How to Avoid Being Banned?

If you want to avoid being banned in Animal Company VR or its Discord community, the best approach is to follow the rules and use the tools available to you.

1. Read the Rules First

The first step in avoiding bans is to understand the expectations of the community:

• Review the Code of Conduct carefully.
• Read the Discord community rules to ensure you know what behavior is acceptable.

⚠️ Many bans come from repeated violations of these rules, so being informed is the best prevention.

2. Play and Chat Responsibly

• Stay respectful to other players at all times.
• Avoid using offensive language or disruptive behavior.
• Remember that repeated violations escalate penalties quickly, from short mutes to long-term bans.

3. Muting Yourself When Needed

If you don’t want to risk triggering the voice moderation system (for example, if there’s background noise or you’re unsure whether something might be flagged), you can mute yourself:

• Look at the watch on your wrist.
• Navigate to the Settings menu by pointing the thumbstick at the gear icon in the lower right.
• Toggle on the “Mute Microphone” checkbox by pointing at the option with your other hand and pressing the trigger button.
