Community Guidelines

1. Why we have these rules

Perthro is a quiet feed of the games people you trust are actually playing. That only works if the feed feels safe to write into. These guidelines exist to keep it that way. They apply to every public surface of the app: reviews, ratings, lists, comments, profiles, and anything you post on the web at perthro.io.

Perthro is for ages 16 and up, anywhere in the world. See section 12 of our Privacy Policy and section 2 of our Terms of Service.

2. What good Perthro looks like

• Write honestly. Your line about a game on a Tuesday night is the whole point. Even if it's "didn't click for me, dropped at hour four", that's useful.
• Disagree with the work, not the person. Plenty of people will love a game you hated. That's the network.
• Credit your sources. If you're quoting a review, a podcast, or another player, say so.
• Use lists for taste, not for pile-ons. "Games that ruined my year" with five real names is a list. "Games made by [studio] that I want delisted" is a pile-on. We'll remove the second.

3. What we won't allow

The following will be removed on sight, and may result in a suspension or a permanent ban depending on severity and history:

• Harassment. Targeting another member with insults, threats, slurs, sustained negative attention, or sharing their personal information (doxxing).
• Hate speech. Attacks on people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or serious medical condition.
• Threats and incitement. Calls for violence against a person, group, or developer. Glorifying real-world violence.
• Sexual content involving minors. Zero tolerance. We report this to law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
• Sexually explicit content. Perthro's public feed has a global minimum age of 16. Sexually explicit text or imagery isn't allowed in reviews, profiles, lists, or covers — regardless of NSFW tagging. Reviews of games with mature themes (violence, drug use, sexual themes that don't cross into explicit) are allowed but should use the in-app NSFW tag, which restricts visibility to users 18 and older.
• Self-harm content. Posts that promote, glorify, or give instructions for self-harm or suicide. We surface support resources when we see this.
• Illegal content. Pirated game files or links, leaked unreleased builds, stolen accounts, regulated goods.
• Spam and manipulation. Fake accounts, vote manipulation, review-bombing, paid placements without disclosure, scraping the app.
• Impersonation. Pretending to be a developer, publisher, or specific real person without consent.
• Off-topic commercial promotion. Using reviews to advertise unrelated products or services.

4. Spoilers

Tag spoilers in reviews using the in-app spoiler tag. Tagged spoilers are blurred until the reader taps to reveal. As a rule of thumb:

• If the game came out in the last six months, tag any plot beats past the opening hour.
• For older games, tag anything past the midpoint or anything tied to a major reveal.
• If you're not sure, tag it. Two taps to read past a blur is a small price.

Untagged major spoilers may be removed on report.

5. Reporting and blocking

Every member can:

• Report a review, comment, list, or profile by tapping the … menu and choosing Report. Tell us briefly which rule it breaks.
• Block a member from their profile. Blocked members can't see your posts, follow you, or comment on your reviews. You won't see anything they post.
• Mute a member to hide their posts from your feed without telling them.
• Hide any post in your feed. We use these signals to tune what surfaces.

Reports are reviewed by a human, usually within 24 hours. We don't tell the reported member who reported them.

6. How we enforce

When we receive a report or detect a violation ourselves, we may:

• Remove the specific content.
• Warn the member with a notice in-app explaining what was removed and why.
• Suspend the account for a set period. Suspended members can read but not post.
• Permanently ban the account. We do this for severe violations (CSAM, credible threats, repeat hate speech) and for repeat offenders.

Decisions weigh the severity of the violation, the member's history, and context. Egregious or repeat behaviour gets a faster ladder; first-time, low-severity calls usually get a warning.

7. Appealing a decision

If you believe an enforcement action against your account was a mistake, email contact@rune.art from the email associated with the account. Include the date of the action and any context you think we missed. A different person from the one who made the original decision will review the appeal.

8. Contact

To report a member or piece of content, use the in-app Report button. For everything else (including legal requests, safety concerns, and appeals), email contact@rune.art. We typically respond within two business days.

These guidelines sit alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where they overlap, the Terms control.
