You are free to use any language in global chat. However, we recommend using English so that everyone can understand and participate.
If someone speaks a language you don’t understand, simply mute them by pressing B and clicking the speaker icon next to their name.
While other languages are tolerated, using vulgar language, insults, or offensive content in any language will result in a warning, followed by punishment if the behavior continues.
Note: The same rules apply to the Discord ↔ in-game chat bridge.
1.2 No Spamming
Please do not spam. Space your messages out and allow room for others to engage in meaningful conversation.

1.3 No Advertisement or Trolling
Obvious advertisements, trolling, or disruptive behavior will be dealt with immediately. Admins may remove offending players without warning. All chat is logged and can be reviewed.
Possible Punishments: Kick / Temp Ban / Perma Ban
2. Toxicity
2.1 Zero Tolerance for Toxicity
We do not tolerate toxic behavior on HWS. Light teasing in PvP is fine, but ongoing harassment, insults, name-calling, or blame-shifting is not acceptable.
How our Anti-Toxicity System works:
Do not engage with toxic behavior. If you respond, you're also considered guilty—it doesn't matter who started it.
If someone is toxic, take a screenshot, press B, and mute the player.
We all deal with enough toxicity in real life—please don’t bring it here. If you want to trash talk, do it in your own Discord, by email, or somewhere outside of HWS.
Possible Punishments: Kick / Temp Ban / Perma Ban
3. Behavior & Community
3.1 Respect Everyone
Be respectful toward others—even if they’re not in your current chat. This means: no racism, sexism, shaming, or verbal abuse of any kind.
3.2 Keep It Family Friendly
HWS is a family-friendly server. Minors and women are part of our community. Keep global chat clean and avoid profanity or inappropriate language.
3.3 No Sensitive Topics
Religion, politics, gender discussions, and other polarizing topics have no place on HWS or its Discord. Please take those conversations to Reddit or other platforms.
3.4 No Offensive Names or Content
You may not use offensive, vulgar, or impersonating names in any of the following:
Your structure/vehicle names
Steam username
Forum or Discord nickname
Faction names
Even if Steam allows certain names, we don’t. You will be warned and, if you don’t comply, banned. Attempts to hide identity or other suspicious naming behavior will also be punished.
Final decisions are made by admins and are not up for debate.
3.5 No Disruptive Behavior (e.g., Drunkenness)
If your behavior negatively affects the community—even as a joke or under the influence—you may receive a temporary ban to give you time to sober up and return respectfully.
3.6 Use Your In-Game Name
When joining our Discord, please use your in-game name. This helps us verify you’re a real player and assist you properly with in-game issues.
3.7 Faction Recruitment
Do not spam recruitment messages in global chat. Each faction may post one message per 24 hours.
