Community Guidelines
Effective date: May 13, 2026 Last updated: May 13, 2026
Rubber Ducks! has one piece of user-generated content: the leaderboard username you choose if you opt in to the global high-score table. These guidelines explain what’s allowed, what isn’t, and how reporting works.
By using the leaderboard, you agree to follow these rules.
1. What’s not allowed in usernames
You may not use a username that:
- Contains slurs, hate speech, or attacks based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.
- Contains sexual, sexually suggestive, or pornographic language.
- Promotes or glorifies violence, self-harm, or illegal activity.
- Impersonates Racoza Studios staff, other players, or public figures in a deceptive way.
- Contains spam, advertising, or attempts to lead users to external sites.
- Uses Unicode tricks (right-to-left overrides, zero-width characters, homoglyph substitutions) to evade these rules.
Usernames that violate these rules will be automatically replaced with the default name “Player” before they ever appear on the leaderboard. We do not notify users when this happens, and we do not return an error — the score still posts, just under “Player.”
2. Reporting another player
If you see a username on the leaderboard that violates these guidelines, tap the ⋯ button on that row and choose a report reason:
- Offensive name — slur, harassment, sexual content, etc.
- Cheating — implausible score, suspected exploit.
- Other — anything else worth a human review.
Reports are anonymous to the reported player. We apply a few limits to keep the system fair:
- You can report up to 5 different players per day.
- Reporting the same player twice within 24 hours counts as one report.
- When 3 different players report the same name within a 7-day window, that name is automatically quarantined (hidden from all leaderboards) pending human review.
3. Blocking another player
If you’d rather just not see a specific name, use the same ⋯ menu and choose Block. Blocked names disappear from your leaderboard view only — they remain visible to other players. Blocks are permanent until you contact us to undo them.
4. Consequences
Depending on severity and history, we may:
- Reset an offensive username to “Player” automatically.
- Quarantine a name after enough reports.
- Permanently ban a name or account on human review.
- Roll back leaderboard scores obtained through cheating.
We aim to be proportionate — a single edge-case word triggers an automated reset, not a ban. Repeated or serious violations escalate.
5. Appeals
If your name was reset or your account was banned and you believe it was wrong, email support@racoza.com with:
- The username or account ID in question.
- A short explanation of why you think the action was a mistake.
We review appeals within 14 days. Appeals about hate speech, sexual content, or cheating are rarely overturned. Appeals about edge-case word matches (legitimate names or words that contain banned substrings) are usually fixed quickly.
6. Contacting us
For all moderation questions, appeals, or to report something the in-app tools can’t capture: support@racoza.com.
