Server Development Section Guidelines (Updated 7/10/2015)

Java Server Development​

This section is moderated under the RaGEZONE Forum Rules, as well as rules designated for the MapleStory Private Server Section. Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning, infraction, and/or ban depending on the severity of the issue at hand. These rules are effective as of Monday, October 18, 2010.

[Discussion] tags or prefixes are not needed, nor should be used, as this is the Discussion section.

Creating a thread

• Always use the corresponding programming-language tag when creating a thread. In addition add a use a clear thread name to indicate whether it's a source, add-on or anything else. If you think we need more tags, just contact one of the moderators.
• Any tool related to server development must be posted in the Tools section. This section is NOT for client-related tools/releases.
• Do not recreate a thread. Use the Search function beforehand to see if the topic you wish to discuss has already been posted. You may recreate a thread if the previous thread is older than 6 months.
• Do not bump an old thread unless you can effectively contribute to the topic at hand. This includes posting a fix to a common error, correcting a mistake the TS (Topic Starter) made, sharing an improved way of doing something, or sharing why something might be flawed with the OP (Original Post).
• Do not post a thread that has nothing to do with MapleStory. This includes threads about specific people or servers.
• Do not post a thread containing advertisements of any kind. The proper place to post these is in MapleStory Servers.
• Do not post a thread for recruiting members. The proper place to post these is in Team Recruitment
• Service threads are no longer allowed. Please feel free to post a guide on how to do what you were planning to do, so that other members have the opportunity to learn. You can however, request the service of other members in the help section with the proper tags.
• Do not create threads asking if a DMCA, email or letter you received is real or fake. These threads have no place on RaGEZONE. The proper action to take is to contact Lloyd Korn, or any similar lawyer of Nexon and ask them. If it is fake, they will not tell you it's real.
• General programming-language specific questions are allowed to be posted here but any private server errors or related problems must be posted in the Server Development Help section

Posting in threads

• Do not troll
• Do not spam, insult or flame other members. There is a difference between proving a point and flaming someone.
• Do not make a post with only images, smileys, and/or videos.
• Do not quote someone and respond with "This", "Win", "Fail", or anything similar. Try to put some thought into your post.
• Do not make a post only to say "Thanks". There is a
  
  button for a reason. You can find it on the bottom right when you place your cursor on a post.
• Do not bump an old thread (1+ month since last post) if you do not contribute to that thread. If you need help and the topic is old, post a thread in the help section with a link to the old topic.
• Do not mini-Mod. If you have an issue with a post/thread, use the
  
  (Report) function. It is not your job to tell a Moderator how to do theirs.

This section is for Server Development Source code related discussion, such as server/code optimization.
