Why do you not want to get in trouble? Because it is bad and there will be some disadvantages in the forum, such as being unable to become a moderator for 6 months, and may be silenced or banned, but more on that later.
1. How to Not Get into Trouble

Sensitive information or inappropriate content such as political, illegal, suicidal, or other unfamily friendly content in your profile, name, or profile picture. - Family-friendly forum without an age limit.
A forum for a geography guessing game, not a mature chat app. If you are the people who use this as a chat app, I recommend finding an actual chat app or moving to Discord. - Please refrain from sensitive and difficult-to-discuss topics.
Topics could make people uncomfortable, such as dating, relationships, or depression. As this is a family-friendly forum, this is not your personal venting place to discuss or air your grievances and problems. Please keep mature content out of the Forum. You can have problems, but do not try to make other people feel sorry, guilty, or uncomfortable. - Please do not start a topic in the wrong category, and keep it tidy.
- Do read the chat descriptions, and only post what is appropriate.
- Do not post any private information to anybody online. It can be used to dox you or cause unnecessary drama.
- Do not dox other people with private information, such as revealing faces, names, or addresses, without the user’s consent. This will lead to very severe punishments.
- Do note that this is an anonymous forum with various degrees of user behavior, and all advice should be taken with a grain of salt and should not be gained from here. If you are having problems, going to a real-life therapist or other adult would be recommended.
- Be agreeable, even when you disagree. Do not cause unnecessary conflicts. Be respectful of what you say and its impacts.
- Another thing to look at is the Terms of service. This is really important to read as it explains all about the use and conditions for the forum, and a lot of other important things.
- Dating is not allowed. It includes E-dating on the forum and bringing your real-life girlfriend or boyfriend to the forum. Even if you date in the DMs, if your post is flagged or exposed, you will be punished. If you try to date, send inappropriate messages to minors, or do any other predatory activities, you will be even more severely punished.
- Alts, unless your original account is lost or with permission of the mods, are not allowed.
- Do not be off-topic and keep your conversations meaningful and productive.
2. What do You do When You See a Problematic User?
- If you see a problem, just flag it. If it is in the chat, depending on your TL, you can silence the problematic user.
- DO NOT RESPOND! If you respond, a troller will be more encouraged to target you, and if you use some explicit words, you might get banned, too.
- Tell the moderators.
3. If You Got into Trouble
- If you made an alternate account, do not join on it. It counts as ban evasion, and you might get a more serious punishment.
- Just wait. If you are permanently banned, find something else to do.
- Read the top sections, and never do it again.
- Do not complain. If you got punished, you did something wrong.

- Post Flag: If your reply or post is flagged, depending on the TL and the reason, at worst, your reply could be hidden, and your post will be unlisted, and the mods will decide if they will accept the flag and remove the reply or not. If the flag is not accepted, you will be fine.
- Chat Flag: If your message is flagged, depending on the TL and the reason, at worst, you will be silenced for 10 minutes. If the flag is accepted, the message will be removed.
