Game developers are increasingly taking a stand against toxic behavior, and Call of Duty has become a leading example of this shift. The franchise has updated its enforcement policies to create a more respectful gaming environment.
Gone are the days when players could casually use harsh language in-game. With the introduction of voice recognition technology, CoD actively monitors in-game chat for abusive language, making inflammatory comments a thing of the past.
But where do we draw the line with in-game actions? If players can be penalized for what they say, could they also face repercussions for their character’s actions? Recent rumors are circulating that CoD players might face bans for performing popular but provocative actions such as teabagging.
Let’s dive into the details of whether you can truly be banned for teabagging in CoD.
Can You Get Banned for Teabagging in CoD?
No, teabagging is not a bannable offense in Call of Duty, nor is it considered a form of “diddying.” Activision’s official Code of Conduct clearly outlines what behaviors are subject to penalties in the game.
Recently, a viral image on social media claimed that CoD players could be banned for teabagging or diddying, but this was proven to be fake, created without any legitimate basis.
While CoD does have a strict policy against using derogatory language—often resulting in what is known as a “shadow ban” from voice chat—engaging in the time-honored tradition of teabagging is not a punishable offense.
According to CoD’s Code of Conduct, players are expected to treat others with respect. This includes not engaging in bullying, harassment, or hate speech of any kind. The relevant passage states:
“We do not tolerate bullying or harassment, including derogatory comments based on race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, culture, faith, mental or physical abilities, or country of origin…”
Unfortunately, misinformation spreads quickly online, often fueled by individuals seeking likes or simply wanting to stir up chaos. While the CoD reporting system may have its flaws—the shadow banning can lead to frustrations—teabagging is not something you need to worry about.
So, there you have it. Unless there are significant updates to the Code of Conduct including actions like teabagging, feel free to crouch as often as you like while enjoying your gaming experience.
