Code of conduct

Ingress is normally a fun and friendly game to play, but sometimes players step over the line. In this blog post we will begin to cover what is ok to do and say in the game (and outside of the game) and what is not.

1. Calling someone names in COMM

No problem! Calling someone the n-word or referring to excrement is done on a regular basis as can be seen below. This is all part of the game and great fun. Please be creative in your abuse of our blue players.

1a. Exception from the rule above! The word "enemy"

Calling an opponent in Ingress an "enemy" is not ok. We've had issues with blue players putting up stickers with the word "enemy", referring to us in the green team, as can be seen below.

This, of course, upset a lot of us, as can be seen in the screenshot from the x-faction chat below.

Although the Ingress scanner uses the word "Enemy", it is still not ok to use for players in the game. People get hurt. Please accept the contradictions.

1b. Exception: Pictures of baby smurfs on fire is always ok

As can easily be understood, calling someone "enemy" and putting up stickers of a dead frog with a cross hair can be quite frightening and even threatening to some (THINK OF THE CHILDREN!), this should not refrain you for using pictures of crying baby smurfs and even burning smurfs. This can not be compared to being called an enemy and is in no way threatening! Anyone who says so is a liar and a thief. Or a smurf.

Some names have been removed from this blog post to protect the innocent.

jk, no one is innocent! lol Go Enlightened!!!

Ps. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.
