Submission Guidelines

These guidelines apply to all categories of submissions, ensuring that all content on Codefling meets our quality and usability standards. By submitting your work to Codefling, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

Be Original and Authentic

All submissions must be your original work or properly licensed. Submissions generated entirely by AI are not allowed. However, AI-assisted content is welcome if it enhances your creative process, provided that:

• You retain authorship and responsibility for the content.
• The extent of AI usage is disclosed in the submission details.

Plagiarized, unauthorized, or misrepresented content will be rejected and may result in account suspension.

Follow Licensing and Fork Policies

You are responsible for setting the appropriate license for your content. Ensure your licensing prevents unauthorized redistribution or modification. For forked content:

• Comply with the original author’s licensing terms.
• Include significant improvements or differences from the original.
• Avoid using any assets from the original submission unless explicitly permitted.

Maintain Quality and Functionality

To uphold the marketplace’s standards, ensure your submissions are functional, error-free, and well-documented:

• For maps and prefabs, check for issues like overlapping geometry, flickering, missing assets, or improper alpha masks. Include terrain modifiers (height, splat, topology, biome) for non-standalone prefabs where applicable.
• For plugins, scripts, and tools, your code must be free of critical errors and tested in a live or simulated environment. Avoid excessive performance overhead, and use efficient, modern coding practices.
• Provide clear documentation and setup instructions so users can install and configure your submission with minimal confusion.
• Submissions must remain compatible with the latest versions of the software they’re intended for. Content that is no longer maintained or fails to meet current standards may be suspended or removed.

Ultimately, if you're sharing something meant for others to use, take the time to polish it. Submissions that feel rushed, broken, or poorly supported won’t be accepted.

Provide Clear and Informative Descriptions

Help users understand your content by including:

• A concise summary in the first paragraph (raw text, no formatting).
• A detailed explanation of the purpose and functionality of your submission.
• A note if your submission is a standalone prefab or includes specific requirements.

Respect Platform Standards

Codefling reserves the right to:

• Reject submissions that fail to meet these guidelines.
• Remove content that is reported as broken, misrepresented, or non-functional.
• Suspend access to inactive submissions without updates or support.
   

No DRM or Third-Party Authentication

Submissions must not include any form of Digital Rights Management (DRM) that requires third-party authentication, external licenses, or verification services. We do not allow such systems because they depend on the author’s ability to maintain uptime for external services, and sunsetting such systems creates significant issues for users. All content must be fully functional without requiring external servers or services to authenticate or validate usage.

Support Your Users

As the author, you are solely responsible for providing support and handling refund inquiries. Maintaining engagement and updates ensures the long-term success of your submission.
 

Report Issues

If you notice violations or encounter issues with submissions, report them to our support team at https://codefling.com/help.
 

Consequences for Non-Compliance

Violations of these guidelines may result in:

• Rejection of your submission.
• Removal of existing content.
• Account suspension or termination in cases of repeated or severe infractions.
   

We reserve the right to modify these guidelines at any time. Your continued use of Codefling signifies your acceptance of the latest policies. Thank you for contributing to a vibrant and innovative community!
