Guild Member Rules and Expections
- Sea of Thieves is a game for everyone regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, nationality, creed or disability. CTS agrees with this and therefore adopted it. Treat everyone with respect. #
- Don’t insult players you don’t know. If humor is the intent, remember that this can be lost or misinterpreted online, and words can very easily offend. Be mindful of what you’re saying and if someone asks a question, see if you can help them out as you’d appreciate being helped out yourself if the roles were reversed. #
- Remember kids are playing. Sea of Thieves is home to players of all ages, so keep your posts and conversations appropriate for younger players and families. #
- Never harass, bully, intimidate, threaten or encourage others to do harm. None of these behaviors will be tolerated. Any activity you engage in that is solely designed to target and upset another player or crew constitutes bullying. Repeated activity designed to ruin the experience of another player or crew constitutes harassment. Not only do we take these things very seriously, many law enforcement agencies recognize online abuse as an offense. If necessary, we will report incidents to the relevant authorities to take further action. #
- We have a zero tolerance approach to any form of in-game hacking or cheating, and transgression can result in a permanent ban from both CTS and Sea of Thieves. Activities such as teaming or boosting to gain an advantage over other players in competitive game modes may also result in enforcement action. #
- No form of advertising is appropriate. Any form of spamming should be avoided. Trolling, baiting and witch hunts are also unacceptable. #
-
If you witness CTS guild members violating any of these rules setforth, please inform an Admin ASAP. If you find guild member is involved in illegal activities contact your local law enforcement office.
