Players should only be challenging each other in the game, not in chat. Your intention, the context, and the impact your words and actions have on other players all matter;   
  • Ways to play respectfully: 
    • Communicate in a way that builds, rather than disrupts the community; we want to make a  community that is comfortable coming back, rather than drive others away
    • Use respectful language, even when in competition
    • Focus on the impact of words on others, not just your intention behind them
    • Learn from what bothers others, not just what you would be bothered by
  • Examples of disrespectful behavior:
    • Bullying or harassing another player
    • Repeatedly contacting someone who does not want to communicate
    • Using hate speech or slurs anywhere in the game
      • For example, racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ+, religious intolerance, ableism (or targeting based on medical conditions), extreme political views, advocacy of hate organizations, and xenophobic statements
    • Using inappropriate or offensive names
    • Abusing, threatening, or encouraging for someone to hurt themselves or others
    • Sending inappropriate (e.g. violent, sexually explicit) pictures or communications in-game
