Treat teammates with respect
Use voice, chat, and lobby tools without harassment, threats, hate speech, targeted abuse, or attempts to intimidate other players.

The TrustedQueue standard protects useful teammate discovery: honest identities, respectful lobbies, private reports, and evidence-led moderation.
LOBBIES
Respect first
IDENTITY
Keep it honest
REPORTS
Always private
DECISIONS
Evidence-led
FIVE SIMPLE RULES
These rules apply across discovery, lobbies, reviews, reports, community spaces, and TrustedQueue CS2 servers.
Use voice, chat, and lobby tools without harassment, threats, hate speech, targeted abuse, or attempts to intimidate other players.
Use your own Steam account. Do not impersonate players or attempt to bypass verification, preflight, moderation, or queue restrictions.
Communicate plans clearly, leave lobbies cleanly when plans change, and do not deliberately grief, throw, sabotage, or repeatedly no-show.
Use the completed-lobby report flow, describe what happened accurately, and provide evidence for serious claims. False or malicious reports are reviewed too.
Moderation decisions stay private. Use an available appeal route instead of exposing reporters, starting public accusation campaigns, or evading an action.
THE EVERYDAY STANDARD
Competitive play can be intense. The line is whether behavior protects fair participation or deliberately harms another player, lobby, or community process.
Clear, respectful communication
Honest Steam identity and account linking
Good-faith lobby participation
Private, evidence-led reporting
Respect for moderation and privacy
Cheating, griefing, throwing, or deliberate sabotage
Harassment, threats, hate speech, or targeted abuse
Impersonation or verification bypass attempts
False, retaliatory, or coordinated malicious reports
Publishing accusations, evidence, or reporter identities
PRIVATE MODERATION
Reporter identities, evidence, risk notes, and case decisions stay on protected moderation surfaces.
Reports are limited to eligible players who shared a completed TrustedQueue lobby.
Serious claims enter a private moderation queue and do not count as confirmed on submission.
Serious actions require a moderation action and an admin audit record.
Queue restrictions and platform bans include a private appeal route under current policy.
IMPORTANT BOUNDARY
TrustedQueue may restrict queue access after confirmed source bans, serious moderation outcomes, or admin-confirmed platform actions. It does not call someone a cheater based only on an unverified report, publish raw risk scores, or guarantee cheat-free teammates.
Queue honestly, treat people fairly, and keep serious concerns inside the private review process.
