Rules
We use the same rules that OWI use for Squad. In addition, each tournament uses their own unique rules and have their own punishment for breaches.
Squad Rules:
Squad Code Of Conduct
The following code of conduct represents the behaviour we both encourage and expect from members of the SQUAD Esports community. These rules should be adhered to both in-game and when discussing the game on forums. In all cases, it is the spirit of the rule that is more important than the letter. Our intention when enforcing the code of conduct is to protect the best interests of the SQUAD Esports community and playing environment.
Inappropriate Content
SQUAD communication channels are intended to be used by mature adults, to that end posts containing excessive profanity, obscenity, insults, personal attacks, accusations or abusive language will be edited or removed and can result in disciplinary action being taken.
Using asterisks (*) or other characters to get around the language filter is still considered profanity, as is using abbreviations that stand for profanity. Post titles and images are subject to the same restrictions as post content.
Racist, misogynistic, sexist and ableist language is strictly prohibited. Harassment, abuse and bullying will also not be tolerated. Any of this activity, including racial, religious or sexual slurs may result in immediate banning in both community spaces and within the game itself. We will not be tolerating any level of toxicity in our community spaces or within the game.
Squad Esports is a competitive environment and will allow good natured “trash talking” amongst teams and players, as long as it does not breach one of the previously mentioned protected characteristics.
Disciplinary Procedures
Any user in breach of these rules may find themselves subject to disciplinary action. In many cases breaches of rules are due to a lack of familiarity with the rules or of an inconsequential nature, in which case a warning will be issued. More serious breaches, or users who break rules may be given a temporary or permanent ban from the forum or game.
In these cases, a full explanation of why a user was banned will be given. If the ban is a temporary one users are strongly advised to abide by the decision as returning under a new account to avoid a temporary ban will result in it being upgraded to permanent.
Evading a ban/suspension or assisting another player currently under a ban/suspension is grounds for disciplinary measures.
If you wish to appeal a ban you may email: contact@squad-esports.com
The following actions are possible;
- Warning
- Suspended
- Receive ticket penalties for your team
- Disqualification
- Banned
- Any other penalty we see fit.
Squad Esports reserves the right to remove any user from all communication channels or the game at any time without notice.
