From inappropriate user-generated content (UGC) to ramming in multiplayer, when a Code of Conduct violation happens, we want you to be prepared and well informed when it comes to the player reporting process so that your report gets to the right place for review.
Common violations that result in enforcement action in Forza titles include:
- Cheating & Unallowed Modding, including running cheat software, obtaining unreleased cars, modifying game files, etc.
- Inappropriate UGC, covering creation and sharing of liveries, layer groups, blueprint titles, photos, and anything else that can be player-edited or -created in any Forza title. Inappropriate content can include gore, profanity, defamation, etc. All Forza titles are rated E for Everyone, and as such, all UGC must adhere to that rating.
- Unsportsmanlike Conduct pertains mainly to intentional race disruption, such as wrecking, ramming, spearing, shoving, pitting, wall riding, brake checking, blocking, and track cutting/extending to pass another racer to gain position, bullying, and vulgar language. In other words, going out of your way to intentionally ruin a race goes against the spirit of the game.
- Please use in-game reporting (instructions detailed below) for offensive items that are visible in the Auction House, Vinyl Groups & Liveries, Photos, or Blueprints.
- If the item is not visible in the game, then please submit a ticket.
You can read the Forza Code of Conduct for more information.
