In-Game Chat Guide - JumpStart
The in-game chat system can be a bit of a mystery and confusion can arise concerning why players’ chat is blocked. While players have reported being silenced for not saying anything inappropriate, please be mindful that JumpStart is made for players of all ages, ranging from children to adults. That said, our goal is to protect all of our players from harmful language or messages that may put players in potentially harmful situations. Here is a general guide of words and phrases that are blocked in our chat system. Hopefully this can help you from being silenced for unintentional language.
