Our mission at Medal is to make it as easy as possible for you to watch, record and share your favorite gaming moments. We aim to provide you with a safe and friendly environment where you can talk with your friends, meet new people and show off your epic gaming moments!
Before you file a report, check that the offense violates our Medal Rules below. If you are unsure of any rules, please contact the support team.
General Rules
All topics should be covered here in our community guidelines or our Terms of Service.These rules apply to all areas of Medal including avatars, username, bio, clips, messaging, and comments. It is important for you to follow our guidelines to avoid actions taken against your Medal account.
In-game vs IRL
Unless mentioned otherwise, the guidelines below reflect our guidelines on IRL subjects. Though every case is reviewed and treated on a per-case basis, if Medal supports a game, we allow content of that game on the platform. Unless you knowingly modify the contents of the game to include items that are against our ToS and/or guidelines, it is allowed. As a rule of thumb - clipping scenes of GTA is not going to get you banned, but creating hate symbols in Minecraft and sharing clips of it on Medal is.

Suspension evasion will not only increase the length of suspension, but may lead to an indefinite suspension.
