There's nothing wrong with playing to win, but what happens when someone crosses the line between competitor and griefer?

Gaming

If you run into a griefer, don’t respond. Block them, save any evidence, and report them.
Choose gender-neutral, appropriate screennames.
Use voice-mask so other gamers don’t know your age or gender.
Don’t share personal information through game chat.
Don’t share your account details, like passwords, with other gamers, or even your friends.
Never agree to meet a fellow gamer offline if you do not know them in person.
If something happens that makes you feel scared or uncomfortable, tell an adult you trust.
Remember, if an advertisement or another gamer offers something that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If you’re upset while gaming, take a break and cool off before continuing.
Respect other gamers online and don’t become a griefer yourself.
Gaming online involves real people. Think about what you say and do!
