Code of conduct
A format is people before it is cards. These are the rules for the people, and they bind organizers and moderators hardest, because they hold the power.
At events and in community spaces
- No harassment, hate speech, slurs, or targeted abuse, in person or online. One warning at most; severity can skip the warning.
- Play honestly. Deliberate cheating, marked cards, or misrepresenting rules to an opponent means removal from the event and the results page says why.
- Judges and organizers announce rulings with reasons. "Because I said so" is not a ruling.
- Spectators and streamers respect player consent. Nobody's face or decklist goes online without a yes.
- Alcohol, venue rules, and local law are the venue's call and are not overridden by anything here.
In voting
- One person, one account. Ballot stuffing, bought votes, or coordinated sockpuppeting gets every involved account voided from the tally, and the voiding is logged publicly.
- Campaigning is fine. Lobby loudly for your cards. Brigading with fake accounts is not campaigning.
Enforcement
- Reports go through the contact page and get a human reply.
- Enforcement actions are recorded in the change log with names withheld where appropriate, but the action itself is always public.
- Appeals exist. Send them through the same contact page within 30 days.
Shorter version: be someone people want a second game against.
