BattleBit: Remastered Community Guidelines

BattleBit: Remastered is an online multiplayer game where the
community is a central part of the experience. Its Community
Guidelines establish what behavior is and is not permitted
throughout the game.

The BattleBit Community Guidelines apply throughout the game,
including:

• Official game services.
• Community servers.
• Text chat.
• Voice chat.
• Clans.
• Player accounts.

Violations may result in warnings or temporary or permanent
suspension of a player's BattleBit account.

Players are responsible for violations committed through their
accounts.

Do Not Harass Others

Harassment is the intentional and repeated targeting of another
person or group with malicious intent.

Playful trash talk may be acceptable, but behavior that crosses
into deliberate harassment is prohibited.

Harassment can include threats of real-world violence, malicious
impersonation, and behavior intentionally designed to have a
disproportionately negative effect on another player's experience.

Examples

• Stream sniping a content creator.
• Repeatedly finding and killing a particular player with no legitimate gameplay or sportsmanship purpose.
• Repeatedly dismantling player-built structures with malicious intent.
• Deliberately obstructing another player's view for an extended period to interfere with their gameplay.

Do Not Engage in Hate Speech

Hate speech is behavior that attacks another person or group based
on a protected characteristic.

BattleBit does not permit hate speech.

Ordinary playful trash talk does not become acceptable when it
targets someone because of a protected characteristic.

Protected Characteristics

• Race
• Religion
• Ethnicity
• Color
• Caste
• Sex
• Gender
• Gender Identity
• Sexual Orientation
• Disability
• Immigration Status

Examples

• Using discriminatory slurs through voice chat, including the death microphone.
• Advocating that someone should be harmed because of a protected characteristic.
• Belittling or attacking another person because of a protected characteristic.

Do Not Distribute Harmful Content

Content intended or reasonably likely to cause serious mental
distress or physical harm is prohibited.

This includes harmful material distributed through messages,
links, profile images, or other game-supported communication
methods.

Examples

• Providing dangerous misinformation that could cause someone physical harm.
• Denying a well-documented genocide.
• Sending malicious links, malware, or intentionally disturbing surprise content.
• Using sexually explicit profile imagery.

Do Not Engage in Malicious or Illegal Activities

Malicious or illegal activity is prohibited throughout BattleBit.

This includes conduct such as:

• Doxxing or distributing another person's private information.
• Conducting or threatening denial-of-service attacks.
• Distributing child sexual abuse material.
• Soliciting sexual content from anyone under the age of 18.
• Engaging in sexual conduct with anyone under the age of 18.
• Other indications of these activities.

Examples

• Posting someone's residential address.
• Posting another person's external IP address.
• Offering illegal substances.
• Distributing links containing illegal sexual-abuse material.
• Sending sexual content to a minor.
• Engaging a minor in discussions involving sexual experiences or advice.
• Initiating or threatening a denial-of-service attack against a server or another person.

Keep It Appropriate

BattleBit is not considered an appropriate environment for certain
sensitive or explicit discussions.

Conversations centered around the following subjects are not
permitted:

• Political ideology.
• Political parties or political figures.
• Religious promotion.
• Sensitive world events.
• Ongoing wars or similar geopolitical conflicts.
• Explicit adult topics.
• Graphic sexual discussion.

Examples

• Promoting a political party or political figure.
• Promoting a particular religion.
• Starting discussions or arguments about an ongoing war.
• Explicitly describing sexual experiences.
• Graphic discussion of sexual anatomy.

Keep It Clean

BattleBit aims to maintain a usable and coherent communication
environment.

Players should not flood text chat with excessive messages or
repeatedly use game chat for advertising.

Voice chat may be used for entertainment as well as useful
communication. Music and soundboards may be acceptable when they
do not violate another Community Guideline or become excessively
disruptive.

Examples of Prohibited Behavior

• Repeatedly sending the same message until it fills the chat.
• Rapidly sending meaningless or random messages.
• Repeatedly advertising social-media accounts, handles, or links.
• Playing music or soundboards containing prohibited hate speech.
• Using an excessively loud microphone in a manner that disrupts other players.

Respect the Game

Players are expected to respect both other players and the intended
mechanics of BattleBit.

Abusing gameplay mechanics to unfairly obtain excessive experience,
statistics, weapon progression, skins, or other rewards is
prohibited.

Players may also not manipulate or alter the intended gameplay
experience to obtain an unfair advantage.

Boosting & Progression Abuse

Players may not intentionally manipulate gameplay to artificially
increase progression or statistics.

An example would be arranging for other players to repeatedly allow
themselves to be killed and revived solely to generate experience,
kills, or weapon progression.

Exploits

Players may not knowingly abuse bugs or unintended mechanics to
obtain an unfair gameplay advantage.

Examples include:

• Exploiting a bug that makes the player invulnerable.
• Using an exploit to capture objectives or kill opponents while invulnerable.
• Entering structures or areas through unintended methods and attacking players through objects that are intended to block those attacks.

Cheating

Software, hardware, or other tools that alter the intended game
experience to provide an unfair advantage are prohibited.

Examples include:

• Software that automatically aims at other players.
• Software that enables unintended movement or flight.
• Tools that extract player-location information from game memory.
• Overlays that reveal players through walls or other objects when that information is not normally available.

Suspension & Ban Evasion

Respecting BattleBit's enforcement decisions is also part of
respecting the game.

Players may not use another account to bypass an active suspension
or other account restriction.

Purchasing or using another copy of the game specifically to
continue playing while another account is suspended is considered
suspension evasion.

How These Guidelines Apply on [RS] Servers

Players using an [RS] Rogue Soldiers Clan BattleBit:
Remastered server are expected to comply with both:

1. The BattleBit: Remastered Community Guidelines.
2. The applicable [RS] game-server rules and community standards.

The BattleBit guidelines establish the game's overall behavioral
requirements. [RS] server rules may establish additional standards
necessary to manage our individual servers, maintain match quality,
and protect the community.

Your Account Is Your Responsibility

BattleBit players are responsible for activity occurring through
their accounts.

Players should protect their account credentials and should not
allow another person to use their account in a manner that could
violate the Community Guidelines.

Community Guideline Summary

Play Fair & Respect the Community

BattleBit's Community Guidelines are intended to protect the
multiplayer environment while still allowing players to communicate,
compete, joke around, and enjoy the game.

On [RS] servers, the expectation is straightforward:

Follow BattleBit's Community Guidelines, follow [RS] server
rules, play fairly, and don't deliberately make the experience
worse for everyone else.
