How do we screen nominees?

All registered content creators are allowed to participate in the vetting process. Additional support may be requested outside the group to ensure a thorough process.

Nominees are eligible to participate provided they are both eligible for their category as stated in the Guidelines and that their content adheres to the Wizards of the Coast Code of Conduct.

The most pertinent sections of the Code of Conduct are as follows:

Do not use, post, distribute or link to obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit, graphically or gratuitously violent, derogatory, demeaning, malicious, defamatory, abusive, offensive, hateful or discriminatory language or content. This includes “masking” language by using alternative characters/spelling /spacing to get around profanity filters or claims of profanity filter “testing”.

Do not harass, bully, threaten, harm or cause discomfort for other persons, including any other members. For example:

  • Use of hate speech or racial, ethnic, sexist, homophobic or religious slurs;
  • Harassment of a specific person (repeated flaming, personal attacks or posting their private information);
  • Trolling or baiting the community in general with inflammatory statements, such as ones designed to elicit a negative response from the community; or
  • Posting or otherwise disclosing any personal or private information of another person, or any confidential information pertaining to a business, without consent.

Do not promote, plan, glorify or engage in any illegal activity or otherwise make available content that would encourage or provide instructions for an illegal activity. These topics include crimes relating to drugs, drug paraphernalia, rape, solicitation of a minor, computer hacking, counterfeiting and fraud.

The MTGCCA maintains the right to deny eligibility to any content creator at the discretion of the director.
