Community Guidelines
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Game rooms are better when people can talk trash about the game without it turning into abuse. These guidelines apply to chat messages, usernames, profile photos and anything else you post on PickStormm.
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users.
What's not allowed
- Harassment. Targeting, insulting or piling on another person, including over a pick or a result.
- Hate speech. Attacking people for their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics.
- Threats. Threatening or encouraging harm to anyone, including players, coaches, officials and other users.
- Sexual content. Sexual or sexually suggestive messages, images or links.
- Spam. Repeated or off-topic messages, advertising, and flooding a game room.
- Scams. Phishing, fake giveaways, or links and offers meant to trick people.
- Impersonation. Pretending to be another user, PickStormm staff, an athlete, a team or anyone else.
- Sharing personal information.Posting anyone's private details, such as their address, phone number, email or where they work.

- Illegal activity. Anything that breaks the law or encourages others to.
Cheating, such as using more than one account, is covered by our Terms of Use and the Official Rules.
Reporting
- In a game room, long-press or tap the message.

Moderators review reports within 24 hours. You can also report a problem by opening a ticket in Account → Support.
If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
Blocking
Long-press or tap one of the person's messages and choose Block. Blocking hides that person's messages from you.
What moderators do
Depending on how serious the behavior is and whether it has happened before, moderators can:
- Hide a message
- Mute a user in chat, for a set time or permanently
- Suspend an account
- Ban an account
Severe violations, such as threats of violence, can lead to an immediate ban.
