Unacceptable Behavior

There are certain behaviors that are unacceptable and will lead to being banned from the service. They are as follows;

  • Harassment: there is no place in Whirled for deliberately harassing other players, either by being offensive or by 'stalking' them, doxing, sending repeated requests or chat messages, etc. Deliberately circumventing a block is considered harassment behavior.
  • Spamming: repeated text of any kind is unacceptable, including demands to 'Be my friend' or 'Play this game'.
  • Scamming: attempting to trick people into revealing their account information or personal information (i.e., phishing, collecting information for illegal purposes, etc.) is unacceptable.
  • Indecency: offensive language and uploading offensive content (see below) is not supported in Whirled. You must exercise good judgement about what the people with you find offensive, and if in doubt, err on the side of caution. Slurs of any kind are not accepted on Whirled Club.
