Full List of Forum Rules and Infractions

3 Keep everything SFW Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit, such as swearing, nudity, violent or graphic content. Warning to suspension

4 Age To conform to C.O.P.P.A. regulations, all users must be at least 13 to use Replit unless written consent from your parents is provided. Suspension until 13th birthday

5 Keep it tidy Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed,” use the “Like” button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a New Topic. Warning

8 Use flags wisely Do your best not to flag posts that do not go against our community standards. Warning

9 Don’t bypass automatic filters. Our filters are in place to increase the quality of posts. If a filter is proving more frustrating than helpful, you may report it to our moderators in #general. Warning

10 Common sense Just because something is not listed here does not mean it is not permitted in our community. If common sense tells you that something should not be done don’t do it. Depends on the severity of the action

11 Moderators have the final say. Our moderators may have to make tough calls on how to make the forum safer and more enjoyable for all of our users. Users may appeal these actions (see below), but the decision is ultimately up to our mods and staff. Depends on the severity of the action

A post was split to a new topic: Cant fork repls. Saying they are in violation of TOS

CoderElijah · February 15, 2023, 5:58pm

What is “Reply as a New Topic”? It is listed here as if it were a feature. I don’t have that feature.

not-ethan · February 15, 2023, 5:59pm

Go to reply then on the top left of the editor click this icon

Then change it to Reply Ask Linked Topic

CoderElijah · February 15, 2023, 5:59pm

Oh wow; I had no idea you could click on that. Thanks!

not-ethan · February 18, 2023, 4:49pm

We revamped the Off Topic flag. It is not It's Off-Topic/Too Chatty. If something is too chatty or off topic please flag it as that. Any chatting should be done with in messages or another platform like discord. If you have any questions feel free to Ask

JayAySeaOhBee14 · February 24, 2023, 1:35am

Could we make a category for off topic stuff lol?

not-ethan · February 24, 2023, 1:43am

No we cant. We have disscused this internally but Replit Staff said that off topic stuff should happen in messages, the discord or not on Replit. Feel free to share why you think we should have one in #general and tag it with #forum-feedback

I am very thankful that you guys are doing the right actions with the forum
Seeing other forums for games get very out of hand but you guys taking the right actions makes me very thankful for the replit team

keep up the good work guys

JayAySeaOhBee14 · February 24, 2023, 12:56pm

I just unlocked messages and had no clue it was an option

But yah thats probably for the best

Is there a way to do a group chat? (Again, very new to this lmao)

ParkerGriffith · February 24, 2023, 1:19pm

i would agree even the forums from other websites 5 posts and then a ban

not-ethan · February 24, 2023, 2:21pm

iirc you need to be TL2 to do this. To do it start drafting a message and add multiple people to the recipients.

MichaelAlvarezG · February 27, 2023, 10:41pm

ok good im older than 13

ParkerGriffith · February 27, 2023, 10:58pm

im 14 years old tbh i feel younger and older at the same time lol

QwertyQwerty88 · February 28, 2023, 1:09am

You mean it is now Off-Topic/Too Chatty. You should probably fix that

KyndallReddick · February 28, 2023, 8:46pm

hello, im new here, could someone give me a recap of what this app is and how it is used, and what is it used for?

not-ethan · February 28, 2023, 8:46pm

A recap of Replit or Replit Ask (these forums)?

KyndallReddick · February 28, 2023, 8:47pm

replit and replit are the same thing… im confused now lol srry

CoderElijah · February 28, 2023, 8:51pm

Replit is a website providing an online coding environment, coding collaboration, free web hosting, and the like. Replit Ask is the Replit forum powered by Discourse. The latter is the one you are currently using.
