You won't get banned teabagging in Warzone and Black Ops 6

At the time of writing, we cannot confirm the source of the fake rumor that started online, claiming teabagging in Warzone and Black Ops 6 is a banneable offense. The image carries a fake stamp of Activision (publishers of Call of Duty) as well as Raven Software (the team behind Warzone).

The image titled "Official Player Conduct" notes that the following,

"Effective immediately: "Teabagging" or "Diddying" is a bannable offense"

The notice then claims these steps were undertaken to foster a respectful and all-inclusive gaming experience for all, and hence, their "Player Conduct Policy" was updated.

In the fake report, teabagging is defined as rapid crouching over a downed or an eliminated player. As for diddying, it has been defined as excessive taunting after eliminating a player to humiliate or harass them. Despite what the "notice" claims, the details mentioned therein are false. There has been no official communication from Activision about teabagging in Warzone and Black Ops 6 being a bannable offense.

Their Code of Conduct page doesn't state anything that even remotely hints at the image being true. Call of Duty asks its players to follow just three basic guidelines when playing online. They are:

Treat everyone with respect.
Compete with integrity.
Stay vigilant.

That's it. If you want to learn more about what each of these rules means, you may check out the official Code of Conduct page.

That covers just about everything you need to know about the recent rumors regarding diddying and teabagging in Warzone and Black Ops 6 being a bannable offense.
