Site usage terms
All OpenGeofiction users must consent to the site terms of use and contributor terms upon creating an account. Any user that continues to edit on OpenGeofiction does so under the subject of these terms.
Civility
OpenGeofiction prides itself on being an open, welcoming community with mappers from around the world collaborating on a huge, diverse project. As such, in addition to treating other mappers with respect at all times, we ask that all participants understand that the project will have a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints, not all of which will be shared by each person in the community. However, deliberately hateful mapping, speech, and actions will not be tolerated.
Civility extends to potential conflicts between users on and off-site. If conflicts arise in mapping, especially in free-edit ("blue") or collaborative ("purple") territories, please see the territory etiquette page to begin conflict resolution.
Verisimilitude
Verisimilitude means "like real", so the issue of verisimilitude is related to what kinds of countries we are working to build together in OpenGeofiction.
This guideline has been established for a simple reason: we all have to share this one fictional planet. If we want our "world map" not to turn into a crazy patchwork of improbable kingdoms, if we want the trade and diplomacy and geology and everything else to make sense and fit together, we all have to be following the same laws of physics and sociology. It's a way to make sure we are all putting together the same jig-saw puzzle.
For further information about what constitutes or does not constitute verisimilitude, or to inquire about items on the OpenGeofiction map, please see OGF:Verisimilitude.
