+There are basic rules of conduct that should be followed at all times by everyone participating in the discussions. While this is generally a relaxed environment, please remember the following:
 
 - Do not insult, harass, or demean anyone.
-- Do not intentionally multi-post an issue.
+- Do not intentionally post the same issue multiple times.
 - Do not use ALL CAPS when creating an issue report.
-- Do not repeatedly update an open issue remarking that the issue persists.
+- Do not repeatedly update an open issue just to say the problem still persists.

Also, if your issue is not resolved immediately, that does not mean a resolution is not being researched or tested. Patience is always appreciated.

-Reporting Issues
-----------------
+## Reporting Issues
 
-If you encounter a bug while using Source 1 games, first search the [issue list](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues) to see if it has already been reported. Include closed issues in your search.

 If it has not been reported, create a new issue with at least the following information:
 
-- which game you're reporting the bug on (TF2, CS:S, all)
-- a short, descriptive title;
-- a detailed description of the issue, including any output from the command line;
-- steps for reproducing the issue; and
-- your [system information](#system-information).

-Known Video Driver/Card issues:

-### NVIDIA
+## Known Video Driver / Card Issues
 
-6xxx and 7xxx hardware have been EOL'd. The code specific to these GPUs isn't even compiled into drivers anymore.
+### NVIDIA
 
-6xxx and 7xxx GPUs are incapable of performing sRGB functionality needed by Source Engine titles when being driven by OpenGL. (The sRGB behavior as specified in OpenGL is slightly different than the behavior that was actually unspecified in D3D9, which is why this works in D3D9 but not in OpenGL).
+NVIDIA 6xxx and 7xxx series GPUs have reached end-of-life (EOL).  
+Driver support for these GPUs has been discontinued and the relevant code is no longer compiled.
 
+These GPUs also lack proper sRGB functionality required by Source Engine titles when using OpenGL.  
+(Source uses slightly different sRGB behavior under OpenGL compared to the undefined behavior under Direct3D 9, which is why this may work under D3D9 but not OpenGL.)
