever-growing userbase.
4. Moderators do not need your consent to remove your post if it goes against Moot's Content Policy.
You might be upset that the thing you keep reposting that is against the Content Policy gets deleted - it's not our fault if you can't help it! We do not need your permission to do our job. Don't antagonize us for it. We play our part - we kindly ask of you the same.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, FREQUENTLY POSTED PROBLEMS
As I woefully read in a post once, "They didn't even read it, just deleted it."
This is highly untrue, as our mod team must go through each and every single post and be certain that it pertains to both Moot Content Policy. Any posts that don’t abide by these very simple and easy-to-follow criteria are deleted.
The following is a fluid set of FAQs that will be updated as frequently as I can add to it, so be sure to check it often - chances are it has an answer to what you’re looking for before you post.
If not, post away!
“Why did my post get moved?”
It was moved because it was originally posted on the wrong Board. Be sure to check where you are posting, and what you’re posting before submitting.
“Why did my post get deleted?”
It was deleted because of the following:
- It was against/contained material against the Moot Content Policy.
You can also check this thread out for some helpful tips about deleted content:
“Why was I banned?”
I'd be really surprised to see this being asked.. But:
- Your post(s) was against/contained material against the Moot Content Policy.
- You are a repeat-offender this behavior
REGARDING GAME-RELATED TECH-HELP & REFERENCES TO SUPPORT
