I see that expression in the forum rules, and I thought I understood what it meant, but I might be wrong.  This is the only video game forum that I frequent, so I'm unfamiliar with the term.  

 

Thanks for helping me and other newer players understand this better.

A call out, would be anything that directly targets someone(s) with the intentions of being malicious. IE "The staff is XXXX" "This player is XXXX". content is moderated, and action is taken if necessary on a per case basis.

 

Just avoid being toxic and if you do have some *feedback* try thinking constructive.

i.e. don't(can't) be critical whatsoever (even if warranted).

I'd wager the counterargument to this is "message the person you wish to challenge directly" in lieu of making a public spectacle out of it

Doesn't that mean that challenging someone publicly politely isn't a callout? For example, "Harmless_Kittens, are you dude enough to fite me 1v1 tomorrow night at 8 PM Pacific?" isn't toxic or malicious, whereas "Harmless_Kittens, you are super skrub, come fite me I am so strong kekeke noob" is.

 

Are both considered callouts?

start off your ranting and raving posts with this

disclaimer: contains non-malicious semi-toxic salt

also end your post with: #freeourfreedoms #downwiththepower #anarchyrising

the typical usage could be 

 

"ReaperTroll123 is using hacks. Here is a video of ReaperTroll123 using hacks."

 

Negative call-outs bad. Positive callouts generally Ok.
