Community Guidelines
The short version. The Network is for people who want to talk about the game. Be decent to each other, label what you know versus what you heard, do not post other people's stuff or other people's details, and use Report and Block when something is wrong. Breaking these rules gets content removed and accounts suspended.
1. The rules
Be decent
- No harassment, threats, bullying or targeting of any person.
- No hate: no attacks on people for who they are — race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or similar.
- No sexual content, and nothing sexualising minors in any form. This is reported to the authorities where required.
- No glorifying real-world violence, self-harm or terrorism. The game is fiction; real people are not.
Respect other people's privacy
- Do not post anyone's personal information — real names tied to accounts, addresses, phone numbers, emails, workplaces, photos of them — without their clear permission. This includes streamers and creators.
- Do not impersonate a person, a studio, or The Lab.
Only post what you have the right to
- Upload only gameplay you recorded or have permission to use. Do not re-upload other creators' videos, streams or clips.
- Do not post leaked, stolen or hacked material, including development footage obtained from a breach.
- Credit sources when you quote them.
Keep the Network useful
- No spam, no repeated posting of the same thing, no engagement bait.
- No selling or advertising modded money, cheats, hacked accounts, boosting, or anything that breaches the game's own terms. Links to these are removed and accounts are banned.
- No scams, phishing, or links to malware.
Say how sure you are
- This app exists because, before the game ships, most numbers are guesses. If you post a figure, say where it came from. "I measured it" and "someone on a forum said" are both fine — just say which.
- Do not present rumours as confirmed, and do not fabricate "leaks".
2. The tools you have
- Report. Every post, comment and profile has a Report option in its menu. Reports go to a moderator. Reporting is private; the person you report is not told who reported them.
- Block. Blocking someone hides their content from you and yours from them, and removes any follow between you. They are not notified.
- Delete your own. You can delete your own posts and comments at any time.
3. How moderation works
- Posts and comments are checked automatically before they are published. Anything the filter flags is held for a moderator rather than shown.
- Moderators review reports and can remove content, hide it pending review, and suspend or ban accounts. Every moderator action is logged.
- Moderators are staff accounts protected by two-factor authentication.
4. What happens when the rules are broken
Depending on how serious it is, and whether it has happened before:
- The content is removed.
- Your account is suspended for a period.
- Your account is banned. Creating a new account to get around a ban is itself a ban.
Illegal content is removed immediately and may be reported to the relevant authorities.
5. Appeals
If you think a moderation decision was wrong, email rafaeljohnsenwettner@gmail.com from the address on your account, say which content or decision you are appealing, and why. A person will look at it.
6. Changes
These Guidelines will change as the community grows and once the game is out. The version and date at the top tell you which one applies; the app asks you to accept a new version before you post again.
