Wecket exists so people can connect honestly and safely. These guidelines explain what that means in practice — what we welcome, what we don't, and how we enforce the line between them.
They're not exhaustive. If something isn't explicitly forbidden but clearly makes Wecket worse for everyone, we'll act on it anyway. The spirit of these rules matters more than the letter.
No credible threats of violence against anyone. No glorification of mass violence, terrorism, or self-harm. No content that encourages anyone to hurt themselves or others.
No targeted harassment — no sustained attacks on a person, no pile-ons, no doxxing (sharing someone's private information without consent, such as their home address, phone number, workplace, or family members).
Criticising someone's public actions or ideas is fine. Following them around, coordinating others to attack them, or trying to make them feel unsafe is not.
No content that attacks or dehumanises people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or veteran status.
Debating policy, discussing ideas, and criticising institutions are all permitted. Attacking people for who they are is not.
No sexually explicit content in public posts or communities. Private messages between consenting adults are your business — but non-consensual sharing of intimate images is prohibited everywhere and will result in a permanent ban and, where we can, referral to law enforcement.
Absolutely no content that sexualises minors, in any form. This is a hard line and results in immediate permanent ban.
No bulk messaging, repetitive posting, or coordinated promotional spam. No phishing, investment scams, fake giveaways, romance scams, or unsolicited financial advice. If it looks like it's designed to trick someone out of money or credentials, it isn't allowed.
Don't pretend to be someone else. Don't create accounts on behalf of public figures, brands, or organisations you don't represent. Don't create multiple accounts to evade a ban.
Parody accounts are allowed if they're clearly labelled as parody and don't mislead people about who's speaking.
No content that facilitates illegal activity — buying or selling drugs, weapons, stolen goods, or stolen personal data. No content that teaches people how to break the law in ways that harm others.
Only share content you have the right to share. Don't repost other people's work without credit or permission. If you believe your copyright has been infringed, send the details through our enquiry form.
We don't remove good-faith disagreement or personal experience. We do remove content that could cause direct harm — for example, promoting fake cures for serious diseases, telling people to stop prescribed medication, or spreading health claims designed to defraud people.
Don't try to hack, scrape, overload, or otherwise interfere with Wecket. Don't use automated tools to create accounts, send messages, or artificially inflate engagement. Don't try to access another user's account.
Communities are spaces for specific groups to gather around shared interests. The person who creates a community is responsible for how it's run. Community moderators can remove members and posts, and their decisions are theirs — we don't intervene unless the community is being used to violate these guidelines at scale.
We may remove a community entirely if it exists primarily to violate these guidelines — for example, a community dedicated to coordinated harassment or to spreading content that sexualises minors.
When content is reported, we review it against these guidelines. Depending on the severity and pattern, we may:
Certain categories — content that sexualises minors, credible threats of violence, coordinated harassment campaigns, and non-consensual intimate imagery — result in immediate permanent bans with no prior warning. We also report these to law enforcement where legally required and practically possible.
If you believe a moderation decision was wrong, you can appeal through our enquiry form within 30 days of the decision. Include the specific content or account you're appealing and explain why. A different reviewer than the one who made the original decision will look at it.
If you see something that violates these guidelines, please report it. Use the report option in the app, or use our enquiry form. Reports are confidential — the person you're reporting won't know it was you.
If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. We can act on Wecket content, but we can't respond as fast as an emergency service can.
As Wecket grows and the world changes, these guidelines will change with it. We'll update this page when they do. Continued use of Wecket after an update means you accept the new guidelines.
