WOWEE Code of Conduct

WOWEE (World Of Warcraft Engine Experiment) is an engine development and research project. We are building infrastructure, not exploits.

To keep this community productive, welcoming, and legally sound, we ask all members to follow these guidelines.

1. Be Respectful

Treat everyone with respect.
No harassment, discrimination, or personal attacks.
Debate ideas — not people.
Technical disagreement is expected. Toxic behavior is not.

2. Stay On Topic

This server focuses on:

Engine architecture
Rendering systems
Networking & protocol research
Asset format analysis
Performance engineering
Multi-expansion compatibility

This is NOT a private server support hub. This is NOT a place to distribute proprietary content.

3. No Piracy or Illegal Distribution

Absolutely prohibited:

Sharing Blizzard client files
Sharing MPQs or CASC archives
Distributing proprietary assets
Linking to pirated materials

Discussion of formats and reverse engineering concepts is allowed. Distribution of copyrighted assets is not.

4. No Exploit Development

WOWEE is not:

A cheat client
A bot framework
A bypass toolkit
A Warden circumvention service

We are building a clean-room engine.

Discussion of protocol behavior and implementation details is allowed. Discussion of active exploitation or abuse is not.

5. Technical Standards

We value:

Evidence-based discussion
Logs over speculation
Reproducible testing
Clear documentation

If you're reporting a bug:

Include logs
Include expansion/version
Include reproduction steps

6. Collaboration Principles

Credit contributors.
Do not claim work that isn’t yours.
If you fork, respect licensing terms.
Keep discussions constructive and solution-focused.

7. Enforcement

Moderators may:

Remove messages
Issue warnings
Mute users
Ban repeat offenders

We prefer conversation over punishment — but we will protect the integrity of the project.

8. The Goal

WOWEE exists to:

• Modernize a legacy engine architecture
• Preserve compatibility across expansions
• Build a stable, high-performance client
• Create a long-term alternative engine ecosystem

If that excites you — welcome.

If you're here for shortcuts, exploits, or drama — this is not the place.

Build with integrity.
