A Foundation for Better Play
At Dorgenven, we don’t just follow the buzz—we dissect it. Our Respect Guidelines serve as a guidepost for engaging with everything from optimal class builds to console quirks in an inclusive, fun, and constructive environment.
Respect Through Dialogue
Debate the mechanic, not the person. We welcome high-caliber analysis and honest critique, provided the discussion remains productive and evidence-based rather than personal or argumentative.
Inclusivity is Strength
Our community spans diverse platforms, genres, and play styles. We view this variety as a mega-buff to our collective perspective and firmly reject gatekeeping in favor of shared gaming growth.
Contribution First
Every voice matters when it builds the mission. We encourage feedback that informs, uplifts, or questions in good faith, ensuring that our Salisbury-based hub remains a space readers genuinely trust.
Healthy Engagement
Imagine Dorgenven as your favorite open-world hub. Drop in to gear up, swap tactics, double-check your system spec — and make it better for the next adventurer. This is what responsible engagement looks like:
- Ask clearly. If you have a question about optimization or features, phrase it so others can weigh in usefully.
- Critique constructively. State what didn’t work, why it didn’t, and what could improve. “This mechanic sucks” won’t help; “Here’s what breaks immersion…” just might.
- Credit sources. Found that nugget in a dev AMA, a speedrunner breakdown, or a tech forum? Throw a link or shoutout their way.
- Respond with care. If someone’s wrong — kindly note it, cite evidence, and let it be. Winning an argument ≠ adding value.
And if a discussion gets heated (they occasionally do), take a breath. Read the room before reloading your opinion. We’re here to solve puzzles together — not throw the controller.
What’s Not Cool
Moderation is purposeful. Clearly off-limits: Hate speech, slurs, targeted harassment, bullying based on skill, misinformation, and trolling. Violations trigger swift address via nudges or permanent bans.
Credit & Collaboration
Analysis thrives on attribution. Always cite original theorycraft, mechanic breakdowns, or frame data tests. Claiming others' work short-circuits trust; keep the signal clean for the ecosystem.
Fighting for Fairness
Moderators pull the occasional weed so the community can grow. We nudge first and correct gently. If you feel a flag was unjust, reach out directly to the Salisbury team for a serious review.
Your Ideas, Your Safety
Do not post personal info like full names or addresses. What you choose to express about your gaming habits is on your terms. For data rights and cookie details, visit our Privacy Policy.
Accountability
Stumbled on a comment skirting these principles? Report it. We’re not here to shame, but abusive behavior must be named to protect the space. Trust matters here, and we defend it with tenacity.
A Note from the Founder
Valdran Vosswyn launched Dorgenven to root out fluff and plant smart, fair analysis. His philosophy: "Gaming is a shared language, not a solo brag reel." Our standards keep the signal high.
Need to Connect?
For questions or suggestions that deserve our ears, don't hesitate. We are available Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM EST, at our Maryland command center.
Respect the Space
Engage cleanly, boldly, and responsibly. Whether breaking news or troubleshooting broken macros, thanks for adding your voice respectfully to the Dorgenven community. Every thoughtful comment elevates the whole.
