What the community is

Community is the social layer of MapToPlay. It includes the Feed, Forum, Profiles, Messenger, notifications, leaderboards, achievements, and moderation tools.

Community features are separate from project editing. You can build maps without posting, commenting, or messaging anyone. When you do use Community, your activity contributes to profile stats, experience, achievements, and cooldown state described in Experience and Achievements.

Rules and access

Before using Community, your account must agree to the community rules. The API stores when you agreed or declined. If you have not agreed yet, community pages that require access return a rules prompt instead of content.

The current rules are:

• Be respectful. No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks.
• Keep content relevant to map creation, workflows, and the platform community.
• Do not post sensitive information, credentials, private data, or personal contact details.
• No spam, coordinated manipulation, or abusive engagement behavior.
• Moderation decisions are final for safety-related actions.

Community mute

Moderators and admins can community-mute an account. A muted account can still exist on the platform, but write actions in Community are blocked: feed posts, comments, profile comments, direct messages, and similar participation actions fail.

A mute can include a reason. Moderators can remove recent community content from a muted user through the moderation tools explained in Notifications and Moderation.

Where to go next

Use the Feed for platform-wide user posts and changelog posts. Use the Forum for structured sections, subforums, topics, and replies. Use Profiles to view a user, like them, comment on their profile, see their public collections, and send a message request.

Use Messenger for direct and team conversations. Use Experience and Achievements to understand XP, cooldowns, profile unlocks, achievements, and leaderboards.
