We take care to promote a healthy environment for everyone to enjoy in Eternal Crusade. Suspension and banning of a player's account is obviously something we would like to avoid, but it is occasionally necessary in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable game for everyone.
The following is a list of conducts that are not tolerated and may result in the suspension, or permanent banning of your game account. Punishment as a result of these rules is up to the discretion of the Eternal Crusade team.
1. Exploits and Hacking:
- Purposeful or repeated use of known exploits in order to achieve a competitive advantage.
- Altering game files in a way that provides an advantage.
- Intentionally disrupting the connection of other players.
- Distributing informaiton about exploits and/or hacks.
- Disrupting the performance of Eternal Crusade servers.
2. Impersonation of Behaviour employees.
- Attempting to impersonate Behaviour employees is not accepted for any reason.
3. Harassment:
- Offensive, hateful, threatening, racist, xenophobic, anti-LGBT+, sexist, and otherwise disgraceful and/or abusive comments, including: false and unsubstantiated allegations, personal attacks, and harassment.
- Messages containing confidential information such as personal email, address, phone number and other personal information.
- Excessive messages directed at, or defaming the character of players.
- Sending death threats/death wishes to the developers or any player of the game.
4. Illegal activities:
- Comments promoting disobedience and illegal actions or linking to illegal content;
- Comments violating the laws and regulations of Quebec and Canada or explain how to transgress the laws.
- Any publication which does not respect the right to confidentiality and authorship, as well as any comment whether offensive, seditious, blasphematory or giving rise to prosecution will be removed.

Update: Cheaters and Hackers
We are now taking a Zero-Tolerance Policy in regards to dealing with cheaters. If a player is caught using a game mod or hack, they will receive a permanent in-game ban. Bans issued as a result of this are final and non-negotiable.

It would be great if this portion of the harassment rules in our forums were actually moderated and adhered to.
The amount of personal attacks, "naming names" and harassment in our forums is out of control
Try in game MODERATORS verbally abusing players! Then if you TK them twice in two separate games (one deliberately) you get banned for a week!
You have no chance pal.
I haven't been in the forums long but I'm surprised that a moderated community allows for so much vitriol and the number of blatant personal attacks is pretty alarming. As others have pointed out in this thread the Suspension and Ban policies are a joke because that section on Harassment is totally ignored by the Moderators and Community Manager.
I've noticed that there seems to be a small click I think of as the "hate posse". This group of hate filled forum goers gang up and berate, insult, attack and bully anyone they disagree with. They make hate filled comments, they all like each other comments with the main goal of bullying and defaming the character of anyone they disagree with. This behavior is prevalent throughout many posts and the fact that BHVR allows this behavior to thrive is truly abhorrent.
Reporting offensive comments does absolutely nothing and the offensive, deeply personal vitriolic comments are allowed to stand. Anyone that tries to defend themselves from the persistent stream of personal attacks and strikes back gets lectured by mods or temp banned, which is laughable. I'm not sure if some of these most outspoken, hatefilled individuals that constantly attack others are friends or guild mates of the mods or if Behavior simply does not enforce their own policies.
Whatever the case the system is broken broken primarily because the Mods totally ignore the Harassment policies and the fact that reporting aggressive, hateful personal comments and blatant personal attacks seems to do absolutely nothing because the offensive content is allowed to remain and the "repeat offenders" continue to spread their hate and vitriol.
