Rec Room Code of Conduct

  • Updated

All players must follow the Rec Room Code of Conduct:

 

General:

  • Rule #1: Be excellent to each other!

  • Sexist, racist, discriminatory or harassing language, behavior, or content is not welcome

  • Do not promote, encourage or participate in illegal behavior

  • Players 12 or younger must use a Junior Account

  • One player per account. The player must match the birth date on the account.

  • No disruptive trolling or inflammatory stuff in public rooms

    1. E.g., sexually explicit material, controversial topics

    2. This rule does not apply to private/unlisted rooms. But whatever you choose to do in a private or unlisted room, be sure that everyone present is cool with it.

    3. Potentially inflammatory rooms should clearly communicate their purpose to other users before they enter the room.

  • Do not impersonate devs, moderators, or other authority figures

  • Don’t mess with other people’s games! We don’t want to implement a million rules to control your behavior in every game. Don’t make us. This includes:

    1. Cheating

    2. Abusing the in-game moderation tools

    3. Just generally being an ass/not being a good sport.

  • Please use the in-game reporting tools to report Code of Conduct violations.

    • Players you report will be automatically muted and blocked. Blocked players appear faded out to you and are prevented from joining your custom rooms. Our matchmaking systems will also take this block into account and attempt to never again place you in a room where you might run into the blocked player. 

Player created rooms:

  • Rooms are behavior - Rooms are treated as an extension of the player(s) who create and own them. Making a public custom room full of Code of Conduct violations will be moderated as if all owners of that room had created those violations or engaged in that behavior in a populated public space.

  • Room ownership is an active responsibility - If you create a room, you are responsible for making sure it doesn’t devolve into a toxic mess. If you can’t devote some energy into proactively checking on your room (e.g., maybe you’re going on vacation) consider making it private for the duration, or finding a trusted co-owner.

  • If you have save privileges, you are responsible - This means that all co-owners are responsible. If you’re going on vacation, or have lost interest in a room, remove yourself as an owner. The creator of the room is the ultimate responsible party.

  • For more info, please view the Creator Code of Conduct

Clubs:

  • Club ownership is an active responsibility - you and your co-owners are responsible for ensuring your club has enough moderators and maintains a good reputation. If you or your co-owners wont have time to properly moderate your club for a period of time, consider making it private or bringing on more co-owners or moderators to help support your community.

  • Clubs with sexual themes must be private

  • Clubs may not promote illegal behavior

  • Clubs associated with continuing moderation incidents may be forced private or shut down. This can also lead to moderation consequences for the club creator and co-owners, up to a permanent ban.

Behavior outside of Rec Room:

 

These rules are neither final nor exhaustive - we reserve the right to suspend disruptive players even if their behavior doesn’t fall under any of the above rules directly.
