We can't feature everything, especially the bad stuff. We have put in rules to tell you what you can't, or can do in your distros to keep our community safe.
If you try to upload a malicious distro:
- We don't just test out submissions on our host computer, we test them through virtual machines with the internet off (to prevent ransomware spreading)
- if the compatibility is wrong on your distro, we will try 10 different versions in order, 5 in front, 5 behind, or all in front. If compatibility fails, the distro is rejected. Please make sure to state specifically what operating system your machine is compatible on
if you try to upload mean distros:
- Distros that contain content that attacks, harasses, or spreads lies about other people in a harsh way, will be removed, and legal consequences will take place, depending on the severity of the hate speech
if you try to upload misleading distros:
- The code will be checked, and if certain facts are misleading, you will get notified to change them. The reason we do this, is to prevent false facts from spreading, that would mislead the technical community, and slow down our learning. Make sure your facts are backed up by evidence, even though these are parodies, they are at a higher standard than the simple parodies from 2002-2015. We want to have good and creative content, not rushed terrible content
if your distro contains offensive language/bad grammar, offensive content
- the grammar will be corrected, unless it is going by a joke. Offensive language is allowed at a very small extent. You may use certain swear words that qualify as E, or E10+, but racial slurs, blood, gore, nudity, sexual jokes are not tolerated, and will be taken down
if your distro is a copy
- we check the code of other distros. If you are just copying their code, and claiming it as their own, even with changes, we will go over it with them, and make sure you either have permission, or that you are not stealing code. Code theft is not allowed, and your project will be taken down. Please make sure to change the graphics, and code enough to make it your own original work, not just a copy of someone elses
