1) Respect official Forum Rules and Guidelines
Please be mindful of any forum-specific guidelines set out in threads or comments from Frontier Staff and Volunteer Moderators on the forums. These rules will be set out in the specific forum by either the Frontier Community Team or the Volunteer Moderation team, and you agree to adhere to them when posting to that particular section of the forums. Unless stated any rules outside of those listed here only apply to the specific forum areas they are posted in. This also includes rules set in specific threads.
Please note that polls and petitions are not permitted on the forums. Constructive feedback however, is welcome.
Please note that whilst we do appreciate the appeal of game modifications (‘Mods’) that links, images or promotion of Mods are not permitted on our forums.
Any images or media uploaded/embedded on the forums, even if they are hosted elsewhere, will be judged as actions on the official forums. This may result in offences if this content breaks the rules in any way.

The forums do not permit any threads, posts, messages or content that is used to flame, troll, bait, harass or otherwise personally attack other forum users, individuals, Frontier Staff or Frontier Volunteer Moderators. Any discussion should always be directed at the content and not a person.
