Hello Kovazia, 2026 brings meaningful changes to Kovaze, including the upcoming release of the most ambitious Reality TV–style format to date. This will bring the advent of a rapidly growing user base to our small community. We are preparing to purchase social media ads in the first half of 2026, which will also welcome a group of users who have not been on the previous sites, or may not even be familiar with ORGs. Soon, you will be considered part of the early-age users that founded Kovaze, subsequent to the soft launch. Being a small community is a strength. It allows us to be able to shape our community in the way we like, and who is allowed into our world. As you may have noticed, there was a recent ban-wave of cheaters. 11 users were banned to signal that the Kovaze Charter, which was established as a community, will be the standard as to who we allow onto this platform. On a more personal note - I am actively reading the bugs and suggestions channels on Discord and I want to apologise for the delay. Lately, there's been an increase in Ko-mergencies, including the cheating scandal that caused me to focus my time on anti-cheat tools for the mods. I'm not here to give excuses though, there's a lot of things I can do better. I acknowledge that the owners of the previous sites are a lot more experienced than I am, but I'm more than dedicated to getting this website polished and ready for a hard launch. The vision is, in 6 months' time, Kovaze will be the talk of the Reality TV community. You will log on to see 600+ users online at all times of the day. Games will be constantly filling with people you have never met or seen before. Blogs will be flourishing with new faces and new friends. This will only happen though, if we protect this platform during these rapidly changing times. Be the kind of people you want to see join our community. Thank you

- Back in October, Kovaze was ranked at around 1 million among the most visited websites worldwide. - By the end of November, we had surged to an incredible ~200,000 in global rankings. - And today, I’m excited to share that we’ve officially reached this milestone (see image!) We're rising hundreds of ranks by the day. The growth over just three months has been nothing short of unreal, and we’re only getting started. --- # Looking Ahead to 2026 Kovaze is still very much in open beta, but 2026 is where things really begin to scale. Our goal is to push Kovaze into the mainstream, not just within the ORG space, but across the wider Reality TV community as a whole. We’re currently in discussions with several major LRGs regarding potential partnerships, alongside planned advertising campaigns designed to introduce Kovaze to a broader audience of reality-TV lovers. This expansion will help diversify the player base, ensuring that every game feels fresh, unpredictable, and exciting. Before lift-off, our focus is on refining the foundations: improving onboarding for new players, fixing remaining bugs, and rolling out a few key features to strengthen the experience. Once that’s locked in, it’s full speed ahead! To our dedicated players, and to the moderators who continually give their time to protect and support the community: thank you. Kovaze wouldn’t be what it is without you.

Hey everyone, we are excited to announce the launch of our first ever custom discord bot! To gain access into our official Discord server, you will need to link your Kovaze account. This can be done by the click of the button in your settings! https://www.kovaze.com/mysettings/discord You can also enable a "Ping" feature. This will ping you on Discord when your games start, so you will never have to miss another Race! :) We're excited by what else we can do with this Discord bot, and hope to integrate some more features in the near future!

We’re rolling out a new Honour System across Kovaze to make moderation more consistent, transparent, and predictable. Instead of bans feeling random or different depending on who is moderating, Honour creates a clear “behaviour score” that determines when (and how long) punishments apply. ### 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿? Every account now has an Honour score ranging from 0 to 25. * 25 Honour is the maximum and the default for new accounts. * Honour reflects your behaviour over time. * When you receive moderation penalties, Honour can be reduced. * With good behaviour, Honour can recover. * If your honour drops past a certain threshhold, you may lose access to some features such as The Daily Spin. You can view your current Honour, history, and checkpoints at **Honour (via Settings → Honour)**. --- ## 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 When a moderator issues a punishment, they will now apply an Honour Points Penalty (0–25) along with a reason. That penalty is deducted from your Honour score and logged in your Honour history. You’ll be able to see: * The date/time of the change * The Honour change (e.g. -5) * Your new total Honour * The reason attached --- ## 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 (𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬) If a penalty causes your Honour to cross into a new threshold, an automatic ban will be applied using the same reason the moderator provided. Bans trigger only when you cross into a threshold you were previously above. Example: dropping from 20 → 17 will **not** ban you, because you were already at/below the 20 checkpoint. **Ban thresholds:** * 20 or lower → 1 day ban * 15 or lower → 3 day ban * 10 or lower → 7 day ban * 5 or lower → 14 day ban * 0 → Permanent ban If a penalty crosses multiple thresholds at once, the system applies the **most severe** newly crossed ban. --- ## 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿) Honour is designed to reward consistent good behaviour over time. * As a rule of thumb: 1 Honour point regenerates every 7 days*without penalties. * Regeneration happens in checkpoint jumps, not one point at a time. Checkpoints: 0 → 5 → 10 → 15 → 20 → 25 Example: * If you’re on 17 Honour, you’re in the 15–20 bracket. * To regenerate from 17 → 20, you need 3 points, so 3 × 7 = 21 days without penalties. * After reaching 20, regenerating from 20 → 25 takes 5 × 7 = 35 more days without penalties. Honour updates once per day, and all regeneration increases are logged in your Honour history the same way penalties are. --- ## 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 This system is here to: * Make punishments consistent * Reduce “in the moment” moderation decisions * Give users a clear understanding of what happens next * Encourage long-term good behaviour without permanent marks for minor issues Honour does not replace the rules - it’s a structured way of enforcing them. --- ## 𝗔 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 Moderation can still issue a permanent ban when needed, or an IP ban for the most serious violations. For the vast majority of cases, Honour will be the standard and transparent path. If you keep things respectful, your Honour will recover naturally over time. Moderation will be posting an update on the penalties that you can expect to lose with each rule break. Thanks for helping keep Kovaze enjoyable for everyone.
