Here are our thoughts on policy:

PGA: This is a big grey area, but let's put it this way, trucing someone over and over just because you're friends or have the same flag, making up silly reasons to give someone a higher spot over someone else, or just outright not attacking someone even though it's pretty clear it's your best move is PGA. And PGA WILL be banned.

OTF/Hardcore OTF: The grey line is shrinking between these two and PGA. We will not turn this into a litigious battle, but will say Hardcore OTF is PGA and shall be banned. This is on a case-to-case basis and is under mod discretion. Mods are generally in close contact and are willing to talk about general guidelines on how not to OTF.

Racism/Sexism/Homophobia/Etc: Let's keep this stuff out of the chat/forum... that means words like "cunt", "fag" (and any of their derivatives) and all racial slurs will be monitored and receive warnings/bans based on severity of the offence and history of the player saying these things. In practise, maybe not every use of any of these words will get an automatic ban but in theory you do risk getting a warning or an instant ban if you choose to use them. Always keep in mind that you shouldn't be using them in the first place so please do not take the risk and you will be perfectly fine.

Death Threats: This is just a game, wishing someone death in real life just seems excessive.

Excessive Swearing/Spamming: Swear all you want, but keep it within reason. This is a passionate game and people get angry, that's fine but let's not spam the chat box... figure out another way to vent your frustration. Remember that there are younger players here.

Harassment: Going around following a person to no end, bullying them whenever you get the chance is unacceptable. This is pretty vague, but we think people generally know when they're overdoing it when it comes to bullying. Also please stay away from dragging family members into discussions on KDice.

Muting a Player: There is a mute function: /mute (username). This is case sensitive and will need to be redone if you refresh the page or go to another table to keep said player muted.

Alts: Bans on mains extend to bans on alts, what's the point of a ban if you're just going to log in to an alt and continue playing. Doing this may result in a longer ban.

Bad behavior on secret alts: In general the mods will respect your secret identity if you want to play on a secret alt. However, if you misbehave on a secret alt (trolling, harassment, racism, cheating, etc.), your secret alts will be outed.

Sharing accounts: Sharing accounts is not allowed. The general policy is to permaban a shared account with the risk of your main being banned too.

Username Creation: If any username goes overboard with the amount of swearing/hate speech/death threats/harassment in them, they'll be banned.

Avatars: Pornography/hate in avatars will result in reset of the avatar and removal of avatar privileges, also repeat offences could be treated as above.

We're adults and most of what we covered here really shouldn't have to be explained to begin with. Of course, there is leeway and moderator discretion in all the above rules (jokes between friends, within reason, etc...). We also know that this is a ton of guidelines but trust us that the aim is not to kill the fun in KDice. To the contrary, everything is pretty common sense and should be easy to follow. The main goal is to keep KDice competitive and fun for everyone.

Constructive comments are welcome though regarding this policy. This list is not a black and white rulebook since we all know that it's impossible to cover every situation. Again, this should all be common sense and if in doubt about something, better be safe than sorry and consult a mod first.
