Community Rules

1. Respect Other Players

Every player deserves a safe and enjoyable environment. Healthy competition and banter are natural, but harassment and abuse cross the line:

• No Hate Speech or Discrimination: Any attacks, slurs, or degradation based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability are strictly forbidden.
• No Harassment or Bullying: Do not target, stalk, intimidate, or persistently demean other players across matches, clans, or direct messages.
• No Threats of Violence: Threats of violence against anyone in real life are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate permanent suspension and notification of relevant authorities where appropriate.

2. Serious Safety Violations

The following serious violations may result in immediate permanent account suspension and, where required or appropriate, reporting to competent law enforcement authorities or child-safety organizations:

• Child Exploitation & Predatory Behavior: Any grooming, sexualization, or predatory exploitation involving minors may result in immediate permanent suspension and may be reported to appropriate authorities or child-safety organizations where required or appropriate.
• Doxxing: Sharing, distributing, or threatening to expose another person’s non-public, private, or sensitive personal information (such as private physical home address, private phone number, non-public email, financial details, or government identification) without authorization.
• Self-Harm Encouragement: Encouraging, glorifying, or instructing anyone to engage in suicide or self-harm is strictly prohibited.

3. Play Fair — No Cheating or Exploiting

Playce relies on authentic mechanical skill, map awareness, and teamwork. Cheating ruins the game for everyone:

• No Third-Party Cheats or Injections: Using modified APKs/IPAs, memory injectors, speed hacks, aimbots, wallhacks, radar hacks, automated bots, or macros to manipulate gameplay is prohibited.
• No Exploit Abuse: If you discover a bug, collision glitch, or economy vulnerability, do not abuse it or share instructions with others. Report it immediately to support@88studios.net.
• No Match-Fixing or Wintrading: Intentionally throwing matches, griefing teammates, colluding with opponents (cross-teaming in solo queues), or wintrading to boost ranks will result in rank resets and matchmaking suspensions.

4. Voice & Chat Etiquette

Voice chat in Playce is routed transiently in real time to facilitate squad coordination. Use it responsibly:

• No Audio Griefing: Do not scream, play distorted high-volume audio (“mic ear-rape”), or spam soundboards down the microphone.
• No Chat Spam: Do not flood game chat with repetitive messages, ASCII art, or automated spam scripts.
• No Spam or Commercial Promotion: Do not flood or abuse chat or clan descriptions with commercial advertisements, promotional spam, external community recruitment spam, referral links, or scams. (Normal, non-promotional discussion of other games is permitted.)

5. Appropriate User-Generated Content (UGC)

Players can customize their identity through uploaded profile pictures, usernames, clan tags, and clan descriptions:

• Safe for Ages 13+: Profile pictures and clan descriptions must not contain nudity, sexually suggestive imagery, gore, drug paraphernalia, or hate symbols.
• Curated In-Game Skins: Playce character skins and cosmetics are selected exclusively from curated official Playce assets; players cannot inject arbitrary custom character skins.
• Offensive Names: Usernames or clan names that bypass filters using leetspeak, punctuation, or phonetic spellings of slurs will be renamed or disbanded without refund.

6. Security, Real-Money Trading & Impersonation

Protect your account and protect other players:

• No Account Selling or Sharing: Your Playce account is linked to your personal Apple or Google sign-in. Selling, trading, or sharing accounts violates our rules and leaves you vulnerable to scams.
• No Real-Money Trading (RMT): Plax and virtual cosmetics have no real-world monetary value and cannot be transferred, sold, or cashed out. Attempting to sell items for real currency outside official app stores is prohibited.
• No Impersonation: Do not pretend to be an 88 STUDIOS developer, game administrator, moderator, or another player. Official staff members will never ask you for your account passwords, OTP codes, or financial information.

7. Enforcement Actions & Penalties

We enforce these Community Rules through automated safety filters, server-side anti-cheat detections, and staff moderation reviews. Enforcement decisions are discretionary, context-dependent, and tailored to the circumstances of each case. We do not guarantee that every infraction receives an identical penalty, nor does automated detection alone imply irreversible punishment without appropriate review or opportunity for appeal:
