'Friday The 13th' Devs Send Out List Of Banable Offenses

Published Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:45:38 -0500

In a Reddit thread posted yesterday, the devs from Friday The 13th: The Game put up a fun list of offenses that can get you banned from the game. You're probably asking yourself "Why this stuff wasn't listed before?" Good question. The short version: The team at Gun Media didn't realize what total jerks their players could be. Like glitching your way onto the roof to outlast Jason, or working with Jason to kill others so you get to live. Here's the list below!

Deliberate Third-Party Hacking Software – Anyone caught with automation/speed/wall hacking and other third party macro systems to give them an edge in-game will result in a ban
Threats of Violence/Rape/Sexual Assault – Those using Voice Chat to threaten and harass other users with threats of sexual violence, rape and domestic violence to a degree unsuitable for social standards will result in a ban.
Racism/Discrimination – Those caught being racist or discriminatory to others will result in a ban.
Deliberately Helping Jason – This one is trickier; we will ban the Jason player and those helping Jason for deliberately 'helping' Jason win a match through killing other teammates or working to farm XP.
Deliberate Abuse of Exploits – Exploit usage that results in the deliberate griefing of others to gain an advantage and overall reduce enjoyment for other players will result in a ban.
Do Not Pretend to be an Employee of Gun Media or IllFonic – Anyone utilizing usernames that attempt to act as a member of our team or speaks in-game as an employee of our team will result in a ban.
Do Not Spam Report Those You Do Not Like – Reporting users needs to be constructive; we do not ban for team-killing. Please only report those you are certain of cheating or exploiting. We will eventually ignore requests from those excessively reporting other users for actions that do not fall within these guidelines.

The thread questioned whether or not the devs were censoring them, to which they posted an update saying "We want to make it perfectly clear to our users and fans that this is a move that in no way asks you to be censored. You can yell 'fuck' and 'shit' and 'cunt' all you want. This game is an outlet for people, and we are not ignorant to that. Think of this game like Westworld; you can screw with the in-game characters and have fun, but we're asking you not to harass the other players."

So essentially, there are now a set of rules in place to counteract cheating behavior and all around jerks to a degree. It's still up to the community to report people who think they're invincible. We are now eagerly awaiting all the outrage when people aren't banned for sending Jason out of the map , which is a glitch they still haven't addressed.
