Code of conduct

The short version

Be a good opponent and a good neighbour. Play fair. Cards are for collecting, never for money. Keep each other safe, especially younger members. If something is wrong, press Ask staff.

Where it applies

In the Fate League Discord, in every event run with FateLeague, on fateleague.com, and in direct messages between members when they are about Fate League (for example, arranging a match with your opponent).

Be decent

No harassment, threats, slurs, hate, or personal attacks, in channels, matches or messages.

Disagree with the result, not the person. Use Flag this result or a ticket, not a public argument.

No spam, no flooding, no advertising other servers or products outside the places that allow it.

Keep posts in the right room. Packs are ripped in #rip-packs; match requests go in #find-a-match.

Play fair

Enter each event with one account. Do not use a second account to enter, to get around a bar, or to trade with yourself.

Report results honestly. Reporting a result you know is wrong, or claiming a no-show for an opponent who was there, is cheating.

No collusion, no bribes, no deliberate disconnects, no using bugs to win. If you find a bug, tell staff.

Be on time. Check in when you will play; drop out if you cannot, so someone on the waitlist gets your seat.

Decklists are locked at the deck lock. Play the decks you submitted.

Cards and packs

Nothing is ever sold, and cards have no value.

Never sell cards or packs, and never offer, ask for or pay money, in-game items, crypto, NFTs or anything of value for them. This includes offers to do it somewhere else. It means a ban (house rule 2).

Trading, when it arrives, is card for card only.

Show off your pulls; do not mock anyone else’s.

Keep each other safe

Members can be 13. Treat everyone as if they might be.

Never ask anyone for personal details: real name, age, address, school, photos or contact details outside Discord.

Never share anyone else’s personal details, screenshots of private messages, or images of them.

Do not move a conversation with a younger member into private messages. Arrange matches in the event channel or by the bot’s match screen.

No sexual content, anywhere. Anything sexual involving a minor is removed at once, the account is banned and reported to Discord and, where the law requires, to the authorities.

No scams, phishing links, fake giveaways or impersonating staff or developers. Staff will never ask for your password or a code.

Game developers and partners

Developers are welcome as players and hosts. When you play, you play out of competition: no prizes and no ranking points, and the bot marks you so.

Say who you are: the team role shows it; do not hide it.

Do not use inside knowledge of unreleased cards or changes to gain an edge.

Do not pressure players about results, reviews or purchases.

Your game’s news goes in your game’s announcements and your team room; ping only your game’s role.

Staff

Staff follow this code too, and more: act only through the bot and console (so every action is logged), never act on a match you play in, give the reason for every action, keep what you see in tickets private, and talk to members in tickets or public channels, never in private messages.

Reporting

Press Ask staff and choose Report a member. The member you report is never added to the ticket or told who reported them. For anything urgent during an event, use Flag this result or Ask staff from the event screen.

If you cannot reach the Discord, write to [SUPPORT EMAIL].

What happens

Staff use the lightest step that fixes the problem, and move up when it happens again.

1. A reminder: a word in the moment.

2. A warning: a recorded warning, in a ticket with you.

3. A timeout or removal: a Discord timeout of up to 7 days, removal from the current event (a drop or a disqualification under the competition rules), or both.

4. A bar: no event registration for 30 days, then 90, in every server of the community, and the Collection paused where cards were involved. Only the community’s owners, and the people they name, can bar someone.

5. A ban: removal from the server and from FateLeague.

Some things skip straight to a ban: selling or buying cards for value, sexual content involving a minor, sharing someone’s personal details, credible threats, scams and phishing, impersonating staff or a developer, and using another account to get around a bar.

Appeals

Every step from a warning up can be appealed once. Open a ticket (topic Something else) within 14 days, or write to [SUPPORT EMAIL] if you are no longer in the server.

A staff member who did not take the decision reviews it within 7 days; Tek or Nema decides appeals against bars and bans. You get the answer and the reason in writing. A ban can be appealed again after 6 months.
