CODE OF CONDUCT
Updated on 1st of January, 2026.
CODE OF ETHICS & RULES
A CODE OF CONDUCT is a formal written document and/or a page outlining the
ethical principles, rules and expected behaviors for individuals within a organisation
or group, guiding them to act with integrity, professionalism, fairness ensuring a very
positive, compliant, safe and respectful environment for both internal interactions and
external dealings. It sets clear standards and boundaries for CONDUCT defining what
is acceptable (confidentially, objectivity and competence) and what's not, holds ground
and members, anyone else accountable or being responsible for their own actions, by
being responsible for adherence example as following the safety protocols as target.
ACM takes actions by updating this CODE OF CONDUCT on this website. ACM reserves all the rights to remain absolutely 120% silent of everything else which is not written anywhere in this website. ACM stands for SILENCE SPEAKS VOLUMES.
KEY ASPECTS OF A CODE OF CONDUCT
Guidance: Provides a framework for decision-making and actions, acting as a
compass for employees or non-employees.
Standards: Defines norms for professional, social and ethical behavior covering areas
like honesty, loyalty, respect and conflict of interests.
Compliance: Ensures alignment with laws, regulations and company values by
promoting legal and ethical operations only.
Culture: Helps building strong relationships, both personal and professional
relationships but also builds a positive, inclusive and safe work environment by
setting expectations for equal treatment and interaction.
Accountability: Establishes consequences for violations, ensuring members to
understand all their responsibilities.
CODE OF CONDUCT vs. CODE OF ETHICS
Code of Ethics: Aspirational, focusing on broad values, core values and principles by
doing what's best for business and for anyone else as individuals.
Code of Conduct: Specific, rule-based and practical what to do exactly and what not
to do.
Relationship: A CODE OF ETHICS often forms a strong foundation for the more
detailed rules in a CODE OF CONDUCT. In essence it is the rulebook for how to
behave within a specific setting, ensuring everyone's private life that is safe and
to ensure that everyone follows and operates consistently and ethically, by being
not only theoretically but also practically.
""By being not only theoretically but also practically" means and describes achieving
real-world effectiveness, moving beyond just understanding concepts (theory) to
actually implementing them successfully (practice), bridging the gap where ideas
meet reality often involving testing, application and adapting to real variables for
tangible results as exemplified by Kurt Lewin's quote, "There is nothing more
practical than a good theory." which means making abstract knowledge useful in
concrete situations, a core aspect of disciplines like philosophy (practical philosophy)
and sciences.""
ACM IS COMMITTED TO APPLY THIS "COC"
ACM is both personally and professionally committed to fighting toxicity and unfair play
by applying this CODE OF CONDUCT (COC). In this continued effort, we have set and
established a Brand New Name and Image as recognised as ACM itself. The ACM is
all against unlawful operations such as: Disrespect, Violence, Criminal acts, Fraud,
Defamation, Personal attacks, attacking ACM as a new identity, a symbol for an
honorable man, including the Brand's Name and Image of ACM, terrorism, assault,
invading someone's life privacy and any other damage that can be caused at any time
and place by anyone else. ACM exists only to prevent any past, present or future
damages. ACM learns from past experiences as well.
While there isn't one single universal symbol, common representations for an
honorable man often involve concepts like Truth, Integrity, Loyalty and Courage
often depicted through figures like knights or samurai or symbolic items such as
a lion (strength/nobility), a sword (justice/duty) or a white lily (purity/virtue), by
embodying actions like keeping promises, serving others, serve and protect and
upholding high moral standards.
Common Symbols and Qualities:
-
Lion: Represents courage, nobility and strength of character/
-
Sword: Symbolizes justice, duty and the readiness to defend principles.
-
White Lily/Rose: Signifies purity, virtue and integrity.
-
Knight/Samurai: Archetypes embodying chivalry, honor codes and self-sacrifice.
BEHAVIOURS
Treat everyone with Respect. At ACM, we do not tolerate bullying or harassment direct
or indirect including derogatory comments based on race, gender, identity or any other
expression, sexual orientation, age, culture, religion, mental or physical ability and/or
national origin or the glorification of any person, program or movement that promotes
discrimination or violence based on any of the above by applying this "COC". All official
or unofficial members of ACM community should be treated with dignity and respect.
Communication with others, whether through text or voice chat should not contain any
offensive or harmful language and/or images. Hate speech and any discriminatory
language are offensive and unacceptable by ACM's standards as are bullying and
threatening another individual.
LET'S FIGHT WITH INTEGRITY: Competitive integrity is at the heart of the ACM logo.
Progression is earned through good, fair path to success. Harassment or other threats
to fair play will never ever be tolerated by ACM. You are responsible for how your own
account is used and/or being used for. Exploiting any other activity that provides an
unfair advantage is considered A BREACH OF LAW. ACM IS THE LAW.
LET'S STAY VIGILANT: Together at ACM, we all can keep a real, fair, fun, enjoyable
and very pleasant experience for everyone that can adhere to and agree to. Please
report incidents or inappropriate behavior.
SECURITY AND ENFORCEMENT: ACM is committed to providing a fun and fair experience for all to enjoy and consider our role in detecting and addressing violations
vital to maintaining a high level and enjoyable playing field. If you do believe that a suspension or termination of a contract was unfairly imposed, you can file an appeal.
Learn more about ACM's Security and Enforcement policies here. Security and Enforcement policies do involve protecting people, assets and data through technologies and personnel (like POLICE or PRIVATE GUARDS) to ensure that rules
are followed, prevent threats and respond to incidents by covering public safety (Europol, NATIONAL POLICE) to private sectors (CORPORATE SECURITY, GAME
POLICIES) and financial security (LENDER RECOVERY). Enforcement brings these
securiy measures to life, applying controls like firewalls, access controls or physical presence to uphold standards and deter violations.
Key Areas of Security and Enforcement: Public Safety and Law Enforcement
Police, Military Police or Specialized Agencies (like EUROPOL) enforce laws, protect
citizens and Counter Crime/Terrorism, often using advanced tech like very big data analytics, hacks, cheats.
Corporate and Digital Security: Companies enforce policies via firewalls, multi-factor
authentication (MFA) and access controls to protect data and systems from breaches.
Private Security: Guards and Security Police protect specific properties or events by
maintaining order and detaining suspects until public police arrives.
Financial Security: Lenders enforce security interests (collateral) to recover debts, often through legal processes outside court (SARFAESI INDIAN ACT) or mortgage
enforcement in The Netherlands.
Online and Gaming: Companies like Activision have security teams that enforce user policies, reviewing infractions before action like bans.
Security establishes the rules, assets and vulnerabilities (example a firewall protecting
a network). Enforcement applies and upholds those rules (example the firewall blocks
unauthorized traffic). This balance often involves navigating fundamental rights, data
privacy (GDPR) and the evolving challenges of digital environments, requiring robust
legal frameworks and ethical considerations.
Unlawful operations refer to any activity performed without legal authority or violation of laws, regulations or proper conduct covering a broad spectrum from minor to major infractions like driving off-road where prohibited to serious crimes as assault, fraud, terrorism or even actions outside legal bounds like the real unauthorized government surveillance "BLACK OPS" or historical euphemisms for illegal abortions all implying a
breach of established rules or rights. Actions performed without legal authority or the
proper social conduct which leads to a contrary to established rules and statutes. Contrast with "ILLEGAL" while often used interchangeably "UNLAWFUL" can be broader encompassing breaches of rules as handball in sports while "illegal" strictly means against the written law. ACM is about lifestyle, fitness, gym workouts so it is considered a sport business at its core.
EXAMPLES ACROSS CONTEXTS
Vehicles: Driving motorized vehicles on city-owned land, sidewalks or waterways without proper authorization or recklessly actions.
Business/Regulatory: A motor carrier operating without a license or violating commission rules.
Military: Receiving or carrying out an unlawful order, such as intentionally harming civilians or torturing detainees which is a serious offense.
Medical/Historical: "ILLEGAL OPERATION" was a euphemism for induced abortion in past centuries.
Environmental: Causing damages to the environment through reckless or unauthorized actions.
If an operation requires permission, license or adherence to specific rules, performing
without those requirements or breaking those rules, constitutes an unlawful operation
and/or many unlawful operations carrying potential legal consequences.
