Guidelines

What the catalog accepts, what it refuses, and how disputes are handled.

These guidelines apply to every server listing and every image in the catalog. They describe what a maintainer will reject, and what happens afterwards.

Accepted content

  • Accurate information about a Minecraft server that you own or are authorized to represent.
  • Images that you own, or that you have permission to publish.
  • Descriptions that match what the server actually offers.

Refused content

  • Images or text that you do not have the right to publish.
  • Offensive, hateful or sexually explicit content, in any field or image.
  • A listing that impersonates another network, or uses another network's brand to suggest a connection that does not exist.
  • A trademark used to suggest an endorsement the owner has not given.
  • Personal data about private individuals, including contact details that are not the server's official channels.
  • Malicious links, links that deceive about their destination, or links to content that infects or tracks visitors.
  • Submissions that try to attack the tooling. Report those through security, not through a pull request.

Disputes and removals

A rights holder, or an owner who wants a listing removed, can ask through the repository's issue tracker or the private contact in the security policy. A maintainer reviews the request and, when it is valid, opens a removal pull request. A server that must not return has its id retired.

Maintainers may also remove content that breaks these guidelines, without waiting for a request.

Changing a decision

If a listing was refused or removed, you can open a new pull request that corrects the problem, and explain what changed. A maintainer will review it on its merits.

These guidelines are a policy, not legal advice. Questions about specific rights should be taken to a qualified professional.
