Protecting players, communities & creators
Policy & Safety
Your safety, privacy, and well‑being are core to how we build Kova. These policies explain how we protect you and what we expect from everyone in the community.
Community Guidelines
Kova is designed to be a safe, inclusive, and positive space for gamers everywhere. Our guidelines set expectations so everyone can enjoy their time on Kova without harassment or toxicity.
-
🤝 Respect & InclusivityTreat all community members with respect regardless of skill level, identity, or game preferences. Discrimination, hate speech, and harassment are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate action.
