Safety

Safe and moderated

A word filter, a link block and real moderators keep the conversation friendly.

  • Adults only

    Rooms are for adults aged 18 or older. Anyone underage is removed.

  • Real moderators

    Moderators review reported messages and can delete them for everyone.

  • Links blocked

    Nobody can post links, which stops spam, scams and phishing.

  • Bans that stick

    Rule breakers lose the right to post, and bans are hard to get around.
