COLD COMFORT – CODE OF CONDUCT
Welcome to Cold Comfort!
We want this game and its community for you to be a friendly environment. A place where you can give gameplay advice and converse about any other aspects of the game with other players and discuss Cold Comfort with other members of the community and our staff members. This can only work when participants treat their fellow posters with respect and courtesy. The guidelines and rules listed below explain what behavior we expect from you and every other community member.
Your use of the game, Steam Hub and/or Cold Comfort Discord or other places where the community gets together constitutes acceptance and agreement to this Code of Conduct.
General Forum Guidelines
1. Your opinion – My Opinion:
You can disagree with anything but please keep your disagreements respectful, courteous, and polite.
2. Be Constructive:
Please stay on-topic and make your posts as informative, constructive and valuable as possible.
3. No Personal Attacks:
We are all different and therefore we all need to practice tolerance. This means treating everyone with respect, just as you wish to be treated by other community members.
4. Colorful Language:
Keep it appropriate. We all know the feeling but this will be a place for everyone.
5. Trolls:
There will be trolls, we know that. Nevertheless, we won’t tolerate rudeness or downright harassment. Those are a sure-fire way to find yourself on the outside looking in.
Everything is in a constant state of change and this Code of Conduct will be updated in the future. As such, the rules above are a general guideline and we recommend looking up our rules every now and then.
The following categories include both, clear and masked language as well as links to websites containing content such as the one listed below, but are not limited to those examples!

*a permanent ban
Any in-game suspension or ban will be duplicated on any other platform. Circumventing a temporary ban will also result in a permanent one. Gamma Minus reserves the right to suspend your access to these platforms at any time for reasons that include, but are not limited to, your failure to abide by this Code of Conduct. Any finalized decision may be based on the offending posters history.
