Make room for a good game

Community rules.

A welcoming space for players, built on respect, fair play, and useful conversation.

A good game starts with respect

The 8 Ball Universe community is for players to learn, share ideas, find clubs, and enjoy the game together.

The forum is currently open for reading.

Registration and new member participation are temporarily closed while account email is being connected. You can browse published discussions now.

These rules apply to forum posts, profiles, usernames, messages, and other community contributions. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy also apply.

Keep it respectful

  • Disagree with ideas without attacking people. Harassment, threats, hate speech, and discriminatory abuse are not welcome.
  • Do not publish someone else’s private information, account details, private messages, or identifying documents without authorization.
  • Keep content suitable for a general gaming community. Do not post sexual exploitation, graphic violence, or unlawful content.

Play and participate fairly

  • Do not distribute cheats, account-stealing tools, exploit instructions for abuse, or services that undermine fair play.
  • Do not impersonate staff, moderators, or other players.
  • No spam, scams, misleading offers, account trading, or unsolicited commercial promotion.
  • Post in the appropriate category, use a clear title, and avoid repeated or deliberately disruptive posts.
  • Only share content you have the right to publish.

Report concerns privately

Use the forum’s reporting tools where available, or contact support. Include a link and a concise explanation. Keep sensitive information and unproven personal accusations out of public threads.

How moderation works

Moderators may move, edit, hide, or remove content, issue warnings, restrict features, or suspend accounts to enforce these rules. The response depends on the severity, context, and history of the conduct. Urgent risks may require action without an advance warning.

If you believe a moderation action was mistaken, use the contact form with your forum username, the relevant link, and a brief explanation. Do not create new accounts to evade restrictions.

Remember that posts can be public

Forum posts may be visible to anyone and indexed by search engines. Do not post passwords, email verification codes, receipts, or private support details. Use the deletion request page for account and personal-data requests.
