HBTOP50 Community Policy

Rules

These rules protect fair rankings, useful reviews and a healthy directory for both players and server owners.

Review Guidelines
Applies to all accounts Creating an account or using HBTOP50 means you agree to follow the rules that apply to your account type. Serious or repeated violations may lead to content removal, listing restrictions, suspension or account termination.
Player Account Rules

Participate honestly and constructively

Player accounts are intended for genuine community participation—not for influencing rankings on behalf of a server.

01

Use one genuine account

Do not create or operate alternate, duplicate, disposable or shared Player accounts to gain extra votes, submit extra reviews, evade moderation or influence any public metric.

02

Vote fairly

Vote only through normal HBTOP50 voting methods. Automated voting, scripts, bots, proxy/VPN rotation for duplicate votes, device farms, vote exchanges or any method intended to bypass vote limits is prohibited.

03

Review servers you have genuinely experienced

Your review and ratings should be based on meaningful first-hand experience. Do not rate a server solely because a friend, guild, owner or competitor asked you to.

04

Rate each category independently

Do not give every category the same extreme score as a reward or punishment. Consider Stability, Availability, Community, Game Masters, Gameplay and Monetization separately. See the Review Guidelines for the exact criteria.

05

No fake or coordinated reviews

Review brigading, guild-wide score attacks, paid reviews, review swaps, copied reviews and coordinated positive or negative campaigns are not allowed.

06

Keep reviews relevant

Discuss the server and your experience. Avoid unrelated personal disputes, advertising another server, repeated text, meaningless filler, referral spam or content created only to affect the score.

07

Be truthful about serious claims

Do not knowingly publish fabricated allegations, impersonate staff or players, or present speculation as confirmed fact. If you describe bans, scams, cheating or staff misconduct, explain what you personally observed without inventing evidence.

08

No harassment or abusive content

Criticism is allowed; targeted harassment, threats, doxxing, discriminatory abuse, excessive personal attacks and attempts to intimidate reviewers, owners or staff are not.

09

Do not manipulate helpful/report tools

Do not mass-click helpful votes, submit bad-faith reports or organize others to suppress legitimate reviews. Reports should identify a genuine rule or moderation issue.

10

Do not evade moderation

If a review or account is moderated, do not recreate the same content through another account, slightly altered text or another person. Use the available support/report process where appropriate.

11

Protect account security

Keep your login private and use a valid email. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless HBTOP50 determines the account was compromised.

12

Respect platform integrity

Do not probe, exploit or abuse HBTOP50 features, upload malicious content, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with service availability or intentionally bypass security controls.

Enforcement

Depending on severity and history, HBTOP50 may reject or remove content, invalidate suspicious votes, place reviews in moderation, restrict listing features, suspend an account or remove a server listing. Immediate action may be taken for security abuse, large-scale manipulation or serious harmful conduct.
