Welcome to DC Dual Force and YUKE'S Co., Ltd. We ask that you treat fellow players with courtesy and respect, and that you conduct yourself in a civilized manner while participating in DC Dual Force and on any YUKE'S Co., Ltd. (YUKE'S) websites.

Below you will find a detailed list of unacceptable topics and behavior. The guidelines below are just that. Some offensive behavior may not be explicitly detailed. As such, game masters and moderators have the authority to address any behavior that they feel is inappropriate.

This policy is not language-restrictive (Legal: The English version of policy and the English language shall govern the interpretation and meanings of all words and phrases used herein, however, this policy itself is not language specific in application). Language that falls under this policy will always be subject to the repercussions listed, whether it is inappropriate in English or any other language. While posting on these forums, you will encounter thousands of other players who share different experiences and come from vastly different backgrounds. While certain language and images may not be offensive to you, consider the fact that that same language and images may have a completely different effect on someone else.

Suspension or banishment from the game will always result in the same action being taken against your website or forum account. Your access to DC Dual Force is a “privilege,” and not a “right.” YUKE'S reserves the right to suspend your access at any time at YUKE'S sole discretion. Reasons for suspension or banishment include, but are not necessarily limited to, your failure to abide by these guidelines.

We reserve the right to evaluate each incident on a case by case basis. If a user is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct, appropriate action will be taken based on the severity of the infraction. Potential disciplinary actions may include a formal warning, temporary suspension of forum or game privileges, or a permanent ban.

PLEASE NOTE: Disciplinary actions, resulting from a violation of the community forum Code of Conduct, may include at YUKE'S sole discretion, disciplinary actions that affect a player’s associated game account. You can appeal any disciplinary sanction or provide feedback on a forum moderator by opening a ticket at DC Dual Force Support by emailing [email protected]. These tickets will be reviewed by YUKE'S. All rulings are final. No further appeals will be granted.
