Community Guidelines
Last updated July 2026
Vouch celebrates knowledge and showmanship — and protects people while doing it. These rules are built into the product, not just written here.
The sacred rules
Championship is a choice. Only players who "wear the hat" are rated. A civilian's post is ordinary — no counters, no Show track.
Never any harm. There are no negative points, no downvotes, and no walls of shame. Weakness is simply the absence of brilliance.
Rate the contribution, not the human. Every rating and report is about a post or reply — never the person.
Admission elevates. Adopting a correction ("You convinced me") rewards both sides. An open mind is a badge.
Sensitive topics
Arenas about medicine, drugs, safety, or crises are automatically limited to the 🧠 Knowledge track and require a source. Entertainment does not belong on top of someone's health.
Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users
There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on Vouch. Prohibited content includes harassment, hate speech and slurs, threats or incitement to violence, sexual content, impersonation, dangerous health misinformation, and spam. Vouch is 17+, and any content involving minors follows a strict zero-tolerance policy. By creating an account you agree to these terms and to a zero-tolerance stance on objectionable content and abusive users.
How we enforce it
- Filtering: objectionable content is screened automatically when a post or reply is created, and is blocked before it can reach anyone's feed.
- Flagging: use the ⋯ menu on any post or reply to report it. Reports go to a human moderator with full context.
- Blocking: you can block any abusive user from their profile or from the ⋯ menu — their content is removed from your feed instantly and they can no longer interact with you.
- Fast action: we act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours — removing the content and ejecting the user who posted it. Every action is logged in an immutable audit trail.
