Rules & Guidelines for Beta-Testers

    • Official Post

    These rules solely apply to all Beta-Testers in the developement team.


    - As member of the developement team you do NOT have any special rights in regard of requesting features. Of course you’re free to use your “connections” to suggest features to coders directly, but don’t insist on getting them implemented just “because you’re a part of the team”.
    - All bug reports and discussions for those go into the Bugreports section!
    - Double-check the section before posting a "new bug", eventually it was already brought up.
    - Please always ensure your bug report is useful. This isn't MCF, here you are exspected to give useful and detailed bugreports instead of "DOESNT WORK! HÄÄÄÄLLLPPPP"
    - A bug report should consist of as much information as possible: Version used, SSP/SMP, What you were doing, what was meant to happen, what happened.
    - For crashes, ALWAYS include an errorlog. If you don't know how to retrieve an errorlog, please contact an admin to get your Beta-Tester status revoked, you're wrong here.
    - You're free to drop speculations about how the bug possibly is created. If you got access to the Source Code via decompilation means and actually found the bugged code, feel free to bring it up, WITHOUT posting the actual code. (F.e. "The error is in line xyz of file abc, you forgot a return true there.") Only do this if you actually got a clue of what you're doing though.
    - Don't rant about bugs in publicity outside of this section. If i catch someone spreading rumors about how buggy IC² is...
    - Feel free to unconfirm bugs by other Beta-Testers, but please ensure you truly followed the steps they went through as well, while being incapable of reproducing the bug.
