Maintaining A Positive Environment

Community Guidelines — Maintaining a Positive Environment

Welcome to LCF Gamevent — an ever-evolving space where game theory meets practical setup, routines meet competitive edge, and the right comment at the right time can actually change the meta. We’re glad you’ve found your way here.

At our core, we’re about making gaming smarter, cleaner, and more engaging — whether you’re deep-diving tournament stats or reworking your dual-monitor mount. We created this page to spell out a few things: how we handle conversations, what we expect from our community, and how we keep this space focused, honest, and forward-facing.

Originating from Sacramento but reaching across the competitive gaming world, LCF Gamevent is founded on the belief that smart play, strong ethics, and raw curiosity drive real progress. These Community Guidelines are designed to maintain the space where that belief thrives, with a shared commitment from everyone who takes part.

What This Page Is (and Isn’t)

This page isn’t a list of rules to trip you up. It’s a framework—a reference—for how we participate, so we get useful, in-depth, and respectful interactions in return. Think of it as a code for making sure the best ideas don’t get lost in the noise.

Our approach favors candor with care, clear thinking without condescension, and space for disagreement so long as mutual respect stays in play.

Our Core Values

Here’s what we stand for—and what we expect from anyone joining the conversation:

  • Clarity: Words shape actions. Be clear and specific when offering insights, especially in data-heavy conversations.
  • Respect: Zero tolerance for hate, shortsighted trolling, or dismissive language. We can be direct without being rude.
  • Curiosity: Bring questions. Engage with feedback. If you don’t know, ask. We’re all building knowledge here.
  • Originality: Plagiarism and lazy copy-pastes waste everyone’s time. Credit your sources or start your own thread.
  • Focus: Keep things on topic. If the thread is about meta-analysis of team rotations, that’s not the moment to drop your new keyboard angle video.

Ways We Engage

We’re game strategists, setup nerds, analysts, and players. That means we tend to notice the little things — fractured arguments, unsupported data, inflated claims. We get excited about novelty and push for depth. That’s the tone we’re trying to foster:

  • Answer questions with something concrete — personal examples, references to our Esports Tournament Insights, data from Gaming Concepts & Strategies, etc.
  • If you disagree, bring a better idea — not a louder opinion.
  • Brevity is not a badge of honor if all it does is erase nuance. Take time to explain well.
  • Add to the signal, not the noise. If you’re just here to vent or show off, this might not be the place.

You’re not expected to be “nice” in a fake way, but being thoughtful? That’s non-negotiable.

Respectful Participation Matters

The internet can get wild — fast. But LCF Gamevent isn’t a place to go feral. Our platforms are built on the assumption that smart, informed conversation helps us all level up. Here’s what works here—and what doesn’t:

Behaviors We Support:

  • Honest, grounded experiences (even failures) that help others get better.
  • Technical questions asked in good faith.
  • Responses that push a topic forward, not sideways.
  • Constructive disagreement — preferably with a source, a link, or data to back it up.

Behaviors That Get Flagged or Removed:

  • Anything discriminatory (racism, ableism, transphobia, or otherwise).
  • Personal attacks or prolonged sarcastic jabs aimed at people — not arguments.
  • Spam, scams, or self-promo that ignores context.
  • “Why even bother?” comments — if you don’t have something helpful, scroll on.

If in doubt, read the thread. You might realize your comment’s already been covered — or that the conversation’s moved on.

How We Moderate

We’re not in the business of lurking, but we are watching. Content that derails, insults, or slaps-together clickbait will be removed — quietly and without a fuss. If it happens repeatedly, we reach out. If it continues, account restrictions follow.

We moderate to protect the dialogue, not to babysit. Think of us as the in-game anti-cheat — subtle unless we need to step in.

Still, if you think something slipped through that shouldn’t have, let us know at [email protected]. See something wrong? Speak up — precision reporting is a form of contribution.

Sharing and Sourcing

We rely heavily on knowledge sharing, but that doesn’t mean “grab and go.” When you link, screenshot, quote, or remix something — credit the origin. Link to our Deep Dives section, to a contributor, or to the specific analysis that sparked your thought.

For proprietary info or reference snippets from Gaming Setup Optimization, attribution isn’t optional. It’s what keeps the machine fair and respected.

Interested in collaborating beyond a post? Start over at Innovators Join — that’s where we vet voices we may want to feature more formally.

Privacy: Yours and Everyone Else’s

Don’t drop private info — yours or others’. No sharing location, email, financial details, or anything that crosses personal boundaries. It’s uncomfortable and potentially unsafe.

We take confidentiality seriously too. Review these whenever you need:

Clear policy, less guessing. That’s how we operate.

Want to Collaborate? Let’s Talk

Our best contributors are almost always the ones who started with a question no one else was asking. If you want to work with us — as an analyst, commentator, or setup tinkerer — your first step is here: Innovators Join.

You can also explore featured work via the Site Showcase, where standout submissions (and standout setups) get full attention.

Or, if you’re looking to work with LCF from an editorial or branding lens, Today Connect is where new partnerships start.

About the Founder

Havros Dornhaven launched LCF Gamevent with more than just strategy in mind. His experience in competitive game theory, combined with a belief that honest insights cut through noise, anchors this entire project.

His vision: a digital space where input is respected because output improves because of it. If that resonates, you can read more at Driven With Purpose.

Getting In Touch

We actually read the messages people send — mostly because feedback makes this whole engine better. If you have questions about moderation, want to clarify something in these guidelines, or are unsure whether something’s okay to post — reach out:

You’ll usually hear back within 24 business hours — faster if it’s urgent.

Final Word

This isn’t a free-for-all — and that’s why it works. Communities like ours thrive when they’re held to the same level of thought, integrity, and resilience that we expect inside tournament brackets and long-form simulations. If you join us in protecting that culture, you keep LCF Gamevent sharp, clean, and worth reading.

Thanks for helping us build something smarter — one post, one insight, one respectful disagreement at a time.
