Player safety and fair play
This page describes the protections we use across Marvelous Foundry LLC titles, including Golden Stampede. These are operating practices, not promises about every player interaction.
Find reporting and supportFair play starts with server-side decisions. Core game simulation is authoritative on the server, which blocks many forms of client-side manipulation before detection is needed.
Additional checks look for unusual play patterns and integrity signals. We keep detection details private so they cannot become a guide to avoiding enforcement.
Matchmaking groups players by demonstrated skill. After a long break, the system uses recent results to adjust its estimate rather than treating an old rating as permanent.
A close match is the goal. No rating system can predict every session perfectly.
Reports give moderators context to review conduct. Use the in-game report option for a match or player, community moderation tools for community spaces, or contact support if neither route fits.
Choose the closest report reason and include where and when it happened. A player name and a short description help us locate the event.
Specific conduct, the relevant match or community space, and any available in-game context. Please report the behavior rather than a disagreement about the result.
Moderators assess reports against the conduct rules and available context. Safety threats are prioritized; other reports are handled in the review queue.
Reports may be checked alongside relevant game records. Moderation decisions are logged and reviewed for consistency.
When a report is upheld, action can range from a warning to account removal, based on severity and prior conduct.
We limit details about another player's account. We publish anonymized summaries of moderation outcomes to show how the rules are applied.
Response time depends on severity and report volume. We don't promise a fixed turnaround for every case.
Social features should give players control over what they share. These settings are available to help families set boundaries and players choose how they take part.
We limit public visibility by default where a title supports social profiles. Players can tighten available visibility and communication settings in the game.
Where supported by the title, controls are available for family settings without asking support to change them.
Accessibility options are part of the game interface, not an afterthought.
Need an accommodation we haven't added? Tell support.
Keep the game usable for the people sharing it. These expectations apply to players, moderators, and studio staff in our community spaces.
Moderators and studio staff are expected to use the same conduct rules in community spaces. Report concerns about staff through support so they can be reviewed separately.
Use in-game reporting for match conduct. Contact support for account concerns, accessibility requests, or a safety issue that needs a person to review it.
Include the game, your player name, where the issue happened, and a concise account of what you saw. Send sensitive account details only through the support route.
