Keep the fight in the game

PettyPawn is for players 14 and older. Talk trash, curse, boast, mock a move. Keep the fight in the game.

“I will destroy you” and theatrical lines such as “Your pet lives with me now” are allowed as fictional trash talk. Context matters: using the same words to intimidate someone outside the game is not.

No real-world threats, stalking, attempts to find a player, or sharing or soliciting private details. Never post your own or someone else’s email, phone number or address.

No sexual content of any kind, in taunts, messages or usernames, and no sexual requests.

No hatred or dehumanization aimed at protected groups, encouragement of suicide or self-harm, scams or spam.

Zero tolerance: objectionable content is removed and abusive players are suspended or banned. Trash talk is part of the game; real-world abuse is not.

A block ends contact. Do not make another account to chase a player. Repeated targeted abuse can cross the line even without a forbidden word.

Use Report for suspected abuse and Block to stop contact. Losing, being offended by permitted trash talk, or filing a mistaken report is not itself misconduct. We review context and allow appeals at hello@pettypawn.com.

What happens after a report

A report is evidence to assess, not a guilty verdict. We consider the words, their context and patterns of conduct. We may reject or remove text, temporarily restrict communication, or suspend accounts for serious or repeated violations. The operator reviews reports personally. You can appeal by emailing hello@pettypawn.com with your username and report reference; never send your password.
