FaceOff Community Guidelines

Effective Date: July 11, 2026 · Last Updated: July 22, 2026

FaceOff is a gaming social and voice app. These Community Guidelines explain what is allowed and NOT allowed on FaceOff.

By using FaceOff, you agree to follow these Guidelines, our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.

1. Main Rule

FaceOff is made for competitive gamers.

You can trash talk. You can swear. You can joke. You can roast gameplay. You can get intense.

But you CANNOT cross the line into serious abuse, threats, harassment, doxxing, exploitation, scams, illegal activity, or behavior that harms users or FaceOff.

Talk your trash, but do NOT cross the line.

FaceOff decides, at its discretion, when behavior crosses the line.

2. Allowed Trash Talk

The following is generally allowed:

• Swearing.
• Competitive banter.
• Roasting someone's gameplay.
• Saying someone got cooked.
• Saying someone played badly.
• Jokes between users.
• Emotional reactions during games.
• Rivalry and hype.
• Normal arguing after a match.

Examples:

• "You got cooked."
• "Run it back."
• "That deck is trash."
• "You only won because you got lucky."
• "Bro, uninstall."

Normal trash talk alone will NOT usually get you banned.

• Personal in a serious way.
• Threatening.
• Hateful.

You may NOT record, stream, post, or share private calls without permission from all people in the call, unless the law clearly allows it.

Remember: if you broadcast a live stream with your mic on, your voice is part of that stream and its saved recording.

Group owners, clan leaders, admins, and moderators must follow these Guidelines.

They may manage their groups, but they may NOT use groups to organize harassment, scams, hate attacks, cheating, sexual exploitation, or illegal activity.

FaceOff may remove groups, clan chats, roles, admins, messages, or communities at any time if we believe there is a rule violation or safety risk.

19. Reports, Blocks, and Mutes

Users can report, block, mute, or restrict others.

Do NOT abuse reporting tools.

False, spammy, retaliatory, or bad-faith reports may lead to action against the reporter.
