Forum Guidelines

📜 Forum Guidelines
Welcome to The Hidden Fire Forum. To maintain a healthy, focused, and respectful space for exploration and discussion, we ask all members to follow these core guidelines:

🚫 Absolutely NOT Allowed — in posts or private messages:

• Threats or harassment of any kind

• Flaming, spamming, trolling, or thread hijacking

• Personal attacks (no ad hominem arguments)

• Excessive self-aggrandizing or authoritarian behavior

• Doxxing — no posting of personal or identifying information (names, numbers, addresses, etc.)

• Posting private or restricted content without the explicit permission of all involved parties

• Advertising of any kind — this includes promotions for businesses, services, or other endeavors (excluding sharing your work)

Sharing Your Work — The Right Way
We welcome creativity here — whether it’s music, writing, art, or something else you've brought into the world. If you’ve released something and want to share it, the Art section is the place for that.

• That said, how you share matters more than what you share.

  If you're here just to drop links and disappear, it won’t land well. But if you’re an active part of the community — contributing, engaging, and sharing your thoughts — then showing your work (even if it's for sale) is totally fine. Just be genuine about it.

  We're about connection, not promotion.

✅ General Expectations:

• Be respectful. Engage with curiosity, not hostility. Critique ideas, not people.

• Stay on topic. Keep posts relevant to the section you’re in.

• Use clear titles. Help others navigate and contribute to your discussion.

• Keep it legal and safe. No content that promotes or encourages dangerous, illegal, or harmful activities.

• Protect privacy. Don't share personal information — yours or others’.

Moderators will enforce these rules as needed. We reserve the right to warn, suspend, or remove users who disregard them.

This forum is a space for thoughtful conversation, collaboration, and discovery. Let’s keep it that way.
