Accepting a challenge is a commitment. If you cannot make it, call the match off rather than leaving the other team waiting.
Not connecting to a match you were in the lineup for is recorded against you with a black mark.
No ringers, do not swap somebody in who is not on your roster, and no playing on another person's account.
Your Steam account is linked to one Discord account. Alternate accounts used to get around a suspension or to play for a second team will result in a ban for both the alt and the main account.
!forfeit or !ff ends the match and records a
loss. Do not use it to end a match your team is simply losing without
your team agreeing to it.
If a match is not going ahead, call it off. Leaving a lobby open holds both teams, which is not ideal.
Anything said in voice or text during a match is recorded. Behave accordingly.
Allow players to handle their own target. Do not reflect a rocket that is tracking another player unless you are intentionally walling, meaning standing in a recognised defensive stack.
Do not manoeuvre, deflect, or manipulate the rocket's path to kill, trap, or disadvantage teammates. Maintain adequate spacing.
Intentionally slowing a round down is prohibited. This includes excessive orbiting to stall speed, and neutralising rockets on purpose via friendly fire.
Crowding the opposing line so the rocket explodes against a blocked path is strictly prohibited.
Taking advantage of map bugs, rocket collision anomalies, unreachable geometry, or unintended engine behaviour for an unfair advantage is not allowed.
Treat all players with respect. Excessive toxicity, targeted harassment, discrimination, or hate speech is prohibited in every communication channel.
Slurs, insults and sexual remarks in game chat are logged automatically.
Keep text and voice readable and audible. Do not flood chat, scream into microphones, play soundboards or music over voice, or misuse callouts.
Sprays, Conscientious Objectors, avatars, and display names on this site and in game. Anything NSFW, sexually suggestive, gory, or discriminatory will result in an immediate ban.
Injected cheats, auto-reflect scripts, macros, or modified game files that give an unfair mechanical advantage result in a permanent ban. Advertising or distributing will be treated the same way.
A list of permitted modifications, and where you can find them:
ModificationsDo not impersonate staff, disrupt moderation, or try to work around staff oversight.
Harassment, targeted toxicity, flame wars, and personal attacks are not tolerated.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or targeted discrimination results in an immediate and unappealable ban.
Explicit, suggestive, gory, or adult media is prohibited in every channel, and in avatars, banners and status messages.
Do not flood channels, mass mention members or roles, or post unauthorised self-promotion. Suspicious links, phishing, and scam promotions result in an instant permanent ban.
Staff have final say on community standards. If a moderator asks you to stop or change the subject, do it.
Everyone must follow Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Most things start with a word from an admin.
Black marks are recorded for things like not turning up to a match you agreed to play. Three outstanding means an admin will want to talk to you before you can play again, and you cannot be added to a match lineup until they are cleared.
Suspensions stop you using the site and end any match you are in. That match will not count as a win for either team.
Bans are for cheating, hate speech, NSFW content, and scams. Not to mention breaking any of the above rules in an extreme manner.
Staff have discretion, and a rule not being written down here does not mean somebody can do it. Use your common sense and have respect for your fellow dodgeballers.
