Content Rules
Publishing standards for resources, files, listings, reviews, comments, and marketplace communication.
Allowed marketplace content
ARK Store is intended for legitimate game-server and creator resources, including plugins, scripts, builds, configurations, packs, server tools, integrations, and documentation that help owners build better communities.
Listings should clearly describe what the resource does, which game/platform it supports, which versions are compatible, what dependencies are required, and what buyers receive after purchase or download.
Prohibited content
Do not publish malware, token stealers, credential harvesters, backdoors, destructive server tools, stolen work, leaked paid resources, fake resources, spam listings, deceptive redirects, or files that hide their real behavior from buyers.
Do not use reviews, comments, messages, or profile fields for harassment, threats, doxxing, impersonation, payment scams, review manipulation, or misleading support claims.
Resource quality
Creators should keep release notes, version files, compatibility claims, setup instructions, and support paths clear enough for buyers to make informed decisions. A resource does not need to be complex, but it must be honest and useful.
Screenshots, videos, benchmarks, claims, and comparisons should represent real behavior. Do not claim support for a game version, runtime, or platform that has not been reasonably tested.
Moderation
ARK Store may review listings, files, comments, reviews, messages, accounts, and payout requests. Moderation can include warnings, visibility changes, file disabling, listing removal, license restrictions, or account limits depending on the issue.
Continue with context
Use resource pages, version history, creator profiles, compatibility metadata, and support conversations before putting a marketplace resource into production.
