Understanding which BAR rules apply when, how to use the widget repository, and reporting suspect behavior through replays.
The BAR code of conduct page lists official community guidelines. Widget policy specifics may exist in the repository rules before appearing on the formal code of conduct page. BAR developers have confirmed that repo rules serve as the current guidelines for widget-related policy.
This means checking both the code of conduct website and the modding repository rules when determining what is allowed. If the two sources disagree, the most restrictive interpretation should guide behavior until clarification arrives.
If someone suspects unfair play or unauthorized widget usage, the most useful evidence is a game replay. BAR developers and experienced community members analyze replays to observe behavior patterns that are difficult to describe in text.
Recording your own replay and sharing it with the moderation team accelerates investigation. Replays capture exact game state and allow frame-by-frame analysis of suspect actions.
The BAR widgets repository serves as the primary reference for widget development. New modders checking it for examples should look at widget structure, API usage patterns, and how community widgets handle common tasks like UI rendering, unit tracking, and game state inspection.
If the repository seems unclear at first, identify a specific widget that does something similar to what you want, read its source file top to bottom, and adapt the pattern to your own needs.
Knowing the rules means playing with confidence. Creed of Champions maintains a culture where fair play is the baseline and questions about rules get answered with patience rather than hostility.
