Be Kind, Respect all users. Banter is okay, but keep it friendly. Avoid crossing the line.

Shit talking is allowed but keep it in game related, do not make any personal insults as well as if a player tells you that they would not like to banter, we ask that you drop it as if they ask 3 times (within 15 minutes) we will accept a ticket for harassment. If it is in discord use the block feature (including dm's). Please be aware that we take context into account.
