Community Rules

TopRankMC is a competitive environment. These rules keep it fair and fun for everyone. Breaking them will result in penalties up to a permanent ban from ranked play.

1. Sportsmanship

  • No toxicity, harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory language.
  • Respect your opponents — win or lose with grace.
  • No excessive taunting, griefing, or unsportsmanlike behavior.
  • Accept match outcomes. Elo changes are final.

2. Fair Play

  • No cheating, hacking, or modified clients that provide an unfair advantage.
  • No exploiting bugs or glitches — report them to staff instead.
  • No abusing game mechanics (e.g. leaving arena boundaries, stalling).
  • Illegal items are automatically removed during matches by our anti-cheat system.

3. Matchmaking Integrity

  • No Elo boosting or win-trading with other players.
  • No intentional throwing or deliberately losing matches.
  • No queue sniping or colluding to manipulate matchmaking.
  • Matches shorter than 15 seconds do not count for Elo (except disconnects).

4. Alt Accounts

  • Alt accounts used to manipulate Elo ratings are banned on detection.
  • Players from the same IP cannot queue against each other.
  • You may only play ranked on one account.

5. Communication

  • Keep chat respectful and constructive.
  • No spam, advertising, or self-promotion.
  • No impersonating staff or other players.
  • English is the primary language in global chat.

6. Consequences

Violations are handled on a progressive scale based on severity:

Extended Ban14–30 day ban from rankedWin-trading, Elo boosting, repeated offenses

Staff decisions are final. If you believe a ban was issued in error, contact an admin.

7. Disconnect Policy

  • Disconnecting during a match counts as a forfeit — your opponent wins.
  • Elo is always deducted for disconnects, regardless of match duration.
  • A 3-second cooldown is enforced between queue attempts to prevent abuse.
  • Repeated rage-quitting may result in temporary queue bans.
