Rules and moderation
The community rules in short, automatic spam protection, reports, appeals and possible penalties.
STRATKA is a shared game, and its players set the tone. There are few rules, and they are all about one thing: respect others and play fair.
The rules in short
- Respect. No harassment, insults, threats or hate speech; no spam, flooding or advertising unrelated to the game.
- Fair play. No bots or scripts, no exploiting bugs instead of reporting them, no multiple accounts and no arranged transfers or bids to move money between your own or related clubs.
- No impersonation. Do not pretend to be a moderator, an administrator or an official STRATKA account.
The full text is on the Site Rules (opens in a new tab) page.
Automatic protection
The game keeps part of the order by itself, without moderators:
- external links in chat, private messages, the forum and profile texts are not accepted — only links to STRATKA are allowed;
- the same text sent to many places in a short time is rejected as spam;
- a moderator checks newcomers' forum posts first — see Trust levels;
- club and stadium names are checked for offensive and reserved words, invisible characters and a mix of look-alike letters from different alphabets.
How to report
- Open the menu of a message, a topic, a forum reply or a wall post and press "Report".
- Choose a reason: spam, harassment, hate speech, scam, sexual content or other. Add some context if you like.
- Send the report. The moderator sees the post itself and its context as it was at the time of the report — even if the author edits it later.
To report a club's name, crest or texts, or a manager profile, use the "Report" button on their page. You can report the same thing only once.
If you simply do not want to see someone, no report is needed — press "Ignore" in the conversation menu: private messages and mentions from that person will stop.
My reports and appeals
The "My reports" page shows each of your reports with a status: "Under review", "Reviewed", "Action taken" or "Dismissed". If you disagree with a decision, press "Appeal decision" and explain why. You can appeal each report only once.
What a moderator can do
Moderators are marked with a badge next to their name. Sub-admins have their own shield and the same powers. Depending on the violation they can:
For serious violations — cheating or harming the game economy — an account can be blocked immediately, without a warning.
