The spirit
Be the person other players are glad walked into town. Help the new arrival, congratulate the record, take the argument to a better place. Everything below is just this, itemised.
The rules
- No harassment. Don't target people — not for their play style, their pace, their mistakes, or who they are. Persistent unwanted attention counts.
- No hate. Slurs and hateful content of any kind end the conversation immediately, and usually the account's access to chat.
- Keep it broadly all-ages. People play Wanderer on the bus and at the kitchen table. No explicit content, in text or in names.
- No spam or advertising. Repetition, flooding, referral links, crypto — no. Sharing your Wanderer video or guide is fine and welcome.
- No cheating talk that helps cheating. Discussing game mechanics is the point of chat; distributing exploits, bots or account-trading is not.
- Names follow the same rules. A name that would break the rules in chat breaks them on a character sheet too.
- Don't impersonate the developer, moderators, or other players.
How moderation works
Chat is filtered automatically for the obvious things, with human review behind it. Depending on severity, consequences run from a removed message, to a chat mute, to account suspension for serious or repeated abuse (see the terms). Moderation calls aim to be boring, consistent and explainable; if you think one got it wrong, use the contact form and a human will look.
Reporting
If someone is making the road worse, report it — through the contact form or in the Discord. Include the character name and roughly when it happened. You won't be named to the person you reported.
