Community Rules
Play hard. Keep it clean.
Trash talk is part of the room. Harassment, hate speech, cheating, and spam are not. The rules below are short on purpose: keep official servers competitive, readable, and safe to return to.
Open Discord
Not allowed
No slurs or targeted harassment
Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, ableist, and similar language can lead to moderation. Same for doxxing, stalking, and self-harm encouragement across chat, names, banners, custom maps, and clip uploads.
No cheats or exploits
No aimbots, no scripts, no duplication tricks, no abusing known bugs. Find a bug that gives an edge? Report it. Don't farm it.
No impersonation
Don't pretend to be staff or another player. Don't trick people into shady servers, file downloads, or moving DMs to dodge moderation.
No griefing or spam
Persistent griefing, chat spam, intentional team disruption, and lobby-hopping to keep doing it all earn moderation. Repeated disruptions still count even when they are framed as jokes.
Custom content has limits
Maps, names, banners, and patches can't be hateful, sexually explicit, or designed to dodge moderation. Repeat offenders lose authoring access.
Use reports honestly
Report real issues. Don't mass-report someone who beat you. False reports are themselves a violation.
How moderation actually works
In-match
Type /report @player reason in chat. Use client-side mute for one-off noise, and reports for issues moderators should review. Reports land with round context attached.
Pattern, not one round
Identity is tied to your account, so moderators look at repeat behavior across sessions. One bad round usually is not the issue; repeated behavior across rounds is what escalates.
What can happen
Warning. Chat or voice mute. Content removal. Temporary suspension. Permanent ban for serious or repeated violations. Punishment scales with behavior, not with who reported you.
Appeals
Wrong call? Post in the Discord with context. Appeals get reviewed. Bad-faith spam in the appeal channel is itself moderated.
One sentence
Keep chat, names, banners, patches, and custom maps match-safe. If it targets a person or group instead of the round, it probably does not belong on an official server.
