SUGGESTIONS

Language
We strongly encourage the use of English in all public areas of ManiaExchange. This makes it easier for an international audience to communicate on the site. Regardless of the language you use, please try to write with proper grammar, punctuation and spelling so others can easily use a translation tool if needed.

Screenshots
When you upload your map, the map thumbnail (snapshot) will be used as a screenshot. The snapshot camera can be set in the editor before saving the map. If you want a different screenshot, you can upload a screenshot along with the map. It will be displayed on the map page. Screenshots that show a clear portion of the map are more likely to attract players since they can see what your map is like.

Replays
Uploading a replay on your map will show other players that you value records, and it can start a record hunt that will increase the leaderboard ranking of your map. It can also help you improve as a creator and driver to see how others play your map. So pay it forward by uploading replays on other maps you drive.

Awards
Show appreciation for the maps you enjoy playing by awarding them. This is also your opportunity to provide constructive feedback about the map. Tell the author what specific parts were fun and well made or what can be improved. Awarding maps can help others discover maps they might enjoy.

RULES

Content should be suitable for all ages

• No inappropriate content (including content shown when the map is played)
  
• No foul language
  

Treat others with respect

• Don’t insult, flame, or troll other users
  
• Don’t threaten others with violence or harassment
  
• Don’t impersonate other people
  
• Don’t upload or modify other people's maps without permission and credit
  

Keep it honest

• Don’t link to, or use, cheats or game exploits
  
• Don’t link to illegal downloads of software or music
  
• Don’t award a map if you built part of the route
  
• Award only the maps that you believe deserve it
  
• Don't use official tags in map names (ESL, CEP, etc.) unless map has been chosen
  
• Do not upload replays saved with the "Export to validate" function, as these contain no ghost and are harder to validate they are legit. Any such uploaded replays will be deleted.
  

Shortcuts are allowed

• Leaving the intended path of a map is allowed, as long as you pass through all checkpoints.
  
It’s the responsibility of the map author to prevent shortcuts.

• However, don't drive against Pre-MP4 replays to gain an advantage on maps (e.g. wall-hacking)
  

• Don’t be a backseat moderator (trying to enforce the rules yourself).
  

See something? Say something. Report it to the moderators.
