Respect Guidelines – Engagement Positive
Welcome to Ets Game Vent — a focused, energetic space for those who live and breathe gaming, strategy, team development, and tournament building. Whether you’re a casual fan, a competitive player, or a behind-the-scenes tournament organizer, we’ve created this community to support learning, sharing, and meaningful discussion. Our goal is to ensure every person here feels welcome, heard, and respected. These guidelines help us do just that.
Founded by Zelric Droshar in Syracuse, New York, Ets Game Vent brings you structured insights and passionate commentary on everything from hot topics in gaming to core gaming strategies, esports team developments, and tournament setups. Through these guidelines, we support a constructive space where gaming minds can come together to explore, compete, and grow — ethically and thoughtfully.
The Purpose of These Guidelines
Guidelines foster clarity and protect the sense of belonging we value so deeply. They support our mission: to elevate gaming conversations, encourage creative collaboration, and ensure everyone has a voice without fear of toxicity, aggression, or exclusion. Whether you’re dropping opinions on new console releases or offering hosting tips for in-person matches, these guidelines will help you be part of a stronger, smarter, more respectful gaming community.
Our Core Values
Every participant brings something unique to Ets Game Vent. Whether it’s enthusiasm, insight, humor, or a new way to solve a raid puzzle, we grow stronger together when we lead with integrity and openness. Here’s what we value:
- Civic Respect: Agree or disagree, we speak with care, especially when passions run high.
- Contribution over competition: Winning an argument isn’t the goal. Helping others learn and enjoy — is.
- Shared learning: We critique ideas, not people. We get better by building (not breaking) each other’s efforts.
- Humility in expertise: You might be the top frag on your team, but keep it gracious. Every gamer starts as a beginner.
- Credit and citation: Honor the origin of every insight. Shout out resources with links. Give props freely.
Joining the Conversation
Being part of Ets Game Vent goes beyond scrolling and reacting. We encourage active, respectful, and relevant engagement:
- Speak to the topic. Whether it’s insider explorations or tech campaigns, stay context-aware and keep discussions aligned.
- Beware of tone. Format and emoticons help, but assume words carry weight. Be clear, constructive, and honest.
- Ask before assuming. Don’t call out, team up. Questions build bridges — declarations build walls.
- Reply constructively. If you disagree, do so with clarity and purpose, not ego.
- Bring value. Whether a comment, a tip, or a resource link — contribute with intent to help or teach.

Supportive Conduct
Great minds can be passionate — and that’s okay. But passion should never excuse hostility. To keep this community safe and welcoming, the following are not tolerated:
- Bullying, harassment, threats, or intimidation of any kind
- Hate speech, personal attacks, or discriminatory language
- Spam, self-promotion, or off-topic solicitation
- Sharing private content or impersonating identities
If any such behavior is seen, our moderation will quietly step in to clear distractions and protect the tone of our ecosystem. For concerns, questions, or reports, please contact us directly at [email protected] — we respond with care, not carbon copy replies.
Content, Sharing, and Attribution
We encourage you to quote, share, and remix—but do so responsibly. Whether referring to advice from our Lead and Learn resources or referencing someone’s comments, always acknowledge the source. If resharing something public or from our blog areas — such as Core Gaming Strategies and Tactics — make sure you link back to the original URL and identify the creator whenever possible. Giving credit fosters trust, which keeps ideas flowing freely.
Privacy and Boundaries
Protecting personal space online matters just as much as it does IRL. That means not sharing contact details, screenshots, or private messages without clear consent. It also means respecting that some people may not want to continue a conversation — and that’s okay too.
For the more formal stuff (but still worth knowing), visit our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms and Conditions. They explain how data is used and how we protect your activity here.
When Moderation Steps In
Our moderation isn’t a squad with hammers — they’re stewards who help conversations remain fruitful. When content is removed, it’s not about punishment. It’s about upholding the shared values we’ve built together. Our decisions focus on keeping the whole space welcoming and effective for everyone — longtime contributors and first-time commenters alike.
Flagged content is reviewed with professionalism and privacy. If something needs to be addressed, we’ll reach out directly and respectfully. And if something you encounter feels against the spirit of this space, don’t hesitate to let us know at [email protected].
Teamwork, Growth, and Gameplan Collaboration
No one rises alone in the game. At Ets Game Vent, we believe in fostering pathways for aspiring leaders, organizers, writers, and gamers. Those interested in expanding their impact through workshops, strategy content, and esports framework thinking can find ongoing involvement inside our Leadership Toolkit or by visiting Talk to Experts. We welcome you to challenge the playbook — with respect and insight.

The Power of Respect
Gaming is a powerful form of expression. It brings us together, pushes boundaries, and creates immersive learning layers few other mediums can offer. But with that power comes responsibility: to speak clearly, listen deeply, and treat every contributor as a partner in conversation — not an obstacle.
Thank you for making Ets Game Vent not just a hub of curated knowledge — but a community worthy of our shared energy. With each respectful message, thoughtful share, and honest reply, you strengthen the gameworld we’re shaping together.
