Community Guidelines

Effective: October 11, 2026

Last Updated: October 20, 2026

Good games. Good people. Always open.

LANITY exists to bring back the feeling of a real LAN center — a place where people can show up, find others to play with, pull up a chair, and enjoy games together. The games matter, but the people matter more. These Community Guidelines apply across LANITY, including profiles, The LAN, game rooms, tables, crews, events, the Lounge, chat, and other community features. By using LANITY, you agree to follow these rules.

  1. LANITY is 18+

You must be at least 18 years old to create or use a LANITY account. If you believe someone on LANITY is under 18, report them. Accounts that belong to people under 18 can't take part and may be deleted. Do not:

  • seek sexual or romantic contact with a minor;
  • request sexual images or sexual conversations from a minor;
  • pressure a minor to move a conversation to a private or off-platform service;
  • request a minor's home address, school, phone number, precise location, or other sensitive personal information;
  • attempt to groom, manipulate, exploit, or endanger a minor.

Behavior that places a minor at risk may result in immediate account removal and may be reported to appropriate authorities where required.

  1. Treat people like people

Competition is welcome. Harassment is not. Do not bully, threaten, stalk, intimidate, repeatedly target, deliberately humiliate, or organize harassment against another person. Trash talk about the match is different from attacking the person behind the screen. Know the difference.

  1. No hate or discrimination

LANITY does not allow content or behavior that attacks, dehumanizes, or targets people because of characteristics such as:

  • race;
  • ethnicity;
  • nationality;
  • religion;
  • sex;
  • sexual orientation;
  • gender identity;
  • disability;
  • or similar protected characteristics.

Different games. Different people. Same LAN.

  1. Keep sexual content off LANITY

LANITY is a gaming community, not an adult-content platform. Do not post, request, distribute, or solicit:

  • sexually explicit content;
  • pornography;
  • sexual services;
  • sexual images;
  • sexually harassing messages.

Sexual content involving minors is strictly prohibited.

  1. Protect personal information

Do not share another person's private information without permission. This includes things such as:

  • home addresses;
  • phone numbers;
  • passwords;
  • private messages;
  • financial information;
  • real-world identity information;
  • precise location;
  • school or workplace details.

Be careful with your own information too. You should never need to give another LANITY user your password, home address, authentication code, or financial information.

  1. Don't bypass safety systems

LANITY uses moderation and safety tools, including profanity filters. Do not deliberately bypass those systems using misspellings, symbols, spacing tricks, alternate accounts, coded language, or other methods. A moderation system failing to detect something does not make the behavior acceptable.

  1. No scams, spam, malware, or impersonation

Do not use LANITY to:

  • scam or defraud people;
  • distribute malware;
  • send malicious links;
  • steal credentials;
  • spam advertisements;
  • manipulate engagement;
  • impersonate another player;
  • impersonate LANITY staff or moderators.
  1. No real-world threats

Games may involve combat. Real-world threats are different. Do not:

  • threaten violence;
  • encourage someone to harm themselves or others;
  • glorify or coordinate real-world violence;
  • use LANITY to organize illegal activity.

Credible threats may be escalated to appropriate authorities.

  1. Play fair with LANITY itself

Do not attack or abuse LANITY's systems. That includes:

  • exploiting bugs to harm others;
  • bypassing access controls;
  • attempting unauthorized access;
  • scraping restricted user information;
  • interfering with another user's session;
  • attacking LANITY infrastructure;
  • intentionally overwhelming services;
  • abusing automated systems.

If you find a security issue, report it instead of exploiting it.

  1. Respect the room

Different game tables, crews, events, and communities may have different personalities. Read the room. Do not repeatedly join spaces just to disrupt them, derail conversations, provoke players, or prevent others from enjoying the experience.

  1. Report problems instead of escalating them

If someone is violating these Guidelines, use LANITY's reporting and blocking tools. Do not organize retaliation, harassment campaigns, or public pile-ons. Let moderation handle the report.

  1. Moderation

LANITY may use automated systems and human review to help enforce these Guidelines. Actions may include:

  • content removal;
  • warnings;
  • feature restrictions;
  • temporary suspensions;
  • permanent account removal.

We may consider:

  • severity;
  • context;
  • repetition;
  • previous behavior;
  • safety risk;
  • attempts to evade enforcement.

Serious abuse, exploitation, credible threats, fraud, or illegal activity may be escalated where appropriate.

  1. The standard

You do not have to agree with everyone. You do have to treat them like they belong in the room. Good games. Good people. Always open.
