Social Rules

FriendlyStock is a shared space. The chat connects real people playing the same game, and these rules exist to keep it that way.

Keep It Civil

Competitive chat is part of the game — rivalry, banter, and trash talk about who is winning are all fine. What is not fine is personal attacks, harassment, or targeted abuse aimed at a specific player. There is a clear line between winding someone up about their stall and making them feel unwelcome. Stay on the right side of it.

No Hate or Discrimination

Content that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or discriminatory in any other way will result in an immediate ban. There are no warnings for this.

No Spam or Flooding

Repeatedly sending the same message, posting walls of text, or spamming the chat to drown out other players disrupts the experience for everyone. Keep contributions meaningful.

No Threats or Intimidation

Threats of any kind — whether directed at another player's in-game position or in the real world — are not tolerated. This includes coordinated efforts to bully or pressure a specific player into leaving the game.

Keep It in English

The shared chat is English only. This makes it possible for other players and moderators to follow what is being said. Private messages between players are not restricted.

Enforcement

Moderators have full discretion when it comes to enforcing these rules. Not every situation fits neatly into a category — if something is clearly making the chat worse, a moderator can act on it regardless of whether it is explicitly listed above.

Bans may be temporary or permanent depending on the severity and history of the behaviour. Repeated minor violations will be treated the same as a serious single incident if the pattern makes clear that someone is not acting in good faith.

There is no formal appeals process, but if you believe a moderation decision was made in error you can raise it by contacting us directly.

In Short

Play hard, talk freely, compete aggressively — just do not make it personal or hostile. The chat should feel like a lively market, not a place people dread opening.
