TGIF! I apologize for the lack of a TGIF last week, as I unexpectedly needed to take the day off, and didn't make a post ahead of time. I know you were probably all missing your weekly dose of awful humour, but don't worry, I'm back so let's get to it! Player Bans Dec 29 - Jan 11 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 10 MS: 5 If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New limited items! A new week means new limited items! Look Awesome? Go get them!

Community Code of Conduct Updates The Code of Conduct is an ever-evolving set of guidelines for interactions here in the forums. We have established these guidelines as we feel they best enable civil and respectful discussion, and allow everyone the opportunity to be awesome. Please have a quick read through, as following these guidelines is very important to maintaining a healthy community and forums. Clicking anywhere on this section will take you to the updated Code of Conduct. Support Report Howdy players. As some of you have no doubt noticed, we have transitioned over to our new ticketing system. If you have any feedback or questions about it, feel free to let us know. This is likely a no-brainer for many of you, but I'm going to spell it out for everyone: please do NOT call anyone pedophile in our games, or even imply that anyone is some kind of child predator. We expect a certain amount of antagonism in fighting games, but comments like these are not funny and not even remotely okay. Online safety is something we take seriously. If you think someone is harming children, then the place to take your concerns is the police, not the feeds or chat. Players who toss around accusations like these will have action taken against their accounts. On a happier note, I will be taking off the next week and half and going somewhere warm. Wonder Bread will be covering Support during this time, so everyone play nice and make his job easy while I'm away. -Melanie Joke of the week! Joke of the week time!
