Community Code of Conduct
Building a safe, inclusive, and fun community for all gamers.
Our Values
VEKA is built on respect, fairness, and passion for gaming. Every member — regardless of skill level, background, or identity — deserves to feel welcome and safe. These guidelines exist to protect that experience for everyone.
Be Respectful
Treat every member with dignity. This means:
- No hate speech, slurs, or discriminatory language targeting race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or nationality.
- No personal attacks, insults, or demeaning comments.
- Respect differing opinions — constructive disagreement is healthy; personal attacks are not.
- Be mindful of cultural differences in a global community.
No Harassment or Bullying
Harassment of any kind is strictly prohibited:
- Sustained, unwanted contact or attention towards any member.
- Doxxing — sharing another person's private information without consent.
- Stalking, threats, or intimidation in any form.
- Sexual harassment, unwelcome advances, or inappropriate content.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
Keep the community clean and relevant:
- No unsolicited advertising, referral links, or promotional content in community channels.
- No repetitive posting or flooding of messages.
- Self-promotion is allowed only in designated areas (e.g., your own blog posts, marketplace listings).
- No phishing links, malicious downloads, or scam content.
Fair Play in Events & Tournaments
Compete with honour:
- No cheating, hacking, or use of unauthorized third-party tools.
- No exploiting bugs or glitches for competitive advantage.
- No teaming in solo brackets or match manipulation.
- Respect event-specific rules announced by organisers.
- Win or lose — congratulate your opponents and accept results gracefully.
Marketplace Rules
If you list items on the VEKA Marketplace:
- Be honest and accurate in all listings — no misleading descriptions or images.
- Deliver items or services as described and within agreed timeframes.
- No listing stolen, counterfeit, or illegal items.
- Resolve disputes fairly; escalate to VEKA moderation if needed.
Reporting Violations
If you witness or experience a violation of this Code of Conduct, report it through our Discord report channel or email [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible — usernames, timestamps, screenshots, or links. All reports are reviewed confidentially.
Enforcement & Bans
Violations are handled through a progressive enforcement system:
Warning — A formal notice for minor first-time violations.
Mute — Temporary restriction from posting or participating in community channels.
Temporary Ban — Suspension from the platform for a defined period.
Permanent Ban — Irreversible removal for severe or repeated violations.
Severity is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Serious violations (hate speech, threats, doxxing, cheating in tournaments) may result in immediate escalation to higher enforcement levels.
