NOTE: Every player accepts the Terms of Service prior to accessing Online Features for any Civilization game
2K takes player conduct and fairness very seriously. Engaging in toxic behavior, cheating, or any other actions aimed at gaining an unfair advantage in a Civilization game not only diminishes the quality of the game but also harms the experience for the entire community.
Players who violate our Terms of Service and/or this Code of Conduct may face corrective actions ranging from an initial warning to a temporary suspension or permanent ban.
Prohibited behaviors subject to corrective action include, but are not limited to:
- Purchasing, selling or transferring accounts to or from another player, including transferring accounts for the purpose of engaging in “grinding” services affecting account progression.
- Building or using bots in any form or fashion.
- Hacking or attempting to hack the game in any form or fashion.
- "Boosting” - Fraudulently altering progression by coordinating with other players to manipulate the outcomes of online games.
- Sharing content that is illegal, offensive, inappropriate, lewd, or otherwise harmful, such as nudity, profanity, racism, hate-speech, misogyny, self-harm, exploitation, or abuse.
- Abusive, threatening, or bullying behavior directed at 2K's personnel or other players, clans, groups, or teams.
- Sharing content that is a reference to drugs or alcohol.
- Promoting, or encouraging other players to engage in, dangerous real-world stunts or challenges.
KEEP IN MIND: The examples above are not intended to be a complete list. They are some of the actions that are not allowed, in order to help you understand what kind of behavior is not considered okay for any 2K game or community interaction.
Promoting, increasing awareness, or driving engagement to any of these prohibited behaviors which are not clearly and explicitly authorized by 2K or Take-Two is not allowed and is also subject to corrective action.
The number of violations of this policy that are allowed before a player's account or device is suspended or banned may vary depending on the severity of the infraction. Player accounts or devices may be permanently banned immediately if the severity of their infraction is significant, the volume of content uploaded, created, or shared by them that violates the policy is high, or the volume of complaints received about them is high.
For more information, please see the User Rules contained in Section 6 of our Terms of Service and the 2K Code of Conduct for Fair Play.
