Community Safety
Compete in the game and respect the people playing it. Harassment, hate, sexual abuse, real-world threats and sharing someone else's personal information are not welcome. Chat and editable community text are checked before posting. Game combat talk such as attacking a fleet is allowed. Report harmful content the filter misses.
Report a message
Choose Report beside the message, select a reason, add useful context and send. You receive a case number for moderator review. Open Safety & blocked players beside the community controls to see your recent report statuses. Staff can review, dismiss, escalate, remove content or suspend community posting. Your reporter identity and staff notes are not shown to the reported player.
Report before blocking if you need to report a message that blocking will hide. Repeated reports of the same content return the existing case. You can submit up to 10 new content reports per hour; for urgent concerns use support.
Block or unblock a player
Choose Block player beside a chat message, or enter their username on the Community safety page. Blocking hides your chat from each other and prevents private chat contact in the current universe. It survives signing out. Official announcements remain visible. Blocking does not stop gameplay attacks, hide issue board discussions or automatically block the same account in another universe.
Use Unblock on the same page to remove your block. If the other player has also blocked you, their block still applies. Your list can hold 500 players.
Other content and support
The Community safety page accepts reports of player names, station names, public alliance text, your alliance's internal text, player issues and issue comments. Choose the type and the ID from the content's page/link. Issue comment references use the issue ID followed by a colon and the comment ID. Staff receive a copy of the content you are allowed to see, not someone else's private messages.
If you cannot find an ID, need to report other content, or want to appeal a posting suspension, contact support with the universe, location and time. Do not repost private information in public chat. Support is not an emergency service.
External alliance images and issue images are hidden, and new public image uploads are unavailable while media review is being prepared. You can still use bundled game artwork for an alliance. Posting suspension affects community content; it does not prevent normal empire play.
