RESPECT PEOPLE.
No harassment, bullying, hate speech, targeted insults, threats, stalking or repeated unwanted contact. Do not organize pile-ons against another player.
PLAY HARD.
PLAY FAIR.
These rules apply to ARKADE forums, matchmaking, guild/clan recruitment and community interactions. Competitive disagreement is welcome. Abuse, fraud and unsafe behavior are not.
NO SCAMS.
No phishing, fake giveaways, gift-card trading, account sales, credential requests, impersonation, chargeback schemes or attempts to move users into suspicious transactions.
GAME + PLATFORM MATTER.
Post in the correct game and platform channel. EA SPORTS FC on PC belongs in EA SPORTS FC · PC, not the PS5 channel. Moderators may move, close or hide misplaced posts.
NO CHEAT DISTRIBUTION.
Discussion of competitive integrity is allowed. Do not distribute cheats, exploits, bypass tools, malicious files, account-stealing methods or instructions intended to compromise games or other players.
PROTECT PRIVATE INFO.
Do not post another person's address, phone number, private messages, identification documents, financial details, login credentials or other sensitive information without permission.
MINORS = STRICT SAFETY.
No sexual content involving minors, grooming, sexual solicitation, attempts to obtain intimate images, or unsafe requests to meet minors privately. Serious safety concerns may be escalated beyond ordinary moderation where required.
NO SPAM.
No repeated promotional posts, duplicate recruitment posts, irrelevant links, automated posting, engagement bait or flooding. Use the guild/recruitment tools for recruitment instead of spamming discussion channels.
MATCHMAKING IS FOR PLAY.
Use matchmaking to find legitimate players and teams. Do not use ARKADE matchmaking or guild tools for cash wagering, gambling, illegal services or off-platform financial deals.
REPORT. DON'T RETALIATE.
Use the Report control when something breaks the rules. Do not start a harassment campaign, publish private information or escalate the dispute yourself.
MODERATION.
Authorized moderators may hide content, lock threads, close recruitment/matchmaking posts, dismiss reports and temporarily suspend community posting. Actions are logged for accountability.
CONTEXT MATTERS.
Depending on severity and history, ARKADE may use reminders, content removal, thread locks, temporary community suspension or longer restrictions. Serious fraud, credible threats or child-safety issues are handled more strictly than ordinary channel mistakes.
Community posts are user-generated and do not represent official statements by ARKADE LOUNGE. These rules can be updated as the community grows; users may be required to accept a new version before posting again.
