Code of conduct

To ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone, we’ve outlined the following rules. By playing, you agree to follow this
Code of Conduct. Violations may result in warnings, temporary bans, or permanent account suspensions.

1. Respect and Fair Play

• No Harassment or Hate Speech: Treat all players with respect. Harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior will not be
  tolerated. Specifically:
  • Racist, homophobic, sexist or other discriminatory language is not allowed.
  • Excessive toxicity or harassment (for example, telling others to kill themselves) is not allowed.
  • Specific harassment such as doxxing is not allowed.
• Play Fair: Cheating, exploiting bugs, or using tools to gain an unfair advantage disrupts the game and is prohibited.

2. Gameplay Integrity

• No Harmful Tools or Mods: Any modifications or tools that harm other players (e.g., altering currency, health, or gameplay
  experience) are strictly prohibited.
• Keep It Balanced: Avoid using anything that disrupts the fairness, stability, or intended experience of the game.
• Avoid Exploiting Bugs: If you discover a bug, report it rather than use it to your advantage.

3. Positive Community Engagement

• Constructive Communication: Use respectful and appropriate language in all interactions. Offensive, inflammatory, or
  disruptive remarks are not allowed.
• Team Spirit: Support your fellow players and foster a welcoming environment for everyone, whether they’re seasoned
  pros or first-time explorers.
• No Impersonation: Pretending to be another player, a Custodian, or a developer undermines trust and is not allowed.

4. Reporting and Feedback

• Use Official Channels:
  • For player reports, please use in-game moderation tools or Support Portal: https://support.animalcompanyvr.com
  • For bug reports and feedback, please use our discord.gg/animalcompany
• Directly messaging developers to report players, ask for updates, request to become a moderator, or inquire about
  releases is not allowed. Use official announcements or community channels for information.
• Help Us Improve: Clear, detailed reports through the proper channels help us address issues efficiently.

5. Account Security and Personal Conduct

• Protect Your Account: Your account is your responsibility. Do not share your login details with others.
• Play for Fun: Focus on enjoying the game and helping others have a positive experience. Avoid trolling, griefing, or
  engaging in behavior that negatively impacts others.

6. Enforcement and Consequences

• Investigation Process: Reports are reviewed by our team to ensure fair and consistent action.
• Consequences: Violations may result in warnings, mutes, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans based on severity.

By following these guidelines, we can create a safe, fair, and exciting jungle for all Animals. Thank you for being part of the
