Community Guidelines

1. Submission Guidelines

1.1 Content Requirements

All exploit submissions must be:

• Relevant — actual Minecraft exploits or related glitches
• Accurate — correct affected versions, server software, and reproduction steps
• Complete — enough detail for others to understand and verify the exploit
• Original — not a duplicate of an existing entry

1.2 Prohibited Content

• Fake exploits — fabricated or non-functional
• Malware — content containing or linking to malicious software
• Off-topic — anything unrelated to Minecraft
• Spam — repetitive, low-quality, or promotional submissions
• Harmful content — content promoting illegal activities beyond game exploits

1.3 Attribution

Credit the original discoverer if you are not the finder, don't claim credit for others' work, and link to original sources where available (YouTube, forums, etc.). Failure to attribute may result in rejection or account restrictions.

2. Content Licensing

2.1 CC BY 4.0 License

All submitted content is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). Anyone can share, adapt, and reuse your submission for any purpose with attribution; you retain copyright while granting these permissions to the public. DupeDB's platform rules (§1.3) also require crediting original discoverers.

2.2 What You Can Submit

Exploits you discovered yourself, publicly known exploits with attribution to the original finder, and your own screenshots, videos, and documentation.

2.3 Third-Party Media

You may embed publicly available YouTube videos — they remain on the original platform and aren't covered by CC BY 4.0. Don't upload copyrighted media you don't own.

2.4 Verified Submissions

Pending submissions can be edited or deleted by you. Once verified by staff, they become part of the permanent archive and can only be modified or removed by staff — contact us to request corrections.

3. Commenting Rules

Comments should be relevant, helpful, and on-topic — corrections, clarifications, and related experiences are welcome. Not allowed in comments:

• Spam — advertising, self-promotion, repetitive messages
• Harassment — personal attacks, threats, bullying
• Hate speech — discrimination based on race, gender, religion, etc.
• Off-topic — unrelated discussions or arguments
• NSFW — adult, violent, or disturbing material
• Doxxing — sharing private information about others

4. Profile Rules

Your profile (username and avatar) is synced from Discord. Your Discord profile must not impersonate other users, staff, or public figures; contain slurs, hate speech, or offensive imagery; include NSFW content; or display hate symbols or graphic violence. Staff may restrict accounts with inappropriate profiles.

5. Voting Guidelines

Upvote accurate, well-documented, useful exploits. Downvote inaccurate, outdated, or poorly documented ones. Don't manipulate votes via multiple accounts, vote trading or brigading, or automated voting.

6. Moderation & Enforcement

6.1 Content Review

All submissions are reviewed by moderators. We may approve, edit, or reject submissions; request changes; update exploit status (verified, working, patched, etc.); or remove content that violates these guidelines.

6.2 Enforcement Actions

Violations may result in: a warning, content removal, temporary restriction of submission or commenting privileges, account suspension, or permanent ban — depending on severity and history.

6.3 Appeals

If you think a moderation action was made in error, contact the moderation team with any additional context or evidence. Appeals are reviewed case by case; final decisions rest with the moderation team.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update these guidelines. Changes are posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date; continued use constitutes acceptance.
