As part of a project to make BYOND a more welcoming system for adults and kids, we have been putting more admin tools in place and applying more people to looking through hub entries. In recent weeks we have deleted hundreds of hub entries. We have also banned dozens of people based on their hub entries and other behavior.

People will no longer get away with illegitimate hub entries. Those with bogus hub entries or keys face possible banning, often without warning.

Some upcoming changes are going to give us an opportunity to review all hub entries. This is your last chance to clean up your act if you are one of those perpetuating the problems.

Here is what is not acceptable:

- Hub entries designed to insult other people in the BYOND community.

- Hub entries with gratuitous foul language or offensive descriptions.

- Hub entries selling material based on copyrighted properties (DBZ, DragonWarrior, etc). This includes requests for donations.

- Hub entries distributing ROMs and emulators, or for that matter, any files not relevant to a BYOND-related hub entry.

- Hub entries redistributing games/icons/etc without permission that someone else created, or copying the name of an original BYOND game without permission from the original creator.

- Keys intended to impersonate BYOND staff or others in the BYOND community.

- Keys that are gratuitously offensive by their name.

We are actively going through hub entries now. If you are part of this problem, I strongly suggest you delete your inappropriate hub entries before we get to them.
