Community Guidelines – Engagement Positive
Welcome to Hearthss Gaming — where virtual champions rally, strategies stack, and creativity finds its next side quest. Whether you’re climbing digital ladders, dissecting boss mechanics, or comparing ping like a pro, this is your place to connect, share, and level up — together. Our Community Guidelines exist to keep your play and conversations high-score worthy: that means respectful, inclusive, and never glitchy (attitude-wise, anyway).
Created by our founder, Jorval Kelvayne, Hearthss Gaming is rooted in bold play, collaborative spirit, and the thrill of discovery. From gaming tactics to industry buzz and optimization hacks that push play to the next tier, our mission is to elevate the experience one insight, match, and moment at a time. Together, we’re more than just players — we’re a guild of thinkers, builders, testers, and tacticians. Let’s keep it fun. And fair.
Our Quest Together
Our community space exists so that strategists, speedrunners, newbies, and lore-nerds alike can connect over shared passion. But passion doesn’t excuse bad behavior. (We’re talking to you, rage-quitters and salt miners.) These friendly rules aren’t a firewall — they’re a compass to co-op harmony.
Here, we believe:
- Creativity thrives where respect lives.
- Everyone has something valuable to contribute—even if they just died for the tenth time in the tutorial. We’ve been there, too.
- Gaming is a powerful language — but kindness is still the universal one.
Whether you’re reacting to the latest from competitive virtual arenas or swapping advice about multiplayer experiences, your tone sets the tone. So let’s keep the chat full of smart plays, sharp laughs, and supportive vibes.
XP Boost: Our Core Values
Kicking off any great playthrough starts with solid core stats. Our values keep this space healthy and inspiring:
- Respect: Everyone here has a voice. Listen like it’s comms in the middle of a high-stakes raid.
- Fair Play: No exploiting bugs of human decency. Harassment and gatekeeping? That’s an instant game over.
- Curiosity: Ask questions, test theories — learning is power.
- Integrity: Give credit for clever strats and creative content. No respawns from plagiarism.
- Kindness: React like your favorite healer: quick to support, slow to flame.

The Do’s of Digital Engagement
You’ve got your controls mapped and macros ready — now here’s how to participate with flair:
- Ask smart, honest questions.
- Share tips, failures, weird bugs, and creative wins.
- Reply with thoughtful takes, not takedowns.
- Celebrate newcomers just as much as top-fraggers.
- Link content clearly — whether it’s an insider peek from Insider Knowledge or your own epic first victory screenshot.
You’d be amazed what happens when we each bring one helpful keystroke to the chatroom. Think lore-building, replay value, side missions unlocked all thanks to someone showing up as their best player self.
The Don’ts of This Arena
While we honor creativity and individuality in all their pixel-perfect forms, there are certain XP drains that will get flagged faster than a cheater at a LAN party:
- Bullying, hate speech, or any form of discrimination
- Overheat-level negativity or toxic sarcasm
- Spamming the same cross-promo link 15 times in one hour
- Lifting others’ walkthroughs, gaming clips, or memes without a shoutout
- Posting misleading info about mechanics, tools, or safety
If you’ve got good intel or a funny story, awesome — just keep it clean, relevant, and give credit where due, whether it originated from Gaming Tactics and Strategies or your friend’s legendary LAN party fail.
Moderation: The Watchers, Not the Wardens
Our moderation crew works like stealth NPCs: mostly behind the curtain but always observant. We’re not here to over-police. We’re here to make sure the space stays playable for everyone. Any post or comment that violates these guidelines may be removed. No surprise boss battles — just feedback that keeps you questing forward.
If you see something hostile, misleading, or off-topic, let us know. Email the moderation mages at [email protected] and we’ll stealthily investigate. Because every world – even digital – needs its guardians.
Praise the Creator: Sharing & Attribution
When you share content from Hearthss Gaming or another member, link it. Mention it. Shout it from the rooftops of your favorite streaming platform. Just don’t lift it as your own. Explore wild new builds from Gameplay Optimization Hacks, remix a strategy video — with permission — or quote someone’s review from Multiplayer Experience Reviews. Innovation and inspiration bloom when we honor the origin.

Your Privacy, Your Settings
We get it — stealth is your style. You want to play loud, live smart, and share only what matters. That’s why we take privacy seriously. For full details about how your data, cookies, and access are handled, head to our:
These aren’t boring fine print extras — they’re part of how we keep your experience smooth, secure, and transparent. Keep your IRL info out of the chat, avoid posting sensitive details, and we’ll respect your right to choose how and when to show up.
Co-Op Mode: Grow With Us
The future of Hearthss is collaborative. Whether you’re ready to drop content, propose a feature, test new tools — like our awesome API Testing Tool — or provide feedback on a discussion thread, your voice matters. Our shared journey is built by game brains like yours.

The Founder’s Vision
Jorval Kelvayne envisioned Hearthss Gaming as more than just another strategy hub. He dreamed of creating a corner of the internet where brilliance and support go hand in hand — where spotlight moments are shared, not hoarded, and where questions are treated like powerups, not setbacks.
Every line of code, guide, and forum post is a reflection of that commitment to excellence, experimentation, and equity. It’s a game state we’ll never stop refining.

Final Mission Reminder
The best games aren’t about the scoreboard. They’re about the stories made along the way. By showing up generously, interacting ethically, and staying open to other players’ perspectives, you make Hearthss Gaming what it’s meant to be: collaborative, compelling, and community-powered.
We’re glad you’re on this quest with us. See you in the feed, the raids, the forums — and beyond.
