EtternaOnline Rules & Guidelines

Introduction

This thread outlines the general rules and guidelines for all of EtternaOnline. All users are expected to follow these rules to ensure fair play and maintain a respectful environment.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with them. Failure to comply may result in permanent suspension of your account.


Global Rules

These rules apply to all services used by EtternaOnline, both now and in the future. (Website, Forum, Wiki, etc).

  1. You are only allowed to sign up for one online account. Creation of multiple accounts / multiaccounting for any purpose is strictly prohibited.

  2. Don’t share your account details with anyone else under any circumstances. This includes sharing your scores and replays.

  3. Be respectful of everyone. Don’t troll, harass or otherwise go out of your way to intentionally try to piss people off.

  4. Choose an appropriate username. Do not use a username that contains offensive language, targets or incriminates somebody else, or impersonates staff members.

  5. Do not post or upload malicious, offensive, suggestive, or NSFW content on any part of the website. This includes your profile avatar and description.

  6. Do not spam or post low-effort content.

  7. Do not abuse the website and any of its associate services.

  8. Keep it fair, be honest and do not cheat in any way.


Leaderboard Rules

EtternaOnline leaderboards are focused on Spread keyboard play. We expect that all scores submitted to the leaderboards are played on this style.

  1. You are only allowed to submit scores played with one finger per column.

  2. Your scores must be set using a key setup where your finger placement matches the column layout from left to right (Left, Down, Up, Right - with no alternation).

  3. You may not submit scores done with multiple fingers or keybindings for the same column. Exceptions are:

  • 2 fingers/keybindings for center lane in uneven keycount modes
  • 2 fingers/keybindings for left/rightmost columns in scratch key keymodes
  • Specific charts where the intent is to hit with multiple fingers, at the site moderators discretion
  • Playing index (Unless it’s a jack chart)
  1. You are allowed to submit scores achieved with other playstyles, such as Index or One Hand, as long as they follow the one finger per column rule.

  2. Continously abusing forbidden techniques on the leaderboards (double setup, one hand/two hand trilling a key) may result in your scores being invalidated, and/or your account being banned.


Pack Rules

The packs featured on the website are curated based on requests from members of the community. If you would like your favorite packs to be ranked (provided you’ve played them), you may read the pack ranking guidelines here.

  1. We reserve the right to deny or remove packs from ranking for any reason, even if it’s not specifically mentioned in the guidelines.

  2. Users who repeatedly violate the pack guidelines or attempt to comply with them maliciously may have their request privileges revoked.


Reporting

If you believe someone is breaking the rules, feel free to reach out and provide a brief explanation of the situation. Moderators and admins can be contacted directly via the forum or Discord.
