Community & Content Guidelines

Learn the AntMag Community & Content Guidelines for Garry's Mod! We're all about fun, respect, and keeping our walkthroughs and guides awesome for everyone. Let's build something cool together!

Hey there! So, you're diving into the wild world of Garry's Mod and want to contribute to AntMag? That's awesome! Before you start sharing your amazing walkthroughs, guides, or any content, it's super important we all get on the same page about what's cool and what's not. Think of this as our friendly chat about keeping AntMag a fun, safe, and helpful place for everyone. We're not here to be super strict, but more like experienced friends guiding you on how to be a great community member.

Basically, we want content that's helpful, respectful, and actually about Garry's Mod. This means no spam, no hate speech, no NSFW stuff that doesn't belong, and definitely no ripping off other people's work. We're all about building cool things together, and that starts with respecting each other and the game we love.

What We Love to See:

• Helpful Walkthroughs & Guides: If you've figured out a tricky part of a GMod gamemode or have a great tip for a specific map, share it! We want details, clear steps, and maybe even some fun screenshots or videos.
• Creative Content: Got a cool contraption you built? A funny GMod machinima? As long as it's relevant to Garry's Mod and follows the rules, we're interested!
• Constructive Feedback: See something that could be improved? Let us know politely in the comments. We're all here to learn and grow.

What We Need to Avoid:

• Spam and Self-Promotion: Links to unrelated sites, excessive advertising, or just posting the same thing over and over. Keep it focused on GMod and AntMag.
• Hate Speech and Harassment: This is a big one. No racism, sexism, homophobia, or any kind of targeted abuse. We want AntMag to be a welcoming space for everyone.
• NSFW Content: Unless it's directly relevant to a specific, marked adult-themed GMod experience and handled with extreme care and proper tagging, keep it clean.
• Plagiarism: Don't steal other people's content. If you're sharing something that isn't yours, make sure you have permission and give credit where it's due.
• Off-Topic Content: While GMod is versatile, let's try to keep the content focused on the game itself. Guides on how to tie your shoes, while useful, probably don't belong here.

A Few Extra Tips for Being an Awesome Contributor:

• Be Respectful: Even when you disagree, be polite. Remember there's a person on the other side of the screen.
• Be Clear: When writing guides or walkthroughs, make sure your steps are easy to follow. Use formatting like lists and bold text to make things clear.
• Be Accurate: Double-check your facts, especially when it comes to game mechanics or specific item locations.
• Engage with Others: Respond to comments on your posts, answer questions, and be a part of the community.

We're really excited to see what you bring to AntMag! By following these simple guidelines, you'll be helping us create the best darn Garry's Mod resource out there. If you ever have a question or are unsure about something, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy creating!
