Welcome to The Border Village, the home for Dominion articles, tournament hosting, and competitive discussion. Our mission is to create quality content that will improve the players and metagame of Dominion. We expect you to help us in that mission. Here are a set of guidelines when posting.
1. Wheaton's Law
Don't be a dick. Disagreements are going to happen. When they do, it is important to be courteous, assume the best intentions, ask for clarification where needed, and be generally helpful.
Things we consider toxic on our site:
Whenever in doubt, Wheaton's Law.
2. Thread Creation and Discussion
There are three things to keep in mind when creating and discussing things in threads.
3. Specific Subforums
Different subforums may have different rules of conduct. When posting in a different subforum, make sure you understand what those rules are.
Those are all of the rules for now. In the event of rules changes, a message will be sent to every member.
1. Wheaton's Law
Don't be a dick. Disagreements are going to happen. When they do, it is important to be courteous, assume the best intentions, ask for clarification where needed, and be generally helpful.
Things we consider toxic on our site:
- Insulting others and harassment. Please, don't ever do this. Especially don't send PMs to flame other users. This will get you instantly banned. If you have a problem, contact a moderator.
- Being pedantic. Consistently misinterpreting what others say for a joke is dismissive and generally unhelpful.
- Consistent edgecasing. Dominion being as it is, there's usually always some sort of exception to a rule. If you're going to edgecase, make sure it actually contributes to the conversation.
- Being condescending or patronizing. Be kind whenever possible.
- Don't make alternate accounts. Please use just one account. This includes ban evasion and joke alts.
- Keep conversations as clean as possible. This is a site for discussing Dominion, not about making dirty jokes. When in doubt, assume a kid is going to read what you say, because that's probably going to happen.
- Don't ever bring up Politics, Sex, or Religion. Yes, even if it's a joke. I don't particularly like this rule, but these discussions always go sour. Always. Until the human race decides political affiliation or religious affiliation isn't worth getting upset over, this rule will remain in place.
Whenever in doubt, Wheaton's Law.
2. Thread Creation and Discussion
There are three things to keep in mind when creating and discussing things in threads.
- If a thread topic already exists, don't create another thread. It needlessly clutters the board when there are multiple threads about which Dominion Sets to start with.
- Don't create topics for specific years. Things like "Best Dominion Moments 2017" are not acceptable. Just make a single thread for all Best Dominion Moments.
- Contribute. If you have nothing interesting to say or ask, please don't post. If you're going to make a joke, add serious content alongside it so it is worth reading. Quality discussions are the main focus.
