We therefore also take action against players who post content that supports such ideologies within our games.
Do not post:

- Content that contains names, symbols, logos, flags, slogans, uniforms, gestures, salutes, illustrations, portraits, songs, music, lyrics, or other objects related to a hateful ideology.

- Claims of supremacy over a group of people with reference to other protected characteristics.
- Conspiracy theories used to justify hateful ideologies.
