They started with three simple principles: be useful, be respectful, and be clear.

The site is also a living example of a community-driven project. As of May 2020, its existence depends on donations, with estimated operating costs around 1,200 euros per year. This financial reality underpins a culture that values contribution and discourages actions that might jeopardize the forum's stability.

Low-effort posts (e.g., "cool," "is this out?") are scrubbed daily.

Titles must follow the official naming convention, usually: [Release] Game Name [Version/Build ID] .

Enforcement was light but consistent. New users saw the rules on first login and an automated checklist reminded posters of required fields. Moderators focused on education: gentle warnings, short how-to posts, and a “starter pack” thread for newcomers. Repeat offenders got timed suspensions; abusive accounts were banned with public notes explaining why.
