At Reborn, we are committed to fostering an environment where players can freely express themselves. We believe freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, including the ability to communicate without fear of excessive moderation or unnecessary enforcement.

That said, freedom of expression comes with personal responsibility. Our philosophy is to empower players with the tools to shape their own experiences, while ensuring that baseline community standards are upheld to maintain a respectful and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Smurfing is defined as creating a new account to play in lower-ranked lobbies in order to gain an unfair competitive advantage over less experienced opponents.

We believe the responsibility for handling smurfing rests with us as the game operators. Our matchmaking and skill-rating systems must be sophisticated enough to identify highly skilled players and move them quickly toward their appropriate rating.

As such, we do not review reports or apply punitive action for suspected smurfing. Instead, we focus our efforts on designing, engineering, and continuously improving systems that minimize disruption and ensure fair competition for all players.

Reborn empowers players to shape their own in-game experience through the following self-moderation tools:

• Profanity Filter: Optional and customizable, the profanity filter blocks a wide range of offensive or vulgar language.

• Mute & Block: If a player is using text or voice communication you do not wish to see or hear, you may mute or block them at any time. Once muted or blocked, you will no longer receive communication from that player. Determining what is considered offensive is left to the player—this is not dictated by Kongor Studios or Juvio.

• Avoid: Players may choose to avoid others they find disruptive or unpleasant to interact with. Being frequently avoided has consequences: accounts with higher avoid counts may experience increased matchmaking times and other negative effects.

• Kick Voting: If a teammate is being disruptive, including behavior you consider excessively offensive in chat or voice communications, you may initiate a vote kick. A successful vote kick removes the player from the match, applies a loss, results in double MMR loss, and incurs a severe penalty of 8 Penalty Points.

All players receive 3 Avoids by default. Additional Avoids may be purchasable in the future.

At the end of each match, players will be able to vote for the Most Valuable Player (MVP). Each player is presented with a voting panel featuring their teammates and may select the player they most enjoyed playing with or who had the greatest impact on the match.

The player who receives the most MVP votes is awarded MVP status. Their MVP stat increases by 1, and 1 Penalty Point is removed from their account.

Players are expected to compete to win in every match and play the game as intended. This includes, but is not limited to, fulfilling your assigned role and avoiding intentional actions that negatively impact the match or the broader community.

The following behaviors are not permitted:

• Cheating: Use of third-party software, scripts, macros, or unauthorized modifications.
  Penalty severity is dependent on the offense.

• Exploiting: Abusing bugs or glitches to gain an in-game advantage.
  Penalty severity is dependent on the offense.

• Intentional Loss / Sabotage / Refusal to Participate: Any action taken with the intent to undermine team performance or disrupt the match.

• Role Participation: Players must play their assigned role. The Role Swap feature must be used for all role changes.

• Item Abuse: Destroying, selling, or intentionally misusing items in bad faith.

• Ability Abuse: Using abilities to intentionally harm, disrupt, or endanger teammates.
