Community Overview

How Community access, rules, profiles, feed, forum, messenger, notifications, and moderation fit together.

What the community is

Community is the social layer of MapToPlay. It includes the Feed, Forum, Profiles, Messenger, Notifications and Reports, leaderboards, and achievements.

Community features are separate from project editing. You can build maps without posting, commenting, or messaging anyone. When you do use Community, your activity contributes to profile stats, experience, achievements, and cooldown state described in Experience and Achievements.

Rules and access

Before using Community, read and accept the community rules. If you have not accepted yet, a rules prompt appears instead of community content.

The current rules are:

Community pages require rules agreement. Posting, replying, reacting, liking, commenting, and messaging are unavailable while an account is restricted from community participation.
  • Be respectful. No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks.
  • Keep content relevant to map creation, workflows, and the platform community.
  • Do not post sensitive information, credentials, private data, or personal contact details.
  • No spam, coordinated manipulation, or abusive engagement behavior.
  • Moderation decisions are final for safety-related actions.

Community mute

Moderators and admins can community-mute an account. A muted account can still exist on the platform, but write actions in Community are blocked: feed posts, comments, profile comments, direct messages, and similar participation actions fail.

If your account is restricted from community participation, the interface shows the reason when one is available. Use the support channel if you believe the restriction was applied to the wrong account.

Where to go next

Use the Feed for platform-wide user posts and changelog posts. Use the Forum for structured sections, subforums, topics, and replies. Use Profiles to view a user, like them, comment on their profile, see their public collections, and send a message request.

Use Messenger for direct and team conversations. Use Experience and Achievements to understand XP, cooldowns, profile unlocks, achievements, and leaderboards.
