Blocker

A blocker is a player who intentionally fails or kills other people.

If you see someone blocking you can report them on the discord server in the #reports channel.

Blocker Servers

These are servers based on the DDNet mod where you can block freely.

Fun Voting

Voting for no reason (often it's the vote option 'Kick player' or 'Move to spectators').

If you see someone voting to ban you or someone else for no reason, you can report them on the discord server in the #reports channel.

Edging

Edging (or 'to edge') refers to the move of placing yourself on the edge of a block, where you are out of range of blocks like freeze, teleport or kill which are on top of the block you are on.

In race terminology, this is also referred to as 'buguse'.

Fail

This is a common term used by players to refer to the state where you can no longer progress on the map, be it because everyone is frozen, or you can't do a part alone and your partners are not in a place you can reach.

Failing in DDNet is pretty common, especially in harder map difficulties such as DDmaX, Oldschool, Moderate, Brutal and Insane since these maps have faily parts.

Faily part

Map parts where you can fail. Sometimes, players will say "faily" when you should be more cautious than usual.

Follow

Example: "you flw?"

Asks you to follow onto another server.

Noob Filter

A solo part at the start of a cooperative map, that needs to be passed by everyone before they can start the map.
