Harassment/inappropriate language
· Zone.com inappropriate language can include any language that in any way
looks like, sounds like, stands for, hints at, abbreviates, or insinuates
any of the following: profanity, sexual content (including but not limited
to explicit language, sexual innuendo, sexual content, or references to
sexual preferences), slurs (including but not limited to racial, ethnic, or
religious slurs), illegal drugs/controlled substances, or illegal
activities.
· Any non-game-related conversation that takes up a substantial amount of
the lobby chat space and prevents users from finding a game partner should
be moved to private game tables or private chats. You are welcome to
advertise, and encourage people to join in, these discussions within the
lobbies, but please be reasonable about the frequency with which you do so.
Continuation of lengthy conversations in the main lobby area can be
considered a violation of the Code of Conduct. Given that it is so easy to
move to a private table and people are welcome to announce this in the
lobby, we expect that this won't be a problem.

advocates or encourages expressions of violence, bigotry, racism, hatred, or
profanity. Zone.com does not tolerate racial, ethnic, sexual, or religious
slurs.
· Microsoft does not tolerate disruptive activity online or statements that
incite others to violate this Code of Conduct or participate in illegal
activities.
· Do not use profanity or sexually explicit language on Zone.com or in its
newsgroups.
· Threatening or harassing tournament hosts, Zone.com Member Pluses,
Zone.com Community Managers, and Zone.com employees is prohibited and can
result in immediate termination of your Zone.com account.
· If you post Web links or URLs in the lobby or game chat that point to
content deemed inappropriate by Zone.com Member Pluses or Community
