Community Guidelines

These Community Guidelines set the standards of conduct for everyone who uses Gameful, including on our websites, in messages and trade rooms, and through the Gameful Discord bots. These guidelines apply to everything you post or send on Gameful, including your username, display name, bio, status, and profile picture. They form part of our Terms of Service. Each game's team may publish additional rules for its community, which apply alongside these Guidelines.

1. Trade honestly #

• Describe your items and your offers accurately, and give what you agreed to give.
• Do not scam, fake a trade, or take items without giving yours in return.
• Do not ask someone to give you items first in exchange for a promise to trade later. Both players should use the game's own trade window.
• Do not pretend to be a middleman, a staff member or a trusted trader to gain someone's trust. Gameful does not offer a middleman service. Nobody is authorised to hold items on Gameful's behalf.
• Do not offer, request, or trade duplicated ("duped") items. Do not use, sell, share, or teach others how to use hacks or exploits.
• Values on Gameful are a guide, not a price. Do not pressure or mislead anyone about what an item is worth.
• Record the outcome of your trades truthfully, and leave ratings that honestly reflect your experience. Do not exchange ratings by agreement, or ask others to rate you.

2. Trade within the same game #

• Trades happen inside the game. No one from Gameful will ask you to hand over items, except when you choose to make a donation from a game's donation page, and then only to the account that page names. Anyone else who asks is a scammer.
• Do not buy, sell or trade items or accounts for real money, Robux, gift cards or anything else outside the game, and do not ask anyone to. Trading items for other items in the same game is what Gameful is for.
• Do not trade items from one game for items from another (cross-trading), and do not advertise such trades.
• Do not bet items or run, join, or advertise item-based gambling, including coin flips and jackpots.

3. Protect your account #

• Never share your password, sign-in codes or recovery codes, and never ask anyone for theirs.
• Do not access or attempt to access someone else's account.
• Do not share personal information, yours or anyone else's, such as a real name, address, school, phone number, email address or photographs.
• Only follow links to official Roblox and Gameful addresses. Do not post links designed to imitate a real website, or links that launch games or downloads.

4. Respect other players #

• Do not bully, harass, threaten or intimidate anyone, and stop contacting someone who has asked you to stop. If someone blocks you, do not contact them through another account or ask someone else to contact them for you.
• Do not post hate speech, or content that attacks or demeans people because of their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or other protected characteristic.
• Do not publicly target other players, encourage harassment, deliberately start arguments, or retaliate against someone. Report violations instead.
• Do not swear, use slurs, or beg for items, Robux, or other gifts.
• Do not post sexual content, graphic violence, content about illegal drugs or alcohol, or content that encourages self-harm. If you are struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or to a support service, such as 988 in the United States, Samaritans on 116 123 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, or a helpline listed at findahelpline.com.

5. Keep younger players safe #

Many people who use Gameful are teenagers. To protect them:

• Do not ask anyone for photographs or personal information.
• You can show your Discord username on your profile, within your age settings. Do not ask anyone to move a chat or a trade to another platform or app.
• Do not ask anyone to hide a conversation or trade from their parents or guardians.
• Adults must not ask users under 18 for photographs, personal information or contact on another app. No one may try to get around Gameful's safety protections.
• Any content or behaviour that sexualises, grooms or exploits a minor is strictly prohibited. We remove it, close the accounts responsible and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and to law enforcement.

6. No spam or fake activity #

• Do not post spam, repeated messages or chain messages, and do not advertise other websites, servers or services.
• Do not flood anyone with offers, friend requests, or messages.
• Do not post trade advertisements or offers you don't intend to complete or that are intended to manipulate an item's value.
• Do not impersonate another person, a game developer, Roblox, or a member of Gameful's staff or a game's team.
• Do not use another account to get around a restriction or ban, or to manipulate votes, ratings or reputation.
• Value suggestions must be honest and supported by genuine evidence. Do not coordinate votes on Win/Fair/Loss posts or elsewhere.
• Do not use bots, scripts or other automated means to use the Services, other than the APIs and bots we provide, and do not try to get around our filters.
• Only post content that you have the right to share.

7. Reporting #

If you see something that breaks these Guidelines, please report it using the report option next to the profile, message, post, advertisement, trade or other content concerned. You can report:

• scams, including taking items, faking a trade or asking for Robux or real money;
• bullying or harassment;
• child safety concerns, such as asking a young player for photographs, personal information or to chat elsewhere;
• hate speech;
• sexual content;
• spam or advertising for other websites; and
• anything else that breaks these Guidelines.

Reports are confidential: we do not tell the reported user who reported them, except where the law requires it. We will let you know when we have reviewed your report. Making false or abusive reports is itself a breach of these Guidelines. If you believe that someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.

Gameful cannot reverse transactions inside games or recover items lost through trades, scams, or account compromises. Reports help us investigate and take action against violations.

8. How we enforce these Guidelines #

Content is screened automatically and may be held for review or refused. Our moderators, and members of each game's team, review reports and flagged content. Depending on the seriousness of a violation and your history, we may:

• remove content or limit its visibility;
• give you a warning;
• pause your access to particular features, such as messaging, chat, trading, posting or voting, for a period of time;
• suspend or permanently close your account; or
• add a confirmed scam to our public scam list.

Most violations count against your account for a limited time, 30 or 90 days depending on their seriousness, and repeated violations lead to longer restrictions. The most serious violations, such as scams, attempts to obtain account credentials, threats and any harm to the safety of a minor, do not expire and may lead to an immediate permanent ban.

9. Appeals #

If you believe we made a mistake, you can appeal any restriction that lasts seven days or longer, that has no end date, or that was applied automatically. Use the appeal option in your account or in the notice you received, and explain why you believe the decision was wrong. A member of our moderation team who was not involved in the original decision will review your appeal, and we will tell you the outcome. We aim to decide most appeals within seven days. If a decision cannot be appealed in the Services, such as the removal of a single post or a short restriction, you can ask us to review it by writing to support@gameful.com within six months of the decision.
