Respect Guidelines

Community Guidelines – Respect Guidelines

Welcome to LCF Tech Mods, a dedicated space where gaming passion meets responsible innovation. Whether you’re here for game modding mastery, strategy refinement, or next-level setup tips, we’re glad you’re part of our community. This is more than just a website — it’s a collaborative zone for creators, gamers, and tech enthusiasts.

These Respect Guidelines outline how we interact, share, and grow together in a way that keeps everyone safe, supported, and focused. We’re not here to micromanage — we’re here to foster a strong, respectful environment where creativity and tech-fueled fun can bloom while minimizing distraction, toxicity, or harassment. Consider this the firewall that keeps our corner of the gaming world clean, respected, and cutting-edge.

Founded by Lorven Zyphandell and located in Groveton, New Hampshire, LCF Tech Mods builds bridges between technology and gaming culture. Our approach to community is rooted in precision, respect, and the belief that safe spaces strengthen bold ideas. Whether you’re diving into hot gaming trends or planning your next epic tweak with our modding guides, we’re united by a set of clear expectations — so every interaction lifts the community higher.

Why These Guidelines Exist

In a sea of forums and chat threads, a safe harbor matters. Our guidelines exist to:

  • Shield our contributors from harassment, trolling, and toxicity
  • Ensure accurate, positive, and safe content prevails
  • Establish clear lines around acceptable and unacceptable interactions
  • Build a reliable zone where modders, gamers, and strategists can exchange ideas without fear of ridicule or disrespect

You came here to grow your skills, experiment with ideas, and spark possibilities. These rules ensure you can do that — safely and clearly.

Core Values We Stand Behind

Respect isn’t optional here. It’s essential. From beginners building their first custom textures to pro strategists leading platform-level tactics, every voice deserves space and care. That’s why all participation reflects these values:

  • Clarity: Share insights with direct and honest language — no posturing or obfuscation.
  • Accountability: Own your contributions. Fix misinformation. Correct yourself — respectfully.
  • Maturity: Learn how to argue a point without attacking the person stating it. Passion and civility can co-exist.
  • Support: Celebrate effort. Uplift beginner questions. Watch your tone when offering critique.
  • Inclusion: Whether sharing feedback on a visual effect or tips from the Insider Tips series, connect through mutual curiosity — not condescension.

We’re aiming for a culture that values contribution over ego and learning over gatekeeping. In other words: lose the elitism, default to inclusion, and be sharper with content than with comments.

Acceptable Participation

We encourage:

  • Thoughtful tutorials and how-to breakdowns of mods, from loadouts to logic trees.
  • Clear critiques that help others level up without putting their ideas down.
  • Sharing your personal rig upgrades, strategy failures, or breakthrough moments—from audio fixes to furniture ergonomics (see Gamer Setup Optimization Tips).
  • Productive disagreements over tactics, software, or visual choices — so long as the tone stays fair and the facts intact.

What matters here is that your voice improves the conversation, not inflames it.

Unacceptable Behavior

The following will not be tolerated under any circumstance:

  • Hate speech, discriminatory remarks, or personal attacks
  • Deliberate misinformation, fearmongering, or spam content
  • Obscenities, NSFW content, links to malware, or invasive tracking tools
  • Unwanted promotions, affiliate drops without disclosure, or transaction scams
  • Cultural gatekeeping, mod-shaming, or harassment for style preferences

This community isn’t a free-for-all. If your post or comment consistently lowers the tone, it may be removed. Repeated violations lead to temporary or permanent removal from all LCF Tech Mods channels. Consider yourself warned — discretion and context matter, but so does responsibility.

Moderation and Accountability

We actively moderate, and we don’t apologize for it.

Our team reviews flagged content and step in when boundaries are crossed. The goal isn’t censorship — it’s containment of harmful friction. If you post something that breaks these guidelines, it may be hidden, edited, or removed. Intense disruptions may lead to a one-on-one outreach, a temporary cooldown, or disinvitation from participation altogether.

We moderate in alignment with our mission: building a trust-based, intellectually honest gaming knowledge hub. If something doesn’t feel right, report it. All actions are reviewed with fairness and full context. You can reach us directly at [email protected] or via the Team Contact page.

Responsible Sharing and Attribution

We take crediting seriously. If you’re referencing custom shaders, imported scripts, or third-party contributions you’ve adapted, say so. Link sources. Quote with clarity. Be fair.

Using or remixing guides from our site — such as Modding Guides or Tech-Enhanced Game Mods — is welcomed, but we expect visible credit. Link back. Attribute by name. Pay respect to the labor of others. Collaboration starts with honesty.

You’re welcome to feature or showcase your builds as part of the Site Showcase, or spark new ideas from Ideas Stage entries — just always cite with transparency.

Privacy, Boundaries, and Safe Use

We expect conscientious use of personal information within our spaces. Do not post real names, DMs, private messages, or third-party conversations publicly without consent. Use avatars and gamer tags, not real-world data.

To learn more about how your information is handled and protected, visit our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms of Use. All safety obligations apply, as stated in our system access terms and platform agreements.

Bottom line: your safety, data, and digital footprint deserve protection. Help uphold those boundaries by respecting your own and others’. Think before you post, and trust wisely.
