Community Guidelines – Build Safe Environments
Welcome to The Haketech — your digital HQ for all things gaming, from deep dives into core mechanics to expert modding how-tos. Whether you’re a strategy wizard, a modder on the rise, or just gearing up for greatness, this community was made with you in mind. And just like any heroic party or epic raid, great journeys start stronger when everyone feels safe, respected, and included.
That’s why we created these Community Guidelines. Building a safe environment isn’t just a rule—it’s a collective power-up. This page is our playbook for keeping things positive, constructive, and grounded in mutual respect. Let’s make sure every player here, regardless of their loadout or experience level, feels like they’ve just walked into their ideal co-op session.
Why We’re Here
The Haketech started with a simple mission: elevate the art and skill behind gaming. Founded by Kelvor Thryndell, a strategist and lifelong gamer, our universe grew from walkthroughs and equipment breakdowns to a full-blown ecosystem of guides, gear theory, and thoughtful meta analysis. That level of depth deserves a community that’s as sharp as it is kind—where everyone can exchange insights without worrying about hostilities or cheap shots.
The Values That Equip Us
Just like every optimized loadout depends on synergy, our community thrives on a few core values that keep us strong and steady. These aren’t just button prompts — they’re our fundamentals:
- Respect: Every player deserves acknowledgment and agency. Whether they’re a lore-lover or a leaderboard climber, listen before blasting your opinion.
- Authenticity: Share honestly, speak from experience, and give credit where credit’s due. This isn’t a competition to be right — it’s a quest to get better together.
- Curiosity: Ask questions. Experiment. Challenge assumptions — not people. We grow stronger when we explore new terrain.
- Inclusiveness: Gaming cuts across boundaries and backgrounds. Everyone’s voice brings something valuable to the mix.
- Support: We’re not just here to flex our builds — we’re here to lift each other up. Every guide, every comment, every correction should help someone level up.
How We Communicate
Whether it’s a reply to a loadout discussion or a detailed response to a modding question, here’s how we keep our chat clean, cool, and constructive:
- Be precise and thoughtful: Great advice includes specifics. Name the version, mention the patch, flag if something’s platform-specific.
- Use your words for support: Share your critiques with care. If it doesn’t build up or clarify, it probably doesn’t need to be said.
- Link responsibly: Reference tools, tutorials, or sources with proper credit. We don’t do link spam here—just meaningful intel.
- Avoid the caps-lock grenade: All-caps rants or sarcasm missiles rarely help. If you’re hyped, make it helpful.
- Invite discussion: Ask questions that open doors. “Have you tried this?” > “That build sucks.”
In short: treat every thread like a co-op zone. You’re not just playing solo here—we’re all in squad mode.
Promoting a Respectful Environment
We all bring different badges, skills, and stories to the guild — and that’s where the magic lies. But respect isn’t optional. Our space thrives when players support each other’s experiences, acknowledge different playstyles, and keep toxicity on the bench.
Posting thoughtful questions, helping troubleshoot gear issues, or simply saying “nice strat!” go a long way. What doesn’t help? Negging someone’s progress, flaming beginners, or bringing internet edge-lord energy into a community that’s all about growth and uplift.
Moderation: The Quiet Buff
Like any good GM, our community moderators are here to maintain vibe, flow, and fair play. They’re not here to dominate the chat—they’re here to protect your ability to share openly and creatively. That means when something crosses a line—be it hate speech, harassment, or dangerous misinformation—the post may get removed or flagged. Think of it as a server patch to maintain balance, not a crackdown to restrict freedom.
If you see something that feels off or unsafe, please write to us at [email protected]. Reporting isn’t snitching—it’s key gameplay.
Give Credit – Always
Borrowed a build idea? Quoted a mechanic analysis? Found success with someone else’s guide? Always, always credit them. Nabbing insight without acknowledgment isn’t clever—it’s a bug we’re not willing to tolerate. Whether it’s citing a fellow user’s tip or referencing a legendary loadout from another source, tagging builds a culture of inclusion and respect.
Tools and tactics evolve fast. Shared properly, your remix might become the next go-to strategy others rely on — and we’re here for that energy. But let’s make sure your climb doesn’t use someone else’s effort as a foothold without their name on it.
Personal Privacy and Data Protection
Great strategies get shared — personal details do not. Please don’t post email addresses, physical locations, Discord handles, or sensitive info in the open. Our team protects all user data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and incorporates relevant details from our Cookie Policy and Terms of Service.
Need help understanding how we manage your information? Reach out. We’re happy to break it down in plain terms. After all, we’d rather you focus on page-turning DPS stats than policy parsing.
You Belong Here — Wherever You’re From
What makes The Haketech work isn’t just our guides and gear rundowns—it’s you. Whether you’re in East Providence like our home base or tuning in from across the globe, we want you to feel seen, respected, and part of the team. Our physical studio at 1750 Crummit Lane, East Providence, Rhode Island 2914, United States might be where it started—but our reach and spirit live wherever ideas are shared with care.
About Our Founder
Kelvor Thryndell, founder of The Haketech, began this project with one goal: turn deep gaming knowledge into accessible mastery. For him, the best gaming communities aren’t the loudest — they’re the most generous. His unique blend of tactical thinking and community-first perspective laid the groundwork for a platform designed to elevate all players. From theorycraft to thoughtful moderation, that legacy lives here.
Much like the games we analyze, The Haketech thrives on bold experiments and smart collaboration. We keep improving — together.

Final Note: We’re In This Together
